In Episode 14, when your Candy was looking for two more musicians to play in the band with Castiel and Lysander; Armin claimed knowing how to play the drums; but later he told the group that he was talking about playing drums on Guitar Hero. Castiel and Lysander seemed a bit angry on that but Iris found it funny and felt bad that Armin couldn't really play with them, since she would have liked to get to know him better during practices.
Unlike his brother, Alexy, Armin is quite interested in girls. In Episode 15, when your Candy asks him if he has seen a girl with long brown hair and ripped jeans (Deborah), he says that he would have liked to see that. In the same episode Armin offers your Candy some help in finding more information on Deborah (which was later revealed that he actually just wanted to get his video game back from the teacher's lounge). When your Candy corrects Armin every time he says Deborah's name wrong, he seems to enjoy it and says her name wrong on purpose. In Episode 20, Armin is also found interested in talking to Lucy; and when she asked him if he wanted to accompany your Candy and her to the courtyard, he happily accepts.
Armin is shameless and seems to have quite a perverted mind. In Episode 17, when Rosalya talked about your Candy's underwear in front of boys; unlike the other boys, Armin didn't blush or keep quiet, he easily commented about your Candy's underwear without getting embarrassed. He reveals in Episode 12 that his brother, Alexy, shops for his clothing. In Episode 18, when your Candy goes to get rabbits from the science lab with Nathaniel and Armin, a rabbit fell asleep on Candy's arms, close to her chest, to which Armin comments: calling the rabbit lucky to be sleeping on Candy's chest.
Armin is also known for being super lazy. Most of the teachers have already called him “Lazy", "Idle", "Dispersed". In Episode 20, when your Candy asks him if he has learned the text that Mr.Boris gave them, he said that he preferred doing that on the day of Auditions, to which your Candy calls him "Carefree" and an “I-don’t-care-ist” kind of person. Armin doesn't prefer flashy and bright clothes; instead he likes black and thinks that girls in black clothes look good. He hates being in the gardening club, because he thinks it's too bright.
In his Alternate Life story, Armin has visibly matured and better at communication.
Relationships[]
Friends[]
Your Candy and Armin will have a good relationship if your Candy is a bit knowledgeable about video games or even not. In Episode 15, when your Candy comes out of Classroom B after hearing Mr. Faraize's announcements, she accidentally slips and Armin helps her to get up. He also jokes openly to your Candy and has offered her to play with his video game many times. He seems to get jealous when Candy bought a gift for Alexy, but not for him.
Armin first joked about Kentin having leveled up, just like in Pokemon. Armin and Alexy also joked about Kentin wearing things like, military pants, that are out of fashion; but when Kentin was sad on hearing rude comments from Lucy, Armin helped him to feel better by taking him to his brother. Although Kentin sometimes claims to find both twins annoying, he never makes a move to get away from them.
Family[]
