Ren Amamiya

i would do something serious but honest to fuck this man is so fucking stupid he doesn’t deserve a serious page like FUCK this guy

...

alright. Seriously.

Amamiya Ren was a participant in Season 4, as well as Season 5. He played a major role in both seasons.

Season 4
In season four, Ren played a major role. He, like almost all of the others, were lured into the “study” by a promise on 100,000 yen for participation.

During prologue, he met Yu Narukam i, Tohru Adachi and Ann Takamaki. He also hit Adachi due to him withholding information, which was soon revealed to be the oncoming killing game.

During chapter 1, he experienced his first death via voluntary sacrifice after Takamaki was revealed to be the killer. He was then immediately revived by Takamaki.

During chapter 2, Ren took the motive and killed both Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu and Byakuya Togami. He was caught by Team Hope, but not by Team Truth, resulting in his survival for the trial.

During chapter 3, he was received as Yu Narukami’s motive. He also received Yu as his own motive as well. He later on experienced his Second Death that chapter, where he had died from a Kamui Miracle imposed by the admin. He was then promptly self-revived.

During chapter 4, he locked himself inside his and Narukami’s shared room, as an attempt to distance himself out of fear from the chapter 3 motive. This backfired horribly later on.

Here’s my favourite. During chapter 5, Ren murdered Tohru Adachi, admitting it immediately at the trial. He was then executed, earning him his third and final death of the game. He was then promptly self-revived.

During chapter 6, he almost got into a fight with Adachi again. That’s pretty much it.

During chapter 7, he was almost sacrificed due to the accomplice kill between Adachi and Narukami, due to Narukami’s inability to be sacrificed from affiliation, and Ren’s apparent closeness to him. However, the admin had activated a Rakukaja, rending him immune for three trials. Sonia was sacrificed, and she and Mahiru were revived by Amamiya.

During chapter 8, Ren, Sonia, Yu, Aigis and Adachi all survived the killing game after correctly identifying Yuuki Mishima as the mastermind, with Mahiru Koizumi being his traitor.

In Season 4, Ren Amamiya was admined by @___ectobiologist__.

Season 5
Ren Amamiya is a major character in season 5.

In the prologue, he met Sho Minazuki, Naoya Toudou, Teddie and Makoto Niijima. Initially, Sho believed him an idiot for trying to climb a wall to escape. The two then got into a goddamn Street Fighter battle and became friends.

In Chapter One, after the entirety of Team Gale voted incorrectly for the killer, Amamiya was almost sacrificed by a forced 50/50 wheel randomiser by both the admin and the admin of Sho Minazuki. The sacrificed ended up being Sho, who was then revived by Teddie.

In Chapter Two, a somewhat unpredicted relationship formed between Sho and Ren, as well as Ren officially becoming the first one to kiss the chad himself, Yu Narukami. Suck my dick AJ I’m stealing ya mans. Amamiya also broke his finger from “punching a wall”. Gale voted incorrectly this chapter as well, leading to the subsequent death of the Fox, who was basically Ren’s replacement for Morgana and no I am STILL not over it. #FoxRights

In Chapter Three, Ren assisted Sho in the first accomplice kill of the season, successfully murdering both Naoya Toudou and Mitsuru Kirijo. They were found out last minute by Gale. However, due to his bargaining and reasoning, he convinced the rest of the team to vote incorrectly, sparing both himself and Minazuki from death. However, this negatively impacted every single bond he had made thus far, effectively making him a social outcast. Due to his assisted murder with Minazuki, access to the outside was now granted. Starting from this point forward, Amamiya began disappearing into the fog for extended periods of time.

In Chapter Four, Amamiya partook in an expedition with all Phantom Thieves in the game (replacing Ryuji with Teddie) which... Went about as well as one would expect. Despite the obvious tension and mistrust, they managed to find Page Two during their outing. He was stabbed in the shoulder and broken up with by Sho Minazuki via the motive, and abandoned by Makoto. Both later apologised. Ryuji Sakamoto was murdered that chapter, as well as Futaba Sakura, who was sacrificed for Mist’s incorrect vote. The murderer, Mitsuru, and her accomplice, Akihiko Sanada, were executed. Sho Minazuki was also murdered by the mastermind. Mitsuru was then revived by mist. Tl;dr, Ren was fucking PISSED.

In Chapter Five, the merge occurred. Upon merge, he met Yusuke Kitagawa, Yosuke Hanamura, and Chie Satonaka. His first real encounter with Mitsuru then occurred, ending with the two parting on bad terms, and leaving Kitagawa conflicted on who to follow. This chapter, Ren went exploring with Yusuke, where they found evidence of someone else likely living within the fog, presumably dead due to the state of the fabric. It greatly upset Ren for some unknown reason. Upon motive, Yusuke forgot Ren, which is believed to be what drove him to murder that chapter. Yusuke Kitagawa was then executed, leaving behind a devastated Ren Amamiya.

In Chapter Six, Ren Amamiya then turned and killed Teddie for reasons then unexplained, but likely related to the motive currently affecting Nanako Dojima and Mitsuru Kirijo. He successfully got away with the murder, causing Makoto to then question if that was why he relinquished the leadership of the Phantom Thieves over to her if he came to pass. He confirmed this was not the reason, and left the true reason unsaid.

In Chapter Seven, the reason for Amamiya's extended disappearances came to light, correlated with the appearance of the corpse of the Real Yu Narukami. From here on, the real Yu will be referred to as Yu Narukami, and the fake as Naru. With his death, Ren immediately called out the killer, his Shadow, whom he called Naru. With the trial solved, the two masterminds revealed themselves, Tohru Adachi and Shadow Yu Narukami. A final exploration was carried out, where they found Yu's hiding place, in which Ren could not enter from memories. Ren also had several near-death encounters, prevented by the spectre and the group along with him, Naoya Toudou, Yosuke Hanamura, Nanako Dojima, Ryotaro Dojima, and a revived Yusuke Kitagawa, revived by Ren to cope with the loss.

In Chapter Eight, the final trial was announced. However, due to the masterminds having announced themselves the trial prior, the trial was set to find the final traitor. In a final act of rebellion, Ren Amamiya revealed himself as the final traitor, as well as revealing that the reason he murdered Teddie was due to him being the only other remaining traitor in merge, and he would have had to kill someone the final trial due to his survival instead of simply revealing himself. After, everyone then cast their votes, leading to the murder of Ren Amamiya at the hands of Naru. Ren later makes an appearance at the final battle, by the side of Nanako, as she briefly gains the ability to wield the personae Arsene and Izanagi due to Ren and Yu watching over her.
