。『☆彡Midori / Sou Hiyori☆彡』。

Sou and Shin met at high school and quickly became friends. Though, later on, Shin found out that Midori hadn't even been a student at his school. Shin often found himself getting restless, scared, and anxious to the point of sweating if he looked into Sou's eyes. Sou was aware of the uneasiness he induced in Shin but derived enjoyment from it. In turn, Shin was aware of Sou's enjoyment in making him uncomfortable. Shin tells Sara that while he still considered him a friend, he was also scared of him, and would have been relieved to hear he had died before telling Sara that maybe a chipper person like she wouldn't understand the feeling.

Midori keeps a diary log of Shin's AI in the form of a poem and appears possessive of him. Midori feels betrayed by AI Shin when he sides with the participants and punishes him by "killing him" in the monitor room, later putting him into Maple's body.

During the Banquet Midori speculates about if the AI ​​was working behind his back to help the participants by telling Keiji about how the Banquet works.[1]

In Shin's own First Trial, the fact that "Shin Tsukimi" is doomed for certain death makes Shin's peaceful personality collapse and break. He then adopts a personality similar to Midori. However, there are some noticeable differences as Shin tends to be more quiet and withdrawn.

On the route where Kanna is alive, Midori remarks to her that since Shin was going to die anyway, he wanted to kill Shin with his own hands. When the others are reasonably shocked by this statement, he brushes it off, stating that the others don't understand his affection for Shin.

An attempt to name Midori after an already-established character will result in him refusing the name. Exceptions include Mishima, Shin, and those who died in the First Trial. An attempt to give Midori a forbidden name during the recap sequence from the Chapters menu will yield the response "No... Surely that wasn't it.", regardless of the forbidden name chosen. Refusing the name Chidouin, Midori uses the word Mukoyōshi (婿養子, Mukoyōshi?, lit. "adopted son-in-law"), which describes an adult man who is adopted into a Japanese family as a daughter's husband, and who takes the family's surname.[5] In other words, he jokes about not wanting to marry Sara.

The kanji that makes up his first name is 颯, sou?, lit. "suddenly; smoothly". This can potentially contrast with Shin's first name since Sou is an anagram of "uso", which means "lie", and "shin" means "truth; genuineness". The kanji that make up his last name are 日, hi?, lit. "sun" and 和, yori?, lit. "harmony". It can also be read as 日和, hiyori?, lit. "weather". The first kanji, 日, hi?, lit. "sun" contrasts with the first kanji of Shin Tsukimi's last name, 月, tsuki?, lit. "moon". Midori prefers water to tea or coffee.[6] Midori might have liked drinking it warm, as selecting hot water from a drink machine will trigger a negative response from Sou.[7] Despite giving his name to Sou Hiyori, Midori keeps calling him Shin. In Kai's mini-episode, a mysterious figure appears that resembles Midori with long hair and breasts. It is speculated to be Midori's mother. Midori has a voice actor in a promo for chapter 3-1A.[8] Midori's favorite number is 0.[9] When nervous, Midori has a habit of grabbing his shoulder to stop himself from shaking.[10] Midori and Shin are the only characters shown to be able to remove their collars. Nankidai came up with Midori's design after creating some of the Dummies.[11]

Midori is next seen dragging Maple's corpse away, giving an ominous promise to bring her back. In reality, Midori grotesquely mutilates Maple and programs her to attack the group. In case Kanna is alive, Midori will reveal her information about Shin being her biological brother before presenting renewed Maple while if Sou is alive instead, Midori will present Maple 2.0 in the heat of the moment of Ranmaru's betrayal.In the end, she goes against her programming and decides to kill Midori and die with him instead.

It terrifies Midori, thus exposing his weakness to the group. The banquet begins. Midori uses various ways of deception to trick the group, even betraying and killing Hinako who traded coffins with him, but in the end he gets outsmarted by Q-taro and Keiji. As he gets drilled alive inside the coffin, a terrified Midori admits that he could never imagine that dying would be this scary.

Midori grabs Sara by her neck, and Sara tries to fight back, asking him to bring back everyone (mentioning Joe in the Kanna Lives Route) specifically talking about Nao and Kai, the people whose names weren't on the list and weren't connected to anything. Midori tells Sara that she has gotten too kind, telling her to go back to who she was in the simulations. Ranmaru tackles Midori off Sara causing Midori to ask if he is going to kill him, even knowing that would mean his death too, Ranmaru still affirms his stance calling him human garbage and telling him outright he will kill him. Midori then asks if he is going to drag Sara down with him, too, before activating the Tag function on his collar. He says that he has to touch someone, or else he is going to die. Midori runs off yelling that he will make Ranmaru disappear too, for Sara's sake, and asks them to give him a good show.

As the group finds a recharging station to try and save Ranmaru, Midori appears to explain the rules of the game, using Kanna/Sou and Hinako as an example. After a brief explanation, Midori goes away. After that, Midori is seen waiting for them in the elevator. He tells Sara to take a ride with him and will threaten to kill Keiji if she refuses. Midori giggles the whole way down as he stars at Sara.

As the participants arrive they realize that Keiji's coffin has begun its cremation, after trying and failing to open the coffin, Midori arrives telling Sara she still has time to save him if she just signs the form, and in a moment of desperation Sara finally signs it, much to Midori's glee. Midori then points a remote at the coffin however as it turns out the coffin was melted by the heat and the lid fused with the coffin making it physically impossible to open.Midori is next seen dragging Maple's corpse away, giving an ominous promise to bring her back.

Ranmaru in the classroom. As Sara tries to leave Midori steps in and expresses disappointment in Sara for not "waking up". He mocks Sara for all the chaos the consent form caused, telling her that he made everyone sign the form to participate in the Death Game, so he wouldn't accept a wish like "put an end to it", however, he tells Sara that he would be fine granting a wish which gives her an advantage. Sara asks Midori why she is present despite never signing the form, and Midori implies that someone might have wished her in.

MidoriVSsara2 Midori is fascinated with Sara's vicious nature in AI trainings. Midori decides to change the topic, he says that it's a shame he didn't get to see the awakening of the "ultimate Sara Chidouin" and mentions his mistake was allowing Joe to take part in the Death Game. He continues by claiming he was opposed to the "balancing" from the start and asks Sara what she thought the Four Papers she has been for. He tells her that the Death Game must be a holy event, and as such, everyone needed to have a fair chance, as a result, some of the weaker participants were given helpers as handicaps, people like Kugie and Nao. Sara wonders why she got a helper if her win rate was already the highest, and Midori explains that with Joe Sara is weaker. In the simulations where Joe wasn't present Sara's survival instinct was stronger than anything else and would use any means to survive. She would even use the deaths of others to her advantage. After killing others she would shed tears and tug at everyone's heartstrings, despite no intention of self-sacrifice.Midori then asks Sara if Joe did a good job dragging her down. If Kanna survived, Sara would ask if he is saying Joe died for a reason like this before rushing at Midori, trying to kill him. If Sou survived, instead of mentioning Joe by name, she'll ask if her best friend was killed for such a reason, before likewise rushing at him, claiming it's unforgivable instead. Either way, Midori grabs

Midori appears just before the group makes to leave the Doll Graveyard and resume searching, claiming that the game of tag is over. Midori taunts Keiji, tossing him a gun which causes Keiji to flashback to his past trauma. Midori reveals that he was the one who tricked Keiji into shooting the latter's idol. Keiji furiously declares he'll kill Midori, and a fight between the two ensues. The human participants attempt to help Keiji attack or tag Midori, while Hinako and Kurumada side with him out of fear of what will happen to the Dummies if Midori dies. This fact also leads the rest of the dummies to be scared into inaction. Midori manages to trap Keiji Eventually in his coffin and set on a timer to cremate Keiji alive. Midori tells Sara that she can save Keiji only if she signs a consent form, which is only missing hers. Chapter 3, Part One, Section B Unfortunately for Midori, the consent form gets torn by Ranmaru, who then encourages Sara to find a way to save Keiji by themselves. Before walking away, Midori mentions that there is another way to save Keiji, but he is sure no one will be able to find it.

In their search, the group find an ID card (alongside the transceiver Midori had on him and a new consent form) in the classroom that can be used to unlock a level of security; however, it turns out this card is a fake and triggers a trap which shows images of Sou on the screens instead, much to his dismay if he is still alive. The Shin AI feels bad for the group and decides to help them out but giving them some information. According to said AI, after being bugged by Maple, Midori had given up and gave her his real ID card alongside a letter. The letter, however, was not a traditional love letter like expected but an instruction manual all about Maple herself.

Chapter 3, Part One, Section A Midori Sou with his eyes open in the coffin. He is later found on the fourth floor in a coffin along with the dolls of previous candidates who did not survive the First Trial — dubbed "Dummies." He introduces himself to the remaining six participants as the late Sou Hiyori, but refuses to continue using the name as it was taken by Shin and asks Sara to rename him.

Going by the name Midori (default), he flees deeper onto the floor. A video call screen resembling a painting of him hangs in the Art Gallery where he speaks to the participants. He also speaks to Mai on a transceiver (originally used for Alice Yabusame and the real Hinako's First Trial) for a moment, revealing that the other transceiver is with him.

He is then found on the fifth floor's Security Room when he challenges the participants to a fight. Regardless of Sara's response, he will then go back on the idea and ask if the others are fine with playing tag before claiming that the one who is "it" will be Sara, whose collar begins to glow red. He then rushes past them and into the Library's hidden room. The group manages to find him and confront him in this room. However, their attention is brought to the fact that Midori doesn't have a collar on and therefore can't be tagged. Keiji or Sou then rightfully call out the fact that it was never stated someone would die if they lost tag, and reveal it as a timewaster stalling for something to happen, that's when the group realize Q-taro and Mai are missing, and decide to rush to find them leaving Midori behind. Midori appears just before the group makes to leave the Doll Graveyard and resume searching, claiming that the game of tag is over. Midori taunts Keiji, tossing him a gun which causes Keiji to flashback to his past trauma. Midori reveals that he was the one who tricked Keiji into shooting the latter's idol. Keiji furiously declares he'll kill Midori, and a fight between the two ensues. The human

Background

As a child, Midori was a friendly, antisocial loner quick to murder his classmates.[3] Sou attended the same high school as Shin Tsukimi, even though he was not a student in it. They became close enough that Shin visited Sou's house regularly despite being unnerved by him. Shin was perceptive enough to pick up Sou's amusement in making him nervous, but ignored it.

Midori worked as an undercover ASU-NARO agent in the police. He misled Keiji Shinogi into believing that an unarmed suspect — who was actually Mr. Policeman — was about to shoot, leading Keiji to unintentionally murder his idol.

At some point, Alice "killed" Sou by pushing him out of the window on a fence. It is unclear what actually happened, as Sou did not bleed after being pierced through. Nevertheless, Sou was presumed dead legally and lost the right to be a participant in the killing game. In spite of that, he kept working with the Death Game candidates except for Shin.

Sou had interactions with the candidates of the game posing in a variety of jobs to gain their trust and get them to sign the Asunaro vow. The details of Sou's encounters with Mishima, Keiji, Megumi, and the human counterparts to the Dummies are unknown, unlike with other participants.The Death Game

Chapter 1 During Shin's First Trial, when Shin decided to "throw away his old self," he adopts Sou Hiyori's name.

After the Main Game Keiji and Alice have a conversation in the hidden room where Alice reveals that the name of the man he killed was "Sou Hiyori", later revealed to be Midori.

Chapter 2 It becomes apparent Sou is familiar to most of the Death Game participants when the majority of them find his file in Kai Satou's laptop. This includes Keiji, Q-taro, Kanna, Reko, Alice, and Shin. However, none of them could clearly remember what relation they have with him, with the exception of Alice who realises he is the same "Sou Hiyori" as the one he killed. Later it's revealed that this is due to their memories

Midori is a sadistic and cruel person who torments others for his own sick amusement. According to Shin AI, Midori loves humans and has a habit of playing with them until they break or he gets tired of them. Moreover, Midori enjoys making people scared of him. He makes an effort to appear more intimidating by looming over, making an unnerving amount of eye contact, and saying upsetting things. Midori also exhibits a childlike attitude, as he likes taunting people and making mean jokes.

Midori is a cunning and educated person. He is good at reading others and pushing their buttons, as he knows exactly what to say to frighten another person or send them in a fit of rage. He is obsessed with control, preferring to trick others or cheat to stay in charge. His energetic and playful manner of speaking is often completely inappropriate in the circumstances, as he treats dark topics with little weight and makes his own death into a game. Sometimes, he drops the act and scolds participants when they don't follow his orders. This, however, only emphasizes his patronizing attitude.

Midori is bad at regulating his emotions: he easily succumbs to panic in life-or-death situations that he has no control of, losing the ability to rationalize. In the end, Midori is a coward who doesn't care about anyone but himself, and he has no hesitation in throwing his allies under the bus if it means saving his own life. This, ironically, led to Midori's demise.Upon death, Midori is in disbelief at Sara's choice, claiming he gave her a compromise. He regrets not calling it quits when he had the chance and finally admits how terrified he is of death.

Midori has bright green hair and disconcertingly wide jade eyes. His hair is short and wavy with a rattail or perhaps one particularly long strand of hair. Taunted with a slight smile, Midori's face is usually blank and unexpressive as a doll's.

His body is, in fact, over 50% doll but still has some human parts to it. His human hands are swapped with Mai's doll hands, and he can shoot them out as a weapon. Furthermore, he can spin his head 360° degrees.[2] Being a floor master for the Death Game, he wears a collar but can remove it at will.

He stands slightly hunched over. His usual outfit consists of a black suit, red tie, brown dress shoes, and the same scarf that Sou Hiyori wears, which at first belonged to Midori.

Lost Memories Midori is seen wearing various outfits in other characters' lantern flashbacks in Chapter 3, Part One while trying to get them to sign the consent form.

In Kanna's lost memory, Midori wears an ice cream shop worker uniform, consisting of a short-sleeved shirt and an apron. In Alice's lost memory, Midori wears what seems to be a prison guard uniform initially, before being seen is his usual ensemble. In Q-taro's lost memory, Midori wears white nurse scrubs alongside a red lanyard.

SPECIES Human (<50%) Doll (>50%) GENDER Male Hair Color Green Eye Color Caribbean Green Height 191 cm Midori (ミドリ, Midori?, lit. "Green") is a Floor Master of the Fourth and Fifth Floors. His name is customizable for the player with Midori being the main option pushed by the game. He was originally supposed to participate in the Death Game but did not end up as one of the 20 participants who played it.[1]

His true identity is the real Sou Hiyori (日和ヒヨリ颯ソウ, Hiyori Sou?) who was supposedly long deceased before the Death Game began
