Scissor Seven - Characters & Cast

Initially, his motivation is purely financial: to earn enough money to restore his lost memories. This quickly evolves into a powerful desire to protect the residents of Chicken Island from the threats his past life attracts. His ultimate motivation becomes the preservation of his new identity and the found family he has come to love.

Seven's arc is a journey of self-reconstruction. He begins as a bumbling, kind-hearted amnesiac trying to become a killer, a role he is fundamentally unsuited for. As his past as the ruthless assassin Qi is revealed, his primary goal shifts from recovering his memories to actively resisting them. He fears losing the compassion and friendships he's gained. Across the seasons, he learns to integrate the skills of his past self without succumbing to his cold-blooded nature. His arc culminates in him consciously choosing to be Seven, the hairdresser who protects his friends, rather than Qi, the killer who lives for missions. He learns that his past doesn't have to define his future.

Her initial motivation is to complete her mission to kill Seven and prove herself to her master, Green Phoenix. Over time, this is replaced by a conflicted desire to understand Seven and, eventually, a powerful drive to protect him from the dangers of their shared world, even at great personal cost.

Thirteen is introduced as a skilled and serious assassin tasked with eliminating Seven. Her arc is about unlearning the rigid assassin code that emotions are a fatal flaw. Her tragic backstory reveals she joined the assassins after her mother's death, seeking strength so she would never be helpless again. Her interactions with the goofy and compassionate Seven consistently challenge her worldview. She evolves from an antagonist to a reluctant ally, and eventually to Seven's protector. In the Season 3 finale, she directly defies her master to save Seven, completing her transformation from a tool of the assassins' league to an individual guided by her own feelings and loyalties.

His primary motivation appears to be money, specifically to pay off the massive debt for Seven's medical bills. However, his true, underlying motivation is to protect his own and ensure a safe, peaceful life for his son, Xiao Fei, and his adopted son, Seven.

Dai Bo starts as a seemingly greedy, cynical manager who pushes Seven into the assassination business for money. He is the comedic engine of the early seasons, often acting as the straight man to Seven's foolishness. However, his backstory reveals a deep-seated desire for justice and protection, stemming from his son Xiao Fei's past. His arc shows him transforming from a purely self-interested manager into a genuine, albeit grumpy, father figure to Seven. He becomes fiercely protective of Seven and the island, willing to risk his own life and confront powerful enemies to keep his small family safe, revealing the loyal and caring heart beneath his tough exterior.
