It's an awful attempt to fit even more comedy into a show which had initially found its balance with seriousness and comedic belief, but has since been way too obnoxious with all the random stuff it pushes into my face. And furthermore it kinda ruins Gentoku as a character for me which I'm not okay with.

When the show started and we got that "Henshin Lesson - Night Rogue" short video, it was implied that Gentoku's true personality was a funny one, but forced himself to be dead dark and serious.

Granted it should have been seen in the show waaaaaay before now to make it relevant and not weird. But it's not coming out of nowhere and was intended from the start.

They had this idea as far as October. Fact.

Yeah Gentoku's supposed to be more relaxed as we know that he likes karaoke, eating strawberry sundaes and as seen in the first episode, he hit on Sawa. Saying it doesn't fit Gentoku is false.

The jokes they’re making in this short are meta, in the sense that they're filming an infomercial of sorts, and the humor Gentoku uses is way different form his current personality. In fact, he isn't using any humor at all, he's just making devilish faces really close to the camera and the comedy comes from the cameramen interrupting him.

How any of this is an explanation or hint at Gentoku originally being a fashion fanatic with a lighthearted personality is beyond me.



Liking karaoke, eating sweets (please remind me when this happened by the way, I don't remember it) and hitting on a woman in a really evil and creepy fashion isn't explaining this:
