Dummies

**Dummies** (ダミーズ, *Damīzu*?) is the collective name referring to a group of supposed dolls of participants who died during the First Trial of the Death Game.

The Dummies are presented as AI uploaded into doll replicas of First Trial victims who have had no previous relationship with any of the surviving members. That is why Megumi Sasahara and Kugie Kizuchi, who knew Keiji Shinogi and Kanna Kizuchi, respectively, weren't included. And how an impostor of Hinako Mishuku was easily able to take her place since the survivors were unaware that the real Hinako had unknowingly forged a relationship with one of them.

## Partners

* Ranmaru to Sara
* Hinako to Keiji
* Kurumada to Kanna/Shin
* Mai to Q-taro
* Anzu to Reko/Alice
* Hayasaka to Gin

## Role and support

Because the Dummies' minds were artificially recreated, ASU-NARO is able to pick and choose what they "remember." The exact reason Sara is special, for example, was kept from Hayasaka, whose human-self resented and cursed Sara's existence just as he was executed in his First Trial. They were also given individual information with the illusionary idea that they'd all been told the same information together.

Midori, as the Floor Master of floor 4 and floor 5, ran a Sub-Game called the "Murderer Game." He had the Dummies created to partner with the remaining survivors while aiming to undermine them. The goal of the Murderer Game is to kill Midori. However, if he is killed, the Dummies will also die. Despite mostly being dolls, they are imbued with a sense of "living" and have as much of a survival instinct as any human.

They are partnered by their collars when a red laser light connects them through a so-called "red-string of fate."

## Base info

When awakened by Midori the dolls were all given information about the Murderer Game that they were told to tell the survivors as he "couldn't be bothered" to do so himself.

* Hayasaka - Obstructors are dolls who are meant to impede the dummies' objective and come after their lives (told after the first obstuctor fight)
* Ranmaru - If the people in a pair get some distance apart, the support's collars will activate, and their heads will fly off
* Hinako - The requirements for the dummies being picked is that they are dead people who never had any contact with the survivors
* Kurumada - Monsters are lurking on floor 4 (and 5)
* Mai - The dummies' real selves died in the first trial and they were shown the moment of their deaths on Victim Videos after being revived as dolls
* Anzu - Unknown (Forgotten)

## Special info

The Dummies were also given unique information directly downloaded into their memories. Due to this the others don't know their specific info and at first, they were unaware of which information was exactly different among them.

* Hayasaka - The paired collars can go as far as a room apart.
* Ranmaru - There's a human from Asunaro among them.
* Hinako - Using Midori's ID card, you might be able to disable another layer of security.
* Kurumada - If a Floor Master meets their doppelganger, they die.
* Mai - Unknown (Never said out loud)
* Anzu - Unknown (Never said out loud)

## Trivia

* The "red string of fate" is based on an East Asian belief that is usually implied to romantically connect one to their "true love." It's usually depicted as an invisible red cord around the finger.
* The original Japanese name of the Dummies in Kimi ga Shine Bangai-hen: Seizon Shima, "ウミーズ, *Umīzu*?", is a pun on うみ, *umi*?, meaning ocean, and a modification on the word "Dummies". vgperson named them "Sunnies" to keep the pun with the beach theme.
