Description
When he first appears, Ryo comes off as a typical "tough guy", being rude loner who tries to keep to himself, though Saki Kimishima later explains that he just has trouble expressing himself.

After becoming trapped in the alternate world, Ryo is the most unnerved by the events. He refuses to accept the reality of the situation and his tough guy façade quickly falls away to reveal that he actually a coward. He is even scared of his partner Digimon, and is disgusted by the Larva Digimon.

Over time, his mental state continues to worsen. He becomes paranoid, believing that the others see him as dead weight and intend to use their partners to kill him and he begins desperately clinging to his memories of his mother, begging her to come save him and seemingly forgetting that she was dead. Upon seeing 's human disguise, he instantly sees similarities to his mother and begins to cling to her. However, when Arukenimon's true form is revealed, he immediately recognizes that she is not his mother, but this revelation only drives him further into despair.

After being reminded of his mother's death by Haru, Ryo still clings to her memory, believing that he is already dead and the alternate world is the afterlife, and he will see his mother again in there. He then hallucinates her and is so obsessed with said hallucination he is oblivious to his surroundings.
