To be fair, I think that's the point.


It's pretty much implied (though not very well) that the reason Takumi can be such a loner is because he's intentionally pushing people away. Him questioning whether Orphenochs are all evil is a question that also extends to himself personally and something he struggles with because if they ARE all evil, then that means he's also evil. What he sees in Yuka and Yuji are Orphenochs that can live in peace with humanity. It comes to a head later on in another episode when Smart Brain convinces Takumi that he was behind the massacre at the school that Kusaka and Mari were apart of.

I see what they were going for, but it doesn't necessarily work well because IIRC, it was never stated that Orphenochs suffer from a lack of control, like what we see in Amazons. Perhaps it's supposed to be implied with all of the violent fits of rage we see from Yuji's group that Orphenochs are naturally violent, but meh.
