I honestly thought his role was just to be the cute character, but it turns out he actually has a secret identity and abilities of his own. That revelation completely caught me off guard and made his character much more interesting. Even though the story is still progressing at a fairly slow pace, this episode revealed enough new information to make the overall plot feel a lot clearer. Little by little, the pieces are starting to come together, which makes me even more interested in seeing where the story goes next.
