Character Information
Name: Midorima Shintarou
Canon: Kuroko no Basket
Canon Point: End of the Manga, including the Vorpal Sword side story.
Age: 17
History: Wiki Link
Personality:
Midorima is a child. An eccentrically weird and bizarre child but still a child at heart. He's the type of guy who looks and sounds amazing on paper. His grades are top notch. His manners impeccable and his build a perfect specimen of a basketball player, yet it all falls flat against his grating personality. Midorima is a genius. He’s unyielding, dominant and utterly isolated. He succeeds in academics, piano, and basketball largely due to his individual efforts, and therefore attributes his success only to his hard work. Entering Teikou and joining the basketball team is a step in the right direction allowing him to work with others with his same skill level and when it comes to Akashi, someone better than him. In Teikou, the lonely child gained a rival, a group of people whose talent stood on par with his, and for the first time he becomes socially integrated into a small tight-knit clique known as the Generation of Miracles, his teammates. However, everything changes when Akashi, their leader, loses his ‘self’ to his other personality bent on victory. It’s during this formative time in his development that he loses his best friend and rival. The people he’s grown close to become strangers to him. They no longer work as a team but as individual pieces bent on outshining each other. Midorima easily follows suit and leaves the concept of teamwork behind becoming more inflexible, more neurotic with his lucky items and horoscopes. The only quip he has against his so-called ‘teammates’ is the fact that they no longer take practice seriously. For someone who strives to improve themselves at every turn this becomes the final straw. The lonely child discards the broken pieces and becomes even more isolated working on his three-pointers by himself, improving his skills by himself. In the end, Teikou molds him into the inflexible perfectionist Shuutoku, his new high school team, is forced to deal with.
Midorima elegantly crushes his opponents with his graceful shooting form that extends into his deadly three-pointers. He’s willful, and disregards others opinions with a poignant sense of superiority making it extremely easy to dislike him. This is the Midorima who enters Shuutoku. The one who the seniors have a hard time dealing with especially when their Coach grants the arrogant brat three wishes a day! It’s enough to drive any senpai to throw a pineapple at him, which happens on occasion. Yet, Midorima’s skill is undeniable so the team follows their Coach’s direction giving him leeway. It takes a long time for Midorima to transition into Shuutoku's rhythm. It’s not until he starts regarding his teammates as assets instead of burdens meant to drag him down that he starts playing like a real team with them. Slowly, but surely, the isolated child allows himself to believe in his team once more and ends up fighting alongside them and places his faith in their teamwork.
Midorima integrates into Shuutoku largely due to a first year like him, Takao, who makes it his job to interpret the tsundere to the rest of the world. Takoa filters Midorima’s words and delivers his intent often against his wishes. Therefore, Takao serves to humanize him making him more palatable. Midorima shows the world, a stoic and blunt personality coated with a deep-seated belief in fate making him hard to discern let alone get along with. The beauty of Takao comes in how easily he see’s the truth behind the reserved mask. He points out how often the Miracle hides a kind and thoughtful heart behind blunt words. This is shown when Midorima takes it upon himself to help Kagami improve his basketball skills in order to defeat this rival, Aomine. However, he does it in his typical arrogant manner by challenging Kagami to a one-on-one which he easily easily wins. Throughout the entire exchange it seems as if he’s looking down on Kagami and it’s not until Takao arrives and tells the audience the truth behind his actions - he actually wants to help Kagami see why his strategy won’t work and even goes as far as to point out another strategy that truly utilizes his strengths to use against Aomine - that his true intentions are revealed. Takao is also a great source to demonstrate just what kind of child Midorima truly is underneath all that self-confidence and arrogance.
Speaking of self-confidence, Midorima’s obsession with fate and Oha-Asa are all means to boost his self-confidence. Midorima believes in hard-work but he also believes in luck and fate. He does everything he can to garner the outcome he seeks which includes rigging his luck if he can. He wants fate to favor him and follows the local horoscope, Oha-Asa, to the letter no matter how ridiculous the item in order to garner that outcome. Some might attribute his eccentric attitude towards his religious following of Oha-Asa but it’s important to point out that Midorima always stuck out in a crowded room what with his green hair and eyes, genius level aptitude, and impossibly giant figure. Carrying around lucky items didn’t avert the stares he already got, they simply diverted them. Thus, his lucky items serve both as an outlet for his neurotic need to do everything he can to succeed and as a way to ignore the stares while giving him a physical manifestation of self-confidence.
Midorima is a little OCD when it comes to all aspects his life. He’s neurotically obsessive over such small matters like his horoscope rank for the day and the necessary lucky item he needs in order to off-set whatever bad luck may come his way. This OCD doesn’t stop with Oha-Asa either. He’s very precise about tying his shoes, starting with the left first then the right and about his nail care regime, believing it helps his performance to have perfect nails. Once when he was a kid, a cat scratched him and now he believes all cats are bad omens. The more OCD and obsessive he becomes the more precise he is, thus, the weirder he gets buying lucky items that cost hundreds of dollars or rival his own height and weight.
In the end, Midorima is an apt representation of the perfect high-schooler. He excels at both sports, art (in the form of the piano), and academics. Yet, his need to do things precisely his way make him inflexible and his fanatical superstitions isolate him from the world. Yet, it’s all these qualities that allowed him to become a Miracle in the first place. Yet, Midorima is more than a Miracle. He’s a tsundere, a loving brother, a thoughtful friend and hides a delicate heart that would have shattered long ago if not encased in an icy personality.
