Shiki Fujioka

"'You're an influencer. The only thing you can hurt is somebody's restaurant on Yelp.' - Jigen Heath, S22E1"Shiki Fujioka is the Ultimate Street Food Influencer. He kept his reason for joining SOS a secret until late into the game. In S22E6, he revealed his reason for appearing on the 22nd season was to boost his social media brand.

Introduction
''“Hey! I’m Shiki Fujioka. Nice to meet ya. I’m a chef and full-time influencer from Osaka. While I can cook a lot of different dishes, my specialty is street food. I hope I can win the hearts of my shipmates and the viewers at home with my cooking!”'' - Shiki's introduction in the theatre

First Motive
Shiki, despite going night swimming in the freezing cold pool with Jigen, Elias, and Max, was mostly unaffected by this motive. His constitution rolls kept him feeling healthy for the duration of the Home-sea-kness.

Second Motive
Shiki was not selected to participate in the Secret Theatre.

Third Motive
Shiki was handcuffed to Jigen Heath.

Fourth Motive
Shiki's band was placed on his right calf. It did not go off.

Fifth Motive
Shiki received Ginjiro Irashi's secret, and never revealed it.

Shiki's secret was immediately revealed by Quain McNair. Shiki claimed this secret was his in front of the remaining participants in the theatre.

Sixth Motive
Shiki was tasked with revealing his most embarrassing moment. He revealed this in the group chat, stating:"lupineshiki: there was this one time when i was in high school where i was working at this okonomiyaki stand. it was like my first job i had besides working in my parents restaurant and i was this annoying little teenager working with a bunch of hardass adults""lupineshiki: so this stand was getting a lot of attention and a food critic was gonna come review our food""lupineshiki: and i got so nervous that i like really fucked up and used powdered sugar instead of flour and then everyone laughed at me this stupid kid who somehow got the two mixed up???? and the food tasted terrible and we got a bad review and i was mentioned in it and i hate it i hate it i hate it""lupineshiki: THERE OCTAVIUS ARE YOU HAPPY"Shiki was slapped in the face by Quain for his dare.

Jigen Heath
"'I think you're beautiful. This comparison is probably stupid, but...you know how light filters through the leaves in trees? That's what your vitiligo reminds me of. It reminds me of a calm day in summer, when you get to relax and take a nap under a tree.' - Shiki admits his admiration to Jigen, S22E4"

Frei Grendahl
"'I'm sorry you felt like there was no way for you to be happy. Maybe, in that way, we're more similar than I thought.' - Shiki speaks with Frei in the boiler room, S22E5"

Elias Shirohana
"'Elias and I have a nice friendship forming, I think. He might be mute, but he’s got quite a personality. Not gonna lie, I think he’s kind of a little shit sometimes, laughing to himself all silently in a corner. It’s funny.' - Shiki speaking about Elias during his confessional, S22E3"

Quotes
''"The fact that I’m going to spend most of my time working until I’m too old to have fun scares me because I was forced to grow up too fast and I never got to have fun as a kid because of it so I’m kind of in the middle of my quarter life crisis and I worry everything in my life is meaningless! Y’know, just your average existential crisis type situation!" -'' to Jigen, S22E2

"Everyone has value here, even if we won't matter a hundred years from now. Maybe you're satisfied with being forgotten, but I'm not." - to Yumeko, S22E2

"It's funny how food can trigger memories for people, associating certain foods and meals with different memories. That's something I want to do when I cook. I want to remind people of that warm, happy feeling whenever they eat something I make." - to Jigen, S22E3

''"Caring about the relationships we've made might make being here harder, but I think that's a burden I'm ready to bear. Maybe that makes me a fool, but I would want anyone here to do the same for me. "'' - to Jigen, S22E3

"Make sure we aren’t forgotten, ok? Make sure nothing we’ve done is meaningless. Try your best out there, and we’ll do the same for you.” - to Ginjiro, Final Nautical Trial (this would have been Shiki's final words if kelly didn't lose typing rights right before she hit send...grief)
