Plot
Mido's death in the Relight special
Mido takes part in the Meetings of Death along with other members of the Yotsuba Group. He is eventually approached by Suguru Shimura, who is unable to go along with Kira's plans any longer. They hold a private meeting at Mido's house on the night of Higuchi's arrest and are later joined by Reiji Namikawa to discuss Kira's possible identity and make plans to attempt to stop him.
