Sakazuki is an extremist and is highly dogmatic. He is an adamant believer in Absolute Justice and is ruthless in his maintenance of it, his derived motto being "Thorough Justice" (徹底的な正義, Tetteiteki na Seigi?).[17] He has a stern, dead-serious disposition, is grim, expressionless, and was the most ruthless out of the trio. This has given him a very fearsome reputation despite being merely a Cadet. He dislikes Kuzan, however he tolerates Borsalino and Kuzan the same way — Just barely.
