honestly, its suprising bcus its sakuraba. but because its sakuraba. hes not afraid to say it like it is and say what he thinks about ryuu to the person himself. like calling ryuu out, hes up and front about it and he helps ryuu say his honest thoughts that he bottles up out loud too. its unexpected but nice, what with them being polar opposites. imo, he and ryuu kinda balance each other out. their dynamic is pleasing.
