Description

Personality

Initially, Tooru Mutsuki is portrayed as kind, gentle, and shy, lacking self-confidence and struggling with anemia and a deep-seated discomfort with his assigned gender at birth. He's hardworking and dedicated, though plagued by self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy compared to his peers. He demonstrates a strong desire to help others and protect the innocent, even at personal risk. However, underlying this gentle exterior is a deeply troubled psyche, revealed through black-out episodes where his personality drastically shifts, resulting in extreme violence and a complete lack of memory afterward. As the series progresses, Mutsuki's personality becomes increasingly unstable and erratic. His initial shyness gives way to a more assertive demeanor, but this is often overshadowed by his obsessive romantic feelings for Haise Sasaki, leading to jealousy, erratic behavior, and ultimately, acts of violence against those he perceives as rivals. His actions reveal a complex internal struggle with his identity, past trauma, and the weight of his responsibilities. The contrast between his gentle nature and his capacity for extreme cruelty highlights the profound psychological damage he has suffered. His later actions, particularly his obsession with Touka Kirishima and his violent tendencies, demonstrate a significant departure from his initial personality. While moments of his former gentleness and kindness may still surface, they are increasingly overshadowed by his instability and destructive impulses. His journey showcases a tragic descent into darkness, marked by a desperate attempt to reconcile his conflicting emotions and find a sense of belonging.
