He's a delusional psycho who will attack anyone he deems a bad guy, and believes he's a hero who everyone aspires to be. Second, we do know what direction this would go in. If you have any prior knowledge of Burst certain stuff gets predictable. The introductions of more bladers will be more tests for him to uphold his delusions, it's as simple as that.
That's what you infer from it but that's not a concrete conclusion. He hasn't done anything indicating malicious intent. In addition unless we have the outline for what is coming next we can't state with absolute certainty what direction they're going to take with every detail. Especially with a character like Rashad who is straying from the norm. So it's really not that simple. You can have a character be a antagonist without them being an outright villain. We've seen this in Burst before with Lui.

And you'd be right. In both Sparking and DB Valt was stated to be the strongest in the world. Shu is close to him in power though. Even in the Turbo manga Shu mentioned that he couldn't replicate Valt's level of power.
You just genuinely don't understand the story at this point.
de·lu·sion·al
/dəˈlo͞oZH(ə)nəl/
adjective
- characterized by or holding idiosyncratic beliefs or impressions that are contradicted by reality or rational argument, typically as a symptom of mental disorder.
He says he is the hope of the blading world and that every blader wants to be liek him. This is false. How would he know that every single person blading wants to be like him. Even if he went to every single person, some people have other goals, like being Bey trainers.
He picks and chooses who he wants to be a bag guy. a Purse snatcher is not on the level of some random obstacle course, and you don't need to deliver pain to every single person you deem a bag guy. This is why we have a justice system that is built at it's core to reform criminals. Simply punishing them with pain doesn't make them actually change as a person.
psy·cho·path
/ˈsīkəˌpaTH/
noun
- a person suffering from chronic mental disorder with abnormal or violent social behavior.
His behavior has shown above, does not come from a place of logic or reasoning. He's let the power get to his head and thinks he's some sort of god that governs over the blading world. He also has violent behavior, as I also commented on. Purse Snatcher do not need to be punched in the face. This wasn't a slap, the person was launched off their back. In a worse case scenario, the person breaks their spine from the fall and dies. Flying off a vehicle no joke, and Rashad was casually dealing that to a low level criminal like he deserved it.
