Aomine also has a short temper and some kind of admiration towards Kuroko even after his "change", as he threatened a Tōō player with physical violence when he badmouthed Kuroko. He came to the conclusion that "The only one who can beat me, is me". He also cast his feelings towards his opponents aside and now views them as weak. He has also become very lazy, only coming to training when he wants to, and slacking off even during practice. He doesn't realize he likes his best friend yet.
