Description
Daiju Mononobe holds the position of Seleção No. 1 in Mr. Outside's game. A former bureaucrat with deep connections to Japanese political leaders, he becomes an executive at the ATO Institution, focused on neuroscience. Mononobe believes Japan has succumbed to apathy fueled by post-war prosperity and American influence. To rescue the nation, he orchestrates large-scale terrorist attacks, including the Careless Monday missile strikes, intending to galvanize the population through manufactured crisis.
Though viewing the Seleção game as trivial, Mononobe pursues victory with ruthless calculation. His ambition extends beyond winning; he plans to replace the presumed-dead Mr. Outside and overthrow Japan's government, establishing an authoritarian regime that elevates state power above individual liberty. He identifies and manipulates other Seleção members, claiming knowledge of nine participants and Mr. Outside's nature. He attempts to recruit Seleção No. 9, Akira Takizawa, by exploiting Takizawa's quest to regain lost memories, positioning himself as a mentor offering shared rule in a new Japan.
Mononobe weaponizes state power, directing the Public Security Department against the Eden group and proposing a "100% Inheritance Tax Bill" to sabotage Takizawa's efforts. During later events, he accelerates his campaign to dismantle the game, ordering the destruction of other Seleção's Juiz units. After Takizawa intercepts trailers containing both their Juiz systems, Mononobe confronts him. Facing defeat, he offers Takizawa a deal: his withdrawal from Japan, remaining funds, and halting the Eden investigation in exchange for peace.
Takizawa rejects the offer. As Mononobe departs, he encounters the mentally unstable Yuuki (Seleção No. 5) seeking vengeance. Memory-wiped after Mr. Outside ended the game, Mononobe fails to recognize Yuuki. Fleeing the gunfire, he crashes his car. His ultimate survival remains unknown. Mononobe operates with cold strategy, convinced his radical ends justify violent means and manipulation to achieve societal transformation.
