Extraverted Thinking (Te)
Eisuke is a very smart and intellectual businessman and a highly skilled leader. He is very good at structuring and organizing his environment, distributing tasks among the bidders and leading them as a group. He highly values punctuality, organization of his working environment and always has a need to be in charge. When calling the MC to the penthouse, he always gives her a certain amount of time to reach him; “I gave you five minutes, you almost made it in five minutes and forty-five”, that is definitely Eisuke might say. He is very punctual, also in regard to his own actions. He has little patience of unproductive activities and is often seen bored or pissed at the parties, however, only if it does not benefit him. If it does, Eisuke might puts the sweetest “business” smile on his face and endures whatever that is for the purpose of productivity and the benefit of his business. He has a constant need of being in charge and he expects everyone to obey his orders. Once he had said something, it has to be done! His dominance is very prominent, whether it’s on his work or in a relationship. He orders and commands the mc on a regular basis and handles all of the big decisions among the bidders.
Eisuke knows how to separate the objectivity from his emotions and does not let his nor others sentiments cloud his judgement. His decisions are always made on the most reasonable logic of the situation. Upon realizing that his association with the mc might endanger her, he breaks up with her in the most blunt and cruel way, without any explanation, because that’s what has to be done regardless of their emotions; he unsentimentally rejects the invitation of his long-lost sister, whom he had been searching all of his life, to prevent her from being the target of his enemies; he drags the mc home from Dubai to Japan without explanations; he threatened his relationship with the mc when he was about to meet the Masked Man. All of these actions were taken by Eisuke in order to protect those he loves and cares about, though he wasn’t anywhere near kindess or niceness while doing this. He usually avoids explanations of such actions, because he knows that these actions must be taken regardless of other emotional opinions. It is said about Eisuke, that he does not do anything without a good reason, then it does not matter whether this reason hurts other in the process.
Introverted Intuition (Ni)
Eisuke is very good at visualizing what will happen next through the interpretation of other’s actions. In fact, he has a tendency to predict what would happen next; he is very good at calculating the motives of other’s and then acts according to that. He always knows what the other wants and delivers accordingly to fulfill his own purpose. He has a highly skilled ability of manipulation. He deceptively makes Carolina, the daughter of an Italian mob who was obsessed with him, fall in love with Soryu instead. Neither Soryu nor Carolina could know what he was thinking behind the cool and “helping” demeanor. In fact, no one could tell that Eisuke deliberately brought Soryu into the matter to make Carolina fall in love with him. He calculates that the owner of Nikadio Holdings, Akira Nikadio, would do something as ridiculous as kidnapping the mc to do blackmail him for business purpose. Eisuke had already realized this and first and foremost, he breaks up with the mc. Then, he had his bidders ready to take Nikadio down with a well-planned strategy. Eisuke knows exactly how to manipulate other’s for his own gain; he is very good at predicting their moves and motives and highly relies on his intuition when taking a decision. However, there are no clues or evidence to suggest the authenticity of his theories; it might as well be his personal interpretations of the a situation or person. That is the most probable reason for why Eisuke never explains his actions to others. The truth is, there might as well be no explanation at all. Eisuke’s trusting and following his gut feeling a feeling that cannot be put into words.
As a very successful businessman, Eisuke is very good at seeing the “big picture” implications and strategies for his business. In general, he is a very strategical person who plans these strategies beforehand any action. Combined with these, he always has a well-defined futuristic vision. There’s always something more Eisuke wants. He is always trying to reach greater heights and build something new. At times, even something out other than ordinary. In other words, Eisuke does not relaxes if his business is running smoothly, but rather plans the next few of his investments. So, Eisuke does not only uses his introverted intuition to predict the outcome, calculate motives and develop theories, but also has a large vision for the future. He his goals that are expected to be fulfilled; and since Ni is his auxiliary function, his intuition plays a moderately huge role in his deals and other business with people.
Eisuke is very quick in his actions. He knows exactly when, what and how he wants it - which is partially due to his observation with his surroundings. As a result, he becomes very unpredictable. One would never know what Eisuke is thinking, interpreting or planning, and his actions usually comes out as a surprise. He is simply a man you cannot predict. Moreover, Eisuke gets easily bored. He constantly needs something that can keep him going on, and usually, these things require some sort of physical connection to the world. He does want a dull moment with his life, and in return, he does let a moment of your life be dull. The mc surely knows what kind of a roller-coaster Eisuke is; and due to his Se, he wants his world to be similarly exciting and “roller-coasting”. He craves new experiences and unpredictable things. For example, he easily gets excited if the mc tries to be the dom in their relationship. That is something out of ordinary, but keeps him satisfied because he is presented something new and exciting. Also, if taking his methods of romance into consideration, he likes to experience different ways of intimacy. It is usually said about him, that he could “do it” anywhere, from bedroom to a balcony to a closet. He asks the mc to pick a location for his new branch of Tres Spades while blindfolded, and as a result, he builds a hotel on top of the ocean in Dubai. In short, Eisuke does not like boredom and is rather fond of different ways of excitement.
Since he has extraverted sensing as his tertiary function, it primarily supports his Ni. To be able to perceive anything with intuition, one would need some sort of fundamentals to begin with. That is also where Eisuke’s Se comes into the play. We have established that Eisuke uses his Ni and Te to make most of his decisions, but the Ni alone cannot be the only source of his decision-making. Eisuke’s Ni is highly supported by his Se, since these are his auxiliary and tertiary functions. The fundamentals of Eisuke’s decisions are based on his Se. He is very quick to understand what is going on, to perceive his surroundings and the intentions of other’s; also, he’s very quick to react and very much physically in touch with the world.
Despite being a highly talented businessman, Eisuke has none of his talents when it comes to his feelings and relationships. That justifies why he has feeling as an inferior function. However, what reflects his introverted feeling is his way of expressing these emotions. He simply does not understand the means of putting words to these feelings, or moreover, is most probably clueless when it comes to his partners emotional needs. It is almost shocking how much of a general knowledge and common sense Eisuke lacks when it comes to emotional situations. The mc complains that Eisuke does not tell her “I love you”, but Eisuke’s only respond is, that why else would he have her as his girlfriend. In other words, he sees no point in verbalizing his love for someone. He does, however, tells her what she needed to hear, but afterwards is surprised at why a few lines were making her this happy. He is absolutely clueless. He expects the mc to know that he loves her, because exactly, why else would he be wasting his time? It is the logical conclusion of his situation according to him, and that is as well the point of view he has for the world. Eisuke spent all of his life to find his sister, that is also the primary reason of why he started the black market auctions. But when his sister is finally found and writes him a letter, he is reluctant to respond. He lacks the awareness to write a warm letter to a family member.
That is, however, not the only emotional issue with Eisuke. Whilst not understanding the emotions of others, he also lacks the ability to understand his own emotions. That can be particularly seen if you play his POV: He might be thinking something else, but the words he put into the emotions are from another end of the spectrum. He cannot directly verbalize an emotion he is feeling, but instead, find ridiculous word games or an almost hurtful sentence to express how much he loves someone. Upon confessing his feelings to the mc; he says “you’re the only one who can satisfy me” instead of simply telling her that he loves her.
