A lot of people may not realize it, but there's a lot more to Kizami Yuuya's character than it may at first seem. What he did was bad, but his mindset is not wholly one of a murderer. See, he seems to fit the mold of a person who has Antisocial Personality Disorder (otherwise known as ASPD). A person with this is known to do impulsive, chaotic things, such as setting fire to a building for the heck of it. Most importantly to note, a person with ASPD has a notable lack of a moral compass, a characteristic central to Kizami's character. In other words, the Kizami we see pre-Heavenly Host is not faking his personality or anything, it may be a result of ASPD. His quiet mannerism, little to say, and whatnot... it's all because of the way his mind works differently from others. So then one would ask "Why did he do what he did when he got into Heavenly Host?" Well, remember what I mentioned before? The chances are, he is acting on an impulse. After having tossed the body of one of his former classmates down the stairwell in what may or may not have been an awkward attempt to help everyone move on (abet, in a very pointed way), everyone freaks out and starts calling him a murderer. So that's when the idea gets put in his head: "In here... getting killed by the school and getting killed by me... are one and the same. We're all going to die in here either way after all." He figures since everyone is bound to die, he ought to live out this idea, this sudden impulse in an attempt to accomplish something he feels he has failed to accomplish all his life: witness true, sincere emotions, even if it is in the form of a person's fear of dying, being on the wrong end of his knife. It's something he has wanted forever, seeing as his parents, who are very much to blame (more of that in a minute), never gave him any positive acknowledgement. Now, regarding his parents, they were very harsh to young Kizami with all he did, scorning him about nearly everything under the sun. This significant lack of love he received, rather did not receive, did not do well in helping him be able to tell right from wrong, that's for certain. This brings us to the next point: what about when he was killing small animals, is that not a staple characteristic of a murderer? Well, you can look at it that way, yes, but keeping in mind what was said earlier, this is very much likely due to his lack of a moral compass. Even in the past, he was acting on impulse to feel something because, when it came to his own family, he had begun to felt nothing, deciding to shut them out after continued scorn. So, I hope this bit of writing might have shed a new light on an old, very easily hated character. This is in no way definitive piece of information, but I hope it's at least well thought out enough to at least elicit some new thought from you, the reader, regarding this character. No, this doesn't justify his actions, but it does a lot to explain why those actions may have occurred and displays a new level of complexity to a pivotal member of the Corpse Party cast.

O.o if never knew that. But I did feel very bad for kizami when I got further into BoS. His parents sounded so harsh to him, that I just wanted to kick them in a volcano and give kizami a hug. I never hated the character, I just thought he was going insane, just like the shigster "morishige" |

The First Victim

Honestly, what made me very interested in his personality is his pursuit for the cold, grotesque truth. (Which is what I relate to him the most) The only thing I do not approve of about him is his treatment of animals.(here's a fun fact, if you want me to hate someone for the rest of their life, hurt or threaten an animal in front of me) I've oftentimes compared Kizami to Ted Bundy because they come from virtually the same background. Other than his hostile behavior towards animals, he's still an interesting character and I'd love to dissect his mind. |

I really like your explanation, it gave me some thinking time, however, i don't change my opinion so easily, so this'll take a while to get on my brain. Good explanation Nonetheless |

Yea, his abuse of animals really doesn't help him win any brownie points with anyone, me included. All I can really say about that is he does it because it doesn't feel wrong to him. In fact, he may not even know it's wrong, as weird as it sounds. That's because his mind, undeniably, is very different from others in the series, especially in how it works. So, in short, he hurt to animals because he didn't view it as wrong and it makes him feel something... well, at least more than his parents made him feel. But yes, once again, this does not in any way justify his actions. Yea, on a glance, a lot of the characters seem just flat-out crazy, but there's so much more to them. The writing in Corpse Party has a lot more meaning than it does on a glance, especially regarding the characters. I think Kedouin wrote the characters like this intentionally and it may even be something he likes to think/write about. Frankly, those sorts of things fascinate me too, which is apparent from my opening of this topic. Further evidence of this can be found within Dead Patient. The main characters in the game each have interesting mental conditions. Ayumi has amnesia while one other speaks sentences in such a way that they come out sounding like questions (that is called "uptalk"). So yes, I think this is something Kedouin is very much aware of.

That's a great analysis on Kizami, Iarumas! ![]() I'm not sure of the BoS' manga's validity, but there was also a time where Yuuya hurts (I think to the point of bleeding) a classmate of his during his young years. (Even younger than the Yuuya in the flashbacks.) I'm not sure of his dialogue there since it was not yet translated, but his indifference towards the matter could easily be seen in his expression. Yes, I also agree on the Katayama matter where he kicked his body down. He might have had good intentions then, wanting to let the others get a move on since their friend was already dead, yet still slowing them down. That ASPD you talked about might have some sort of connection to his direct and easily misunderstood action. This is my thoughts on the matter, but maybe he had a sort of jealousy towards his siblings' success and attention that caused him to be closed to them? Kizami's parents may have been neglectful of him, but his brother and sister did try to set him right, though it should also be noted that Haruna was a bit forceful with her methods. That was also the case with his brother, whose name I don't remember. Unfortunately, the possible jealousy had prevented their good intentions from reaching him, making him the Kizami we all know now. I really like Kizami as a character too, especially after seeing his possible change of heart (or at least that's how I saw it) in Mire. He's gonna appear in BD, so I hope we can get a good scene from him. Some closure to his case would really be nice for many of us, I bet. I've always felt like the Byakudans were the side "main" story of the game, since they had the most screentime out of the schools aside from Kisaragi. |

Regarding his family again, it is true his siblings, especially his brother, wanted to set him straight. It is very much likely his jealousy for his brother and sister caused him to flat out ignore what they were saying half the time. The other half, he would action on irrational, impulsive defense. Since he already lacks the ability to tell right from wrong, the idea of violence comes up to the same level as yelling at someone. You even see this in practice. His siblings tell him to stop and what he is doing is wrong. He tells to to go away and overall doesn't care much. Once they persist, he does what any other person would do; try something else to make them go away. Granted, not everyone would resort to violence immediately after like that, but Kizami does because he basically see it as justifiable self-defense, the same way as saying something hurtful to someone. In the end, if other people segment their response to a particular situations as "good/ration reactions" and "bad/irrational reactions", to Kizami, it's all the same. Just "reaction", a means to an end which, like I said, is possibly due to ASPD.
