Yeah...I realize that this show is Buddyfight, but unless they do something cool, that'll just being weird and kinda stupid. I mean, yes, he needs to overcome his demons, but doing so through Buddyfight? That's better suited to a character arc, since he can't just overcome them that easily.

He has a crippling fear of being forgotten, he fears that if he makes his voice heard then people will hate him, he has virtually no self-esteem (from being bullied, having no friends for so long, and no clear talents while hanging around those who do), he has trust issues thanks to that one kid along with Disaster, and not to mention the fact that he stole buddies so they could be brainwashed (and all bug Tsukikage are still brainwashed too, so his actions are still harming others).

All that isn't gonna go away with just one Buddyfight. His main characterization from now on will be to try to overcome all this in the seasons to come. This generation will likely end before this all goes away, he'll likely just be coping with it by the end.

And this isn't even touching the possibility that he might be gay in a society that isn't exactly friendly towards such a thing. Though, hey, Axia and Elf are a thing and no one seems to get hateful with them, so maybe future Japan is better with this sort of thing. Let's be honest, in a show where Axia and Elf exist, it's possible for more gay characters lol.
