An example of this was Shun's treatment of Miura who had to use a Zodiarts Switch to get back at Shun. He also dump Miu after Tamae released the video of her trashing the gifts that her fans sent her. He tried to get back together with her but she prefer hanging out with the Kamen Rider Club. Eventually Gentarou manages to convince Shun that he wanted to know the real him and be his friend which Shun confesses that his father didn't care about his happiness or what he wanted to do.

After joining the Kamen Rider Club, Shun has become more humble and tries to atone his past actions. He doesn't like the old him and feels uncomfortable when seeing people acting like the old him. He even apologize to Miura for what he has done. Shun still has feelings for Miu but he realizes that she doesn't see him in that way and prefers Gentarou instead.

One of the quirks about Shun is that he salutes quite often and makes a sound when he does it.
