Shin either dies antagonized or lives long enough to become an antagonist.

If you vote for him, he dies thinking everyone hates him. And the worst thing?? He’s right. Even if you vote for him because “saving the kid is the morally right thing to do”, he knows that at least half the cast voted for him because they absolutely despise him, and that the other half that didn’t vote for him still hates his guts, but wants to use him as a tool to get out of the death game. He dies without a chance to tell his story, to show the world that he was just the way he was to survive, and in the end, it doesn’t really matter. He dies, and he dies an asshole. His last and only redeeming act (sacrificing himself for Kanna) is decided by everyone else, and even if you can start seeing bits of his real personality in his last moments (him using the AI Joe to help Sara heal, his last words, etc.), he dies before he can see anyone see him for who he really was. A person, just like everyone else. The only exception to this would be Kanna, who sees the good in him far before everyone else, and that only makes his sacrifice for her even more tragic. He proves the odds right, the odds Asunaro created, the odds he fought until the very end, because, after all,

No one can escape their destiny.

And yet, dying is the best outcome for him (which is pretty ironic, but well). If he lives, he becomes miserable (even more than he was before, I mean). He lives knowing that everyone sees him as a tool and has only allowed him to live because of his utility to them. Not only that, but they’ve killed his sister, a fourteen year old for it. Not only does he get the little bit of humanity showed to him so far taken away, but they also take Kanna’s away by seeing her as a sacrifice needed for a greater good (the greater good being a slightly higher chance at surviving). The group doesn’t see them as people anymore, but rather as parts of an equation they need to solve. The route where everyone loses their morality and compassion (again, they’re killing a fourteen year old) is the only one where Shin can survive, because the group turns into what they so desperately hated Shin for. They turn into calculating beings that see people as odds and chances, and that don’t care about a few dying if they survive in the process. Ironically, Shin turns into the opposite: He stops trying to save himself by logically considering the best course of action to survive, but rather, he acts out of spite. The odds are now reversed: The group (represented by Sara) starts trying to find the best outcome by using logic, completely disregarding people as people and instead seeing them as just what they bring to the group, and Shin stops caring about logic and only acts on his desire to avenge his sister’s death. Of course, he still makes logical decisions, and he collaborates when he knows it’s completely necessary, just like the group doesn’t become a bunch of completely emotionless robots, but his overall drive doesn’t come from logic and survival anymore: it comes from pain and spite, two of the strongest emotion that can lead a human being.

Shin turns into the representation of emotion, and the rest the representation of logic. The group loses any kind of moral compass they could’ve had, because in the logic route, everyone is there just to survive; except Shin, who is there just to see them all die. No one is “in the right” in the logic route. You can sympathize with the group’s drive to survive, and the pressure put on Sara (reminder: she’s a seventeen year old) to make such a heavy decision (in fact, you should empathize with them. That’s what YTTD is about), but you can’t excuse the killing (it isn’t exactly a murder, but their votes do kill Kanna) of a fourteen year old when there was an adult completely suitable to be voted safely, and willing to give his life for her. You can’t excuse that, nor their hypocrisy: Killing a child after everything they’ve been preaching so far is completely contradicting (see: the room of lies, where you have the dialogue choice to ask q-taro to press the switch and save Gin. And there’s no logical reason for that, aside from… saving the kid, right?). And while you can also sympathize with Shin’s motives for acting how he did before, and with his pain after losing his sister, even with his drive to seek vengeance, but you can’t excuse how he acts after it: He tries to drive Sara (again, seventeen) into a state of madness using the Joe AI, and his only wish is literally to see everyone die. Again, there’s no one good: just different shades of grey. Your interpretation of the chapter and the character’s actions will depend on how you feel about them and how much you sympathize with their motives. Is Shin a devastated older brother, acting solely on the pain his sister’s death has brought to him? Or is he just using that as an excuse to become an even bigger asshole and do anything to survive as he always intended to? Does Sara vote for Kanna as a way to honor her wishes? Does she think Kanna is finally in a state to make such a decision for herself? Does she vote for Kanna wishing to save more people with her sacrifice in the long run? Or does she vote for Kanna solely to raise their survival stakes by using Shin around like a pawn? Is it the responsible decision of a group leader? Or the selfish decision of a tired and scared seventeen year old? It’s only up to you to decide.

You are the only one to blame after all, aren’t you?

Fun fact: Sou is a play on the word “Uso”, which means “Lie”, and Hiyori means “Sunny weather”. On the contrary, the word “Shin” means “Truth”, and “Tsukimi” means “Moon-viewing”. I think it’s a great parallel between his personas. (And a good note to end a post about his character).
