Paladin: the other quote reflects something that I had not really touched on in this update - his incredible degree of stubborn determination that is part of his warrior heritage. Only Tohoin Ikuto really rivals him in this regard. I'll work on getting this squeezed in there later.
Necratoid: Correct about the Parker Lewis bit. Striving for the sort of perfection that Parker and his friends seemed to have would be something that can be revealed later in the story when we have just Kubiac and a couple others around talking about stuff... the subject of Zeke comes up and Kubiac grudgingly tells about his good friend and why he is even friends with someone who tends to be so abrasive.
And his seeming so odd to the Japanese... piece of cake. It's not difficult at all to be out of place in Japan. Zeke will have people giving him cross-eyed looks when he forgets to set his 'social localization' to Japanese. Hell, I've done it more than a few times myself.
