he's a traitor to Kenny Omega who brought him into AEW. He was also strong armed by Callis who imposed himself on him. He 100% has affiliation with Kenny and was even offered an honorary Elite position on BTE. Kenny supported him early on his aew run too. Now, of course theres storyline reasons that give Takeshita reason to make the choice to join the dark side, such as Danielson saving him and befriending him during the MJF feud (and this was also shown when Takeshita saved Kenny the first time, but NEVER attacked Danielson, only Yuta n co) and also that Kenny didnt seem that interested in Takeshita joining or helping , and was more interested to text someone (more bte lore).I'm confused as to why he's a traitor. He's the antithesis of traitor. He was loyal to his manager and attacked his managers would-be attacker. I mean yeah his manager (in character) is a piece of shit, but he attacked someone with whom he has no affiliation to save the person he is affiliated with.
Takeshita def betrayed Kenny, but Kenny also never made much of an attempt to bring him into the fold (the bucks did, but Kenny ignored all of them being emo). edit: Kenny was also too busy being emo about Hangman
Choosing Callis over doing the right thing is also def a betrayal to the fans who had been cheering Takeshita loudly and been behind him, only for him to willingly align himself with not only BCC but Don Callis (where as before it was a forced relationship by Callis).
Lots of layers to this angle tbh
