Mode
YMMV
AA
- Alternative Character Interpretation: Since Rin is unambiguously present only in the beginning and the end of the story, who is in control when the kid performs villainy is left unclear. Some heroes believe it's Rin supporting Shion's motives, while other refer to him exclusively as Shion possessing Rin's body. Rin later admitting being in control at few points and letting Shion collect the passwords hoping he can ruin his plans in the last minute doesn't help matters.
