I don't really see how Kazuhisa could ever be so incompetent after all this time that a dude who had only moments before entered the board could hurt him. There's simply no way. Even A-Tec alone would be troublesome if Nagisa is correct and Kazuhisa as well wants to get rid of it, so that it wasn't only Yuuji needing the money for corruption. It might not have mattered either way. At the very least he now knows he has absolutely no allies among the board members. But that's probably true for all of them. They'll sacrifice anybody to advance. A-Tec aside, Nagisa would have needed probably years to be able to make shady enough deals, gain favours, or dirty info for blackmail in order to control the board. He was now too naive in his haste with the A-Tec's dismissal looming so close. Of course it won't come to that but Iris will be a part of some scandal or whatever, and the story will end.
I agree about not trusting any of the board members, but I got the impression that the apparent divide in factions and the pressumption of some neutrals who he might convince with some logical and sensible thinking was based mainly upon information given from a board member who seemingly had been helping Nagisa for quite some time now, so I can't fault him for this in particular. It wasn't a new relationship that I saw, unless I misjudged their relationship.

In any case, I think that was going to be the result whether he was getting ahead of himself or not because the issue was A-Tec and he had other motivations, plus timing, and all that, made it a self-fulfilling failure no matter what he did.

So with that said, I'm of the opinion that his biggest personal problem was the confidence he had going ahead and attacking the CEO so boastfully prior to the vote. He should've merely tried to stop the dissolution without trying to cut the CEO's head in the meantime. He took the bait.

I'm curious though, do you think Kazuhisa is well aware of Iris? And that's the real motivation behind him wanting A-Tec gone?
