Description
Ryuuji Maesaka, 21, participates in Darwin's Game. Initially joining with his younger brother for financial gain, his motivation turns to revenge after Wang and the Eighth clan murder his brother during gameplay. This pursuit of vengeance shapes his early actions and distrust of collaboration.
He has long blonde or light brown hair. In combat, he dons a skull-patterned mask, black battle helmet, and tactical gear including bulletproof body armor beneath a black trench coat. His primary weapon is an RPD light machine gun, supplemented by a concealed handgun. He operates an armored Humvee for clan missions.
Ryuuji's sigil, "Truth or Lie" (dubbed "BS Detector"), detects falsehoods in spoken statements—but only if the speaker knows their statement is untrue. Initially disliking its non-combat nature, he compensates with firearms expertise, tactical armor, and environmental awareness.
Personality-wise, Ryuuji shows fierce loyalty and protectiveness toward allies while remaining wary of figures like Liu Xuelan. He adheres to a strict code of repaying debts, as seen when acknowledging Hiiragi Ichirou's aid. Early vengeful drives fuel blunt communication and confrontational behavior, though after joining the Sunset Ravens, he shifts focus to clan safety and order enforcement.
During the Shibuya Treasure Hunt, learning of Eighth's involvement prompts him to form a temporary alliance with Kaname Sudou and others despite initial distrust. Post-victory against Eighth, he channels energy into the Sunset Ravens, aiming to end Darwin's Game's lethal cycle. Within the clan, he frequently partners with Sui/Sōta and enforces rules prohibiting non-event killings in Shibuya.
His battle record shows 19 victories in 27 documented matches. Ryuuji maintains practical caution during missions, balancing aggression with tactical assessments. Relationships hinge on pragmatic trust earned through demonstrated reliability, though he executes clan duties with unwavering diligence.
