Description
Follow is a character from the anime Corrector Yui, where he is known as Corrector Software No. 7, the Compiler. He is one of the eight sentient programs created by Professor Inukai to help maintain the ComNet. Follow is introduced alongside his friend, Peace, in a secluded area of a marine adventure simulation created by Yui's father. His physical appearance is notably that of a large, fat individual. His apparent age is estimated to be around 28 years old.
Personality-wise, Follow is distinguished by a playful, sweet, and almost childish demeanor. He is described as someone who is funny, enjoys joking around, and has a generally fun-loving and diverting nature. This lighthearted personality is a core part of his character, making him an amusing presence. A key aspect of his personality is that he likes Yui immediately upon meeting her, with his stated reason being that "she is cute". This instant affection seems to be genuine and motivates him to help her.
Follow's primary and most notable ability is mimicry. He has the power to transform into practically anyone. The scope of this ability goes beyond mere physical imitation, as he can also copy some of the abilities belonging to the person he is mimicking. While useful, this power can sometimes be a nuisance to others; for example, he teases the Corrector named Freeze by transforming into another Corrector, Rescue. Beyond his transformative powers, Follow possesses the largest memory capacity of all the Correctors. This technical attribute highlights his value as a storage and data management unit.
In the story, Follow's role is to aid Yui, the human Corrector, in her mission to protect the ComNet from threats like the villain Grosser. When he lends his power to Yui, it allows her to access and activate her Earth Element Suit. This is a significant shift from her default Fairy or Basic Element Suit, and it also greatly changes her power level and, in a unique side effect, her physical weight while transformed. This indicates that Follow's core function is tied to the element of earth and provides Yui with substantial physical strength.
Follow's key relationships are primarily with other Correctors and with Yui. He is noted to be a good friend of Peace, another Corrector program. Their close bond is highlighted by the fact that Yui meets both of them at the same time. His relationship with Yui is built on his immediate fondness for her, making him a willing and loyal ally. His interactions with other Correctors are colored by his playful nature, particularly when he uses his mimicry to tease them. A humorous example of his personality is a scene in the second season where he proposed to the Corrector IR while dressed as a handsome young man, or bishonen.
Regarding his development, specific details about a significant character arc for Follow are not prominently featured in the available information. However, his introduction as a Corrector who chooses to trust Yui and lend her his power is a crucial moment, both for the episode's conflict and for the overall mission to gather all eight programs. This act demonstrates his willingness to move past his secluded existence to support a greater cause. In a more general sense, the series treats the Correctors as artificial beings who, under Yui's influence, grow beyond their initial 0 or 1 programming to develop more flexible personalities and stronger camaraderie, a development in which Follow would naturally share.
