Alright hold up. So the guy we thought is a bad guy isn't actually a real bad guy? Was the bad guy stuff just a red herring and he is truly trying to protect Miyo while she goes through her awakening? Or is he trying to steal her from Kudo to take her latent abilities? Is he maybe a part of Miyo's mother's family? I was fully onboard for hating this guy until the bit with the tree, but now I'm not sure of his intentions.
Also I loved the whole sequence with the older Tatsuishi brother trying to heal the guy, Kudo fighting, and Miyo having her nightmare. The way they linked all 3 was really well done. I can't wait to find out more about what's going on.
I was also on board for hating the guy, but my best guess is in line with yours in that he is probably affiliated in some way with the Usuba family (Miyo's mother's family). They spent some extra time in this episode to reiterate the importance and secretiveness of the family, likely foreshadowing his character. This, in addition with his standing in front of a cherry tree that looks suspiciously like Miyo's mother's tree seals it for me.
I still think he's a villain, just not in the same way as the last arc, he'll be more of a "doing this for your own good" kinda villain who won't respect Miyo's agency in the direction of her life, or at least that's what I am expecting.
