* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: Implied. When Tsuruno tries to plead with him to abandon his path after they walked out of the Omi HQ, Shishido tells him to stay out of his way. While he did address Tsuruno informally, which he took offense to, Shishido did say it in a tone which implies he didn't want Tsuruno caught in the crossfire.

While he did address Tsuruno informally, which he took offense to, Shishido did say it in a tone which implies he didn't want Tsuruno caught in the crossfire. Which is likely, as Tsuruno did save Shishido from Nishitani's torture and Shishido considered him a friend.

* StarterVillain: He's the game's primary antagonist for the first two chapters, [[spoiler: being the man behind Hanawa's kidnapping. He and Kiryu end up finding common ground, however, and Tsuruno becomes a valuable ally as the story's focus shifts to dealing with the much more vile and dangerous Nishitani.]]

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler:When Kiryu decides to go off on his own to save Hanawa, Yoshimura balks at this since that would just mean that Kiryu would have more eyes on him, not realizing that since [[{{Unperson}} joining the Daidoji]], Kiryu's just trying to save what few friends he has in the faction.]]

* DeathFakedForYou: [[spoiler:After his second fight with Kiryu, Kiryu insists on carrying Nishitani out of the burning building they're in. Shishido then stabs Nishitani to "death" when Kiryu has his back turned, and it's revealed in the finale that the knife was a toy and the blood was fake.]]

* MadeOfIron: During his final boss fight, in which he is clearly still recovering from his previous encounter with Kiryu, he somehow survives being knocked off a scaffolding and then being ''hit by a limousine'' driving at top speed. [[spoiler:Perhaps this trait is why the Daidoji takes him alive after this fight.]]

The Worf Effect is more fitting to differentiate Morinaga's fighting skills from when he renamed himself Hanawa than Adaptational Wimp.


* AdaptionalWimp: Since his previous life was Yuu Morinaga, his fighting skills took a hit since becoming a Daidoji agent. Previously he was able to put up a fight, while here he needs assistance whenever he goes into battle.

Previously he was able to put up a fight, while here he needs assistance whenever he goes into battle. He doesn't even do much fighting in ''Infinite Wealth'' and when the Barracudas ransack the Daidoji safehouse he was using, he's shot before he could even get ready to fight.

* ArcVillain: He's the FinalBoss of the game, scheming to take control over the Omi Alliance remnants once Watase disbands it. However, he doesn't become the main threat until the last arc.



* BigBad: He's the FinalBoss of the game, scheming to take control over the Omi Alliance remnants once Watase disbands it.


Added DiffLines:

* ArcVillain: The main villain of the midpoint of the game towards its end, but more because he is a potential new leader for the Omi Alliance than because he is the mastermind behind anything.

* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: As Yoshimura puts it, he's been a massive thorn at the side of the Daidoji but has proven resourceful enough that rather than killing him they're enslaving him instead.

* HeelFaceTurn: He's actually Yuu Moringa, who was one of the leading figures VideoGame/Yakuza5's conspiracy and one of Kiryu's enemies. Despite still engaging in some sketchy activity as acting leader of the Daidoji, he ultimately chooses to do right by Kiryu even if it means putting his own life on the line.

* AxCrazy: Unlike the more outwardly unhinged Nishitani, Shishido appears more composed for most of the story, but by the time the story reaches its final arc, he becomes a raving, monstrous lunatic hell-bent on slaughtering the remnants of the Omi Alliance and Kiryu for disbanding the Alliance and essentially ruining Shishido's ambitions for good. Combined with the hellish torture he was subjected to under Nishitani's thumb and essentially losing everything he held dear in his life, Shishido expresses all the factors that make him so dangerous in his final fight against Kiryu, being the man who essentially wanted everything yet ended up ''losing'' everything in the hierarchy.
