It doesn't immediately change anything we've learned about Hayato, he's still the original traitor, so now we need to find out why is Kamijo continuing to wage this war against SOL in his place. I appreciate how they got this twist done early, so they can move the mystery from the transparent "who" to the more obscure "why".

Yeah, it's a lot more compelling to me to learn how the guy we saw fighting Calibur 15 years ago is now Calibur. Also, I just... I just really love that Kento was like My Dad Didn't Betray The Sword Of Logos and then Calibur -- who is not taking any questions at this time -- is like LOL NOPE. It's such a fun reversal on what you think is going to be the redemption of Kento's dad's legacy, and then the villain is like No That Dude Sucked Too.

It's just a really good gag, you guys.
