    After traveling through the [[Yume Nikki:Dense Woods A#The Infinite Road|Infinite Road]] of the [[Yume Nikki:Dense Woods A|Dense Woods A]], [[Yume Nikki:Madotsuki|Madotsuki]] will come across a road that is eventually blocked by traffic cones. By the cones is Shitai-san, who is completely immobile. Shitai-san is a bloody corpse with a gray shirt, blue pants, purple shoes, dark hair, and rotting, green skin.  His left arm also appears to be severely broken, causing a bone to poke through. Interacting with him will give Madotsuki the [[Yume Nikki:Effects#Stoplight|Stoplight]] effect. By using the [[Yume Nikki:Effects#Cat|Cat]] effect near Shitai-san, he will slightly twitch, though this is his only reaction to any of the effects.


    Using the [[Effects#Cat_.EF.BC.88.E3.81.AD.E3.81.93.EF.BC.89|Cat]] effect near him causes him to twitch. Other than that, he doesn't react to anything in particular.

    One of the more popular [[Theories|theories]] about the game is that [[Madotsuki]] has been in some kind of car accident, and Shitai-san could represent this by showing her past. Something to note is that a [[Jellyfish]] appears not too far away from him just like they appear in the [[The Ending|ending to the game]]. Other things that support this theme is [[Monoko]]'s event, [[Takofuusen]], and the [[Severed Heads]], not to mention the many odd reactions characters have to the Stoplight effect, such as the [[Buyo Buyo]] and [[Wheelies]].

    It should also be noted that, upon closer inspection of Shitai-san's sprite, they appear to have a bone sticking out of their arm.

A [[Yume Nikki:Jellyfish|Jellyfish]] is located just northeast of the corpse in the [[Yume Nikki:Dense Woods B|Dense Woods B]], similar to how they appear in the [[Yume Nikki:The Ending|game's ending]]. It's possible that the Jellyfish are able to sense when death occurs and will locate the source.

    Overview

    After traveling through the Infinite Road of the Dense Woods A, Madotsuki will come across a road that is eventually blocked by traffic cones. By the cones is Shitai-san, who is completely immobile. Shitai-san is a bloody corpse with a gray shirt, blue pants, purple shoes, dark hair, and rotting, green skin. His left arm also appears to be severely broken, causing a bone to poke through. Interacting with him will give Madotsuki the Stoplight effect. By using the Cat effect near Shitai-san, he will slightly twitch, though this is his only reaction to any of the effects.

    Trivia

    Just out of reach...
    • Shitai-san is one of two effect NPCs that does not react to the Knife effect, with the other being the Guillotine.

    One seemingly reoccurring theme throughout the game is the theme of traffic accidents. It's possible Madotsuki had been in some kind of car accident, and Shitai-san could represent this by showing her past or could even be the corpse of someone she knew that died in the same crash. Other characters that are seemingly connected to the theme of car accidents include Monoko's event and Seccom Masada-sensei's Spaceship crash, as well as characters that have odd reactions to the Stoplight effect such as Buyo Buyo and the Wheelies.

    The Jellyfish northeast of Shitai-san.

    It should also be noted that, upon closer inspection of Shitai-san's sprite, they appear to have a bone sticking out of their arm. This could draw a connection to Monoko, as she sprouts several arms when the Stoplight effect is used near her, which are often speculated by fans to be less grotesque depictions of car accident injuries, particularly bones piercing the skin.

    Some other details to note are elements nearby Shitai-san. A Jellyfish is located just northeast of the corpse in the Dense Woods B, similar to how they appear in the game's ending. It's possible that the Jellyfish are able to sense when death occurs and will locate the source. A train track is also seen nearby, and a Traincar can be found elsewhere in the same forest, relating to the car accident theory mentioned above.
