Aiba did a really nice job with this role. In the behind the scenes he talks about how he has never played such a “hard-boiled” part and that usually his characters are very basic or “standard”. I would agree with that overall. It was nice to see a person who generally has a very playful/silly energy put on the face of someone cool, collected and even a bit evil. This one wasn’t as comedic as the other Engimonos, which is ok, but I tend to prefer the humorous ones. The twist ending was well done though, I definitely didn’t see it coming!
