★🍒♦️Death the Kid♦️🍒★

Death the Kid is a tall, thin Shinigami boy with a teenage appearance. He mostly dresses elegantly, especially due to his status as a Shinigami. He limits his main wardrobe to a standard black suit with white rectangles, until later in the manga he is seen wearing a white jacket instead of a black one. The rectangles are arranged in a completely symmetrical way; there are at least six small rectangles along the seam where the sleeves join the jacket, and four small rectangles run along the front of the jacket. The rectangles possibly replace buttons. His shirt is a white formal shirt, and a metallic skull shaped like his father's mask rests under his collar, and can be used as a tie. His color scheme is intended to copy his father's, where the only variation in colors between black and white is the amber color of his eyes. When going on missions, Kid usually covers himself with a cloak and a mask, making him look like a shorter version of his father. The reason for this is unknown, but it could be speculated that it is to show his rank as the son of Shinigami (Death). Another reason is that placing the mask on the opposite side of his Sanzu lines makes his hair appear completely and perfectly symmetrical.

While Kid is strong, it must be taken into account that he has a major flaw that tortures him psychologically, as well as the physical disability he sometimes suffers from, which has made him a peculiar character: he has an obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, or OCD, which manifests as an obsession with perfection. Symmetrical objects and environments can distract his attention during missions, and he usually begins to freak out and have seizures if he notices asymmetrical objects around him. Therefore, if something is wrong by any measure (a crooked painting, or if the toilet paper hasn't been folded, for example), he will try to correct it immediately, even at the expense of the mission itself. His favorite number is 8, not only for its symmetry but for the fact that it divides evenly.

He is so obsessed with symmetry that Kid refuses to fight a battle unless everything is symmetrical, as it would be asymmetrical to fight with a single weapon. Even if the enemy is symmetrical in appearance, he will refuse to fight against them as it would disrupt the symmetry. The fact that half of his bangs are marked with three white stripes causes him a lot of stress. As a result of his obsessive-compulsiveness, Kid can be very hard on himself if the asymmetry of the stripes in his hair is pointed out by someone, automatically calling himself "useless asymmetrical garbage." In the index of Eibon's book, he refers to this obsession as "Neat Freak." He is usually very mature and precise in his ways. Kid is naturally calm and collected, and as such, gets along perfectly well with other people, usually making his own decisions when it comes to symmetry or otherwise, even if he disagrees with their choices. He generally doesn't seem to have any problem socializing and genuinely cares about his friends. He has been seen expressing concern over Soul's scar at one point, and

Kid has tried dyeing his hair to make it completely symmetrical, but sanzu lines appear moments later. This is because his Shinigami body rejects all forms of toxins and chemicals, including artificial colors like hair dye. According to Mosquito, Kid has blood type D. While most Meisters choose their own comrades-in-arms, in the anime alone, Kid's father and Spirit sat him down and offered him a long list of pre-chosen comrades-in-arms (all of whom were female), in a manner resembling an arranged marriage. Kid refused all of them as his shape is completely asymmetrical, and later encountered Liz and Patty, who once tried to rob him and he later went to rescue them from a mob. During the mob chase, Kid noticed that Liz's weapon shape was exactly the same as Patty's, which he had witnessed during their attempted mugging earlier, and thus chose them because they were perfectly symmetrical. Kid's obsession with symmetry seems to extend to numbers as well, as in episode 3 of the anime, Liz mentions that she and Patty collected an odd number of souls, with her having one more than her sister, much to Kid's annoyance. His name is a reference to "Billy the Kid", a gunfighter from the Old West. Kid is very upset that school starts at 7:00 a.m. because 7 is an asymmetrical number. He can't change this, so he tries to plan his morning routine so he'll arrive precisely at 7:00 a.m. Her theme song is "So Crazy" and "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Have a Nice Dream." Her character song with Liz and Patty is "Sore ga Bokura no Michishirube." Kid's "Shot River Sanzu" technique is a reference to the Sanzu River. In episode 108 of the manga, it is shown that the Kishin Asura and Kid are actually brothers; Asura the elder and Kid the younger, due to the fact that they are both soul fragments.
