Kiznaiver

Kiznaiver is a TRIGGER anime about human networks that make you autistic. It came around the same time as Space Patrol Luluco.

Characters

• Katsuhira Agata - The protag. He has no personality because his pain was taken as a kid by a masochist bitch called Noriko. Because of his aspergers, two other students beat him up for money. His character is a copy of Alpha Omega Nova.

• Chidori Takashiro - Katsuhira's best friend. Before Kacchon (That's what Chidori calls Katsuhira for some reason.) was made into a Nothingling, she loved him. Despite that being past tense, she gets cucked for Nori-chan regardless. She's a copy of Yoko Littner.

• Hajime Tenga - The reincarnation of Kamina.

• Nico Niiyama - Rich bitch who pretended to believe in fairies to get attention. She mirrors Mako Mankanshoku.

• Tsuguhito Yuta - Ladies' man who used to be fat.

• Honoka Maki - Killed a man.

• Yoshiharu Hisomu - The seventh kiznaiver, opted in get off on everyone else's pain - 'cos that's his fetish.

• Noriko Sonozaki - Makes people autistic by taking their pain and takes drugs to not go into shock from it.

Story

By no prompting of any of them, seven high schools students are forced into the "Kizna system" for the summer, where any pain they feel gets evenly split between them. These students were specifically chosen because they displaced each of the seven deadly sins Noriko's version of the seven deadly sins, which are as such.

• Imbecile
• Annoying self-righteous
• Musclehead thug
• Cunning Normal
• High-and-mighty
• Eccentric headcase
• Immoral

After their Kizna bullshit wears off, Katsuhira learns that the reason he doesn't feel pain and that he's autistic is because he and nineteen others got connected to Noriko via another Kizna system. This lead to one 19th of Noriko's pain being felt by each of them and Noriko feeling 19 people's pain. The ultimate outcome of the experiments was Noriko going on meds to survive the pain and the 19 others becoming either autistic or unresponsive entirely, as well as albino; because if you don't have pain, that happens to you apparently.

It turns out that Noriko could literally just let go of everyone else's pain and stop taking the meds, but she feared dying alone so she held on to it regardless. Katsuhira manages to get Noriko to give back his and the other 18 children's pain and eventually rid them of their stupors.

Also this is the dimension where Trigger-tan finds Nova-kun.
