Akari Haku is a student of Hope's Peak Academy, and the protagonist of the Train Station Killing Game featured in the Danganronpa RP Hub. His titles are the Ultimate Archer [ lit. Super High School Level Archer ] and the secret Ultimate Assassin [ lit. Super High School Level Assassin. ]
==Appearance==
Akari is a short teenager who has creamy pale skin and brunette hair, with a blue streak on his bangs. He also has blue eyes. As an archer, he wears a blue policeman's suit with a blue tie and black belt. He wears dark blue pants and black shoes. He wears a large blue arrow case with a black strap on his back.
During Chapter 2's Russia trip, Akari wore a blue jacket and brown strap over his normal clothes, and instead of shoes, he wore dark blue boots.
As an assassin, he wore a bandage on his cheek and wrist, and a dark suit with light blue designs. Instead of shoes, Akari wore grey boots. In his splash art, he also wears a black cape.
==Personality==
Akari Haku is a harsh individual and cares very little about others. Although in very rare occasions, he can be nice and not judgmental. Akari can also be extra sensitive, and very short-tempered. Although in very rare occasions, he can be seen vulnerable, these occasions tend to happen when he's near certain individuals.
Although Akari can constantly push others away, he's actually a frail guy who doesn't like being seen as weak. As he became an Ultimate, it was when that weak part of him turned into a poisonous personality with an ego and short temper. As of now, he doesn't have that weak trait anymore, although if one of his family members is near him, his cruel personality may shatter temporarily. Akari is also afraid of hurting others physically which is why he tends to push others away.

==Background==
===Prior to the Tragedy===
Akari Haku is born in June 11. His family and lineage all practice martial arts as a tradition. Akari also does martial arts, but it wasn't his passion.
When he was very young, he had always admired archery. He often makes bows and arrows out of paper and rubber bands, even though his parents had always thrown them out.
When he was 7, he went to a gym alone to practice martial arts as instructed by his parents. But there, he also saw an archer's section, and tried shooting arrows without his parents' consent. He always manages to hit the bullseye. When his parents arrived at the gym, they were furious that he wasn't practicing martial arts like he was told to do, but they also saw potential in his talent.
Because of this event, his parents decided to let him learn archery, forcing him to master it. Just like always, they were strict about it. Akari struggled mastering it, but when he turned 10, he had his first archery competition, competing against adult professionals. Akari defeated them all and is the overall winner of the event.
Akari continued learning archery and participating event after event, never losing a single match. He was also able to earn a lot of money, capable of letting him make a living for himself, but his parents always claimed his earned money as their own, cruelly stealing from their son without complaint or consequence. This annoyed him.
One night, when he was 13, he was on his way home from lessons, when suddenly a group of masked men dressed in black took him and shoved him into a car, tying him up. Akari was about to stab the men with the arrows he carries around with him, but the men had made a warning that they will shoot him to death if he bothered fighting back.
They took him to an abandoned asylum where they had also kidnapped his parents. There, they forced Akari's parents to swallow lethal poison, while Akari watched in horror. His parents died in front of him.
It was clear that these masked men in black wanted Akari for a reason: his talent. They wanted to take advantage of his talent as a young archer.
From this point forward, Akari was forced to learn how to kill. He became a trained assassin, steathily killing people and leaving no traces.
Akari wasn't the only one this organization has captured and seeked to turn into a weapon. The organization had kidnapped many other teens and even children, and raise them to become weapons, all taking part into a project called Project Weaponize. However, it is currently unclear why this project started in the first place.
During his time in the asylum, he became friends with a boy named Jeremy, who is very positive and friendly, which annoyed Akari at first but he eventually warmed up to him. The two grew close.
Two years later when they were 15, Jeremy was sent out on a mission, which resulted in his death. Akari received the news of Jeremy's death and grieved. This drove Akari into a blind rage, and he knew he could no longer live like this or else he'll die like Jeremy. He killed most of the organization's people, as well as helped other teens and children escape the asylum.
Akari ended up homeless, wandering the streets, since his parents are dead. But eventually after a few days, Akio, his older cousin, found him and took him in, before getting him a house to live in. Akio tried to reconcile with him and fixing their broken relationship, but because of Akari's low tolerance as well as him just escaping from a horrible life, he only constantly pushed Akio away.
Akari continued his competitive archery as a career, he was able to earn enough money to start attending school again.
He was widely hated and lonely by the students there, but he had his first relationship with a girl named Arya. But a month into their relationship, Akari confessed his crimes and talent to her. Disgusted, she broke up with him.
This was Akari's breaking point. He was fully convinced no one would want him, and so a few days after Arya dumped him, he attempted suicide by jumping off the school rooftop. But he was unexpectedly saved by another one of his classmates: Ichika.
The two became friends, and eventually, dating. But a month into their relationship, Akari told Ichika about his talent. But unlike Arya, Ichika didn't break up with him. But rather they just grew more distant from each other.
One day when he was 16, he received a letter from Hope's Peak Academy, and earned both titles of "Ultimate Archer" and "Ultimate Assassin".
===Train Station Killing Game===
====Prologue====
Along with nineteen others, he woke up inside of a train. Almost immediately after he woke up, he was spotted by Akio Haku, who just so happened to be his cousin. Akio threw himself on top of Akari and Akari pushes him off after insulting him.
He then encountered the Headmasters' servant, Lycas, who brought the participants to the platform. There, Akari was introduced to the other Headmasters, and almost getting injured from a shuriken from one of them. There, the announcement of the start of the Killing Game was made. Akari was in disbelief of such a thing, and wanted to get back home to continue his career as an archer. However, he would not risk his life to kill someone else.
====Chapter One====
After the Headmasters left, everyone else started introducing themselves to each other, but Akari stood in the background, since he isn't the type of person to introduce himself straight away. Akio dragged him into the group only to have Akari slap him. This caused an argument between him and two others, Anais and Daitana. Daitana proceeded to beat him up with her footwear, to which Akari stopped and was about to stab her with one of his arrows. Akio broke this fight up.
After Akio left, he was lectured by Daitana who told him to treat Akio with more care. Akari was unwilling to be nicer but he stated he will at least "try", which made Daitana happy. He then leaves the platform and goes back into the train to be alone.
Later that day, he met Daitan who dragged him out of the train to have fun, even though Akari was not in the mood to "spend his last living moments with fun". He also met Cheshire, who disturbed Akari for her sudden laughter, and Rin. After getting smacked by Daitan, he slapped her very aggressively out of annoyance and being tested. He also meets with Yara and stays with Daitan and Yara for a while before leaving.
He goes to the tunnels where he meets with Anais once again. Anais told him to not care about others' opinions and Akari completely denies the whole premise. There he meets Timothy, who he told to about the Killing Game then broke down. Akio then arrived and comforted Timothy while Akari only left the group. Arriving at the office, he meets AD4M and Vyra, and also encounters Rin and Yara again, and once again encounters two of the Headmasters, Saef and Shojime. After Shojime told the group they were doing this for despair, Akari left the office in disgust.
Akari stayed in the train to have some peace and quiet and cool off. Vyra appears and greets him, to which is responds calmly, much to Vyra's surprise. Sally then shows up who then makes fun of Akari. Once Sally mentioned his parents, Akari turned bitter. Shojime later appears and defends Sally against Akari and Vyra. Sally continues to tease Akari more till the subject was changed to eating bears due to Shojime wanting bear meat. But soon Sally continues making fun of Akari again, calling him "afraid to be seen weak". Shojime also says this and Akari just glared at them. Vyra calls them out for judging them even though they don't know much of them, but Sally and Shojime denies it, saying Akari is holding up a "facade" or "poor act". Akio joins, which made Vyra leave due to the crowded area. Akari goes to insult Akio again, just before Akio complains about being hungry. Akari told him there's food in the office, to which Akio going to the office. Once Akari realized he was alone with the two headmasters, he leaves the train.
He ends up at the platform, and meets Nicola, and encounters Vyra again. Nicola points out the arrows Akari has, to which he responded he uses them for self-defense or competition. Akari also expresses he is not interested in playing the Killing Game the way the headmasters wanted them to. Akari tells Nicola about Akio, how he wanted to get along with others despite the situation. Nicola tells him to look after Akio, saying that he'll regret it since they're cousins, to which he responded Akio doesn't need someone else looking after him. Vyra suggested getting along with just a few people, but Akari completely disagreed, saying he'd rather be alone. Nicola told him to not blame anyone else if Akio ends up dead. Akari said he didn't care if Akio died, and might even kill Akio himself. Vyra snapped at him, which led to insulting him, and telling him that they're family. Akari said that family is only a word to him. Vyra backed off and had a panic attack, Nicola supporting her along with Yara who arrived shortly after. After Vyra calmed down, and after being slightly threatened by Nicola, Akari leaves the area, knowing he can't use violence yet.
He retreats back into the train after a while. He meets Shun and Hirumi. He also encounters Rozu, who he insulted for carrying and talking to a stuffed rabbit named Toto. Shun, unsurprisingly, sided with Rozu since Akari was being harsh. Akio arrives after a while and told the group that the headmasters know everything about the participants. Akari said that they can't do anything about it. Akari insults Akio since he was finally at his breaking point. The group split up afterwards.
Soon, Saef and Shojime gathered everyone together and introduced the motive- the Blood Drive motive. Shojime immediately forced Akari to the station and drew blood from him. To Akari's horror, Shojime proceeded to drink it. Akari left the blood drive station out of disgust.
He stayed in the office alone till Akio came in with his injured leg. Akari then treated his wound and stayed with him, surprisingly comforted him too till Akio fell asleep. After a long while, Vyra arrived in the office, surprised that Akari comforted Akio. She apologized for the threats, even though Akari continued insulting Rozu. After calling Rozu and Vyra stupid, Vyra threw a pebble at Akari's forehead, and Rozu kicked him till he got down, only to stand back up again. Akari then met Cheshire, who had heard about his cruel personality from others. She tries to tell Akari to change his ways, but Akari always refused, which resulted him in leaving the office and going to the bathroom, where he encounters Rin. They talked for a while about their parents, then Rin leaves, leaving Akari cautious.
The next day, Akari went to the station to donate his blood. Afterward, he went back to the train, where he meets Yuna. They talked about the other participants. They surprisingly got along, and plotted a scheme together. The two then talked together some more, and Yuna expressed that she was interested in archery. Akari secretly wished to teach her, and by coincidence, Yuna asked him to teach her. He stated he can't unless he had his bow, Shojime then arrived, gave him his bow, then left again. Yuna and Akari agreed they'll wait for a place to open up so they could practice archery properly. Yuna then decided to go and donate her blood, Akari accompanied her to the station. After she did it, they went to the office to have some food. There, they fell asleep on the office desks.
Akari woke up, quickly finding out that his nails were painted as a prank from Sally. He spends the next 4 hours washing the paint off, there in the bathroom, he meets Rin again and talked to him for a little. There, Rin admits he wanted someone to kill him already so he doesn't have to suffer anymore, before leaving. Akari leaves too, heading to the tunnels, and encountering Hirumi.
====Chapter One Body Discovery and Trial ====
Akari enters the train, meeting with Shun, Yuna, and Rin. They talk for a little before hearing Dahlia's scream. They head to the tunnels, and found Timothy's body. However, Sally showed up and admitted she was the one who killed Timothy, and that it was simply to scare the participants off as an "example". Disgusted, Akari leaves the area.
He stumbles upon the office, where he found another body; Rozu Hasuke. Immediately, he informed the others about it, and began investigating.
During the trial, Eloire Kasparov was discovered as the culprit behind Rozu's death, and was then executed. At the same time, Akari grew disgusted towards Rin's actions at tampering with Rozu's body.
====Chapter Two====
Akari was on his way towards the train when he saw Dahlia, Vyra, and Rin at the platform, with Vyra and Rin tied by Dahlia. Akari talked with the group and called Rin a scum before he gets back into the train.
Later, Akio was there too, and the cousins talked. Akio asked if Akari would kill anyone, to which he responded it would only lead to death. Akio points out Akari is "very good at running from his problems", and Akari said it's nothing compared to escaping a murder. Akio then asks if Akari truly does not care about him, Akari's only answer was "who knows." Akari also said he is not the one to blame if Akio ends up dead, but Akio replied it's better than blaming himself. He said the rest of the Haku family blamed him for Akari running away from home. Akio angrily threw his nunchucks at Akari, saying he can no longer keep it since Akari admitted he does not care about him, telling him "You can go fuck yourself Akari, I'm done fixing us." before leaving the train.
A day after this, the participants, Akari included, were called to the train only to get sedated and brought to Russia, the second setting of the killing game.
Akari spent the majority of Chapter Two inside his izba, constantly having thoughts of "not caring" and "not wanting to hurt anyone". He does rarely leave his izba and meet with others. He even encountered a drunk Akio and Anais and had to lock them in Akio's izba. Akio, of course, grew angry at this and caused a fight between the two.
Eventually the second motive was introduced: the Torture Raffle. During the first day, Daisy was chosen. Akari looked away from the horror that was going to happen, but eventually looked again, immediately regretting. He left the area, petrified by the motive.
During the second and last day of the motive, Akari was shocked when Akio was chosen. Akari had to watch as Akio's torture began. He tried to step in and stop it, but Shojime only injured his wrist, forcing him to back off.
After this incident, Akari avoided seeing Akio and again, spent the majority of his time in his izba. He also heard the news that Vyra and Daisy had gone missing.
====Chapter Two Body Discovery and Trial====
Eventually, during one of the rare times he went out, he saw most of the others going in the church cellar, and he followed out of curiosity. He was shocked and disgusted to see Cheshire feeding an unidentifiable body. Akari joined in the investigation for this murder.
During the trial, they learned that Daisy was the victim... and the culprit at the same time, with the help of Vyra. Despite the blackened already being dead, the Headmasters proceeded with an execution anyways; executing one of their own who tried to betray them: Martha.
After the execution, Shojime suddenly started provoking Akari, saying his trigger word and reminding him of someone named Doctor Okada, who also happened to be Shojime's mentor. To everyone's shock, Shojime had revealed Akari's hidden talent as the Ultimate Assassin. After Shojime had punched him in the face, Akari retreated to his izba.
Shortly after, Hirumi visited him and comforted him. Akari also told her about how he became the Ultimate Assassin in the first place. After Hirumi left, Akari settled that he needs to accept being the Ultimate Assassin, and that he should no longer hide anymore.
====Chapter Three====
Later that day, Akari left his izba and went to the church, where he reencountered Vyra. Vyra had also trusted Akari as a good person and comforted him. Soon after Vyra left, Akio showed up. The two cousins talk it out and made amends, and the two start to get along again. They went to the bar to get something to eat.
Later, the participants were brought to Italy, the third setting of the Killing Game.
Akari met up with Hirumi at the canals, rowing a boat for her. They talked for a while until Rin appeared and mocked him for being a coward. Akio also arrived and Rin threw him at the side of Akari's boat which angered him and made him save Akio. He calms down by fishing with Akio. Eventually he left after a while to change out of his damp clothes.
Later, Akari went to the Colosseum with his fish plush and met with Yuna again. Akari admitted to her he didn't want to be a killer and Yuna comforted him. Akari talked to her about Jeremy, how good of a friend he was and how he had died. Afterward, Akari gave Yuna an archery lesson which they both enjoyed. They then talk about Ichika, and how Akari wanted to reconcile with her. Akari changed the subject and asked if Yuna had any love interests, to which she answers unsure. Akari learns about Yuna's career and mother. After that, Akari opens up to her about his "drastic attempts" and Yuna, again, comforted him. After he finished crying, the two parted ways.
The third motive then introduced Memory Spheres. Shojime forced Akari to eat one, and later on, Akari received Akio's memories.
Later, Akari came to the canals again and meets with AD4M, who asks him to give Akio his Nintendo Switch. They talk for a bit about Italy and their backgrounds. After AD4M left, he met with Hirumi again, noticing she felt down, but Hirumi insists she was alright. They had some small talk before noticing Rin was also at the canals, this time throwing rocks and muttering to himself. They ask what's wrong, and Rin explains how Yara had taken away his Tanto Blade, and also how he got a wound on his arm. After a bit of talk about what might come next, Akari leaves.
Akari heads to the chapel and meets with Alluin, apologizing to him for picking on him back at the subway and calling him egotistical. Alluin points out how his Ultimate Assassin talent was cool, but Akari said he hated it because it hurts people. AD4M arrives later and the three talk for a while until AD4M offers to make food for them. They head to the high-class restaurant and had a good meal. Akari also suggested to AD4M he should eat some too, but AD4M went somewhere else to eat them because he can't eat with his S.D.E.V. 2.0 on. Akari leaves soon afterward.
Later, Akari came upon the colosseum and sees Hiroto attempting it. Akari quickly called Shojime to get him treated, and Shojime willingly takes Hiroto to the headmasters' quarters.
====Chapter Three Body Discovery and Trial====
Akari was in his Villa when he heard the body discovery announcement. He rushed to the chapel and found Daitana's body, horrified. After Yara tried to attempt something, Akari and the others convinced him to stop and Akari found Alluin hanging at the top floor of the chapel. They proceeded to the investigation.
After investigating, they began the third Class Trial. After gathering enough evidence, Akari was shocked to see a piece of evidence matching Yuna, doubting she is the killer. However, Yuna admitted it and mocked Akari for trusting her. Akari felt shattered hearing Yuna would commit murder, especially after how they got along. After Yuna was killed by Ciel, who was formerly posing as Lycas, Akari immediately left the courtroom and cried in his villa until he fell asleep.
====Chapter Four ====
Akari went to the high-class restaurant, seeing Rin there. Normally Akari would not like to see him but because of Yuna's death, he didn't have the energy to get upset and angry. They talked a bit about Yuna and also the motive that affected her. Rin shares him that someone might have got his memories of his sister being killed, and Akari asks what he himself saw, which were unknowingly AD4M's memories. Rin also confesses to Akari that he is actually dual talented, that he is the Ultimate Deceiver. Rin also stated he was jealous of Akari because of how everyone treated him nicely even after his assassin talent was exposed. He also showed that he could change his appearance to anyone as the Ultimate Deceiver. The topic later shifted to their parents, how Akari lost his parents and how Rin never had any. Rin admits to him that his true name is Kenji Kurayami. The two then part ways.
Akari was once again called to the train with the others and brought to America, the fourth set of the Killing Game. They have also introduced a new mechanic, the paintball motive.
Akari was confronted by Shojime in his dorm, who mocked him with Yuna's corpse. Cheshire eventually came in the room and shooed Shojime away. Cheshire instructs Akari to barricade his room door next time.
Akari went to the bar and encounters Akio attempting to shoot him while Akio was also telling him to attempt it again. Akari refused to do so but he also didn't fight back. But he was left stunned when Akio ran out of ammo. Akio asks how long Akari is going to continue acting determined, and Akari answered that he wanted to change for the better. After talking about liquor, Akio snapped at him which made Akari flinch. When Akio was about to leave, Akari expresses how he's worried about him but Akio insists he's fine and tells Akari to be happy before leaving the bar.
Later, Akari came to the school auditorium and meets with Sayo and Rin there. Later, Shun came here as well. Eventually, Kenji sneezed and changed his appearance to Cheshire because of the amount of people here. He then turned to Yara, Akari, Shun, and back to his appearance as Rin. Akari and Rin watched as Sayo taught Toya and trained with him with the paintball guns.
Rin and Akari talked for a bit and Rin fake-cries at Akari, telling him to "tell me your ways" because of how other people treated him. Akio comes in the room, immediately feeling caution and paranoia from Rin. Akari explained to him that they were only talking while watching Sayo and Shun, and the topic shifts to the paintball motive, with Akio calling Yuna an idiot for succumbing to the previous motive, to which Akari disliked. Akari then watched as Rin and Akio talked, spinning in a chair and Akio jumping at how Rin turned to Cheshire so suddenly. He then asks Rin to turn to Akari, and teases at Akari, pretending Rin is Akari. Rin then turns to Akio. Akari eventually left.
Later, a new motive was introduced, the Surgery Motive, where they had to perform tasks on the bodies of the deceased. Shojime announced they will have their first event much later.
Akari came to the city streets and saw Rin and Hiroto, a bit awkward considering what happened to Hiroto before. Rin noticed this and tried to ask but Akari and Hiroto refused to elaborate. Hiroto asks Akari why he saved him, and Akari simply answered with "... Let's just say... I tried doing that too, several times." and "It's simply not right to do such a thing, it won't do you any good." After this, Shojime appeared, and Rin mocks her as a cannibal, which resulted to Shojime threatening to eat Alluin's corpse, knowing that Rin cared about him. After Shojime lectured Hiroto and left, the three talked for a while, with Rin being overly excited when Akari called him his friend.
Akari and Rin then left and went to the bar, and they cooked ramen together. They talked for a while, about friendships and relationships, the two eventually left to their respective dorms.
The participants were then called to the school clinic for the motive, and Shojime gave out the instructions. They succeeded, but Akari harmed Shojime out of anger, which resulted to his bones displaced out of their joints. Akio tended to his wounds and delivered him to his dorm.
Sometime after this, when he had the strength, Akari went to the barbecue alone to prepare soup and have left leftovers in here before returning to his dorm.
==== Chapter Four Body Discovery and Trial====
A few days later, Akari was visited by Rin, and they talked for a while but then they heard Akio scream. Rin helps Akari to the barbecue, where they encounter Akio holding a dying AD4M in his arms. They met up with Vyra, Daitan, and Yara, and hurry to the school clinic, only for it to be too late and AD4M succumbed.
AD4M died to poison in soup, and Akio blamed Akari because he was the one who prepared it.
During the trial, it was revealed that Kenji was the one who had poisoned AD4M, and Akari was deeply hurt at his betrayal. He watched as Kenji was executed. Akari later cried in his dorm.
====Chapter Five====
The participants were called to the train and were again taken to the fifth set of the Killing Game, Mexico. After arriving, Akari immediately headed to his adobe and barricaded it to prevent Shojime from entering.
After a while, Akari leaves and meets with Hirumi in the town square. Akari told Hirumi that he was still a bit weak from the punishment he received and how hurt he is from Kenji's betrayal. Hirumi tries comforting him, but Akari tearfully told her she shouldn't worry about him, and how most of the promises he made or made for him end up being broken because of Yuna and Kenji. Hirumi encourages him that they will eventually find a way out, and that Akari should stay strong. Akari said he will try for her sake and the sakes of the others. Akari then talks to Hirumi about Jeremy, how she reminded Akari of him. Akari told her he hasn't eaten yet since they arrived, and he accidentally falls face first onto the ground when he tried to walk. The two head to the cantina to eat before going back to their adobes.
Akari then headed to the market and reencountered Yara, and they compare themselves from the present to how they were when the Killing Game started. They gave each other their first impressions of each other, Yara admitting he despised Akari before for being mean to Akio, and Akari called Yara a weirdo but a responsible one. Yara expresses how he may have thought he was responsible before he had been traumatized by the several deaths, tortures, and betrayals. He said he was naïve for thinking they could get out, only to be shown the harsh reality. Akari admits he hoped the same despite everything he said about distrust before. Yara expresses how he felt betrayal before by an ex-friend during middle school, who exposed private messages to school bullies. Afterwards, Yara got them a soda each and drank them before Saef, who was demoted from a headmaster during the previous trial, came into the market. Akari simply followed Yara as he pranks and jumps at Saef, scaring her. Yara asks how is she, to which she answered she was trying to get over a hangover, which reminded Akari of that one incident with Akio and Anais when they were both drunk. Akari then leaves the two alone to talk.
The next day, the participants were introduced to the Assassin Motive, where each of them was given a specific unknown target they could kill for automatic freedom. After the motive announcement, Akari follows Cheshire to the cantina to help her get bagels. The two were walked in on by Akio, or rather Kioji, who mocked him for being naïve. Cheshire comes into Akari's defense before she eventually leaves and Akari swore he would never kill. Akari runs away out of fear.
After this incident, Akari visits Akio's adobe, hoping to talk to him. However, upon arriving, Akari finds Akio's door unlocked and his adobe empty, fearing something happened to him.
==== Chapter Five Crime ====
During the middle of the night while Akari was asleep, he woke up to sounds of someone trying to open his door, but was unable to get inside due to it being locked and barricaded. The noises stop, and curiously, Akari opens the door and peeks out, seeing Dahlia leaving, covered in blood and holding Rin's Tanto Blade.
Realizing that Dahlia is on a murder spree, Akari kills her with an arrow and brings her corpse to her adobe.
==== Chapter Five Body Discovery and Trial ====
Akari spent a long time in his adobe, worried sick about Akio, until eventually he leaves to find him.
He arrives at the train tracks, where he unexpectedly found Kenji's body. He screams out of shock, and both Saef and Vyra arrives. Shojime also appears briefly, saying that it was unexpected even for her. Cheshire also arrives at the scene shortly after Shojime left. After a little skirmish between Vyra and Cheshire about Shun, Akari notices a bloody trail and follows Vyra inside the train and towards the front carriage, where she discovers Sayo's body.
Cheshire arrives shortly after investigating briefly in the hospital with Saef, and Yara also arrives. Shojime appears again and expresses how the front carriage was not supposed to be accessible to the participants, and that she has not seen the other two headmasters enter here. This leads to Cheshire proposing a theory that one of the participants has a higher power, a mastermind.
Akari accompanies Vyra as the two began investigating, eventually finding Dahlia's corpse in their own adobe. Saef runs in after hearing the body discovery announcement. Vyra eventually faints out of frustration, and both Akari and Saef began investigating in Dahlia's adobe and the hospital, where they briefly ran into Sally and Hiroto, who left in a hurry. Shojime then appeared and told Akari and Saef how she has not had access to the hospital before. Akari asks how many murderers are present, to which Shojime does not answer but instead tells him that only the first murderer will be the true blackened if there are multiple.
During the trial, Akari was shocked when Akio appeared. However, Akio is being held hostage by Shojime and she refuses to let him go unless they fully solve the case. The participants eventually found out that Dahlia was responsible for Kenji's and Sayo's deaths, and Akari was responsible for Dahlia's death. They also found out that Sally and Hiroto saved Kenji from his execution and were the ones who treated his wounds in the hospital.
Due to the rules, Akari was never given a punishment when the participants voted for Dahlia, and Akari confesses that he had to kill her because she was persuaded by the Assassin Motive.
After Shojime attempted to execute Hiroto for breaking the rules (saving Kenji who was supposed to be executed), Vyra interfered and saved Hiroto, which frustrated Shojime. Akari berates at Shojime for being a hypocrite when it comes to following and breaking rules. Shojime promises Akari that Akio will be let go later, and Akari retreats to his adobe.
Akari was later visited by Cheshire, who wanted to check on Akari since the both of them killed someone without being punished, with both of them hating their actions but Cheshire grew to accept them. Cheshire also apologizes that she was the first who suspected Akari for killing Dahlia, but Akari forgives her since it was for Akio's own good. They talk for a while, saying that they could understand each other a little better compared to before, and Cheshire tells him how she is planning to go on her own way after they escape, planning to find "Mister Hero".
==== Chapter Six ====
The next day, Akari arrives in the town square and is relieved when he sees Akio well. Akio told him that he was kept in the back carriage of the train when Shojime kidnapped him. Akari also realized that Shojime took Akio hostage because Shojime wanted a fair trial and that Akari shouldn't confess his crime to make things more interesting. Akio told Akari that Sally and Hiroto tried to save Kenji to end the Killing Game and give everyone hope, but had not expected that Kenji would have died at Dahlia's hands. After a bit of a serious discussion, Akio decided to lighten the mood by pointing out how surprised he is that Akari doesn't have many girls and boys fawning over him, then he jokes about Akari being gay and asks if he had any male friends, to which Akari depressingly answered that Kenji died, Yara and he are acquainted, and he has yet to talk more to Shun. When Akio pointed out how he misses his Nintendo Switch, Akari remembered that AD4M gave it to him a long time ago. The cousins head to Akari's adobe and the two played a video game together before Akio leaves.
Akari was once again called to the train with the others and brought to the headquarters of the Remnants of Despair in Japan, the sixth and final set of the Killing Game.
Not comfortable with having a cell as his sleeping quarters, Akari goes into the emergency room and sees Hiroto on the floor. After he helps him, he learns from Hiroto that Shojime had taken hostage of Vyra. Hiroto tells Akari he wanted to help the participants but Akari tells him to take his time, as Hiroto had just gotten out of execution. Hiroto questions why he was chosen to host the Killing Game as a Headmaster, and Akari told him that things will turn out better. Hiroto tells Akari that he plans to call everyone to the emergency room later, and Akari keeps that in mind as he leaves the room.
Akari headed to his cell to rest, but his sleep was interrupted by Akio and Yara from the shrine. Not being able to fall back asleep, Akari went to the kitchen, encountering a bothered Hirumi. Shortly after he arrived, Yara and Akio came into the kitchen as well, with Yara immediately falling asleep out of exhaustion. After cooking for Akio, Akari brings Akio to bed and stays with him.
==== Chapter Six Trial and Killing Game Ending ====
Akari was called by Hiroto along with the other participants to the emergency room. Hiroto announces that he plans to end the Killing Game with one final investigation and Class Trial, but he has yet to seek the approval of Shojime, the leading Headmaster. Shojime and Sally arrive, and Hiroto bargains with her for one final trial. Shojime agrees, under the condition that if they do not find the ones behind the game, then as per the rules, the Killing Game will continue until there are only 2 survivors left. Akari once again berates Shojime, swearing that they will find the Mastermind and escape. However, Shojime took it as a challenge and allows them until tomorrow morning to investigate.
Akari, accompanied by Hirumi and Akio, investigates the train back carriage first before Hirumi leaves the group and the cousins venture to the security room, meeting up with a free Vyra, and surprisingly an alive Lycas, who had faked his death back during Yuna's trial. After Lycas taunted the group and both he and Vyra left, Akari and Akio checked the security recordings from America, discovering Kenji was not AD4M's true killer. Hirumi returns to the group and they bring an emotional Akio to bed. Akari stays with Akio to accompany him while he leaves Hirumi and the others to investigate.
During the trial, they discovered that Anais was the Traitor. She took part in framing Kenji for AD4M's death, but he was not the only one. Hirumi confesses to Saef and the others that she is also a Traitor, the same as Anais and that she had also taken part in framing Kenji.
Akari realizes later in the trial that Akio is the Mastermind and AD4M's true killer. Akio admits it freely but after he injures Akari, he attempts to kill not only all of the participants but also the Headmasters and himself, revealing that their courtroom is a train that had been traveling from country to country as the game progressed and that he plans to kill them by a train crash.
However, the Future Foundation arrives and saves the participants and headmasters via helicopter. But seeing that Akio refused to board, Akari urges and begs him to join them, not wanting for them to part, only to be pushed away and forced by Akio to board the helicopter without him. Akari watched helplessly as Akio dies alone in the train crash. From this moment on, Akari swore that he would live on for Akio, and the group arrives at the Future Foundation.
===Post Killing Game Events===
For the next few weeks, Akari rested in the Future Foundation along with some of the participants and headmasters, befriending Ryu, Akio's ex-fiance. He also grew closer to Vyra.
Akari made it his goal that he would find Ichika, who he assumes is in a Killing Game. Despite not being employed by the Future Foundation, Akari does favors for them such as searching for survivors or scouting out areas.
