In this duel dense, plot lacking Xyz Arc, I personally think Aster/Edo has been mishandled to the point where they shouldn't have even made him the one to cameo from GX. First off, I liked Edo from GX. He was powerful and professional but was never a chummy, buddy guy with Jaden/Judai and the gang. This Edo is different and that's why they made a mistake giving him the title of Commander-In-Chief. He doesn't deserve it.
1) Edo's deck does nothing to combat Pendulum Summons/Special Summons: If you are the Commander-In-Chief of the Fusion Dimension, you should have loads of Fusion monsters at your disposal to unleash on your enemies. This goes back to the Xyz arc being rushed and maybe Edo not having enough time, but all we see is one D-Hero fusion so far as of Episode 111. More importantly, his deck does nothing to counter the strategies of his rivals, the Lancers. The Tyler sisters happened to mention that they knew they were facing the Lancers so they had a strategy in place that would counteract the SS of the Lancers. Edo just uses good old D-Heroes with stat attack and a little burn. His monsters should've shut down SS as well. Barrett's cards do it albiet in an OP unappealing way. Even the Obelisk mooks had a trap card that only forced Fusion monsters to be played. Now is it dumb to expect D-Hero to specifically focus on beating Pendulums. Of course. But they should have some kind of SS shut down ability, especially since the opposition SS at a rate that's never been seen. This mishandling leads to flaws in Edo's power and status in my opinion. He doesn't come across as the ominous threat that a Commander-In-Chief should have.
2) Edo might join the Egao cult: If you're the Commander-In-Chief of the Academia army, you should be so twisted and evil that the ways of Egao should never move you. But now there is a possibility that Edo may help the Yuya and the Lancers in their fight against Academia as shown in the preview of Episode 112. I have no problem with Edo the character joining the Egao side. I have a problem with him being the Commander-In-Chief of the Fusion Dimension and then joining the smiles side.
Edo may do a heel turn and screw the Lancers later which would redeem him in my eyes but I doubt it. And there may be other Commander-In-Chiefs in the Academia army, as it was mentioned that Edo was the CC of the Xyz wing. But with a proposed limit of only bringing 2 characters back from each of the previous series, it's unlikely that Zane/Kaiser returns as the actual badass CC.
And my post is overplayed if you think I'm putting too much emphasis on the title of Commander-In-Chief. But forgive me for thinking that someone with that title isn't as sinister as Yuri or Leo Akaba. Basically characters like Kaiser or star pupil Yuri should be given such titles.
