In the past, like Bill, Aoba shared the belief that inevitably when you reach adulthood you will have to eat meat to satiate your instincts and become a full-fledged carnivore, however, having the opportunity to eat meat for the first time did not He was able to do so since he remembered his herbivorous classmates and fled, retracting and abandoning this belief, Aoba momentarily obtained a slight petty posture towards Bill, who did eat meat, but seeing how he did not feel better about himself after In doing so, Aoba acts more empathetic with him and becomes more sympathetic towards meat-eating carnivores in order to function in society.

Trivia

 * Aoba is one of the only carnivores, besides Legosi, to not eat a finger in the Black Market. The rest of his friends presumably did, but Aoba ran off.
 * Aoba's wings/arms are shown to be white like the top of his head. In real life, bald eagles are entirely brown, save for their head and tail feathers.
