Technically Bolt and Ikazuchi are not the same person. Bolt is the young member of the Fuchigami clan that became Yamigedo's buddy and wanted to stop the original. Ikazuchi was a crafted personality with artificial memories created by Gratos to work for the original Yamigedo and was absolutely obsessed with aiding him in his feasting.

They are the same body, but two different psyches, mindsets, and memories. Its why he first ran off when learning his memories were a lie, he couldn't reconcile his feelings with memories that he thought were false when they were really true.
