History Characters / Pupa

* OedipusComplex: He is very depressed about the fact that his mother abandoned the house. Also a plot point, given [[spoiler: his atttraction to Yume, who is a replica of his mother.]]

* InnocentlyInsensitive: [[spoiler: What got her scarred in the first place. She discovered her brother's porcelain dolls and realized he did....things with them from time to time. She also concluded it was due to an OedipusComplex. Ashamed upon his secret being discovered, he threw a teapot full of boiling water on her face.]]

* WhipItGood: Genjurou was fond of [[spoiler:stripping a young Shiro naked and whipping him to lash his flesh, while claiming that the pain was the purest expression of love. Now we see where did Shiro get those strange ideas about "hurting the ones you love"...]]

* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: By Utsutsu, for ruining his family's life for years. Justified, as he's conditioned to love her due to the revival spell on him. Shiro and Sachiko aren't so forgiving and still resent her for ruining their and Utsutsu's lives.]]
* EldritchAbomination: It was believed the Pupa virus transformed Yume into one. [[spoiler: Then it's revealed she was a monster all along.]]

* ObfuscatingStupidity: [[spoiler: She actually knew all along that she was a monster. She also remembered Yuu and apologized for abandoning him to be dissected by Maria.]]

* DarkAndTroubledPast: It's shown that in the past, Shiro was an orphan adopted by Genjurou Imari. For years, he was locked in his house, physically abused and used as little more than a toy. He escaped after Genjurou commited suicide, only to be broken further by Maria, who claimed that Genjurou's abuse was his love for Shiro. Hence why he is so unhinged and believes that hurting those you love is the greatest form of affection.

* FreudianExcuse: Being abused during all of his childhood definitely warped Shiro's view on giving affection to others. He even admits in Chapter 24 that he knows he's broken and doesn't know how to show proper affection.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: [[spoiler: What got her scarred in the first place. She discovered her brother's porcelain dolls and realized he did....things with them from time to time.

To the point he collected porcelain dolls and....did things with them from time to time. After he developed feelings for Ai, he switches his preferences to dolls that look like Ai.]]

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: [[spoiler: He's completely devoted to Yume and continues to be at her side, even after learning she's an ancient monster and not really her sister, insiting she's just an innocent victim. Justified, as he's been brainwashed to be loyal to Yume, see MindRape above.]]

* {{Expy}}: Stoic, bespectacled man in a nice suit? Has difficult expressing his feelings? Check. BadassNormal? Check. Has a MoralityPet, whom he acts indifferent to, but the end shows that he cares about that person? Check. Gee, sounds like [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Soichiro Kuzuki to me.]]
