He sought to kill the Star Religious members that were laughing over Riko's death, though was stopped by Suguru Geto - who he relied on as a moral compass at that time - before taking any action. After defeating Toji, Satoru retrieved Riko's corpse with a sorrowful look, showing that albeit his recent conceited victory temporarily clouding his feelings, he still felt some grief over her death. Nevertheless, despite his haughtiness and strength, Satoru is more human than he first appears. However, this only extends to the people killed by his opponent he will not do any lasting harm to or kill anyone innocent to gain the upper hand. He will prioritize his enemies' destruction over saving innocent people when he believes that the sacrifice is unavoidable. Furthermore, in a crisis, he is capable of being cold-blooded. His combative style is characterized by his aggressive and domineering attacks, while flaunting his mastered techniques to his opponents. However, any empathy of her death was soon negated by his extensive amount of pride and arrogance after perfecting his reverse cursed technique in his following battle against Toji Fushiguro.ĭuring intense battles, Satoru is seen to occasionally fall into a frenzied fighting state, urged by his determination for victory and undeniable proof that he alone is the strongest. He is convinced that he is the strongest in the world, which he technically is, claiming, during his fight with Toji Fushiguro, that "throughout the Heavens and earth, he alone is the honored one." This can be further exemplified when he was tasked with protecting Riko Amanai, one of the few 'weak' people he genuinely grew to show compassion for. Additionally, greatly influenced by his own desire for power, he is very arrogant. His opinion of others often only go as far as his judgement of their strength, and he is quite apathetic towards anyone he deems weak.
Satoru is extremely confident in his abilities and reputation as a powerful sorcerer, believing himself to be invincible. However, he is unsympathetic and cruel towards sorcerer executives, an example being his blatant disrespect towards Principal Gakuganji, and his enemies. He is normally seen to be nonchalant and playful towards his students, close colleagues, and friends.
