Personality

Gai saving Inori's life

Inori is first shown to be emotionless and only cares to follow Gai's orders. As he saved her life and gave her a name. Thus she shows absolute respect and devotion towards him. After meeting and living with Shu, she becomes more emotional. She also seems to think she's a burden to others but tries to protect the people close to her. She does not understand her own emotions, as shown in episode 4 when Shu was captured, she did not understand why she felt cold. Or in episode 10, she even had to ask Gai if she loves Shu or not. She is shown to be a ruthless person, able to kill enemies, but has shown a dislike of doing so. She is very sweet to her friends, but very quiet.

After Mana's death Inori started to display a darker side noted by the fact that she killed or injured a group of students who attempted to undress her in hopes of revealing a tattoo, gleed maniacally before stabbing Arisa, and later injured a group of thugs while smilling. But the consciousness that led her to these actions was revealed to be Mana, who began to survive in Inori's body after a ritual was carried out in episode 12. Inori, after finding out she was meant as a vessel for Mana, starts to wonder if her feelings and heart were real. She also starts to be bothered by the fact that she is a monster after regaining consciousness in the aftermath of Mana actions. But in episode 18, she resolves that even if she is a monster or that her emotions were fake, she would always be herself, as she was encouraged by Shu's words that Inori would always be herself regardless of her monstrous instincts.

As the series continues, her relationship with Shu changes. At first, she seemed very interested in Shu and declared that she was his. But in episode 5, she revealed her actions were Gai's orders to force him into the Undertakers. Despite the order, Inori has been shown to be gaining an interest in Shu, with Gai noting that she has fallen in love with Shu in episode 10. After Shu takes over the school, she helps him and gives him emotional support through the trouble times. She is extremely loyal to Shu; as shown in episode 17 and 18, she was the only one running to his defense, even willing to sacrifice herself to keep Shu safe. Shu showed the world to her of its sadness and its beauty revealed by Inori in episode 21.

Abilities

As a member of the Funeral Parlor, Inori is extremely skilled in forms of combat such as hand-to-hand fighting and marksmanship, to the point where she is able to outmatch and kill several soldiers of the GHQ forces by herself. Like Yuu, she displayed the ability to render a person unconscious with a simple touch to their forehead.

As an instant body of Mana, the patient zero of the Apocalypse Virus, it seems that her blood has the ability to delay the symptoms of those infected by the virus. As an instant body, it is implied that she can be used as conduit of sorts to communicate with her. After Mana's death and the transfer of consciousness to Inori, Inori started to display violent instincts of Mana, as shown when she attacked Arisa, during which she produced a crystal spike of sorts to stab her. As time went on Inori started to display more and more of Mana's abilities due to her constant contact with those whose Voids contained pieces of Mana.

In episode 18 this culminates as she adopted a new form where her hair became longer and wilder, with several crystal spikes appearing around her back, waist and arms and two crystals forming in her cheeks. In this form her physical abilities are greatly enhanced, and she can use the spikes in her hand as blades. With this form she fought in a berserk-like fashion and was able to destroy multiple Ghost Endlaves before being captured by Gai himself, who had to use Yuu's Void to catch her by surprise.

To carry out the first stage of the plan, Shu and Inori had to sneak through a vent with Inori to the front of him (she didn't know that Shu was looking at her butt). They reach they're destination and witness the cruelty of the GHQ and she gives Shu words of encouragement when he was hesitant, saying she belonged to him now. After they win the battle Shu goes to school normally, rejecting Gai's offer to join them only to witness, to his shock, that Inori is his new classmate. Everyone in the class is amazed that the Egoist singer was their classmate and began talking to Inori until Yahiro intervenes, saying they should calm down because she'll be with them for the rest of the year.

Victory

Everyone celebrates Gai and Shu's victory

Later at Shu's home, Haruka sees Inori and notices the resemblance between her and the girl in Shu's memories but shakes it off. On the day of the 'party' Inori is seen with Tsugumi and Ayase who watch as Shu and Gai carry out their plan and rejoice when they become victorious.

In episode 12, she was used as a sacrifice to bring back Mana, so she could cause another outbreak of the virus around the world but Mana's rebirth was prevented by Shu and Gai.

Inori has a split personality which actually is Mana's infected side like stabbing Arisa's hand and killing a group of bandits. Inori started to fear that she might end up killing Shu if it continues.Inori remembers that telling her about her void but remarking that Inori is Inori, which made her finally know even if she is a monster with a fake heart and emotions to her she is the real one. In episode 21, Inori has finally turned into Mana after Gai has erased all of her memories of her as a person. In Episode 22, Inori was restored when Shu defeated Gai. She appears in front of Shu, almost crystallized, and walks towards Shu blindly and embraces him. She then started to appear at Shu's hallucinations and began to fully crystallize and subsequently, breakdown.

Trivia

  • Inori's personailty and background share a strong similarity to Ayanami Rei from Neon Genesis Evagenlion, due to their lack of perceived emotion, genetic connection to the protagonist's kin as well as love interest and overarching importance to the series plot.
  • In Episode 16 Inori starting talking the same way Mana did at one point she also at the end of the episode stabbed Arisa after giving her a maniacal glee, this could mean that Mana's rebirth was not actually prevented.
