Second, I feel like we see Takumi be a dismissive asshole to the Ryusei School alumni in both of these episodes, so the Kimura stuff even feels like a bit of a retread of that.

Yeah, I see what you're saying, but I'm not sure it's terribly effective by those standards.

It's not perfect, for sure! I will add that the key difference with Takumi's abrasive attitude towards the Ryuusei School guys is that those guys are jerks back. The fact that's it's a mutual feeling makes it less easy to process that Takumi is being a jerk there. I mean, most viewers are probably going to be very supportive when he decides to blow that entire plotline off. When he's telling some random nice girl to shut up just because she's being slightly nosy, it actually makes him look bad to a level I don't think he has in a good while. "Weightless and incidental", though? Yeah, maybe. I don't know. I do agree that Kimura's personality is rather dull, especially by the standards of this show.
