Character History

In his youth, Souji prefered to spend his time with anime and video games and was considered rather undependable.

Betrayer & Hunt

Souji's first reaction to meeting the new Warmaster is being unimpressed, even withstanding her trademark glare, but he is put off by receiving a bag full of porn from her. Some time later, he is sent to wake Chiaki and Midori up for a hunting trip, telling them to get their magical asses in gear since he has research to do. After a small exchange of vulgar implications, he thanks Chiaki for taking care of Misaka, although he still considers her a bad choice for Warmaster. When Chiaki asks him about Kharn's retirement in Siberia, he is surprised that she doesn't remember her being responsible and tells her to ask Kharn herself, his animosity obvious. He tries stopping Misaka and Kharn from arguing, resulting in his sister kicking him, starting an argument between them after which he angrily returns to the base, telling Chiaki not to let his sister get hurt. When the hunting party returns after fighting Mirai and her horde of bears, Souji watches Chiaki's and Midori's bedside, reading the porn the Warmaster in training bought him. After some bickering, he tells Chiaki that matters regarding soul gems are tricky and that she should be nicer to the one handling her treatment. He gives Chiaki a cup of coffee and tells her that Kharn is preparing food outside and that he will watch over Midori while she is still asleep. He also thanks her for keeping Misaka safe again before she leaves.

Treatment & Training

The night before the scheduled procedure, Souji and Kharn hear loud banging noises in the base. He investigates and finds Chiaki unconscious in the elevator. Fully awake, he and Kharn decide to start the treatment right away. While Kharn talks to Chiaki, Souji makes the neccessary preparations before administering narcotics and starting the procedure. In the morning, Souji is preparing breakfast in the living areas kitchen. After hearing that Chiaki is suffering from amnesia after the procedure, Misaka shouts and blames her brother for it, kicking him hard before locking herself into her room. He tries to tell her that the effect is only temporary but she doesn't listen. After some arguing with Kharn, he starts working on his laptop, telling Chiaki that his sister will probably calm down after crying herself to sleep. He then apologizes for the memory loss, mentioning that it should not have happened in the first place and will likely be only temporary. Kharn states that the procedure was a complete success and should not have any side effects and that they have to make sure it doesn't happen again during the final treatment. Souji replies that ti might not be neccessarfy, but Kharn insists they should prepare for it nonetheless. When Chiaki drops a manga from her inventory, Midori panics and Souji claims it belongs to him to save her the trouble of explaining the background of "The Adventures of Miracle Midori and Murder Mayumi" to her superior again. As Kharn decides to start her training session with Chiaki, Souji voices concern about using the golden weapons, but Kharn replies that these are why Chiaki is there in the first place, insisting on using them. After cleaning up, he leads Chiaki and Midori to the training area, requesting Chiaki not to get carried away during training as Kharn tends to do that a lot. He unlocks the weapon storage and leaves the area to continue his research. He meets his sisterback in the kitchen and tries to calm her down once more. She dashes towards the returning Chiaki, has a conversation with her and returns to the kitchen, beaming and talking about her new big sister.
