Her Good Ranking[]
What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Good?[]
- Although it is true that she participated in the war between Trinity and Gehenna in her terrorism activities, causing damage to Trinity and Gehenna, and nearly killing Sensei, this was not what Saori wanted, and if Saori refused to become a villain, Her friends Atsuko, Hiyori, Misaki and even Azusa are destined to be killed by Beatrice, and the reason Saori did evil is to save Atsuko, Hiyori, Misaki and Azusa from Beatrice for a selfless reason. Also, she tried to protect her friends in her own way, but she deeply regretted the fact that she was injecting despair into her colleagues and destroying their lives as she taught her friends to kill. Besides, Saori very much regrets the fact that she almost killed Sensei too.
- In the past, she took care of Misaki Imashino and Hiyori Tsuchinaga, who were orphans like her. and She resisted the killing education Beatrice forced her to do in the past, trying to protect her friends Atsuko, Hiyori, Misaki and Azusa.
- She went to Sensei to save Atsuko, telling him that Atsuko was going to be killed as a sacrifice to Beatrice, expressing her helplessness and begging Sensei to save Atsuko as she didn't care if he killed herself.
- She met the evil adult, Beatrice, and properly atoned for her sins of being mis-educated and misguided, convincing herself that she was nothing but a blight on the world around her, and attempted to atone for it by dying to Mika.
- Under Sensei's command, she defeated Beatrice, who had become a monster of the sublime, rescued Atsuko, and put an end to Beatrice's terrible plans to become a god.
- She stopped Beatrice's misdeeds, and although they were compelled by Beatrice to do them, she was willing to take the punishment given by Sensei to atone for her misdeeds. Furthermore, in Kivotos, the idea of an adult is one who takes responsibility, and Saori is seen as a responsible person by her squadmates, and she is recognized by her Sensei as such because she doesn't shirk responsibility for the sins she commits.
- She ceded the position of leader of the Arius Squad to Misaki, who had suicidal thoughts, as Saori's consideration to prevent Misaki from committing suicide.
- When The Colors invaded Kivotos, she became one of the students who defended Kivotos from The Color by battling HIERONYMUS, the color imbued with The Color.
What Prevents Her From Being Pure Good?[]
- Even after redeeming herself, she still have an unnecessary violent and mischievous moments as instead of returning to school, she chose to join a criminal organization Helmet Gang. This turns Saori into Lethal. Also, Saori has shown excessive violence to the point of being unnecessary in the relationship story. However, this is a minor prevention as Saori is a case of harsh murderous training from Beatrice and has no knowledge of everyday life because of it.
