It's unfortunate that Niragi really comes off as nothing but a fucking psycho who enjoys killing and raping people (especially in the drama, but it makes sense since it only covers the firsy few chapters of the manga) because yes he is very much a piece of shit, thank you, but he's also such a complex, deep and oh my god broken human being who craves something he can't even address himself and when finally finds it is so scared of losing it again that he'd rather take everything down with him instead of risking it. Just. Please read the manga I swear to god.

Girlfriends

[pipipinyyy]

whenever I dream with an Alice in Borderland character it's always Last Boss for some reason (except for one time where Asahi and Momoka appeared for a minute as my friends and another time where I saw Niragi fightin with someone and then crying for a very short time)

also I somehow always end up befriending him, it's been 3 times already but I'm not gonna complain

[pipipinyyy]

Niragi is such an interesting character to analyze I could talk about him for hours non-stop, this post explained everything so well💕

Why is Niragi such a psycho? How did he become like this and what are his hidden feelings, desires and needs?

A headcanon from my psychological point of view

Just for fun, this is how I perceive his character on Alice in Borderland. There is no “truth” in it, it is just an interpretation. Feel free to comment, add your point of view and to use these ideas as a base for your own stories (I’m curious – please tag me then). And let me know if you would like to read more stuff like this, for example ideas to get out of this and references to specific personality traits.

Background info

These assumptions are the base of my character descriptions in my stories. They stem from schema therapy by Jeffrey Young. He assumes that our behavior and our thoughts reveal something about how we perceive the world (schema). Maladaptive schemas arise when various basic needs are violated and there are different ways to deal with them (modes). They are similar to our biologically determined response to danger: freeze (endure), flight (avoidance) and fight (overcompensation) which I think is a pretty awesome fact because it’s logical and easy to get. What they all have in common is that they solidify a certain schema.

So, let’s see how the psyche of the fictional character Niragi might have evolved.

Quick overview

Niragi’s schemas most likely refer to the three need domains attachment, pleasure/fun/play/spontaneity and identity/structure/boundaries/consistence. He must have experienced some injuries there. As there are five domains in total (and there is some evidence that the remaining two domains are also affected), we know he’s probably struggling mentally.

 Now we already have some clues as to what went wrong in his life.

 Let’s take a closer look:

Attachment

ABANDONMENT.

He believes that once he starts loving someone, he will be abandoned one day.

Early childhood experiences. He had not enough emotional support by his caregivers and peers.

Modes. Endure: Striving for unattainable relationships. Avoidance: The distant protector avoids emotional relationships, escapes when he gets serious attachment offers. Strives for superficial relationships, keeps his private life secret. The active self-soother seeks distraction in sex, alcohol, self-harm (he occurs in all schemas, so I won’t mention him again). The overcompensator is clinging, jealous and controlling in relationships. He tends to quit before the other one does.

MISTRUST/ABUSE.

He expects to be hurt, abused, humiliated, betrayed, lied to, and manipulated by others, is therefore hypervigilant. He sees no safety in relationships, considers them as dangerous and unpredictable.

Early childhood experiences. His boundaries were violated by other people, and he didn’t get protection. He has been emotionally and verbally devalued, bullied, sweared at and physically abused (as we know from the flashback scene).

Modes. Avoidance: The distant protector is mistrustful and doesn’t let anyone be close to him. He avoids make himself vulnerable. The overcompensator dominates, exploits, humiliates, and punishes others (oh yes, he does).

 EMOTIONAL DEPRIVATION.

He suffers from a lack of attention, affection, warmth and belonging; from a lack of empathy through understanding, listening, and sharing feelings. He can’t take care for his own feelings. He has a feeling of emptiness and loneliness and cannot perceive loving attention. He is sure that nobody cares how he is feeling.

Early childhood experiences. He didn’t get any care or physical closeness. He has received too little reassurance and reliable offers of relationships. He couldn’t see himself as lovable.

Modes. Endure: He chooses emotionally cool friends like the militants. He isn’t used to self-care. Avoidance: The distant protector withdraws emotionally and socially.

INSUFFICIENCY/SHAME.

Negative self-perception as inadequate, bad, undesirable, inferior, and incapable. He is afraid of being exposed as unlovable. He is sensitive to criticism and rejection and believes that he cannot stand comparison with other people. He perceives his character as massively flawed.

Early childhood experiences. Like above, especially bullying.

Modes. Avoidance: The distant protector a avoids self-disclosure and relationships in general. The overcompensator shames other people, harshly criticizes, belittles and rejects them. He has an inflated self-esteem (which is seen very often in the series).

  Need for pleasure/fun/play/spontaneity

PROPENSITY TO PUNISH.

He punishes mistakes harshly (poor Arisu). He is angry, intolerant, implacable, impatient, and relentless when others make mistakes or fail to live up to his expectations (“Who is the witch? Ok, we just shoot everyone”). He lacks empathy.

Early childhood experiences. He was punished and exposed to power abusing attachment figures.

Modes. Endure: He tends to punish himself for mistakes at times and has a harsh, unforgiving attitude toward himself and others. He has to react to every mistake.

Need for identity/structure/boundaries

DEMANDING/GRANDIOSITY.

As a militant, he is convinced that he is something special. He controls, manipulates, and feels entitled to demand his own needs at any price (remember the attempted rape of Usagi). He claims special rights and privileges. The impulsive part expresses his needs excessively, has a low tolerance for frustration and seeks short-term satisfaction of his own needs. He doesn’t accept a “No” (think of the “election” of the new leader which is made by his rifle). General rules don’t apply for him. He hates being restricted.

Early childhood experiences. He has received no instruction in impulse control and has not learned to endure frustration.

Modes. Endure: He is unable to reflect on himself and ignores the needs of others. He vigorously enforces his will. Avoidance: The distant protector shows no weaknesses, avoids being dependent and is not a team player. The overcompensator shows autoaggression at times.

LACK OF SELF-CONTROL.

He cannot control emotions and impulses (BANG BANG BANG) and gets easily distracted. He does not forego quick satisfaction of needs in favor of long-term goals. He avoids taking responsibility. He gets emotional outbursts when his needs are not met (and looks so HOT then).

Early childhood experiences. Reference persons living according to the pleasure principle. No guidance for need postponement and rule acceptance.

Modes. Endure: He is indifferent to his own rule-breaking (no beachwear for the sexy giraffe, what a pity). Avoidance: The distant protector avoids conflicts, uncomfortable situations and responsibility. The overcompensator gains advantages at the expense of others.

I did some digging and I think I found out every signature !

this one is quite obvious, it's Ann's

this one belongs to Aguni (粟国)

guessing this one is Kuzuryuu's (separated into Kuz-zury-yu)

and the hardest one so far, guessing it's Hatter's (using his surname Danma, since this is from before he died)

taking into consideration the rank numbers it would make sense for Niragi, Chishiya and Last Boss to not be there (however it's kinda weird that Mira isn't there)

take this as a grain of salt, it's quite hard to guess signatures😭

SOMEONE PLZ WHOS SIGNATURE IS THIS-
