Unidentified 3-person unit led by an overwhelming genius

Character page for the members of the rap group 1Nm8 from Paradox Live. Beware of possible unmarked spoilers.

Three artists with an extremely high affinity for Phantometal, capable of producing unique illusions. Kei, the leader, used to be the center of VISTY, but left the group for his own reasons, and now the three of them live under a single roof. The otherworldly atmosphere they create moves the hearts of anyone listening.

Character Designer: Hou

Lyricist: Young Yazzy


    Tropes that apply to the group 
  • Big Brother Instinct: Itsuki and Kei towards Rokuta. While Itsuki is the one Rokuta grew up with so he refers to him as an older brother, it's Kei who is Rokuta's biological older brother.
  • Image Song: From the -Road to Legend- matches:
  • Letters 2 Numbers: Their unit name reads as 'inmate'. As in, prison inmate.
  • Magic Music: Chisei describes their music as something that can provide healing to its listeners. Itsuki thinks Kei's songs have something special in them that, when combined with the Paradox Live stage, literally provides healing and freedom.
  • Power Trio
  • Only One Name: Itsuki and Rokuta's last names, if they have any, are unknown.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Kei formed the group so that they can join Paradox Live and spread word on the dangers of using Phantometal.
  • You Are Number 6: Their MC names are just numbers. In Rokuta's case, it's literal.

With my own hands ... I'll bring it all to an end.

A genius of overwhelming sensitivity. Making music is almost like breathing for him. He cares about little else than music, and has few other interests. However, in his own way, he does care for Itsuki and Rokuta. He was once the unshakeable center of VISTY at the height of their popularity, but left the group for his own reasons.

His character hashtags are #Former idol, #Soft as tofu, and #Music is life. His trauma hashtags are #Muddy stream of sound, #Younger brother vanished suddenly, and #Sorrowful melody.

  • Dark and Troubled Past: Orphaned at a young age. His younger brother, who was his only surviving relative, suddenly disappeared. He became an idol to find said brother, and upon finally reuniting with him, discovered that his brother has amnesia due to being kidnapped and experimented on.
  • Idol Singer: A former one; his departure from VISTY caused them to drop in popularity. He left because the reason he was doing music was to find his missing younger brother. He joined Paradox Live with Itsuki and Rokuta so that they can get rid of Phantometals.
  • Long-Lost Relative: He is Rokuta's older brother.
  • Teen Genius: How he's described by Chisei. He's been writing songs since he was young. A song that he made as a duet for him and Rokuta became the catalyst for their reunion.
  • We Used to Be Friends: He used to be VISTY's center, but has since left them for currently unknown reasons. He reveals to Saimon and Yohei that he only entered the music industry so he could find his brother, and left once he fulfilled his goal.

    Itsuki (MC Name: 5)

Smiles and tears ... does that expression have any meaning?

A dedicated rationalist who lacks emotional expression. Was previously a subject in Phantom Metal's human experiments. During the experiments, he acquired superhuman memory, known as "shutter eye," which makes it impossible for him to forget painful or sad memories, so he began to suppress his emotions as a means of self-preservation.

His character hashtags are #Total efficiency freak, #Holds a grudge, and #Delicate but handsome. His trauma hashtags are #The memory of pain is too vivid, #Can't forget a single thing, and #Withered tears.

  • Big Brother Instinct: Towards Rokuta, who he treats as his younger brother despite being the same age. While Itsuki is younger, he also takes care of Kei in a similar manner.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Alter Trigger kidnapped orphan children to use in their Phantometal experiments.
  • Emotionless Boy: Since he cannot forget anything, especially the painful memories, he began to suppress his emotions. Even so, because of his phenomenal memory, he also tends to hold a grudge.
  • Meaningful Name: Itsuki's name contains the gorowase number for 'five'.
  • Photographic Memory: The result of the experiments done on him. This is also implied to be the cause of his trauma.
  • The Stoic

    Rokuta (MC Name: 6)

I hope everyone can become "happy"!

Has an easygoing, friendly, and innocent personality. He underwent Phantom Metal experiments at the same facility as Itsuki. As a byproduct of the experiments, he gained unusual physical abilities, but it put a massive strain on his body. During the intense experiments, he also lost his memories of events before he became a test subject.

His character hashtags are #Big dogs are expensive to maintain, #Fueled by fried chicken, and #Infinite strength, infinite appetite. His trauma hashtags are #A past he can't remember, #Body has gone crazy, and #What is happiness?.

  • Big Eater: Not just for karaage, but for other food as well. This is because his Super-Strength also needs a super energy source.
  • Cloudcuckoolander
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Alter Trigger kidnapped orphan children to use in their Phantometal experiments. In Rokuta's case, he was taken away from his older brother, and the experiments caused him to lose his memories.
  • Does Not Know His Own Strength: Due to his Super-Strength, he mentions that he always gets injured because he can't properly gauge how strong he is. Kei even has to trim Rokuta's nails for him to avoid injury.
  • Forgetful Jones: Has a tendency to be airheaded. Itsuki theorizes that it's an after-effect of the Alter Trigger experiments, as he starts forgetting things again after the Paradox Live.
  • Given Name Reveal: SHOWDOWN reveals his name to be Minori. Despite already knowing this, Kei doesn't insist on calling him that and calls him Rokuta.
  • Japanese Sibling Terminology: He calls Itsuki with the suffix nii, showing their brotherly relationship. He doesn't do the same for Kei. More accurately, he can't bring himself to call Kei onii-chan as he did in the past, due to losing his memories.
  • Meaningful Name: Rokuta's name contains means 'six'.
  • Long-Lost Relative: He is Kei's younger brother named Minori.
  • Stepford Smiler: While he's really a good, peppy guy, he's very concerned about worrying Kei, who believes that everything Rokuta experienced was his fault. Because of this, he can't bring himself to treat Kei like an older brother.
  • Super-Strength: The result of the experiments done on him.
  • Sweet Tooth
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Karaage (fried chicken).
  • Wistful Amnesia: Like Ryu, Rokuta doesn't remember anything about his past. This is an effect of the Alter Trigger experiments. Itsuki thinks that Rokuta's memories are being repressed as something similar to a trap reaction.
  • You Are Number 6: In the Alter Trigger research facility, he was referred to as No. 6.
