@jack @boag it certainly seems that way. It was a bit weird, that none of the HS years were in that group of photos that he showed that woman arranging the wedding reception. He looked a totally different person.
I thought this is gonna be the case that ohtori did some serial killer shit and took that friends face and wore it on himself. Well I guess its a nice change of pace at least to see backstory about our villain here. although wish they did him better than just giving him bacskstory. I still stand by saying Takako is a better kind of villain as this guy is just a one note evil.
i gotta say, i'm really wondering how he's going to go from the "mildly anti-social dickhead" sort to the emotional terrorist we all know and hate. odd that he seems to relish in making people miserable now
