Sakazuki is a strong and capable leader, but would be best categorized as an extremist and highly dogmatic. He is an adamant believer in Absolute Justice and is ruthless in his maintenance of it, his derived motto being "Thorough Justice". He has a stern, dead-serious disposition, is grim, expressionless, and was the most ruthless out of three admirals, being blunt and emotionally repressed. He is extremely strict, brash, and somewhat sadistic. He will not hesitate to do anything for 'Justice'.
