Name: Ryoji Mochizuki Gender: Male Height: 179cm A beautiful boy whose trademark features are an exceptionally long yellow scarf and a beauty mark under his left eye. He has a bright and sociable personality but is a natural flirt; when talking to women, he always strikes a pose to show off his charm. With his looks and silver tongue, he is as popular as an idol among the general female student body and hits on them regardless of the location. However, he isn't just a shallow playboy. He is a kind-hearted boy who genuinely worries from the bottom of his heart when a friend is feeling down and thinks about what he can do to help. Because of his pushy and overly lighthearted attitude, he gets along incredibly well with Junpei, and the two are often viewed collectively as the "idiot duo." His true identity, however, is "Death," the ultimate Shadow created long ago through the research of the Kirijo Group. Originally a Shadow without a sense of self, he gained a human personality and materialized as the person "Ryoji Mochizuki" through a series of twists and turns. After instantly defeating Aigis, who confronted him again to destroy Death, Ryoji informed the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad of Nyx's arrival. He then forced them to choose: kill him to lose their memories of Nyx, or face a battle against Nyx that they could not win. ...While Ryoji ended up being the cause of much misfortune, he did not act out of dangerous ideology or malice. It was more a matter of "doing what he must because that is what he is." After the final battle (from January onwards), Nyx withdrew and Death vanished. However, the bonds he shared with others and his wish to live as a single boy named "Ryoji Mochizuki" caused a miracle, and Ryoji reappeared as an independent existence. Nature of Existence: As Nyx moved away from humanity, the role of presiding over "Death" also faded. At that moment, only the personality of "Ryoji Mochizuki," born from the days spent with everyone, remained. He is no longer Death, nor the Appriser of the Fall. He is just a single human being. He eats, sleeps, ages, and will eventually reach the end of his natural lifespan. He smiles and says that this makes him very happy. Memories: Ryoji remembers everything. The day he transferred. The time spent laughing with everyone. The fact that he was Death. The night he said his final goodbye to him. That is why he values life more than anyone else. Ryoji's Own Wish: "I won't end the world anymore." "So this time..." "I want to try living inside the world." Going to school. Laughing with friends. Worrying about his future. Maybe falling in love. Accumulating the "ordinary" was, for Ryoji, the greatest miracle of all.
