* FauxAffablyEvil: Behaves in a friendly and polite manner towards people, though this is just facade he uses to distract people from the fact he's a twisted serial killer. He does seem to be genuinely affable when with Garai, but that's it.

* PracticallyJoker: He's a physically frail chessmaster who went insane due to being exposed to chemicals, enjoys brutally murdering people for the sake of spreading chaos, finds his crimes hilarious, and has a HoYay relationship with his opponent.

While heinous and unlikeable, being a hate sink implies a moral agency Yuki lacks

* IllGirl: Along with making him a complete and utter monster, the MW has also made Michio gravely ill.

* SupportingProtagonist: While Michio is the main character, the story takes place mainly from Garai’s perspective, likely because [[HateSink Michio is too unsympathetic to focus an entire story on.]]

** To be more specific medically, he betters fits the profile of psychopath. Sociopaths are generally born without empathy, while psychopaths develop their condition as a result of living situations or exposure to toxic elements. He has the surface-level charm of a sociopath, but unlike them, he has the compulsive need for violence of psychopaths. It's possible MW gave him a neurological condition worse then both.
