Honestly now I feel bad because Shizuo and Takasugi look like they could have chill CR when Takasugi is exactly the kind of person that could make Shizuo flip easily. HAHAHAHA. AH WELL, THE NIGHT IS YOUNG, WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
Since the game itself is kind of leading him in a little more mundane way, I think you need to flip things and actually look for situations that will make him snap now. It is an intrinsic part of his character and it needs to be showcased just as much as his "I just want the bartender life, leave me alone" desires. He's not a normal guy, so there needs to be some kind of tension between those two sides. Obviously having him wig out on everyone isn't any good, but there are plenty of IC warnings that can let the other character/player know he's getting hotheaded if they don't want to play that out (snapping cigarette/clenched fists+teeth, etc). Making it happen in one tag would just be rude and sudden, but I think you're a capable enough player to parse this out well.
