Shuro being known as "Shuro" when his name is "Toshiro" is a funny haha "white boy misheard his name and told everybody" joke, but it is also a character study of everything going wrong with Toshiro himself. Sure, Laios misheard his name and told everybody, but Laios is a kind person who cares about his impact on his friends. If Toshiro had EVER ONCE corrected him, Laios would have changed his behavior, and told everyone he'd fucked up, and laughed at himself for making the mistake. Shuro being so paralyzed by social etiquette that he can't even correct Laios about HIS OWN NAME (paralysis that comes from his culture, upbringing, and his own autism, as Laios himself has not given him any reason to feel this way) is foreshadowing and commentary on their entire dynamic and conflict.
