Description
Shuji Nakaumi is an orphan with a slim, bony frame and noticeable dark circles under his dull, jaded eyes. His thin hair, described as either cobalt blue or black, frequently covers the right side of his face. Indoors, he prefers to walk barefoot and typically dresses in casual attire, such as a royal blue shirt with white sleeves and gray sweatpants. After attaining godhood, his appearance changes significantly, gaining long hair, a muscular physique, swirled eyes, and an angelic aura.
Introverted and stoic, he holds a firm belief in euthanasia, maintaining that individuals who genuinely wish to die should have the right to do so. This philosophy shapes his actions after being chosen as a God candidate by the angel Ogaro. Utilizing the Red Arrow’s ability to induce obsessive love in its targets, he facilitates the suicides of his parents and grandfather, instructing them to act on their suppressed desires. He nearly repeats this with his older brother before other characters intervene.
Initially sympathetic to Professor Gaku Yoneda’s ideologies, he temporarily wields White Arrows—lethal projectiles—under an agreement between Ogaro and Yoneda. He uses these to threaten hostages but later abandons them after Yuri Temari persuades him to reject Yoneda’s violent methods.
His most significant role occurs during the climax of the God selection process. Following a confrontation involving Mirai Kakehashi and Saki Hanakago, he volunteers to become God, motivated by a desire to eliminate human suffering. As the new deity, he struggles to reconcile his consciousness with the previous God’s, ultimately rejecting the latter’s detached perspective. Convinced that humanity’s inherent darkness makes existence irredeemable, he impales himself with a White Arrow, committing deicide. This act causes the dissolution of all angels and initiates the gradual extinction of humanity, beginning with the youngest individuals. His self-destruction fulfills a larger scheme tied to the angels’ hidden agenda, concluding the cycle of divine succession.
Throughout his development, his motivations remain focused on ending suffering, whether through individual euthanasia or universal annihilation. His evolution from a withdrawn orphan to a self-sacrificing deity reflects themes of despair, free will, and the moral complexities of mercy.
