the story focuses mainly on the events of Arc 5


Ayamatsu | Prideful Even in Death provides examples of:

  • Adaptational Nice Guy: Elsa while she is still an insane assassin who takes pleasure in gutting people and enjoys looking at the color of their guts...she cares deeply for Subaru, Meili and Spica... she even cries when Ayamatsu Subaru surrenders to save them.
  • Berserk Button:
    • Regulus Corneas, just imposing on this guy's rights(which include the right to speak without ever being interrupted, the right to stand in the open without being assaulted, the right to be given a courteous introduction, the right to marry any woman whose apperance he finds appealing and the Right to NOT be ignored and many many more) is usually followed by those who've offended him getting horribly maimed or killed in retaliation.
    • Just seeing Reinhard is enough to set Ayamatsu Subaru off the rails.
  • Don't You Dare Pity Me!:
    • Ayamatsu Subaru does this when Reinhard Van Astrea decided to spare his life because Meili begged him.
    • He does it again when his Counterpart looks at him with pity.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Despite being a love obsessed psychopath and an Archbishop of the Witch Cult, Ayamatsu Subaru still finds the actions of Regulus disgusting enough that he teams up with Subaru, Beatrice and Julius to kill him.
  • Evil Counterpart: Ayamatsu Subaru is one to Natsuki Subaru.
  • I Hate Past Me: More like “alternate timeline me", but still accurate, Ayamatsu Subaru HATES his Canon Counterpart as he got to spend so much time with Emilia than him and wants nothing more than to kill his counterpart, but sadly that wasn’t an option due to the power they had both been cursed with.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite killing people in cold blood and being a Manipulative Bastard, he's actually incredibly compassionate and cares about his companions, even willing to surrender just to keep them safe.
  • Love Makes You Evil: Ayamatsu Subaru's obsessive feelings towards Emilia combined with his fragile mental state due to repeated failure and death had twisted him into this Insane Cultist.
  • Non-Action Guy:
    • Applies to both Subarus, who lack the real power to face their enemies and often focusing on strategizing and relegating others take action in their plans
    • Defied when Subaru tried fighting against Lust alone, but it didn't go well.
  • Sinister Minister: Ayamatsu Subaru and his fellow Archbishops are the leading authorities of the Witch's Cult.

Alternative Title(s): Pridefulevenindeath
