Reiji Sakamaki
レイジ逆巻
Seiyuu: Katsuyuki Konishi
Second Route I Played
I swearTHIS man has given me the feels for a whole route.
Reiji's route in HDB starts off rather uneventful with him being rather distant and strict. But, as the route progresses, he gradually gets more involved and shows even a lot of care for Yui. Though, he always remembers her that he's in a higher position (being a vampire) and she's merely his servant and possession. Nevertheless, did I GREATLY enjoy the chapters of this route. Plus, he's got a few moments that you'd not expect!
SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT SO BEWARE
One thing about Reiji's route, that I really found very interesting was, how present Cordelia was.
During the Epilogue of the Maniac part, Cordelia "awakens" within Yui. And, for all of Reiji's Ecstasy chapters, she's in control of Yui's body.
Which lead to some quite interesting dialogue and actions between Reiji and "Yui" (Cordelia).
Though, I must say that the majority of Reiji's HDB route was just him messing / torturing Yui. Nothing against that though, don't get me wrong! I GREATLY enjoyed him disciplining her and making her beg for mercy. (Yes, I'm into that.) But one scene, where he choked her and yelled, he'd end her life subscription was making me nearly swallow my chewing gum.
Though, Reiji's seiyuu is amazing when the character gets angry.
Also, Reiji doesn't really do many romantic things in the first part of his route, which is a more realistic approach to how feelings evolve over time in my opinion. AND he also doesn't bite Yui right off the bet like a certain "Yours Truly" *judgingly looks at Ayato*.
The first time he ACTUALLY bit Yui got me squealing.
All in all, I REALLY loved and enjoyed Reiji's route. I did even cry when I had finished it, since I already missed him.
Looking forward to seeing Reiji again in the next game!
