Delinquents

The delinquents are a group of students who currently stand near the incinerator.

Members

• Osoro Shidesu (The Leader)
• Umeji Kizuguchi (Osoro's right-hand man)
• Hokuto Furukizu
• Gaku Hikitsuri
• Dairoku Surikizu
• Hayanari Tsumeato
• Ayano Aishi (Player choice)
• Unagi Denkashiza (Former of the delinquent, and he is not counted as Delinquents gang).

Appearance

The delinquents all have styled blond hair and scars on their faces. They wear the default male uniform but with the jacket open, revealing casual t-shirts underneath. They stand to the left just outside of the incinerator area.

Between the April 15th, 2017 and April 26, 2018 builds, if the Space Bar was rapidly pressed ten times in front of them, they wore Team Skull Grunt bandannas and performed the Team Skull Grunt dance animation.

Gameplay

The delinquents hang around to the left of the incinerator area outside of class time around a radio. If Ayano walks near them, they will periodically call out at her. If a delinquent sees her carrying the cello case, their dialogue will change to mocking comments related to it.

If they witness the murder, or corpse of a bully, they will react like a Spiteful student.

If an injured delinquent sees Yandere Chan kills another delinquents, or delinquents didn't bring their weapons (Because Ayano blames them for bloody), they will react to murder with the Heroic Persona.

Ayano can sneak corpses past the delinquents either by hiding a dismembered body in the cello case, trashcan or by pushing a student off the roof directly into the dumpster below.

They will not give Ayano a reputation penalty if they see her bloody or insane but will instead comment on her state.

If Ayano attempts to talk to them they will respond rudely, and will not be affected by seduction.

As of the August 15, 2019 build, Ayano can now join the delinquents. In order to join, her reputation must be -33 or lower, her hair must be dyed blonde, she must currently be using the Tough Persona, and she must have completed the tasks for each delinquent. If all of these requirements are met, Ayano can speak to Umeji about joining the delinquents.^[1]

If Ayano joins the delinquents, her reputation will be capped at -33. She will also gain the ability to "Intimidate" students, which accesses the "Favors" menu without befriending a student but incurs a reputation penalty.^[1]

Combat

All delinquents have the Violent persona. If Ayano walks too close to a delinquent with a weapon, they will ready their fighting stance, and if she comes any closer a combat minigame will begin. The player will have to press the three buttons that come up in succession once the game has begun, until either the delinquent or Ayano is too injured to fight. If the delinquents see Ayano murder someone, or she is trying to dispose of a corpse, they will continue fighting her until she is knocked out, or until she kills them. If Ayano bumps into a delinquent too many times, they will assume she wants to fight and take up a fighting stance.

If Ayano defeats a delinquent in a fight, he will drop his weapon and leave to sit near the bench near the incinerator.

If Ayano fights a delinquent near a teacher or Senpai, she will receive a Game Over. If she fights near regular students, she will receive a reputation penalty.

If Ayano fights a delinquent near a member of the Student Council, she will run up towards them and break up the fight. However, Student Council members will pepper spray Ayano if she fights a delinquent (In case that the delinquents witness Ayano commit murder).

As of the August 15, 2019 build, a delinquent for whom Ayano has completed a task will no longer be aggressive towards her or start a fight with her.

Routine

The delinquents will arrive at school last in a group, and will purposefully be late to class.^[2]

At 7:20 AM, the group enters school grounds. They walk to their lockers at 7:30 AM and change from their outdoor shoes into their indoor shoes. At 7:40 AM, they walk to the incinerator.

At 8:40 A.M., they walk to their classes. At 1:00 P.M., they eat their lunch near the incinerator.

At 1:40 P.M., they walk back to their classes. Between 3:30 and 4:00 P.M., they will stay at their spot near the incinerator.

Joining the Gang

To join the gang, Ayano must follow a list of mandatory requirements:

• Have a bad reputation level, anywhere around the darkest square of the reputation HUD, between -33% and -99%.
• Dye your hair blonde, purchasing the dye at "Nozama!" site
• Change your persona to "Tough", through any of the mirrors around school.
• Complete all of the delinquents' tasks

Once the list is complete, Ayano must talk with Umeji Kizuguchi to join the delinquents. Once in the gang, Ayano will wear a mask around her mouth. You can press Left Alt to change the design.

Benefits and Downsides

The benefit of joining the delinquents is making students Follow, Distract and Go Away through Intimidation. (With the exception of Student Council Members (Who would be immune to everything from Ayano) and Borupen Saishiki (Who would be immune to intimidation in the future)) However, if this method is used, you will receive a reputation penalty. When you're part of the delinquents, your reputation will lock at -33% unless you leave the gang and your reputation decreases more every time you're caught doing suspicious activity by normal students.

Club Activity and club rules are still the same. The delinquents hangout around town, thinking of ways to defy authority, if Ayano fails to hangout with them for a whole week, Ayano will be evicted from the gang.

Leaving the gang

Ayano will not be possible to get kicked out from the delinquents' gang if a delinquent witness Ayano commits murder on the previous day. Instead, they will attack Ayano until she is knocked down or until they killed. Ayano also not possible to get kicked out if any delinquents witness Ayano kill the bullies on the previous day.

However, she will be evicted if she fails to hangout with them for a whole week.

Ayano can permission to leave the gang. Once she leaves the gang, she will not be allowed to re-join to their gang again.

Background

Originally, all the delinquents except for Osoro were being bullied to the point of considering suicide. They joined Osoro after seeing her singlehandedly take on multiple delinquents from another school, who sought to humiliate her. They idolized Osoro for this feat and began to imitate her after realizing that a fearsome reputation kept bullies away.

They eventually dyed their hair blond to match Osoro, carried blunt weapons, and began coming to class late. Other students soon named them 'delinquents'.

Kocho Shuyona wants to expel them all, but Genka Kunahito requested to reform them and has been given ten weeks to do so. If she fails, they will all be expelled, and Genka will be dismissed from the school.^[3]
