This guy's just there, and I don't find him nearly as appealing as either one of his weirdo underlings. There's more to him this time (I was pretty dialed in when he theatrically declared war on all of humanity to Fuwa's sputtering face), but I don't feel like the actor has figured out a way in to this guy yet in-person. Does an okay job on VO, though!

I wouldn't compare Horobi to Kuroto. Without going too deeply into spoilers, trust me when I say that the show will tell you when to start comparing a character to Kuroto.
