I can see Blades be like that yes. IIRC there is some kind of gimmick about him that he can't resist food or something.
His name, Shindo Rintaro, is made with some "serious" kanjis meaning "new temple" or "ethics/morality" but also a silly one like "fat" (food addiction).

So he'll probably be that serious face dude (like "the mission/training/loyalty above everything" kind of speech) with one particular silly gimmick (can't resist food).

Sweets to be specific, and the press material suggests Touma is gonna use it to his advantage.

Touma: Hey Rintaro, teach me how to get super good with this swordplay stuff.
Rintaro: One does not simply get "super good" by a few sparring sessions. It takes years of practice and discipline.
Touma: *points to a giant wedding cake and a truck full of chocolate and candy* How about now.
Rintaro: Welcome to DO-OR-DIE SWORDFIGHTING 101.
