Forgive me!!!

From the beginning I imagined him as a counterpart to Hijikata. I made everything I could to make that clear lol. One has a selfish kit, the other a selfless one. One is a down-to-earth pragmatic man, the other a happy-go-lucky dreamy goofball. One is a good wife, the other a good father. Even their NP are similar yet different, and I played the two aspects of Kondou's fatherly figure with it: the proud dad who wants to show his children to the world and cheer for them, but also the responsible dad who would take the blame to save them.

About his 3rd skill now, it's funny because at first he wasn't supposed to give stars at all, and I settled with that because I needed an icon that encompasses ALL star-related buffs, and I didn't want to confuse people by putting the neutral star icon without having the effect for it in the skill itself lol. If you think 10 wouldn't make it too good of a headstart, I guess I can do that^^.
