>>44448098I have a theory: he legitimately is Red. He got isekaid to our world and that's why he has such difficulty talking to others. He went from a silent person who spoke in whatever language is spoken in Kanto, to having to speak English suddenly and out of nowhere. He's still learning the language and gets easily frustrated because he's alone, Leaf really was his lover but she's still there while he got forcibly sent here. He misses her and doesn't know how to communicate with her, so as a way to cope he started fantasizing about her and seeing her everywhere. He gets angry so easily because he knows he's not lying.
It all makes to much sense.
