His outwardly appearance is that of a fragile man, and this appearance often aids him in gaining undeserved trust from various characters throughout the series who are not aware of his debauchery and evil intentions. This includes switching from a peaceful expression to one with intense hate and scorn. Shido's body frame is very thin and he has various expressions seen throughout the series. Inside the suit, he wears a white dress shirt along with a yellow tie. Shido is depicted wearing a black pinstripe suit. He claims he will bring 'peace' for all those who follow him. He then makes a speech about how weaklings do not deserve to exist. Both girls have good reasons to do so, as he seems to be a cruel and heartless person, leaving behind a student who has sprained his ankle and even kicking him back towards a group of zombies chasing them. Saeko Busujima says his name with a scowl, showing that he apparently is a villainous character. Rei Miyamoto is afraid of and disgusted by him. Yes, it suffers from the all zombie genres clichГ©s and stereotypes but it's fulfilling, exciting and fun.He is Class 3A's teacher. High School of the Dead is designed and drawn skilfully with the sound design and soundtrack as equally pleasing. There's cursing, violence, action and gore aplenty, the slow moving zombies are perfectly realised, gruesome and scary which gives the show the required edginess to hold its own. The interplay between the teenagers and adult protagonists are handled well and the highschoolers especially Psycho and Takashi come across older than they are. Some of the scenes granted are childish and overly comedic but these are few and those familiar with the anime style wont bat an eyelid. The teen focus for the most part works, although it plays a little awkward for viewers given the abundance of up-skirt and cleavage shots. A small band of students escape the post-zombiefication of their school to discover their families fates while battling some unsavoury survivors and zombie hordes.
