Ahh, yeah that makes sense... when I first started HRT I thought some of the stuff I heard he was doing was interesting but I never got caught up in the cult of personality. Well, maybe a little, but I wasn't a very emotionally healthy person and I'm well past that.
Ego is a hell or a drug and it does sound like he has a lot of it.
I'm just imagining the human half doing like a naruto run.
