Pinocchio embodies the core concept of "Dependence," defined by his inability to function autonomously. He wields a sentient staff that verbally abuses him, symbolizing his reliance on external guidance. This staff moves independently, dictating Pinocchio's actions and rendering him incapable of independent decision-making. His combat dialogue frequently expresses reluctance and fear, exemplified by phrases like "I just do whatever my staff tells me to do" and "I don't like fighting...," underscoring his subservience.
Originating from Geppetto's puppet tale, Pinocchio's Library narrative begins in the "Act of Impulse," fighting nightmares to revive his author, Geppetto. His dependency intensifies through subsequent arcs. The "Act of Reality" explores his human counterpart—a student whose life descends into chaos, culminating in suicide, mirroring the broader theme of predestined suffering.
The "Act of Fusion" marks a turning point: Pinocchio gains freedom from his metaphorical chains but actively seeks renewed dependence, unable to cope with autonomy, highlighting his psychological paradox. In the "Act of Elimination," he confronts his Reality self—described as "Dependence and Dependence." Both versions lack self-determination, clinging to guiding voices—one "boisterous" (the staff) and the other "tranquil" (implied as Geppetto or fate).
His design emphasizes helplessness and manipulation. His primary weapon features a talking, cursed head that sprouts limbs, reinforcing his lack of control. Early concepts portrayed a "properly raised" appearance contrasted with eerie elements like a floating bag. His color association is "Sulu Green," reflected in his lifeforce and weapons.
In spin-offs like the manga, Pinocchio possesses the supernatural ability "Green Thumb," though its mechanics remain unspecified. He participates in events such as "Dorothy's Workshop" and the "Dream Festival of Nightmares," aligning with other characters in collaborative efforts despite his passivity.
His story concludes in the "Act of Elimination," where he is killed alongside most characters. His Library self dies permanently, while interdimensional events later alter his Reality self's fate, sparing him from his original suicide, reflecting the narrative's themes of cyclical tragedy and fractured redemption.
