But while Kurosaki specifically preys on frauds, Shiraishi preys on large corporations which he views as "rotten", regardless of whether or not they engage in monetary fraud. Both are also DrivenToVillainy thanks to a DarkAndTroubledPast: Kurosaki lost his family after his father was swindled and committed PaterFamilicide; Shiraishi lost his mother to an accident thanks to a faulty apartment building, and his father became the scapegoat to the incident since he worked for the company that built it and had been forced to convince the residents to move into the faulty building when the company wanted to repurpose their old one.

* HiddenHeartOfGold: Part of what influences Kuro to help people out. He's called on this in both versions. In the live action, Tsurara points out that if he was really just after revenge alone, he wouldn't do anything for the victims as he does. In the manga, he slips up at one point and says that he didn't want to help someone out due to the type of person they are, only for it to be pointed out by Katsuragi that he always claims he doesn't care about the clients. Upon it being pointed out, he shows a flicker of anger. Before leaving, he coldly repeats that he doesn't care who they are as a reminder.
