One could argue all the personalities of Mike were separate "souls" given being distinct and portrayed as different, also being intelligent or planning out isn't heard of MoE which is why some don't feel he qualifies besides the items are shown capable of giving the darker side separate souls but they are still just the representation of the darker aspects/traits like with the dub Imitator of Death / Ghost of Kaiba. The "ghost" is shown nothing but an vengeful entity born literally from when Yami Yugi "mind crushed" Kaiba then given form by Pegasus. While I agree we will not agree I am explaining why "just being clever or intelligent" doesn't mean actual Agency along with how the show bare minimum showing having a mere soul in this series doesn't mean Agency merely that it shows recognization they are separate personalities. Him being described as the literal embodiment and portrayed as such even by others. I'll agree to disagree with you, Austin though looks like he'll be staying so far.
