It seems like this was never really addressed. This piqued my curiosity
primarily because the supporter was stated by Mr. Outside to be one of the
Seleção, and it seemed odd that one of the Seleção would willingly facilitate
the game by enforcing its rules. Furthermore, the Supporter would have nothing
to fear from breaking the rules of the game, so it would seem logical for
him/her to pocket the money and do with it as he/she pleases. So that would
seem to indicate that the Supporter is someone in league with Mr. Outside.

But who was the Supporter? All the evidence seems to indicate that it was
Number XII, but can anyone confirm this?

Who was the Supporter of the Seleção in Eden of the East?


It's not confirmed who the Supporter is, it's left open to interpretation.
It's possible that it's Seleção No. 8, since we don't know much about him (or
No. 7) but at least No. 8 seems to be familiar with Mr. Outside. It's possible
that Mr. Outside is the Supporter, being the one who judges is the money was
used correctly or not.

But seeing as how it was revealed that Hajime Hiura actually wasn't killed by
the Supporter in the _The King of Eden movie_ and that the "proper" use of the
money can seem to be anything (including covering up murder or firing missiles
at Japan), it's possible that there _is no Supporter_ and it was just
something Mr. Outside made up in order to keep all the Seleção in check and
suspicious enough of each other so there would be no collusion.

The supporter is never revealed because there might not have even been one.
When No.9 was given a phone he is told by Mr. Outside that "the supporter
might not even know he is the supporter".

Technically, every player in the game is the supporter, and every player is
not. Because the concept that a player may be officially designated the
supporter would create a situation of impunity (who watches the watcher?), and
players are told that even the supporter may not know that is there role, it
makes much more sense that the players all can fulfill this purpose.

There is a point at which one player will look at the actions of another and
feel they are self-serving, and decide they need to put an end to them. They
may try to confront the other party, use their funds to hinder or redirect
them, or destroy their efforts. But in the end, if they come to believe they
have a moral out in the role of the supporter, and virtually unlimited funds
to get them out of the legal trouble, the societal justice impulse could kick
in, and they may kill the player.

There is also a possibility, based on the nature of Juiz, that Juiz may also
help fulfill this role. There may be certain conditions or thresholds that
will trigger actions by the long arm of the concierge to take actions against
misguided players. This is not evidenced (that I can remember), but it is also
possible that Juiz may indirectly responsible for a player acting in the role
of the supporter, by ensuring that actions that would trigger them to
retaliate will come to their attention.

Alternatively, self-serving players may be fed information that will cause
them to act offensively to another, instigating retaliation from the offended
by the information they, in turn, are delivered.

Also, keep in mind that a player overtly acting as the supporter would be seen
as a threat to every other player, and would almost certainly become a target
themselves, since transactional data becomes public upon use.

All theoretical, but there may be something there. Pleasure to serve.
Nobelesse oblige.

The supporter could be 7 or 8 as they are never seen doing anything or Mr.
Outside AKA no. 12 (AKA Ato Saizo) could be the supporter. Most likely he just
would wipe the memory of the person. At the end of the game he does wipe all
the other alive player memories but 9 keeps his possibly due to him already
having wiped it twice. Then he asks the next person he picks up the question
he uses to select them. Then 9 hits him with a slipper (lol)

It is Juiz. No. IV, in episode 3 was sabotaged by juiz making sure the text
message went to his wife instead of his mistress.
