tv tropes/spoilers:

• The leader of the Crazy Diamonds, Japan's largest motorcycle gang. Mondo is foul-mouthed and doesn't take orders well, but would never hit a girl or break his promises. At first, he and Ishimaru are constantly at each others throats, but they eventually become blood brothers. He murders Chihiro in a fit of blind rage and is executed by Monobear after the trial.

• Badass Biker

• Badass Longcoat

• Berserk Button: Do not call him weak.

• Big Damn Heroes: In IF, Mondo rescues Mukuro Ikusaba from countless Monobear units by using a motorcycle to get her to safety. Ironically, he uses the motorcycle that was used in his execution in the game proper to do so.

• Conflicting Loyalty: Between his friendship with the other students and his promise to keep the Crazy Diamonds together as long as possible.

• Cruel and Unusual Death: Tied to a motorcycle and sent around an electrified cage at high speeds until he's little more than a fine paste. Which Monobear apparently eats.

• Delinquent Hair: A giant pompadour shaped like a corn cob.

• Face Death with Dignity: Unlike the previous murderer, Mondo accepts his punishment once he's been fingered as the culprit, and maintains a stoic demeanor even as the execution happens. His main regret wasn't to die, but to not fulfill his words.

• Freak Out: Monobear's "motivational" DVD (which shows the Crazy Diamonds breaking up without him) and threat to reveal their darkest secrets (that Mondo indirectly caused his brother Daiya's death) puts him under some heavy mental stress. Eventually, he snaps, flying into a rage during which he kills Chihiro.

• Gender Vocabulary Slip: Kyouko realizes he was aware of Chihiro's true gender when he starts referring to Chihiro as "that kid" rather than "that girl".

• Hair-Trigger Temper: Which eventually leads him to kill Chihiro in an uncontrollable fit of rage.

• Hidden Depths: He loves dogs (of any size; he used to have a Maltese) and wants to become a carpenter, so he can build rather than break things.

• Hot Blooded

• I Gave My Word: "A man's promise" is worth a lot to him. He even rearranges the changing rooms after Chihiro's death to keep his secret for as long as possible. His Famous Last Words are him lamenting that he can't keep The Promise he made to the dying Daiya.

• Improbable Hairstyle: His pompadour is big enough to get its own towel in the sauna.

• I Never Said It Was Poison: Referring to Chihiro's blue sports jersey (when, aside from Celes, only his murderer could've known what color it was) is what exposes him as the killer.

• Japanese Delinquents: Naturally, as the leader of a large motorcycle gang.

• Japanese Pronouns: "Ore". It can't be anything else.

• My God, What Have I Done?: When he regains his senses and realizes that he killed Chihiro.

• Death Equals Redemption: He doesn't put up much of a defense during the trial, believing he should atone for Chihiro's death (and probably Daiya's, too).

• Sympathetic Murderer

• My Greatest Failure: Feeling overshadowed by his older brother, Daiya, Mondo challenged him to a motorcycle race. His reckless driving almost led to him being hit by a truck, but Daiya saved his life. He died from his injuries, and Mondo blames himself for never having been strong enough.

• No Indoor Voice

• Odd Friendship: With Ishimaru.

• Punny Name: Combined with his brother, Daiya, they form daiyamondo - diamond, the namesake of their gang.

• Sir Swears-a-Lot

• Survivor Guilt

• Villainous Breakdown: It bears mentioning that his version is nowhere near as severe as the other murderers when found out, due to his status as Sympathetic Murderer.

• Wouldn't Hit a Girl: When he is charged with guarding the crime scene for the first case, Naegi points out that his adherence to this trope could cause trouble for him if the culprit is one of the girls, a thought that causes Mondo visible discomfort. During a free time segment, he also challenges Naegi to a one-on-one match, but Naegi points out he's never been in a fight before, but maybe Sakura Oogami would be a better match! But Mondo can't spar with Sakura because he won't hit girls.
