Meikyuu Storyline

    Kazami Yuuji 

The protagonist of the previous story and the protagonist here as well. The majority of Meikyuu's main story is a flashback starting when he was a child and showing how his family was destroyed, he eventually became a terrorist and was eventually rescued from that life, events which were only hinted at in Kajitsu.

He has a sarcastic and arrogant personality, though beneath that he harbors major emotional trauma and an extremely poor self image.


  • The Ace: Though considered a normal child, Yuuji does have his own area of brilliance: He’s an extremely gifted assassin, mental complexes aside. He’s so good that despite lapses in protocol he’s able to mimic Asako’s work so well that only JB really catches on that anything is even unusual about their ace’s performance. Further, when he’s in a small unit later in the story, if he’s relaxed everyone figures it’s safe and if he tenses up and declares an enemy is nearby without any proof they instantly believe his instinct.
  • Ax-Crazy: When Yuuji is sent to Terrorist Elementary School he’s warned not to kill anyone even if he gets mad.
  • Big Sister Worship: Pretty much literally. Yuuji became so awed by Kazuki that in his own words he began to see her as a god more than a human.
  • Bishie Sparkles: When kicking Amane in the shins to prove that her legs fell asleep, Yuuji starts grinning and sparkling. Masochist that she is, she’s pretty happy herself.
  • Blood from the Mouth: Though it’s not fatal, when forced into a prolonged firefight with no choice but to kill, Yuuji vomits so much that he begins puking blood and blacking out.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: During Yuuji’s terrorist school days, everyone is already a mentally unstable wreck with only a few moderately decent people. Then they’re drugged, manipulated and taught to kill.
  • Broken Hero: Yuuji’s life is one long traumatic line of abuse, though in the present he’s fairly extroverted in his weird, sarcastic way.
  • Chick Magnet: The number of girls in the story that don’t fall for Yuuji amounts to… One. Two if you count his mom. And why would you count his mom? That’s just weird.
  • Child Soldier: Terrorists like Heath Oslo run a school to raise them. Yuuji excelled there.
  • Class Clown: During military school, Yuuji and petty criminal Danny are put together in a group because they’re both irreverent, clownish and annoying. Problem child group assembled!
  • Clueless Chick-Magnet: Kazuki told Yuuji to be careful he didn’t end up breaking a lot of hearts, something he promised sincerely. At this point, the flashback is interrupted by JB exploding that he didn’t listen to a thing she said. Not having met the girls apart from Sachi at this point, his chick magnet powers are instead turned on his sister, Asako and JB.
  • Creepy Child: While under the care of Oslo, Yuuji was a largely emotionless doll except when some guy reminded him of his dad and got his eye ripped out and his head beaten in with a vase for his trouble.
  • Creepy Crossdresser: Yuuji has a girly face and became an assassin some around the age of twelve to fourteen, so to get close to targets he would often dress in women’s clothing.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: Compared to how he was in the first game, his attitude and demeanor in the after-routes is much more emotive, as noted by each of the girls. Yumiko lampshades this in Sachi's After-Story, noting that Yuuji rarely said more than four words in any given conversation at first and yet now is getting married to someone. However, special mention goes to Makina's After-Story, in which Yuuji's softened up so much that he can joke around openly, nearly cry when tragedy seemingly strikes and even pull pranks of Makina-level tastelessness on Michiru.
  • Despair Event Horizon
    • Even after Yuuji clubs his father with a bottle of sake and rescues his mother, after being heavily beaten and raped she doesn’t have the will to really entertain the idea of running again. She just gives up and sits there while telling him to take what money they have and run for it. When he returns for her, she’s already committed suicide and claimed she killed her husband.
    • Subverted later when he’s in despair about a bear attacking John. At first it seems like he’s given up all hope, but then he arms himself and begins tracking the bear. He fails to save John, but ends up with a new resolve and goal in life rather than just loafing around.
  • Doesn't Like Guns: Heath Oslo has a distaste for guns compared to close quarters combat, so Yuuji’s training in firearms was fairly token. Yuuji also has his own problems with them: They say a weapon should feel like an extension of your arm, but Yuuji feels like an extension of the gun. Cold, simple and machinelike.
  • Doom Magnet: After awhile Yuuji starts to believe that any women near him die.
  • Do Well, But Not Perfect
    • Yuuji was a very good assassin... but he was so good that he caught too much attention and a lot of effort was put into tracking his work.
    • He’s advised not to stand out at military school. Do what the instructor tells you and nothing more.
  • Elegant Gothic Lolita: Courtesy of Heath Oslo wanting to play dressup with a doll of his own. Check the cgs: That’s not Kazuki with the blank stare and frilly black dress.
  • Empty Shell: After being adopted by Heath Oslo, Yuuji was already so traumatized that when dressed up and treated like the world’s most lifelike doll he didn’t react let alone fight back. He just sat staring into space while Heath cooed at how cute Yuuji was. He starts reacting more and gets sent to terrorist school, but after heavy conditioning and drugging he’s back to an empty shell when Asako and JB pick him up.
  • Failure Knight: Yuuji has a deep seated conviction that any women that get close to him will surely die. Considering he gets along much better with women than men to begin with and he’s got some real trouble with being able to get close to anyone. When he loses his dog (a female, despite being named John) he vows never to lose someone important to him again.
  • The First Cut Is the Deepest: After living with Asako for some time and being nursed back out of his catatonia, Yuuji awakens once in the night after a terrible nightmare. He walks outside and contemplates simply leaving her cabin and setting off to do who knows what, but decides he’ll give trust one more chance.
  • First Love: Yuuji’s relationship with Asako is closer than Kajitsu would have led most readers to expect. Not exactly family, not just master and student and not quite lovers, but close.
  • Friendless Background: Yuuji did not have a single friend until he was at least ten and only made that one (Sachi) because Kazuki told him to go out and play more.
  • Friendly Sniper: Asako is weird and kind of unsocial but a lot nicer than captain Garrett. Her student, Yuuji, is similarly odd but again fairly social.
  • Friends with Benefits: Yuuji and Asako, more or less, apart from the master/student relationship. In the present, JB seems okay with the idea so long as she’s not at work. Probably wouldn't be a good idea, though: They tried it once after Asako died and it just made them even more miserable.
  • The Gadfly: Yuuji learned the art of being annoying from Asako and has great fun picking on characters like JB or Millie.
  • Generation Xerox: JB laughs and laughs because she’s finally realized that Yuuji grew up to be just like her best friend Asako and that they have the same relationship. Except that JB probably never thought to herself “If he proposes to me I can’t turn him down!” about Asako.
  • Go for the Eye
    • Roused from his catatonia for the first time in a long time, Yuuji promptly rips out someone’s eye.
    • Lacking any better option, he grabs a stick and incapacitates a bear with it by jamming it through its eye, though he doesn’t finish it off.
  • Harmful to Minors: Even before his dad went crazy, he abused Yuuji to the point where even if he ordered him to be Kazuki’s toy, he would do as he was told. Then he gets the lovely time of seeing his father start to rape his mother, killing his father and seeing his mother post suicide.
  • Heroic BSoD: Suffers one when his mother dies. He also suffers one in Makina's after-route when Michiru is sent flying by a dump truck, to the point that he tears up in relief when she ends up being okay.
  • How Dare You Die on Me!: On Asako’s deathbed, Yuuji tells her she’s not allowed to go ahead and die on her own.
  • Ignored Enemy: “Can you wait until I’m done reading the book I just started before killing me? I’d be troubled otherwise.”
  • Ignore the Fanservice: Troubled by Yuuji’s apparent emotionlessness, Asako strips in front of him to try to get something, anything out of him. His response? “You’re going to catch a cold like that.”
  • Improbable Age: JB and Ichigaya are not exactly strangers to the idea of child terrorists or assassins. However, they’re astonished that a kid is using brute force solutions like strangulation or sticking a pen into someone’s brain rather than using a gun or explosives. A kid shouldn’t have that kind of strength.
  • Improvised Weapon
    • After passing through a body check to ensure he has no weapons, Yuuji quickly grabs a ballpoint pen and sticks it into someone’s brain.
    • Later, after losing his gun and knife, he grabs a stick and rams it through the eye of the bear that killed his dog.
  • Instant Expert: Yuuji received very basic gun training as a terrorist, so when Asako asks him to hit a target three hundred meters away he’s nonplussed. The first shot misses, but the second is a direct hit, much to her surprise. With only a little training and before he’s even an adult, Agnes Garrett claims he’s one of the three best snipers she’s ever known, and the other two are dead and going blind respectively.
  • Irony: Yuuji in the first game remarked on his being basically just very good at his job and constantly exposited on how a lot of his feats were a combination of skill and luck. Come the second game and it turns out he was given a Super Serum as a kid that makes him a lot more hardy than a normal human. May also cross over into Retcon territory.
  • Journey to Find Oneself: Yuuji goes on to one of these after his master's death, to figure out where and how to move forward.
  • Let Them Die Happy: When Yuuji finally gets a semblance of composure at Asako’s deathbed, she asks what he was thinking when he went outside that one night in the middle of the night. Since what he was thinking at the time was more or less ‘I can give trust and life one more chance for Asako and Asako alone’ he says he doesn’t remember. No need to burden a dying woman with more regret.
  • Manly Tears: Averted. When Asako is dying, it’s not dignified tears coming out of Yuuji. It’s inelegant, emotional blubbering. He tells her it’s his right to be a mess when she gently teases him over it.
  • More than Mind Control: Yuuji was controlled through conditioning, drugs and playing upon his need to be accepted and praised.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: In the middle of beating his only friend to death he realizes that at the moment she looks just like his mom when she hanged herself. The realization does not improve his situation.
  • No Social Skills: Yuuji, and for once it’s unrelated to massive trauma. He’s just a little emotionally thick sometimes, so it doesn’t occur to him that JB might be a little troubled by the idea that he’s been using her toothbrush after she said he could use anything in the house.
  • Not Himself: Yuuji is incredibly out of character for Chizuru’s first H scene, which is appropriate since it’s clearly just a dream or fantasy of hers.
  • Not So Stoic: Yuuji is generally calm and sarcastic and when he’s upset he’s at least somewhat dignified and gets the job done. Even the death of his sister just made him stoically withdraw and feel somewhat dead inside. When Asako is finally dying as we had known she would for the entire story, Yuuji breaks down sobbing and begging for her to keep living.
  • Only Sane Man: Yuuji seems to be the only one to notice that the bonus H scenes make no sense, such as Chiara somehow having become his little sister or JB being an obnoxious school nurse.
  • Please Wake Up: Kazuki’s disappearance and presumed death are basically denied by Yuuji while he sits and waits for her to return so things can return to being simply awful instead of completely horrible.
  • Pretty Boy: Yuuji has girly good looks. When he was around thirteen or so it helped him pass for a girl to avoid detention. And a certain blonde someone twice his age found him rather hot once he had an untold amount of grime washed off of him.
  • Rage Breaking Point: Yuuji’s father tracks down him and his mother twice. The second time, he starts regressing to his former depression until seeing that his father still has his expensive foreign car and that he’s been living in it. If he’s so foolish and selfish that he never sold it and instead wasted all his time tracking them down to ruin them then really, he should just die already. Before too much longer, he wants to do it himself.
  • Sarcastic Confession: Most of Yuuji’s answers about himself while at the military school. What crime did you commit to get here? Killing my parents. Why are you so familiar with how the system here is going to work? Raised by a soldier.
  • Semper Fi: It is revealed that Yuuji is a fully-trained U.S Marine and was deployed in Afghanistan and Honduras.
  • Technical Pacifist: It’s not entirely voluntary, but Yuuji is basically incapable of killing anyone or anything unless he’s drugged to the gills. If he does, he sickens both mentally and physically and even that is next to impossible for him to do. It’s one of the things JB picks up on when Yuuji is impersonating Asako: Though the work is as stellar as number 9029 is supposed to achieve, it’s all being done non lethally despite orders stating lethal action is perfectly acceptable. When put in a situation where it can’t be avoided, he pukes so much that his vomit contains blood and he’s left in a semiconscious daze.
  • Through the Eyes of Madness: During his nightmares or just when Yuuji is freaking out, the screen statics out, may turn red and a mistuned radio begins wailing.
  • Trauma Conga Line: Your parents hate you. Your sister dies. Your father starts beating and abusing you even more. You move away and live in a shithole apartment until you kill your father and your mother claims responsibility for it in a suicide note. Then Yuuji ever so fortunate to get adopted by an acquaintance of his father... the terrorist we saw at the beginning of the story before the flashbacks began. Also, a pedophile. Goes downhill from there.
  • Tyke Bomb: JB is pretty upset to realize that the assassin she’s tracking is a 'girl' no older than twelve or thirteen.
  • Underestimating Badassery: Yuuji brags that he’s a match for Asako now in sniping. Three rounds later, he’s 0-3 even though she’s more or less blind in one eye.
  • The Unfavorite: When Yuuji turned out to be much more normal than his genius sister, his parents just told him to stay out of her way and basically ignored him. For awhile, he would avoid her because of this, but she liked him more than anyone else and he responded since she was the only person who found him worthwhile.
  • Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Yuuji used to be a quiet kid that almost literally worshipped his sister and was rather sweet, if distant and withdrawn. Couple years later and he’s a brutal assassin. After that he’s somewhat better, but pretty heavily scarred both mentally and physically.
  • Villain Protagonist: Played with during the terrorist school arc. Yuuji is trained to be a ruthless assassin and pursues the goal wholeheartedly due to his desperate need for praise and general mental illness. He can’t bring himself to kill his only friend, though she dies anyway but carries out several assassinations before being tracked down.
  • Willfully Weak: Yuuji has to hold back a lot on his more aggressive physical skills while fighting Amane’s dad. After all, he can’t exactly go tearing out the eyes of his soon to be father in law.
  • Worth Living For: Asako is quite literally the best thing that ever happened to Yuuji. Much to Yuuji’s surprise, when he sees Asako one day he realizes that thanks to her he finally feels he has an actual life to live now.
  • Would Hit a Girl: Much to Millie’s irritation, Yuuji has no problem with hitting women who suddenly pick fights with him. In the face too.
  • Yank the Dog's Chain: When set in single combat to the death against his only friend at the terrorist training grounds, they both end up making it out alive because while Yuuji had a superior performance he couldn’t actually finish the job. However, she’s apparently executed a few weeks later when Yuuji successfully recovers. She even nursed him back to health herself despite surely knowing what was in store for her if she did.

    Kusakabe Asako 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/264px_asako.png
Voiced by: Kei Mizusawa

Operative 9029, a large aggressive woman unmatched in combat and probably the world's greatest living sniper. She's coarse and has an occasionally obnoxious personality, but after Yuuji falls into the hands of Ichigaya she personally takes him in, entering semi-retired status when she does so. She has a deteriorating condition due to the aftereffects of a gunshot wound.


  • Anchored Ship: Though living for Asako and having a seemingly reciprocated love for her note  when he returns one time he offers what is almost a proposal, which surprises her. She gently brushes it aside, however, likely because she knows that she’s dying.
  • Anti-Hero: Asako quietly laughs at the idea that her organization is some group of heroes defending people. As she goes to great lengths to try to explain to a clueless Yuuji, she’s more along the lines of black ops or an assassin.
  • Big Sleep:
    Asako: I’m feeling a little tired. Is it okay if I go to sleep now?
  • Buxom Beauty Standard: Has an impressive bust, which gets the attention of men, including Yuuji.
  • Childhood Friends: Asako and JB met when they were eight. Years later, they’re even working together, much to JB’s irritation. When Asako dies, JB is almost as unable to get over it as Yuuji, prompting an unhealthy relationship between the two.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Given a chance to relax, you’ll see how warped Asako’s values were.
  • Combat Pragmatist: Sure, Yuuji can match Asako in range. Sneakiness? Experience? Battlefield awareness? Obstruction? Not a chance.
  • Cool Big Sis: Asako, in a way, though Yuuji explicitly doesn’t view her as an older sister figure.
  • Definitely Just a Cold: Nah, Asako isn’t slowly weakening and dying. She’s, uh, drinking too much. Yeah, that’s it. However, it’s actually a subversion since Yuuji does know her health is deteriorating. He just doesn't realize that she isn't responding to treatment.
  • Defusing the Tyke-Bomb: When first learning of Yuuji, JB wants to help him and Asako would prefer to just kill him. After observing Yuuji and talking to him, Asako declares that he can still be saved, but now JB wants to dump him into a Japanese mental hospital. So Asako basically adopts him and goes into semi retirement.
  • First Love: Was this to Yuuji. Apparently Asako was well aware of it and turned down Yuuji, because she was dying.
  • Friendly Sniper: Asako is weird and kind of unsocial but a lot nicer than captain Garrett. Her student, Yuuji, is similarly odd but again fairly social.
  • Friends with Benefits: Yuuji and Asako, more or less, apart from the master/student relationship. Asako initiated it because she was slightly worried about Yuuji's stunted sexuality. In the present, JB seems okay with the idea so long as she’s not at work. Probably wouldn't be a good idea, though: They tried it once after Asako died and it just made them even more miserable.
  • The Gadfly: People who like to tease just seem to gravitate towards JB and Asako was no exception.
  • Genius Bruiser: Downplayed, but Asako herself reads a lot of books and insisted Yuuji to pick up that habit. She declared that being knowledgeable was one of the traits that attract women, and was of the belief that knowledge gained from books must be immediately tested to see if it was true. Occasionally, Asako did impart some words of wisdom to Yuuji, even moments before her death.
  • A God Am I: Asako tells Yuuji point blank that he better view her as a god. A harsh, vengeful god at that. He does end up declaring that she’s his master since he can’t think of another way to define their relationship.
  • Handicapped Badass: Just months from death and blind in one eye, Asako is still a better sniper than Yuuji.
  • I Resemble That Remark!: Of course I don’t copy what I read in shounen manga… wait, no, I kinda do.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Asako initially supports assassinating Yuuji, but after he’s captured she’s the one telling JB she needs to follow through and help him as best she can instead of dumping him into a mental hospital and instead volunteers to take care of him.
  • Lethal Chef: After Yuuji has recovered enough to respond regularly to conversation, he still refuses to eat. A confused and worried JB tries to cajole him into eating properly and he simply points to the vile filth Asako has produced, which causes her to yell in horror. She is the worst cook that Yuuji has ever met even in the present.
  • Mandatory Unretirement: Getting put on this list is the closest you can get to actual retirement in Ichigaya. Even when Asako’s health was declining and her eyesight fading it was tough to get on the reserve list and only then because JB was convinced to support her. She was still called in for missions fairly often. Eventually she actually couldn’t fulfill her missions anymore and Yuuji started doing them on his own because not responding to orders would be considered treason.
  • My Girl Back Home: It's not until Yuuji mentions Asako to Millie that she truly realizes that she just doesn't have a chance of winning his heart. He doesn't even call her his girlfriend or anything, but she still knows.
  • No Fair Cheating: Right after Asako tells Yuuji to use anything he can to obtain an advantage if he isn’t strong enough, he calls for his dog and Asako immediately calls him a cheater when John promptly bites her.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: JB is worried when Asako starts being more careful at work instead of cheerfully looking forward to a dog’s death. When the matter finally comes to a head, Asako tells her it’s because her eyesight is failing.
  • Parental Substitute: After Yuuji is picked up by Asako and JB, they become sort of mother figures to him, though he decides Asako is more like his master than his mother and the other one finds him hot.
  • Pass the Popcorn: Right in the middle of JB and Yuuji’s squabbling in bed, the screen cuts to a chibi Asako calmly eating some ramen and listening to everything they’re saying.
  • Posthumous Character: She's already dead when the story begins, but since most of the story is flashback she's the second most important character in the story.
  • Sexy Mentor: Asako, though Yuuji ignored her attractiveness until she jumped him in the bath. Asako develops Yuuji's sexual prowess by regularly having sex with him.
  • Shameless Fanservice Girl: Asako sends JB out to buy dinner and some beer. When she gets back, Asako is walking naked without a care in the world. She once stripped naked in front of Yuuji to get a reaction out of him, but it didn't work. Over the months, she often shared a tub with Yuuji, eventually seducing him.
  • Smarter Than You Look: Proudly claimed by Asako when she says she actually reads a lot. Somehow, Yuuji just can’t take her seriously.
  • Strange Minds Think Alike: Asako used the same chain of logic as Amane back in Kajitsu to guess that JB despite her attitude was still a virgin even in her mid to late 20s. Yuuji took care of that and for Amane’s part she was also right about JB being something of a masochist.
  • Tomboy: Asako as a kid. As a result, she was always kind of irritating to adults because she was always causing trouble.
  • Tough Love: She doesn't make anything easy for Yuuji, but it becomes clear that she does care for him immensely. She even states that as Yuuji has clearly been through terrible, painful experiences, she thinks tough love is the only approach he's going to respond to. She appears correct on this count, and Yuuji comes to view her as the single most important person in his life.
  • Vague Age: Asako and JB are the same age, but what that age actually is is rather unclear. Yuuji’s guess is ‘less than thirty’ back when he was about thirteen. Gee, thanks for narrowing it down for us.
  • We Have to Get the Bullet Out!: Averted, it seems. It is only after Asako’s cremation that a bullet lodged in one of her bones is recovered.
  • What, Exactly, Is His Job?: Confused by Asako’s irregular hours and odd behavior, Yuuji wonders what her job could be. His best guess is professional pachinko player, which she's forced to admit would account for her behavior and attitude pretty well.
  • Your Days Are Numbered: After a shoulder injury that shouldn’t have been a problem caused the development of venous thrombosis, Asako’s condition was such that she could deteriorate rapidly at any time. Not too long after picking up Yuuji, she ‘retired’ from active service due to her already declining health. However, it didn’t grow bad enough to be noticeable for several years.

    JB 
Voiced by: Erika Narumi

Asako's friend. They met when they were both eight and about twenty years later still work together. While Asako is an operative, JB is her superior and an executive in the company. Easily picked on by both Asako and Yuuji.


  • And Now for Someone Completely Different: After the first three arcs, the protagonist chair switches to JB because Yuuji was in no shape to be observant of the world around him. As the story progresses focus generally shifts to Asako and then finally back to Yuuji as his mental state and memory both begin to stabilize.
  • Childhood Friends: Asako and JB met when they were eight. Years later, they’re even working together, much to JB’s irritation. When Asako dies, JB is almost as unable to get over it as Yuuji, prompting an unhealthy relationship between the two.
  • Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: JB did her best to teach Asako common sense, but it was hopeless.
  • Old Maid: Asako teasingly tells JB she better hurry up and ditch her virginity by jumping Yuuji before she becomes an old woman.
  • Only Friend: Asako attached herself to JB and began bossing her around, but she didn’t make any other friends. She mainly just annoyed everyone.
  • Parental Substitute: After Yuuji is picked up by Asako and JB, they become sort of mother figures to him, though he decides Asako is more like his master than his mother and the other one finds him hot.
  • Stunned Silence: When Asako begins talking about her sex life, JB is loud and shrill. When Asako continues talking about her sex life, her face freezes and her speech ceases entirely until Asako finally quits talking and asks why her face is turning purple.
  • Tsundere: JB is fond of complaining about Asako and Yuuji. Asako helpfully points out the obvious to Yuuji right in front of her.
  • Vague Age: Asako and JB are the same age, but what that age actually is is rather unclear. Yuuji’s guess is ‘less than thirty’ back when he was about thirteen. Gee, thanks for narrowing it down for us.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Delivered frequently by JB to Asako but generally laughed off as just being quirky. However, she’s pissed to hear that Yuuji has been going in and doing Asako’s job while she’s too infirm to do it herself. It turns into a very serious argument with JB comparing her actions to those of Heath Oslo, which Asako can't entirely deny.

    Kazami Kazuki 
Voiced by: Akane Tomonaga

Yuuji's older sister and one of only two people who actually cared about him as a child. She was a genius that could do anything with just a little effort, but was declared dead after a bus accident that left only one survivor. After, Yuuji's family quickly disintegrated.


  • The Ace: Kazuki’s genius was already apparent by the age of four. Apart from her intellect, she also made a ‘doodle’ using oil paints with such refined use of color that her father could hardly believe such a small child could do it.
  • Cannot Tell a Joke: Kazuki could not perform a tsukkomi. She sounds too sleepy. Among other problems. Also, completely terrible taste.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: After telling him to make friends, Kazuki is irritated to find out the only one he’s made is a girl, correctly guessing that she probably has a crush on him. She backs off when she sees how seriously he takes her complaints, however.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Kazuki gets irritated when Yuuji’s first friend is a girl, correctly guessing that Yuuji is probably surprisingly popular. She tells him to quit it, but retracts the statement when she sees Yuuji remember his father saying “Fine, if Kazuki likes you then whatever, but you have to be her toy.”
  • The Heart: Kazuki basically controlled and stabilized the Kazami family. When she was gone, violet self-destruction was inevitable.
  • Improbably High I.Q.: Kazuki’s IQ was tested when she was around eight. She got a score of 180 with the implication that it was expected to be even higher in the future. It’s a perfectly possible score and there are some much higher, but it’s also 20 points higher than Stephen Hawking or Einstein.
  • Not Quite the Right Thing: When Kazuki is shocked to see Yuuji eating incredibly stale bread and water for dinner since his mother didn’t bother to make him dinner, she confronted their parents. Their demeanor certainly changed: Now they openly hated him.
  • Posthumous Character: An important early character during the flashback, but is declared dead following a bus crash.

    Yuuji's Parents 
Voiced by: Tomoe Tamiyasu and Gou Fujii

The parents of Kazuki and Yuuji. Their father was a domineering leech and their mother was a weak willed woman who generally ignored Yuuji.


  • Abusive Parents: When Kazuki decorates her room with a picture Yuuji drew, their father finds it disgraceful and tears it up after demanding to know why they hung up something so disgraceful in the first place.
  • Jerkass: Yuuji's father refuses to work for himself and is as cruel to Yuuji as he can get away with without alienating Kazuki. After she's declared dead, he loses everything but refuses to sell his expensive foreign car. Instead, he wastes his time trying to track down Yuuji and his mother even though there's absolutely nothing to gain from doing so.
  • Living Emotional Crutch: When Kazuki was gone, Yuuji’s mother started treating him something like a mother should because it gave her some sort of purpose and way to bear what was going on.
  • Parental Neglect: So long as his parents didn’t think Yuuji was getting in Kazuki’s way, they simply ignored him. Once, they took her out to dinner and left Yuuji alone. When Kazuki walked in she saw him eating extremely stale bread softened by water and was horrified. Unlike his father, Yuuji’s mother didn’t hate him or anything. She was just weak and didn't really seem to care one way or the other.
  • Posthumous Character: They've been dead for years. Their deaths mark the transition point between child abuse and child abuse from terrorists, which is different!
  • Rape as Drama: After losing his sanity, Yuuji's father tracks down Yuuji and his mother and rapes the mother to produce a new prodigy in the family to replace Kazuki.
  • Sanity Slippage: Yuuji’s father’s sanity deteriorates with increasing speed as things go on until he finally dies after breaking Yuuji enough to murder him.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: After the bus crash, Yuuji’s mother copes with the worsening situation by acting like a proper mother. You might think maybe she cared all along, but it’s noted that beforehand she was cold and distant and that after she started it was just something she could do.

    Heath Oslo

The terrorist "friend of the family" that took in Yuuji after his parents died. He's an extremely dangerous criminal who took Yuuji in when he was in a near catatonic state and eventually roused him into a state that was at least alert and responsive, if not exactly healthy. Afterward, he sent him off to a terrorist training camp.


  • Big Bad: Of both this game and the sequel.
  • Depraved Homosexual: Heath Oslo/Kirihara is an obvious gay pedophile. Even before Yuuji’s life as part of Ichigaya began he was already checking Yuuji out as a target. After he adopts him, he treats Yuuji like his own personal dressup doll, though Yuuji never implies he did anything more than that.
  • Doesn't Like Guns: Heath Oslo has a distaste for guns compared to close quarters combat, so Yuuji’s training in firearms was fairly token. Yuuji also has his own problems with them: They say a weapon should feel like an extension of your arm, but Yuuji feels like an extension of the gun. Cold, simple and machinelike.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: After Yuuji impresses him, Heath Oslo has some weird but seemingly genuine affection for Yuuji. He considers him some sort of protégé and genius at the art of assassination and murder. So when he’s praising Yuuji, he really does mean it, judging by his upset attitude when Yuuji fails his first final exam and pride when he gets it right the second time. Not that Yuuji comes out of this ordeal well thanks to his approval: He’s a psychological disaster when proper authorities find him.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Heath Oslo is a charming, friendly murderous pedophile who laughs at the idea that his pet (Yuuji) randomly murdered someone for reminding him of his father and gets upset when he won’t kill his only friend after beating her halfway to death already. Even if he genuinely seems to like Yuuji, he totally destroys him mentally because that’s what he wants in his protégé.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Heath Oslo’s narrow red eyes are a pretty clear hint that he’s evil. Also the way he’s nearly flirting with an elementary school boy, but also the eyes.
  • Villainous Crush: Heath Oslo seemed infatuated with Yuuji as a child, but eventually he's impressed enough with him to act like some sort of evil surrogate dad instead of playing dollies.
  • Wicked Cultured: Oslo is a terrorist and borderline pedophile, but damn if he doesn’t have a nice sense of style and an appreciation for art.

Yuuji's Military Acquaintances

    Agnes Garrett 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/agnes_8.png

Voiced by: Mii Kobayashi

A tough as nails Marine Captain and resident drill instructor at Yuuji's USMC school.


  • Drill Sergeant Nasty: She seems to have some sort of grudge against Yuuji, so he gets an extra helping of the nasty. However, in the end he gets along okay with her okay.
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: She's every bit as strong as you’d expect a Marine captain to be, but it doesn’t show in her physique. She easily overpowers and cows the far more physically imposing Danny.

Bush Dog Platoon

    In General 

After staying with Asako for a few months and getting a mental detox, Yuuji is eventually sent to a USMC school in America to further his training. While there, his group eventually gains a reputation as a bunch of eccentrics with too much talent, much to the irritation of the drill sergeants. Later, this group forms the basis of the Bush Dogs. His best friend among them is the large black teen Danny, his annoying stalker Millie, the Occidental Otaku communications officer Robbie and the commanding officer J, who prefers not to be called Justice since there is no justice on the battlefield. If it hasn't become clear already, they're a standard Ragtag Bunch of Misfits. Yuuji is the official cowardly sniper.


  • Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Apparently, the platoon is exclusively staffed by them. They make Asako look normal. Asako!
  • Elites Are More Glamorous: Nope. Although they are apart of the Marine Special Operations Regiment (think the Marine equivalent of Army Special Forces) and are therefore technically considered in elite unit within an elite unit. There also made up entirely of eccentrics and rejects.
  • No One Gets Left Behind: This there MO on the battlefield. It doesn't matter how overwhelmingly outnumbered they are, they will not and never will leave a man behind.
  • Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Very much so. We have Danny, a reformed street punk, annoying bimbo Millie, otaku creep Robbie, and aloof "cowardly" sniper, Kazami Yuuji. All united beneath J the motormouth. Suffice it to say they're called the "Unwanted Kids Platoon" for a reason.
  • Semper Fi: A Marine platoon attached to the B Company of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, and made up entirely of "rejects".

The platoon's leader and self professed "idiot" who rebelled against his parents, tried to become a dentist, and somehow ended up as a military doctor instead. Go figure.


  • Do Not Call Me "Paul": He despises his own name, Justin, because as far as he's concerned there is no justice on the battlefield.
  • Heroic Self-Deprecation: He appears to have a highly negative opinion of himself, referring to himself as an "idiot who rebelled against his parents".

Voiced By: Azuma Karin

Yuuji's old flame and fellow member of the Bush Dog Platoon.


  • Abhorrent Admirer: While she is by no means "ugly", Yuuji finds her kind of obnoxious whenever she tries to cling to him, so while she might be beautiful, she’s just too annoying to go out with or anything.
  • The Ditz: She knows she’s pretty dense, too, to the point where she has difficulty remembering anyone’s names.
  • Fiery Redhead: Aggressive and hyperactive to the point where her sprite begins having seizures when Yuuji messes with her.
  • The Glomp: Subverted. She runs towards Yuuji with every intention of giving a tackling hug, but he just sticks a fist in front of her where her face is going to be.
  • Heroic Self-Deprecation: Like most of the bush dog platoon members she partakes in self deprecation quite often. Describes herself as an idiot, and constantly puts herself down in terms of intelligence and strength.
  • Honey Trap: She lures a male pilot away with the promise of sleeping with him and when she gets him into the bathroom promptly knocks him out, steals his uniform and replaces him.
  • Hopeless Suitor: The poor girl doesn’t have a chance with Yuuji. The first time we see this realization really sink in is when she sees how he talks about his master, Asako. Doesn't stop her from trying to get Yuujin in the sack though.
  • Hypocritical Humor: Right after telling Yuuji that his name is too hard to remember or pronounce, she gets offended that Yuuji doesn’t know who she is.
  • Love at First Punch: Yuuji’s first real interaction with her involves punching her in the face without warning and then easily besting her at a sniping competition, after which she instantly melts.
  • The Nicknamer: She has trouble pronouncing Yuuji's full name so she resorts to just calling him "Jeannie".
  • The Squadette: She appears to be the only female Marine her platoon.
  • Stalker with a Crush: She once made a bet that Yuuji couldn’t shoot a can at 200 yards with poor lighting and a rifle not rated for sniping. She tried to bet sex, he just told her to do his laundry. Unfortunately, she kept bugging him trying to fulfill what she considered her end of the bet because she was crushing on him pretty hard after that. When even claiming he was gay failed to sway her opinion, he gave up.
  • Unrequited Love Lasts Forever: She is shown to never stop loving Yuuji years later.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: The last we see of her she's flying Yuuji to Heath's base in a Super Copra attack chopper. After that she is never seen or heard from again.
  • Woman Scorned: Averted. She takes Yuuji's rejection in good spirits. Even hoping and praying for his good fortune.

Voiced by: Gou Fujii

A former car thief turned Marine and Yuuji's best friend.


  • Class Clown: During military school, both he and Yuuji are put together in a group because they’re both irreverent, clownish and annoying.
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: Despite his impressive muscular build he's easily overpowered by the much skinnier Captain Garrett. It's also noted at one point that he has a bodybuilder’s physique: Looks impressive, but really not that indicative of actual ability and inefficient.
  • Scary Black Man: Subverted. Despite his imposing frame and criminal background he's one of the nicer squadmates that Yuuji meets into. The two even become close friends.
  • Sleeves Are for Wimps: His Marine combat uniform eschews sleeves, allowing him to show off his muscular arms.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: With Yuuji.

A hulking Marine and fellow Bush Dog platoon squadmate.


  • Gentle Giant: He's a massive farmer’s son who is much younger than he looks and is the kind of person that Yuuji likes. He barters away his cigarettes and sends the entirety of his paycheck home to his mother. He also nearly fails out due to failing many of the tests, even a test of grappling ability: He’s never had to fight before and is too kind to want to hurt anyone despite his huge size.
  • Younger Than They Look: He's a huge new recruit that Yuuji figures could never hope to pass for a teenager.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/robbie_7.png

Voiced by: Kouhei Mitoma

A stereotypical otaku and fellow member of the Bush Dog Platoon.


  • Occidental Otaku: An extremely stereotypical example, as discovered by Millie, Yuuji and Danny right in the middle of playing an imouto based eroge. Notably, he’s speaking in shoddy Japanese and Millie can’t understand a word he’s saying. Actually, the pronunciation and content is so bizarre that Yuuji is having some trouble too.

Mihama

    Sakaki Yumiko 

A wealthy girl who keeps to herself after being isolated, manipulated and betrayed most of her life. Despite her distant attitude, she's rather fond of the other girls and tends to play an advisory role. She's also nicer than she looks, though since how she looks may include wielding a boxcutter, this may be a less than helpful distinction.


  • Aloof Darkhaired Girl: Yumiko’s graduation from being so aloof has sent the other girls into shock, but she’s the most surprised of all to realize she has actual friends she can trust now.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: No matter how much Yumiko has mellowed in her afterstory, the temper and scariness are still buried deep down should you annoy her enough. Like accidentally revealing you taped her having sex with Yuuji.
  • Cosplay: The very first scene in Yumiko's after-story is of her in a bunny-girl suit trying to spice up her and Yuuji's sex-life. Later on, we see her in a maid uniform provided by Sachi when learning how to properly do housework.
  • The Cutie: Much to the shock of the dorm, Yumiko in her epilogue has become ridiculously sweet and affectionate. Cute and direct to the point of making Michiru blush intensely and make Makina ask if Amane has become a lesbian or only bisexual.
  • Even the Girls Want Her: Yumiko’s dere is so powerful that Michiru seems to have started crushing on her a little, which Amane totally understands.
  • The Immodest Orgasm: Yumiko is not as quiet as she thinks she is. Nor is Amane as indirect as Yumiko wishes she was.
  • Jerkass Realization: Yumiko realized at some point that other people have had it much worse than she did, so she’s apparently given up her self pity and angry rejection of everyone around her.
  • Last-Name Basis: Yumiko is generally a little distant in how she addresses people, so Amane is really happy when she slips and accidentally calls her Amane during cooking practice, after which Amane becomes the first person she’s on a first person basis with apart from Yuuji. She keeps the formality with the other girls, though, who don’t think to ask Yumiko about it like Amane did though when she attacks them with her new boxcutter at the end she uses all of their first names.
  • Lethal Chef: One of Yumiko’s early attempts at cooking gave everyone in the dorm food poisoning. Now, under Amane’s tutelage she produces only normal failures and eventually some pretty good sandwiches.
  • Meido: Sachi’s default clothing as always is the maid outfit Makina and Michiru had her wear. Yumiko picks one up as well on Sachi’s prompting.
  • Nice Girl: The main route Yumiko has mellowed considerably, but defrosted Yumiko around the other girls is a sight to behold. She’s so direct and sweet that she makes Michiru and Amane briefly question their sexuality.
  • Prone to Tears: Yumiko doesn’t look it, but teasing her frequently leaves her looking teary eyed. It doesn’t happen much outside her afterstory though.
  • Secret-Keeper: Yumiko gradually reveals that she knows why pretty much everyone else is in Mihama, though she doesn’t give out any more details while doing so than is necessary. Even Yuuji is surprised by how much Yumiko was able to determine about his "profession" in Makina's after-story.
  • Sickeningly Sweethearts: It was once said that a defrosted Yumiko could give someone diabetes. It’s true. That said, on top of growing so ridiculously sweet she’s also grown bold enough to be very difficult to tease, no matter how embarrassing the thing she just said. Publicly, anyway.
  • Super-Deformed: You have not lived until you have seen Sachi’s Imagine Spot of chibi Yumiko riding on a Roomba, happily waving her arms.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: Yumiko is not nearly as distant and hostile as she was during most of Kajitsu.
  • Tsundere: Yumiko starts taking tsundere lessons from Michiru… for some reason. Makina wonders if maybe Yumiko ought to be the one teaching that class. Given that her dere makes Michiru start blushing, maybe they have a point.

    Suou Amane 

The kindest and most domestic member of the dorm as well as seemingly the most well balanced. She likes to take care of people and has what initially seems like an outgoing personality, but in truth she's actually fairly timid. She feels responsible for the death of Yuuji's sister Kazuki because she ran away from the bus crash and left Kazuki behind. Generally the target of slut jokes, which she invites with her "horny big sister" attitude, though in truth she is, again, secretly too timid for that.


  • Babies Ever After: Kajitsu’s route ended with Amane talking with her granddaughter. Her afterstory ends with the birth of her daughter.
  • Casual Kink: While the girls concluded that they are overwhelmingly masochistic in Makina’s route, Amane is the one that concludes she fell in love with Yuuji precisely because he likes to bully girls. She really is genuinely into masochistic fantasies, including a bondage scene.
  • Daddy's Girl: After telling a story about how much she likes cars, Yuuji instead reaches the conclusion that she really loves her dad given that the story ended up being about how he spoiled her.
  • Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?: Thinking back on Kazuki, Amane thinks she was pretty cute and then has to convince herself that she is totally not a lesbian. Not helping this is that throughout the scene she’s been comparing her boyfriend to her since Yuuji and Kazuki aren’t terribly different.
  • Homoerotic Subtext: Just because Amane keeps comparing her boyfriend to Kazuki doesn’t mean she’s a lesbian, no sir. Nor that she keeps thinking about Kazuki and love together.
  • Huge Schoolgirl: Amane has been quite tall since elementary school, which made her unpopular with boys.
  • Insecure Love Interest: Amane is rather timid to the point where she offers to let Yuuji cheat if he wants because she values herself that little. Of course, this is mostly just because she feels responsible for the death of his sister.
  • It's All My Fault: Upon hearing the conclusion of Yuuji’s family, Amane is a crying wreck blaming herself for ‘abandoning’ Kazuki.
  • Lap Pillow: She insists on proving one during her date with Yuuji at the zoo. He actually falls asleep for real.
  • Lovable Sex Maniac: Apart from the previously established ‘horny big sis’ reputation, she also adds ‘huge masochist’ to her character appeal.
  • Stunned Silence: The entire time the girls are discussing whether to become Yuuji’s mistresses his actual girlfriend Amane isn’t making a sound until they eventually get around to asking whether she’d want to have a boy or a girl first, at which point she finally makes a noise: She starts crying.
  • Suspiciously Specific Denial: Amane’s inner monologue stresses that she definitely isn’t a lesbian and that she was in no way attracted to Yuuji because of similarities to Kazuki. Whether you believe her or not is a different matter, especially given that Yumiko’s dere mode also gets her heartbeat up.
  • Talking to the Dead: Amane writers letters to Kazuki sometimes to give her status updates. She’s even mailed a few, which all get returned to her even though her own name isn’t on the letters. How interesting.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: A little bit ago, Yumiko walked in on Yuuji and Amane having sex in the bath. The latter invited Yumiko, apparently under the impression that she’s a porn star rather than a game heroine.

    Matsushima Michiru 

A rather unintelligent girl who feels neglected and depressive, so she fakes being carefree and models her behavior off of tsundere cliches. The butt of jokes and generally fairly useless. She has a split personality, the source and nature of which changed between Kajitsu and Meikyuu.


  • Butt-Monkey: Michiru is the subject of abuse even during scenes that are supposed to be emotional.
  • Derailed Train of Thought: Considering her extremely ditzy perosnality, it's little wonder that sometimes her thoughts arrive at very different destination, that they were going. Especially noticable in her after story, when Yuuji forces her to check the time, or when Yuuji tries to explain to her the importance of cover in a firefight.
  • Expository Hairstyle Change: Played with. The start of her after-story shows her with black hair as opposed to her standard bleached-blonde, implying she ditched the Tsundere schtick; instead, it's just because she wanted a winter-date that day and was convinced black hair was more wintery than blonde.
  • Fake Arm Disarm: Played with in Makina's after-story; she falls victim to this when she pulls off Yuuji's new artificial arm when she moves to shake it, the latter having intended this to happen as a tasteless joke.
  • No One Should Survive That!: In Makina's after-story, Michiru gets hit full-on by a dump-truck fully loaded with gravel, the force of which sends her flying a good twenty feet away and into a garbage bin; she walks it off with only a skinned knee and a nosebleed, suffering no broken bones, concussions or internal trauma of any sort. This is theorized to be due to the garbage pile she'd landed in and the stuffed anteater toy Sachi made for her cushioning both the impact and her landing, though even than it's considered amazing by everyone that she got off no worse than if she'd just tripped on a toy.
  • Rewrite: Michiru's split personality is rewritten between the three games to be a genuine alternate self rather than a girl whose mind ended up in Michiru's body.
  • Slap-Slap-Kiss: Arguably how her romance with Yuuji functions in her after-story, what with how annoyed she gets with Yuuji's obliviousness to romance and how he gets exasperated by her sometimes off-the-wall behavior.
  • Split-Personality Team: Forms this with her other personality, working together to plan a date with Yuuji.
  • Snow Means Love: Played with; the romanticism of this idea leads Michiru to try and have a winter-themed date in the blazing summer. Seems to be played straight in the ending of her after-story, where Michiru gets her summer snowfall to kiss Yuuji in - only to be subverted as it turns out the snow is chaff that Yuuji called in a plane to drop over them, though Michiru inwardly still appreciates the sentiment.
  • Talking to Themself: Happens often with her split-self, talking them in her head or sometimes openly.
  • Tsundere
    • In a skit, Michiru plays Sachiderella’s tsundere mom Tsunderella who punishes her by not letting her eat dinner, but allows her to have as much desert as she wants. She can’t go to the ball this evening, but only because she doesn’t have a dress to wear, so Tsunderella will buy her one for the ball next week instead.
    • Early on, Michiru somehow manages to use her fake tsundere schtick as part of an actual tsundere moment.

    Irisu Makina 

A tiny girl with a bizarre way of speaking. She tends to latch on to people, especially Amane and Yuuji. Despite her own statements otherwise, she's actually fairly intelligent. She's also rude and selfish, though she does mean well. Sometimes.


  • Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Makina makes fun of Michiru endlessly, but when the latter gets upset and begins talking about suicide (Not saying she’s planning on it, mind you) they have a fight that isn’t resolved until Sachi drags Michiru out of her room to apologize. After initial composure, Makina bursts into tears at the thought of Michiru committing suicide even though that wasn’t what she had been talking about. And then begins insulting her nonstop again.
  • Belligerent Sexual Tension: Happens in Makina's after-story when she gets back from boot camp; she and Yuuji have a bit of an argument about her taking on his rather dangerous job, but it gets straightened out as it's because they care about each-other getting hurt. It then goes into something of a kink session complete with spanking - to the point that an anguished Michiru starts banging on the walls demanding they just go to sleep.
  • Boot Camp Episode: A good portion of the route has Makina go off to a military training camp to get certified as Yuuji's support in Ichigaya.
  • Ditzy Genius: When Sachi points out that Sharkman is likely to be a future ally, Makina pauses, acknowledges the exact way in which he’s likely to become an ally (nursed to health after being beaten) and then goes back to cheering for a show marketed towards six years olds.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Even Makina knows she can’t intrude on someone else’s date.
  • Friendly Sniper: Like Yuuji, she takes up sniping as her primary method of engagement - both in the main route and her after-story. Unlike him, she's more open and friendly - albeit very energetic, rambunctious and crass.
  • Parental Issues: She still has issues with her jerkass mother. As evidenced in the start of her route, where the very first thing Makina does upon returning to Japan is take a few potshots at her mom with her sniper rifle, even injuring the latter's hand with the ricochet debris of a broken phone - something that causes her mother to flee the country in terror. Furthermore, Makina makes it quite clear that she's nowhere near done with things.
  • Older Than They Look: A nice shop owner laughs and pushes some vegetables on Makina saying she needs to eat healthy to grow big like Amane and Yuuji. According to him, Makina is so short she looks more like their kid than their fellow student.
  • Threesome Subtext: As shown in her after-story, she has no qualms whatsoever about giving Sachi permission to sleep with Yuuji, granting her approval for "anything up to and including oral". In fact, Yuuji for his part is actually shown to be somewhat exasperated by how little issue Makina seems to have in offering him up to another girl. However, it should be noted that Makina is closer to Sachi than most, seeming to consider her a sister-figure and, combined with her obedient personality, is the only girl she'd trust enough to make said offer to - as evidenced by how she doesn't make the same offer to surrogate-parent Amane or is aggravated when an arcade attendant spends too much time talking to Yuuji in the beginning of the after-route.

    Komine Sachi 

The final Mihama student. She dresses as a maid thanks for Michiru and Makina's offhanded suggestion. Until recently, she would obsessively follow all orders and suggestions given to her. She'll still mostly do so, but after Yuuji's assistance she's grown more independent. Alarmingly competent at everything she does, but possesses no common sense whatsoever and very literal minded.


  • Altar the Speed: Yuuji and Sachi planned to marry when they were done with school, but they seem to push the date up to before either one is out of their teens.
  • Babies Ever After: The last scenes of Sachi's after-route post-credits shows she and Yuuji had a daughter named Saho.
  • Battle Couple: Played with; Yuuji's a black-ops agent with extensive training, Sachi's a jack-of-all-trades with a fast learning rate - together they stop a bomb from going off in their wedding chapel.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Sachi has a pretty mean mouth, no matter how polite she is. Still a very helpful person, but also likes to bully people. Even the elderly aren't exempt in her after-story, giving an old woman a rather forceful "shoulder massage" when the latter comments on Yuuji being attractive. Then there was her kicking Michiru in the shins while the latter was holding a fake bomb that the latter thought was real, seemingly for no other reason than that Michiru was questioning Yuujinote .
  • Bomb Disposal: Sachi starts training for this in her after-story, on the back of wanting to properly identify any and all explosives after her experience with them in her route of the original game. Stopping a real bomb becomes the subplot of their marriage, having to dispose of one before it blows up the wedding hall. She fishes it out of the vents, Yuuji tosses it in a fridge to muffle the blast.
  • Bouquet Toss: One of the final scenes in Sachi's after-story is her wedding bouquet being tossed in the air.
  • Cluster F-Bomb: In Amane's after-story, she makes the mistake of asking for Sachi’s honest opinion regarding Amane’s relationship with Yuuji. Her response is a string of vulgarity.
  • Cool Mask: Played with in her route, which opens up with her in a training session wearing a military-grade gas mask as she defuses a gag bomb in a tent full of insecticide. It Makes Sense in Context.
  • Demolitions Expert: Sachi becomes somewhat of a bomb expert after training under Yuuji.
  • Fangirl: Sachi for sharks, though it's revealed her favorite is the blue shark.
  • The Immodest Orgasm: As it turns out, Sachi is no better at this in her after-story than Yumiko was - to the point that Michiru initially mistakes the sounds for a cat's yowling.
  • Meido: Sachi’s default clothing as always is the maid outfit Makina and Michiru had her wear. Yumiko picks one up as well on Sachi’s prompting. Come her after-story and even her wedding dress is actually just something cobbled together from a maid outfit, though this truthfully is due to the fact her her original one got torn because she had to defuse a bomb.
  • "Shut Up" Kiss: Does this in her after-story with Yuuji, having figured out that getting him distracted with odd comments (i.e, "your sharky taste") leaves him open for her to take advantage of.
  • Teen Pregnancy: Implied to have happend in her after-story's epilogue. Eleven years after their marriage on Sachi's 16th birthday, Yuuji and Sachi are celebrating their daughter's tenth birthday - indicating she was born just a year after the wedding; factoring in 9-10 months for the average pregnancy, this means Yuuji would have impregnated Sachi only a few months after she turned sixteen.
  • Wacky Marriage Proposal: Played with; while not the most crazy of situations out there, Sachi would only accept Yuuji's marriage proposal if he beat her in a shoe-kicking contest - and even when he managed to win, she held exhibition rematches all day long just to prove she could beat him, too.

    Tachibana Chizuru 

The principal of Mihama. Though roughly thirty, she can pass for a middle school student, which frustrates her. Tries to act serious and dignified and succeeds about half the time. Has never been in a relationship and is currently crushing on Yuuji somewhat, though she's generally professional about it.


  • Berserk Button: Chizuru is pissed to be mistaken for a middle school student and explodes at Yuuji and Danny, who completely ignore her protests in favor of laughing at her even more.
  • Blind Without 'Em: Yuuji takes away Chizuru’s glasses as punishment and she’s basically crying, though probably more at the teasing than just because she can’t see without them. She’s cheered up when he says she looks younger without them, but then he just leaves without them and she doesn’t even realize at first.
  • Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: Chizuru’s grateful for being rescued and all, but did you have to cover her in blood? And accidentally drop her in the ocean? And laugh at her struggling in the water since she can’t swim? And poke her head with an oar when she struggled to the pier? In short, no.
  • Dude, She's Like in a Coma: The first Chizuru bonus scene is more or less the masturbation fantasy Sachi correctly guessed back in Makina’s route. She pretends to be asleep and Yuuji is unable to restrain his lust while the totally dignified no really Chizuru grants his request.
  • Nocturnal Emission: After Chizuru falls asleep in her office, she has a wet dream about Yuuji. He’s ridiculously out of character.
  • Older Than They Look: Yuuji is sent in to rescue a female Japanese hostage of unknown age, but assumed to be in middle school. She is, in fact, around thirty as well as being a school principal and a minor VIP.
