Although he cannot read the atmosphere most times, he is quite aware of people's feelings. Most of the time, he acts nonchalant (of a person or manner) feeling or appearing casually calm and relaxed; not displaying anxiety, interest, or enthusiasm). When he gets angry, he can be quite scary and can rival Keiichi Katakura's sadistic side.
