While he has the genius-level sharpness to see through an opponent's opening and win, he also acts on principles regardless of profit or loss—something Ginji and the others lack—and is a possessor of great luck. Admiring Ginji's villainy and his genius talent for acquiring money, he harbors the ambition to "become a man called Gold (Kin) who surpasses Silver (Gin)." He absolutely loves Guest. Through numerous battles, he grows by solidifying his resolve to survive as a villain and his readiness to throw away his life to win. However, in the battle over the Kamui family, he was unable to save Katsuhiro and Kunio, whom he wished to rescue due to their circumstances. As a result, the outcome benefited Shuho, the source of all the evil. This led him to believe that "the only ones who benefit from what we do are villains," and he decided to wash his hands of the underworld, parting ways with Ginji.
