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.Wait Didnt he not tell/encourage basara to throw away solomon? He had a sorta resentful side after he lost to valt and didnt show those feelings until after he was away. Even the manga poster shows rashad with this evil look and aura around him. Hes even placed at the bottom of everyone with this look like hes hiding his true colors. Im just going off of what I saw via manga and anime
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.
He told Basara to throw away Solomon because he didn't believe Basara could get stronger with it. That's not really malicious or self serving. Rashad doesn't gain any advantage from that or anything. I'd say that comes from Rashad's mistaken ideas about strength.
After he lost to Valt he wasn't resentful, he simply acknowledged that Valt really is amazing and that he wants to be become as powerful as him and then surpass him (I recommend watching the subs if possible they clear a lot of things up)
I didn't get that vibe from the poster really. But not everything receives everything in the same way. But just based on what we've actually seen him do and have heard him say, he hasn't done anything malicious or evil. I'm not saying he won't go that route I'm just saying we don't have any concrete indications of it. We really do need to just wait and see.
