Makoto shows some childish traits, such as being naive, reliant, and easily excitable. he also has an 'unusual' kind of pride, as he gets really worked up from the puzzles of the Monokuma Kids and brags towards the kids when he solves them. he is also very gullible, which is revealed when byakuya says certain things that are obviously false, and makoto easily believes them to be true. he is rather innocent as well and doesn't seem to have much interest in romance nor sexual things.
