without hesitation jumping in to whale on other boys who appear to be his age or older
being very patient and game with mikey (mokuba-adjacent in age and appearance)
when hacking into kaibacorp, rebecca quips that he should give her a job, and he says "yeah i'll consider it"
losing his shit when zorc kills those two kids
while still generally being rude, dismissive, aloof, or standoffish to everyone his age or older.*
it's really easy to say "he just likes mokuba," and equally easy to say "he likes kids;" but it's more tempting, more interesting, adds some depth and a bit of a tweest if we read it a little differently: he's a bit more naive in his thinking and subconsciously divides the world into two flavors of people: everyone younger than him is a sweet baby to be indulged and protected; everyone his age and older (the adults, ANY adults) is suspect, possibly ill-meaning, not to be trusted. children good, adults bad, he is the line between them.
and when i say "naive," i mean this: when mokuba grow up to become a fully-realized adult and is behaving like a fully-realized adult, it may rattle seto and cause friction in the relationship when he is forced to confront the reality that his little baby brother who has always clung to him for protection and comfort is now a fully-realized adult, and the relationship has to change.
*noa is an exceptional case; his appearance is younger but he is the same age as seto. and also he kidnapped mokuba and did all that other stuff so of course seto's big mad
