## Personality

Throughout the Wolf Game Rintarou's personality and thoughts appears unreadable to the other participants. Often speaking in a lighthearted, playful tone adding a "♪" to the ends of his sentences, coming off as innocent. However opposed to this personality Rintarou makes sharp comments towards the others which stick out against his normal speech.

Rintarou will often tease the others during downtime and investigations to rile them up. He never appears to be a big help during investigations often talking about or doing something else. Though he often acts childish, Rintarou is shown to be very intelligent, often thinking far in advance with his plans. His wits do not go unnoticed as many characters point out how he seems to be the most dangerous out of all the participants. Rinatrou often uses this to his advantage to catch the other's off guard within trials, sometimes being very useful to Yukinari, while other times working against him.

In episode 6 Rintarou's true personality comes out, he's shown to be very hateful and angry. His revenge plan being one of the only things on his mind, this resentment he holds towards the others boiling over during the death match. There appears to be hints of a sadistic nature in his actions of following Yukinari around after shooting him in the leg, and his uncaring attitude after admitting to killing Takuya. However this is not fully the case, while in the moments of the death match Rintarou seems to be set on killing all of the other participants, in his side story it is shown that throughout the Wolf Game he was doubting the games meaning even thinking of backing out of it a few times. In his side story is it also revealed that killing Takuya had a serious effect on how he views himself, seeing the image of himself and Yuuya overlap, he grows severely panicked and anxious.

Rintarou's thoughts, actions, and motivations are constantly conflicting with one another. While he hates the people he put in the Wolf Game, it's shown that he wants them to change as people. Which was the motivation for the escape condition, and in Kou's side story episode 12 he appears to be genuinely happy with how Kou changes after letting him live. Rintarou's emotions seem to easily change, from being full of anger ready to kill during the death match, changing to grief and despair after killing harming Misaki or having a panic attack after killing Takuya. His personality and emotions appear to have mellowed out after meeting Kanata, becoming less easily overtaken by emotions. Parts of his played-up facade are shown to be real parts of his personality, still speaking with a "♪" at the end of his sentences, and being able to lightly joke around.

He is shown to be incredibly protective of his sister Misaki, going out of his way to make sure she is protected during the wolf game by creating a fake execution for her so she can hide in the buildings secret room. They care for each other dearly for each other being the only family they have left, it is shown in Rintarou's side in Kou's side story that Rintarou had planned on leaving to fulfill his plans alone not wanting to hurt Misaki any further, however Misaki followed him. Rintarou is shown not wanting Misaki to suffer or be sad because of his actions, even considering calling off the wolf game as per her suggestion. He wants the best for Misaki going out of his way to try and carry her body out of the burning building, before realizing he has to let her stay. Her final words to him are what motivate him to change following her death, he carries her red ribbon to remember her always.

Rintarou can be described as idealistic in his plans, thinking of the goals of his ideas rather than anything else. In both Rintarou's side story and Kou's side story he's shown coming up with grand plans, while not being sure they will play out perfectly.

### Chapter 6

He, Yukinari and Kou are the last remaining participants. They enter a room which's door says "Last Door". Merry and Wolfe says they are going to have a life and death duel. There three guns with six bullets each and Rintarou, Yukinari and Kou must draw cards which determine in what order they get to leave. Rintarou draws the card with number 3 and is the last one to leave.

While Yukinari is hiding in the library's closet, Rintarou and Kou are having a conversation in the same room. Kou threatens to shoot him however Rintarou tells him to wait a moment and asks if he has realized the truth of the game. Kou says it's related to the murder incident five years ago and Rintarou tells him thats correct. Kou continues, saying he had nothing to do with that case, however Rintarou says he's wrong. Kou once again says he wasn't involved but Rintarou presses him to tell the truth but Kou calls him annoying and tells him to shut up and then a gunshot is head followed by a thud. Rintarou shot Kou and then left the room.

Once Yukinari reaches the plant room he opens the door and then turns around, seeing Rintarou standing behind him and a gun pointed at him. Yukinari lifts the gun and shoots towards Rintarou but then realizes Rintarou shot him in the leg and once he looks back at Rintarou he sees he completely missed him. Rintarou tells him to run and lifts up the gun again, aiming it at Yukinari and Yukinari bolts out of the room.

Rintarou follows Yukinari's trail of blood to the hospital room, telling him he's coming in. Rintarou is trying to find Yukinari and once he gets close to the gas tanks Yukinari shoots them. There's an explosion and Rintarou let's out a startled scream and falls down. Yukinari leaves his hiding spot and puts a gun up to Rintarou's head but hesitates. He opens his eyes and tells Yukinari he can pull the trigger right now and kill him, staring right at him. Rintarou and Yukinari proceed to talk about the murder incident five years ago. Rintarou confirming his parents were the ones who were killed and he was one of the two children which shocks Yukinari. Rintarou then proceeds to ask Yukinari if he understands that the Wolf Game is his revenge plan. Yukinari asks why they are the ones participating when Yuuya was the one who committed the crime, Rintarou says Yuuya was the one who killed them directly but everyone else in the Wolf Game also played a part in that crime and reveals how everyone is related to the incident. Yukinari confirms that he, Ritsu and Takuya abandoned Rintarou's family on that fateful day. Rintarou asks him if something like that has happened before which makes Yukinari hesitate, Rintarou then says they investigated him before the start of the game and asks if he indeed abandoned his old friend. Yukinari asks why he brings that up but Rintarou doesn't answer his question and continues speaking, he says that friend committed suicide because of him and asks if he regrets that. Yukinari is unable to respond and Rintarou keeps speaking, saying Yukinari keeps running away from everything, he was involved in the murder incident and he once again ran away. Rintarou asks what he is going to do, will he run away again just like in elementary school and on the train, will he kill him and be happy. Yukinari says Rintarou doesn't know him then continues and says if he kills him he wins. There's two options, to shoot Rintarou or not to shoot him.

#### Neutral End

If the former option is chosen Yukinari tries to pull the trigger but is shot and falls of Rintarou. Rintarou says it's such a pity and starts crying. The person who shot Yukinari is on the doorway saying it couldn't be helped and Rintarou agrees with them. The person and Rintarou speak to each other, the figure says Yukinari hasn't changed at all which makes Yukinari ask what they mean and if they didn't plan on letting them escape. Rintarou through tears says that's wrong and explains they all had a chance to escape and the mysterious figure confirms that. Rintarou says the game wasn't just an act of revenge, it was also a test. A test to see if everyone has changed.
