## Physical description

### Pronouns

He/him

Gou Kirimi is one of the main three antagonists in MARIKINonline4, and is the first antagonist that Sigkin meets along his journey (excluding Morikaze).

## Appearance

He is very well known to wear a blue fish hat with bright yellow sclera and red pupil. He wears a long-sleeved white suit that drapes over his sides with blue jeans and gold highlights.

Once the main story is completed and you begin post-game, Kirimi uses an ancient superweapon material called *maidonium* to strengthen himself. Red veins spread over his left eye and gains a robot arm, purple and red with a distinct muscular shape. This robot arm can change shapes such as a revolver gun or multiple sharp tendrils used offensively in combat. His fish mask is sliced in half and discarded to reveal his true face.

## Personality

Kirimi has an offsetting personality, often speaking in straight, polite lines, but carries malicious intent underneath. He shows the same hatred for Sigkin and all his friends as Jeraldy and Jungle do. He views others as tools for his success, and does not seem to be bothered by the sight of blood or violence. He is shown to have manipulative tendencies, such as convincing Adukin that he could make her stronger, only to take her captive and use for Project A.

 During post-game he goes mad, laughing while revealing his plans to destroy the world, all the while pretending to be injured by the fight with Sigkin only to have the maidonium in his system completely cancel out any actual damage.

## Biography

Kirimi, alongside Jeraldy and Jungle, lived in the Gapanese Empire for the majority of his life, until it was burned down by Sigkin under Bachikin’s command in MO3. During the fire, he risked his life to save Jeraldy and Jungle by throwing himself at Sigkin to distract him for a bit. Sigkin used his scythe to slash Kirimi’s eye (which is consequently maimed).

During the conversation, Gou says that he expected the party to come, as Fwansowa was in contact with him. Fwansowa wants MDCR for his plans, but Gou only wants his smuggling routes. Gou has no intention whatsoever to revive MDCR. Sigkin gets tired of this, and goes on to attack him. He slashes off Gou’s fish mask, saying to give up that goal. Sigkin goes in to attack again, but his scythe was grabbed by a different hand. Gou pushes him back, and reveals that his left arm has Vanitas’ Maidonium. Laughing maniacally, Gou reveals that thanks to Sigkin, he defeated Vanitas, and Gou was able to retrieve the machine to reboot the third ancient weapon.

Adukin mentions her experience with Vanitas, that she couldn’t resist and was dragged into hatred. Gou explains that people like her can’t possible accept the endless vindictiveness of the slaughtered Gapanese people that the Vanitas Maidonium contained. He goes on to say how he was also administering Maidonium to Jeraldy, without him noticing. As someone with a soul with hatred can only control the ancient weapons, but also so that Jeraldy wouldn’t back down. Gou managed to stay sane in the beginning, as thanks to Sigkin, he learned how to not be consumed by hatred.

 Gou looks to have been defeated, but in an instant, he undos all the damage. Koritora realizes that the soul of hatred that Vanitas possesses is an inexhaustible source of energy that repeatedly regenerates itself, and so the party pretty much wasted a lot of energy. Gou, seemingly to have been entertained, reveals more of his plans.

Mocking humanity, he says he was gonna use Fwansowa to spread a large amount of Hellhounds around the world to cause indiscriminate terrorism. The moment he turns on the third ancient weapon, the destruction of slaughter of the world’s scattered Hellhounds will begin. Thankfully, Sigkin and co. already put a pause on the Hellhound exports. Gou acknowledges this, saying that in the past, without Jeraldy’s acknowledgement, he sold a bunch of Hellhounds to a wealthy man in a country as a test. While those Hellhounds don’t have a self-destruct and their laser powers are inferior, they’ll still be excellent at killing off humans.

Gou’s plans seemed to have already begun, and Sigkin panics a bit. Gou blatantly tells him that the country was Uri Rays. O’ Saar, who was listening in, rushes to get his men and to get the Ikenumas on the radio. Gou mocks Jeraldy for spending his entire life trying to get revenge, only to fail and be used as a tool by someone he trusted. He laughs, when Adukin punches him right in the face. Unsatisfied, she punches him again, angered that he only sees other as disposable tools. Gou gets up, stating that not matter what they do, the outcome won’t change.

The third ancient weapon starts to get summoned, and Adukin gets a horrifying flashback. She snaps out of it thanks to Bachikin, but now the party faces “Carpe Diem”, the third ancient weapon. It starts floating, Gou telling Sigkin that this place wasn’t for him, and will be waiting at Uri Rays. The clones start doing 60 second self-destruct countdown, Gou saying that Sigkin has the decision to leave alone.

Gou Kirimi leaves in a blink of an eye.
