Good idea. They could have a dynamic like Kenzaki and Tachibana.

Based on the description of how the shiny blue suit reflects Houtarou's personality, yeah, sounds like he'll be pretty similar to Sento. A hyper, boastful, kindhearted smart guy.

Whenever I hear "by chance" in these synopses, I always assume there's something deeper they don't want to spoil yet. For example, Touma claimed Kaenken Rekka "by chance", but he was secretly destined to obtain power.

Even if he is a dunce, well, Gentarou's open mind allowed him to prove Kengo wrong about the Hopping Switch and Ryuuga determined the Best Matches by reading the labels while Sento was overthinking everything. Sometimes idiots are geniuses at common sense.

Also reminds me of Ichinose Hayate, the actor of Koh/Ryusoul Red.
