While the sincerity of his "mission" is [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist highly questionable]], Bidiya confirms the view itself and says that it's his main weakness, as he can't clearly see either good or evil, only the "neutral" emotions: he can see neither Masha when she feels wrath for him hurting her friends (until she starts feeling pride over attacking Kim without resistance, as if she's that powerful), nor Bidiya once he suppresses his own pride; he can't even clearly see Klingzor, as the latter's ''too'' evil.evil
Added DiffLines:
* TheCult: If Klingzor is used to show the children that DrugsAreBad, Kim is a clear example of how sects are working – behind the idea of "salvation" and promised paradise, there's an ambitious villain who sees the people around themselves as tools to use and discard, all so that ''he'' would come into power. Anatoly poses as a Buddhist guru but doesn't share the ideals: it's just an easy cover for his true agenda. To achieve his goals, he cooperates with Klingzor, and sees nothing wrong with it.

In the Awake World: An eleventh-year student and successful drug dealer.\\
In the Dream Land: A fabled knight, believed to be dead after a bloody battle with the forces of the Abyss.
* TheBigGuy: Camelot doesn't know how to use the will-swords, but he's tough, strong and has the normal blade (and a chainmail), which serves him well enough. His companions are Fyodor (who knows how to use the will-blade, but [[GlassCannon is nowhere as tough]]) and Anya (who isn't much of a combatant for the better part of the story).
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: "Fatso" is actually the result of Klingzor brainwashing Camelot (through his Black Mirror) and reincarnating him like this in the Awake World. Once he falls into a coma alongside Anya and Fedya, he snaps out of it and returns to his true self.

A policeman who starts investigating the disappearance of Marya Ivanovna and gets tangled in a ''way'' more difficult case.
* BigDamnHeroes: He finally joins in the final battle against Klingzor's minions and provides much-needed assistance. With a machine-gun, no less. Downplayed, however, since his machine-gun doesn't work against the Heroins, and Klingzor uses Masha as a human shield.
* BoozeBasedBuff: Normally, to come into the Dream Land, one needs to either sleep, be high on drugs, or meditate. He comes there by getting drunk. We only learn about the way he did this ''after'' the adventure is over, which somewhat negates the awesomeness of his BigDamnHeroes moment.

* BondVillainStupidity: He makes the classic villain mistake, talking too much about his plans and motives instead of just offing the heroes. While he doesn't reveal anything important for them to use against him, the talk itself buys Bidiya some time to break free (he was isolated from the world and trapped in his mind) and kick Kim's ass. Unfortunately, Kim himself manages to escape.
