NEW CHARACTER DETAILS:
Tao Isonokami (voiced by Saori Hayami) – “So how about we all walk home together?” The protagonist’s classmate. A third-year student who is a member of the lacrosse club. “I’ve had spiritual powers ever since I was little. Everyone at Bethel calls me the Saint.” She’s caring and kind-hearted. “I’ve just been having these weird dreams lately.” She’s had a sixth sense since she was little. She assists Bethel’s Japanese branch, and supports the protagonist and his friends when they join Bethel. “I keep hearing this distant voice. Like someone far away’s calling out to me.”
Yuzuru Atsuta (voiced by Kaito Ishikawa) – A friend of the protagonist who is responsible, capable, and assertive. “Hey, you heading back alone? You should walk with us.” He is a principled and upright young man, and fights alongside Bethel in a provisional unit to protect his sister Miyazu. “We’re the only family we’ve got. I don’t think it’s that strange to look out for my little sister.” By wandering into Da’at alongside the protagonist, he obtains further abilities, and newly swears to fight to protect the peace of Tokyo.- What could have possibly happened to Tokyo while we were in that tunnel?
Ichiro Dazai (voiced by Kishou Taniyama) – The protagonist’s classmate. A cheerful guy, though he can be gauche at times. “All right, so word on the street is a bunch of monsters have been seen hanging around this tunnel!” While livestreaming, he, too, becomes involved in the Takanawa Tunnel collapsing incident and wanders into Da’at. “Yow! Sheesh, ceiling’s pretty low… Pretty dark in here, too. Looks dangerous.” He embraces Bethel’s call to action and swears to fight the demons, hoping to prove his worth for a noble cause. – Look, I’m borderline useless at school… And I’m always making trouble for other people. “But even a guy like me wants to be someone people can turn to!” “Oh, um… hi there.”
Miyazu Atsuta (voiced by Ryou Hirohashi) – Yuzuru’s little sister and only living family member. “Uh, would you mind checking up on my brother?” Shy and reserved, she’s often seen visiting the nurse’s office. When Jouin High School is assaulted by demons, she, too, is caught up in the chaos. “I know he’s always looking after me, but… I get worried about him, too.”
Hayao Koshimizu (voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda) – Prime Minister of Japan, Chief of the Bethel Japan Branch. Japan’s prime minister and Bethel’s main representative of the Japanese branch. “My name is Koshimizu. I’m in charge here in addition to being Japan’s Prime Minster.” Calm, collected, and strategic… “Apologies for dragging you into this.” …he offers the demon summoning program to Ichiro and friends, asking them to assist Bethel. “Thank you. I admire your courage.”
The protagonist obtains newfound, supernatural powers after wandering into Da’at. Upon safely returning to Tokyo, he joins Bethel, an elite organization devoted to fighting demons, and swears to protect Tokyo, along with his classmates.
However, a band of demons suddenly attacks their academy. Will the protagonist and his friends be able to protect other students? And what is the motive behind the legendary demon that awakens in Da’at, the “other” Tokyo?
