Eh, the only LoT hero I liked was Jackson and that's because he reminds me of JP from Digimon Frontier. Marina and Kenta were horribly annoying, and Eusine was...well, he's not Eusine, dammit!

Bashou seems pretty evil to me. Even the Marauder didn't have his pokemon attack the opponent directly rather than dealing with their pokemon instead. But most of it was how he approached things with a layer of pure ice, even dealings with his partner. And we know from their interaction that they get along quite well, so for him to act that removed from someone he's close with is quite odd.
