| - While he was undeniably brilliant in his field, he was also cold, arrogant, and at times almost as delusional as his employers. Given free rein by the Kakuzawas, he was utterly ruthless and willing to do whatever he felt necessary to gain more knowledge of his subjects, some of whom lived and died under the most nightmarish circumstances imaginable, only to have their spinal columns and other body parts harvested for further examination and experiments after death. In spite of this, he became attached to four of the most viable Mariko clones that he was ordered to create and even gave each one of them a name. During the assault on the Maple House, Nousou was visibly appalled and angered by the deaths of two of the three clones he brought with him when they were killed or injured in both the lead-up to and during the assault itself. Severely underestimating Lucy and to a lesser extent Nana and even Kouta, the assault team was taken apart, and Nousou was wounded, almost crushed by a falling helicopter. To his shock, Nousou found himself saved by the sacrifice of the clones with him. Realizing he didn't know whether the clones' loyalty was genuine or not, Nousou, while recovering in the hospital, released Barbara, the remaining clone he brought with him, from his control against the advice of the Agent, who had accompanied him on the raid. Free to speak her mind, Barbara made him brutally aware that not only was she fully aware of everything he did to her and her sisters while in her controlled state, but that she felt nothing but hatred and anger for the way he treated them. In what may have been the only sincere apology of his life, Nousou apologized to Barbara before being decapitated by her.
