Dimitri is memorable because his collapse is not cosmetic. Three Houses lets him get ugly, obsessive, and frightening before it even considers the possibility of recovery, which gives the character an intensity the genre often talks about but rarely commits to.

Why it matters
Dimitri matters because JRPG character arcs land harder when they are willing to look genuinely damaged.
