Yet, if Shidou's "leadership" was supposed to provide unity and a clear sense of direction, I think he had already failed in that one simple regard. He's likely to face mutiny before long.

This all depends on how he tries to take control, does he do it through respect, fear, or temptation? if he plans on controling through respect he has failed at gaining the respect of at least 4 students. (main cast) now what if he controls through fear? consider how easy it would be to just kick somebody off the bus, maybe even break a leg before you do so, it might be effective, and the main cast would be in danger of this if they don't follow him and he goes this way. then there is temptation, the world is different now, and he con likely control the same way cults do now, sex or drugs, or both. he can simply say forget modesty for get inhibitions, go at it till you can't anymore, orgie time!, and maintain control that way by reducing his "followers" to people that react to pleasure and fear only.
