When Shion later starts beating Satoko for being overly dependent, he assumes that she's just taking part in the village's discrimination against them, despite later admitting that she'd never done so. Jerkass Ball: As his emotional and physical health decline, he quits the Hinamizawa Fighters and becomes bitter toward Mion (actually Shion), as his contempt toward her family spreads to her despite all the time they'd spent bonding.Ironically, he has one of the most energetic and hot-blooded image songs of the cast.

He actually recovers in Miotsukushi's epilogue. In the Matsuribayashi-hen, Shion discovers Satoshi is in a coma in Irie's clinic and he'll need to stay like that at least until there's a real cure for the Hinamizawa Syndrome.
