When acting his usual self, Kugura tend to be open-minded with his emotions on what he's feeling or reacting in a lightest or dreadful moos, unlike many of the Shinshou who either refused to let out their inner emotions to preserve their modesty or genuinely exaggerated like Kannagi who tended to act arrogant and hot-tempered.
