Finding a way around his infection? I would not put it past him. Or he's just faking someone out with the threat of mutating himself, who knows.

I think you're close.

Kaito, being Kaito, wouldn't want to slowly become an Invess. He'd consider that a weakness. So maybe, just maybe, he decides to eat the fruit and speed up the process. Making it his decision.

Maybe he considers eating it but doesn’t do it. He would consider it weakness to take the easy route and he rather fights until the end.

I personally see Kaito becoming an Overlord, that would be kind of cool.

He can't beat Duke, so he goes for the other option.

If I remeber correctly, the scratches of an invess make you into a lockseed tree, not turn you into another invess (or at least vines like those that grow lockseeds sprout out of you.

I like the jagged frontal cloth they gave him, rather than his normal round one.

I like the Kiwi head on this as it makes him look more like Reduye.

Does'nt anybody notice the "yellow" kachidoki lock at the side?

Oh man, I'm already hoping for Kachidoki Banana so badly...

What are you talking about? That's Duke fighting Baron, who is in Banana Arms...and losing.
