I think you need to get your eyes checked if you're getting him confused with the other characters or at least pay closer attention to what's going on in the scenes. However, I've read ahead in the novel and...
**SPOILERS**
If it makes you feel better, he still goes to war later and gets scarred/wounded in this timeline too.
You need to calm down
His character design before was more unique and stood out with long hair and scar but after time reversal it's so basic and boring.
Sometimes I cannot even differentiate him with side characters if his name is not mentioned like during the scene when they were talking about war and I was like why is this side character talking so much?
They should have kept the original design and showed how he is thriving like the plot seems quite abelist imo
