I fucking applaud this author's way of telling what happened through visuals alone. No one had to commentate what happened with the Ogata diversion tactic, unlike most shonen manga. One can easily tell that he was paid by coins to get the gun from a single panel alone.
Weird he got recognized from a casting role where his identity wasn't really shown to the TV audience. She most likely got that info from the producer or I'm just thinking too much of it.
