By his own admission, he didn't put a lot of effort in and just enjoyed the game, but a natural talent meant he ended up in national tournaments with potential Cambridge University students.

However, he adopted an arrogant persona and wore his designer JoJo's Bizarre Adventure suit, marking his switch from 'plucky protagonist energy' to 'arrogant prodigy rival energy'. He lost in the final to Garnt, who better embodied the 'plucky protagonist' archetype by that point.
