[gripping armchairs] AND SAMATOKI... god i am so sorry i have to be this way on your posts but hhhh the slaughterer as established, you know how it is... 😔
more killerlites and killer-adjacents from hypmic:
cindi and i coined the hunter for saburo even though at this point in canon he's still hunter-lite/proto-hunter himself, but the words did come straight from the horse's mouth
hypmic is kinda chock full of imposters actually, ranked by most unhealthy to most healthy
hifumi - shinjuku's #1 host, literally has to dissociate into his constructed coping mechanism persona in order to do his job (being charming to women... when he is gynophobic due to trauma...), also the target/girl love interest of another killer who is a girl (honobono, the aforementioned trauma, queering the killer x girl love interest binary)
gentaro - stole his comatose brother's identity, pathological(?) liar, most likely to engage in actual killing or otherwise ethically dubious activities
jyushi - another dissociative persona as coping mechanism but less severe than hifumi, he also uses it for his job (visual kei stage performance) but is otherwise normal
jyuto - not an entirely separate persona but he does utilize charm/image management for dirty cop purposes and otherwise lacks much killeristic intent
once again, ramuda defies categorization. i maintain that he is original flavor killer, just with slightly different aesthetic trappings, but we can give him a subtype of his own too
other examples: tamaki suoh (ouran) is ofc the imposter who i've described as "hifumi if he was atobe" but tamaki is also just a nice guy with no killeristic intent whatsoever which i know is part of the description but i need to distinguish from the more killeristic examples i gave, the hitachiin twins are also imposters as well but definitely more ethically dubious, kyoya is pretty much original flavor killer. mine fujiko might be a honeytrap but she's a thief first and foremost... she do be killing though. we already talked about mikey as another child of god, but he do be killing purposefully and physically as well, he's not exactly a slaughterer though he's just Guy Who Is The Strongest. and i still think ibu shinji should make the hunter category despite getting powercrept to hell and back. kazutora and baji are both slaughters to different degrees, and draken would probably fit under the proposed vigilante/executioner type.
the only subtype i can think of that's missing is like... yanderes... who are essentially just girl slaughterers with boy love interests. not sure if that's enough to constitute a separate type. i'll brainstorm some more if there's anything else missing.
