After reading this and about a day to think about it:
1) The bit where he recognized Rei in uniform either needs some work or some explanation. I'm not 100 percent sure that the "nobody recognizes
them" effect isn't just fanon/dub, but even if that is the case, it's logical and well entrenched in most fans' minds. This could be
explained by him going off of spiritual senses rather than physical, but it needs to be addressed at some point.
2) As pointed out by others, if that fight was caught on camera, your character's ability to go places, do things, and generally have a life is going to be
severely curtailed. You could make a plot point out of this, but it would also make it difficult for him to become further involved with the senshi.
3) Darkwood's main abilities seem to be spiritual awareness and insight into people and situations. Don't make him TOO insightful. Characters who
always know what's going on in the world and in people's heads are usually headed for one of the irritating categories of Mary-Sue-dom.
4) Tengu aren't the only place for ravens in Japanese myth and religion. Amaterasu is sometimes represented as a giant raven, known
as Yata-Garasu.
----------
No, I don't believe the world has gone mad. In order for it to go mad it would need to have been sane at some point.
