I was super sus of him prior to his claim. After Fuji dueled him and his fate was basically sealed, he seemed genuinely pissed and remained consistent with their legacy and susses the entire time. I also had the impression of him claiming 3 shot with the same type of role as me a believable set up. It wasn’t purely their actual claim it was the tone of how they read to me in the moment, which if you go back is exactly what I said at the time. I just didn’t want to out the similarity in our roles at that point
