I.. think it's cuz they're trying to circle back in the beginning of Hiromi's character where he felt that Daiji turning into Evil (get it?) was his responsibility and thus had to be the one to stop him.

Thing is, we don't really get to have scenes of Daiji and Hiromi actually interacting together, the best I can recall is when Hiromi confided in Daiji about his past and Daiji just blew him off, which is uh.... Not great.

Had Daiji been the one to initiate the duel in the first place and also maybe frame it as actually being an inherently bad thing would have made me lenient towards this arc.

Speaking of this arc and Evilyty Live as well. The production notes state that the form wasn't planned at all and Daiji's arc originally was supposed to end right at that duel.

While I personally think ending it there and the rest just building Daiji's character and his relationships with the cast would be great, I'm not sure if it can even be handled if I personally think they didn't handle this current one we have either. So, I guess Daiji was just destined to be a very 'meh' character.
