* FreudianExcuse: He has no memories, no home and no family because he's a mere creation of the Book capable of RewritingReality. He joined the Decay of the Angel and is participating in their terrorism in exchange of being given a casino that he can call his home with the power of the Book.

* OnlySaneByComparison: While he is part of a dangerous terrorist group and has caused the deaths of many people, when put next to Dazai, Fyodor, and Gogol he looks like a well rounded, upstanding citizen.

He is left shocked and appalled when Dazai proceeds to literally dance around with him, despite the time limit. He's also the only one to display any fear or concern to a vampire coming to Fyodor's aid and killing all the guards.]]

* DarkIsNotEvil: He has a dark outfit and isn't actually a bad guy since he was exploited by Fukuchi for his vampiric ability essential for the Decay of the Angel's latest plan.
