![]() ![]() ![]() The consequences of opposing Shido can range from lawsuits against anyone who irritates him, death threats, and in severe cases, he even outright assassinates them. He despises anyone who gets in his way or irritates him, no matter how fleeting. Even after his defeat, he still believes that he is the stronghold of the country and the only person fit to guide it. He embraces his dark aspects fully, that his Shadow initially matches his real person in attire. Shido is utterly self-assured of his fundamental righteousness, believing that he is favored and chosen by "God" to rule over Japan and steer it into a golden age where people will fear the Japan he envisions. By the end of Strikers, his whole political foundation is easily overturned even by standard law enforcement without the conductor's backing. Shido's abnormally high popularity is heavily suggested to be artificially engineered by the conductor as a part of his experiments on humanity details about him and his background are surprisingly scarce, and nobody used to take him seriously as anything other than a minor and corrupt politician. In fact, he's only interested in himself and his most obedient lapdogs while the rest of its people are irrelevant even if they fall into ruin (in fact, the cognition of his Palace heavily implies that he believes that anyone save for his most loyal associates have no rights to exist.) The public also only voted for him because he was supposedly the only choice for premiership while some are swayed by his speech-craft, others do it for no apparent or valid reason. He proves this point by quite literally going out of his way to snuff out anyone he deems "suspicious." In reality, everything he says cannot be farther from the truth: to put it bluntly, he is actually a profoundly arrogant man with a savior complex who only cares about his own ideals and beliefs of the world, inflating his self-worth as a vessel and excuse to maintain that, built on delusional beliefs than only he can run the country and that he was "chosen." He would in turn reject the individuality of the entirety of Japan, mocking and looking down on them as collectively ignorant and foolish that alone making him the most dangerous target in the game. According to him, Japan is in severe financial and diplomatic weakness, and only by voting him to the seat of prime minister can Japan be saved and the children of the nation live in a happy future. He has a craft for giving passionate speeches that inspire the masses and speaks frankly on his opinions of current matters, making him seem more believable and credible. To the eyes of the public, Shido is a skilled speaker who ultimately entrances them into supporting him using his influential speech-craft. In his final "true" form, his muscles bulge even further, which shatters the springs and turns his skin red, and he emits a dark-violet aura. Springs that resemble an exercise harness wrap all around his upper body, and he emits a red aura. In his second form, he rips away his upper clothing and headgear, revealing heavily built muscles. As the Beast is damaged, it reconfigures itself into the "Wings of Human Sacrifices" (人柱の王翼, Hitobashira no Ouyoku) ? (the previous form with bird's wings) and then the "Tomb of Human Sacrifices" (人柱の王墓, Hitobashira no Oubo) ? (a pyramid which resembles the Eye of Providence with a high-caliber cannon replacing its eye) before it is destroyed and he fights directly. ![]() He initially does not transform himself after becoming Samael, instead summoning a golden lion, made of humanoid figures, called the "Beast of Human Sacrifices" (人柱の王獣, Hitobashira no Oujū) ? as a mount. His spiked helmet resembles the Statue of Liberty or Principality. Once he boards his golden mount, he dons a black army general uniform with long cape, long white gloves, and knee-high white boots. ![]() Shadow Shido initially appears identical to his real world counterpart. He wears a business suit and a pair of orange-tinted square glasses. Shido is a tall, bald man with a small black goatee. ![]()
