Idate

Idate is laid back; he has a relaxed mentality and does not get worried over matters quickly. His actions and demeanor make him seem well-mannered, but his violent and sadistic actions contrast this notion. Idate teases and pokes fun at others in a way that confuses and frustrates them. Though his style of speech is informal, he still acts gentlemanly. Idate uses the personal pronoun "watashi" to refer to himself. He does not call most people by name, but there are a few exceptions which include the residents of the Iceberg Isle. Idate has a prevalent tendency to be cruel and sadistic to the people around him. He is always looking for somebody to inflict violence on. When choosing a victim, he chooses someone he "likes." He also chooses his victims based on his mood. He refers to violence as "playing" and sometimes assaults his victims before eating them. However, he does not resort to violence using weapons and believes using them is "cheating." He will often burn his victims with the cigarettes he has as well. A frequent target of his is Shirogane, though he has been shown harassing other inhabitants on Iceberg Isle, such as Rocma and Yukisada. Idate is also derogatory towards sharks and describes them as "stupid" and "just fish." In Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea, he attacks Samekichi unprovoked in hopes of eating him. In spite of this, Idate is not violent to everyone. He is sometimes willing to act like a gentleman to somebody as sophisticated as Tatsumiya. He is also helpful at times such as when he helped Tatsumiya escape from Old at Wadanohara's request, though he claimed he had nothing better to do. When asked why Idate is so violent, Deep-Sea Prisoner said it is simply because he is an orca; he has no dark past. However, part of his personality may have been influenced by his father who was described as 'scary. Idate is bisexual with a strong preference for women. He particularly has a strong infatuation with Rocma, as he is into people who resist him. He has little interest in female killer whales. His three main "desires" include food, sleep, and sex. Another desire of his is violence. Idate has an obsession with smoking and experiences withdrawal symptoms when he runs out of cigarettes. Idate likes meat. When eating ramen, he is the type to eat the toppings first. He likes something similar to Japanese alcohol. He drinks a lot without worrying what will happen afterwards and will often feel sick the next day. Additionally, Idate’s dexterity decreases when he has consumed alcohol; for example, when he is sober, he can get a perfect score playing darts but cannot get one dart to hit the board when intoxicated
