In [[05 electride|#05 electride]], Kamui is referred to by [[Mokutaro Shiroyabu]], who is attempting to eliminate him, as living inside a point. This conception of points seems to refer to a kind of invisible existence that allows messages to be implanted to those ready to receive them; whether becoming Kamui in the case of the Shelter Kids, or reading the messages and potentially utilizing his power in the case of [[observer]]s like [[Kosuke Kurumizawa]]. Kamui is also described as the "main character of all of this", a sort of omnipresence that exists throughout the game's reality. It is unclear if this metafictional conception of Kamui was brought into Kanto by the Shelter Kids Policy or if the Format Kamui was just a manifestation of it as well, but it suggests that Kamui Uehara may represent the player in some form. For example, it is said that Kurumizawa "exists within Kamui's power", and he hides within the player's power by acting as the go-between between the player and the game in the form of the game's cursor. | In [[05 electride|#05 electride]], Kamui is referred to by [[Mokutaro Shiroyabu]], who is attempting to eliminate him, as living inside a point.
