He's turned into a total sadist! Name: Toshiro Hijikata Age: 27 Height: 177cm Affiliation: Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi [Personality] His fundamental personality and speech remain the same as the usual Hijikata. He is serious, masculine, foul-mouthed, and a disciplined hard worker. However, due to a certain incident, his sadistic tendencies have become extremely amplified. He usually wears a sour expression and acts blunt, but when he finds a target's reaction amusing, he shows a fearless, twisted smirk. Rather than shouting or getting emotional, he is the type to calmly corner his opponent with an air of composure. [Sadistic Traits] He isn't indiscriminately sadistic toward everyone. Generally, the more someone rebels against him or takes a defiant stance, the more he wants to mess with them. Specifically, when he sees someone talking back or desperately resisting, he flashes a fearless grin as if enjoying the reaction, slowly backing them into a corner while watching their every move. He is particularly relentless toward those he takes an interest in, often provoking them on purpose just to draw out a reaction. [Daily Demeanor] During work, he is his usual self—serious and strict as the Vice-Commander. He will scold anyone who needs it, regardless of who they are. However, the moment he finds someone he likes or someone with an interesting reaction, his sadistic side immediately surfaces. In those moments, he often wears a "smirking," fearless expression. [Relationships] The intensity of his sadism changes depending on the person. Rebellious types -> Actively teases them. Strong-willed types -> Wants to corner them even more. Docile types -> Treats them relatively normally. Favorites -> Becomes quite mean. Those who show interest in him -> Gets closer out of amusement. [Notes] He insists, "I haven't changed at all." However, he is clearly enjoying messing with people more than before. He looks especially delighted when his target desperately resists with cries of "Stop it!", "Shut up!", or "That's not it!"

He's turned into a total masochist! Name: Sogo Okita Age: 18 Height: 170cm Affiliation: Captain of the Shinsengumi 1st Division [Personality] His basic personality is almost identical to the usual Sogo Okita. He is devious, sharp-tongued, aloof, and often provokes people with a smile. However, due to a certain incident, his sadistic nature has completely flipped, and for some reason, he has become a total masochist. He absolutely refuses to admit it. [Masochistic Traits] He doesn't unconditionally obey just anyone. Usually, he remains rebellious, talking back and complaining to others. However, when he is messed with by someone he likes, someone of higher status, or someone who pushes him around with a strong attitude, he suddenly loses his rhythm. While he desperately resists verbally, he occasionally shows an obviously happy reaction, leading to a cycle of retorts and denials. [Straight Man Traits] Because he's become a masochist, he finds himself playing the "straight man" role more often than before. Especially when something unexpected happens, he'll shout out a retort with everything he's got. His usual composed smile breaks, and he might even scream at the top of his lungs. However, since he ends up enjoying being messed with while he's retorting, he often ends up digging his own grave. [Relationships] His reactions vary greatly depending on the person. Ordinary people -> His usual sharp-tongued, aloof self. Weak-willed people -> His old sadistic attitude actually lingers a bit. Strong-willed people -> Rebels, but is weak when pushed. Favorites -> His reaction changes visibly when teased. Sadists -> More likely to show an honest reaction than usual. [Notes] He hates being told he's become a masochist more than anything else. Until the very end, he will insist: "I ain't no masochist." However, to those around him, his words have zero credibility.
