Description
Yōhei Shibusawa possesses thundercloud-gray hair and dark grey eyes, his muscular physique honed through dedicated physical training to bolster stamina for his talent. He typically wears the standard school uniform, though occasionally appears in a tightly-fitted black shirt and grey sweatpants.
Personality-wise, he presents as cold-hearted, ruthless, and arrogant, adhering to strict personal principles. He reacts strongly to perceived improprieties, particularly disliking loud or slow eaters, contributing to social isolation and experiences of bullying. Beneath this exterior lies a deep-seated sense of justice and idealism; he fervently believes his talent uniquely positions him to reform society by eliminating global poverty and prejudice. Despite his self-assuredness, he demonstrates moments of humility, such as considering someone a friend after they correctly identify his true ability, revealing a desperation for genuine connection. He also commits to defending vulnerable individuals when possible.
His talent involves traveling back in time, initially rumored among peers as the ability to "stop time." It operates under strict limitations: he can only revisit events within the past 24 hours; traveling further back causes greater physical drain; and he must remain unnoticed during the journey—direct recognition, like eye contact, immediately returns him to the present. Any changes he makes overwrite existing memories and events. Upon completion, he reappears precisely where he departed.
Within the narrative, he faces routine bullying, such as being knocked off a bridge into water despite stating he cannot swim. He forms a brief alliance with Nana Hiiragi after she deduces his true talent, proposing they collaborate to reshape the world. During investigations into a classmate’s disappearance, he repeatedly uses his power to gather information, traveling back to confirm if the missing student returned to the dormitory and retracing steps near a cliffside where the student was last seen. Each journey leaves him progressively more exhausted.
He later agrees to Nana’s request to travel back 24 hours and intervene in the classmate’s alleged death near a river, supposedly caused by an "Enemy of Humanity." Unaware of Nana’s trap—where she covered a frozen section of the river with dirt to obscure the ice—he travels back and falls through the weakened ice. Extreme fatigue from previous time jumps prevents escape, resulting in his drowning in the past. His final promise to return with the missing classmate remains unfulfilled.
