* {{Determinator}}: She was able to make her way from the first floor to the fifth floor to get to the trial grounds in order to save Sokyu from being falsely convicted of her "murder" despite suffering a massive head injury and having a near-death experience.
* DisneyDeath: She's seemingly killed in Chapter 5 after a paranoid Sokyu shoved her down the stairs and falling down from the fifth floor to the first floor.
* IdentityAmnesia: Much like her mother during the Killing School Life, most of her memories about her past was taken away to the point that she could only recall her first name. Though thanks to the residents of the Afterlife Theater, she was able to regain all her memories.
* TalkingDownTheSuicidal: She manages to talk Clover out of taking her life at the start of Chapter 3 after her brother's death. Sadly, Clover would still end up dead, albeit from murder rather than suicide.

--> '''Sokyu''': Count me in! I’m not exactly ecstatic about the idea of putting my life on the line again so soon after barely escaping execution. That being said…that psychotic bear tried to manipulate me into killing you…I don’t appreciate being duped into doing someone else’s dirty work. Besides… [[Main/IOweYouMyLife I…owe you my life]]…so until I’ve paid you back, I’ll follow your lead to the very end!”
* ConnectedAllAlong: At first, it seemed like he was just an OriginalCharacter created for this fanfic. It isn't until Chapter 5 when it's revealed that he's related to the Akafuku brothers.
* {{Foil}}: To Kiki:
** Both of them lost their memories of their families and their last names. While Kiki's open about her IdentityAmnesia and open to trust and cooperate with others, Sokyu tends to isolate himself and be very distrusting of others.
** Kiki's parents are well-regarded heroes due to their efforts in stopping the Tragedy, while Sokyu's father and uncle are criminals.
** While Kiki actively investigates ad participates in Class Trials, Sokyu tends to sit out investigations due to him usually being the most suspected person in the group until the last two chapters when he willing works with the others.
* KillingInSelfDefense: He ends up killing Lotus in Chapter 3 when she tried kill him for seemingly killing Clover and working with Monokuma.
* MeaningfulName: His first name means "redemption", as his father Shutaro wanted him to [[Main/EvilParentsWantGoodKids not make the same mistakes him and his brother made that made them criminals]].

As if reading her mind, he tells her [[Main/HandicappedBadass he very well can use it if he needs to]] and lets her know he isn't offended by what she thought.
* InnocentBystander: The only reason he's killed by Ace was because of the latter's prosopagnosia causing him to mistake Snake for Teruaki (his intended target) due to him wearing his pajamas at the time.
* StrippedToTheBone: Like Ryoma in V3, his corpse gets eaten by piranhas until he's reduced to a skeleton.
