He became one due to Homophobia, Conversion therapy (On February 4, 2020) and being kidnapped and blackmailed by Emma Anderson and Ferdinand Devlin (On the day Emma murdered Facundo Estevez).
 
The special was confirmed by Daniel on February 2022 and he had revealed the plot. He said the following
 
"Daniel and Ian feel worried for Gustav to know that he did it that way, not only because he was a victim of Emma and Ferdinand, but because of his past. Bulma builds a time machine to travel to Gustav's past, but upon learning that Gustav was a victim of his father's homophobia; It was in June 2013 where Gustav had his first boyfriend named Abraham, it was then Gustav became very happy secretly dating his first love so that his father would not notice, but his happiness would end everything completely when his father he became aware of his son's relationship.
 
Marcus was so enraged that he instituted dehomosexualization therapy to 'cure' homosexuality in Russia (at that time the Russian law against homosexual propaganda was enforced by Vladimir Putin in 2013). Since Gustav was hospitalized, the evil grew over the years and he came out of therapy in 2021, he was also kidnapped by Emma and Ferdinand to blackmail him and turn him into a new troublemaker. Bulma was shocked to find out Gustav's secret origins and the reason why he became a bad man thanks to his father and his political fanaticism towards Putin.
