Ran is naturally whimsical toward others which makes him inscrutable; he is also independent in his own right and only holds regard for his younger brother who he used to govern the district of Roppongi with, other than Izana Kurokawa and Kakucho who he once served under in Tenjiku. This shows the limitations of Ran’s obedience and respect. Ran’s limited circle of whom he trusts and holds a respect for is also the cause of his apathy toward others when he involves himself in battle.
