Devil Survivor 2/Characters

The cast of  Devil Survivor 2:

The Entire Team

 * Badass Crew: Notable that while the membership is variable depending on your actions, they will wind up kicking way more ass than JP's in the long run.
 * Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: If you play as a silly Hero, the entire team will wind up playing this role for the Hero to a greater or lesser extent, though they'll never remove you as a leader since you get the job done despite being a goofball.
 * Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Unlike the first game protagonists, the explicit goal of the entire team is to do this until none of them are left standing, and at least two members of said team will do this on a one to one basis.
 * Nakama: To keep them together, it's highly advised this be the case by building everyone's Fate levels.
 * You Can't Fight Fate: Ha, ha, ha, no. The majority of the time you get them by averted their ordained deaths.
 * You Can't Fight Fate: Ha, ha, ha, no. The majority of the time you get them by averted their ordained deaths.

The Protagonist (AKA Hiro Kageyama)


An Ordinary High School Student living in Tokyo and studying for his college entrance exams. After signing up for the "death clip" website Nicaea he and his friends are granted access to the power of the Demon Summoning App and are enlisted by the secret government organization JP's in order to use their new powers to summon demons in order to fight back against the otherworldly Septentriones. While he is mute and his reactions are chosen by the player, he is noted to have strong leadership skills.


 * Aside Glance: Appears to give one to the player with a smile upon picking certain dialogue choices.
 * Badass
 * Badass in Charge: Everyone eventually nominates him for this role due to his ability to keep the team together and kick ass. Yamato himself makes it official.
 * Iron Woobie: Thanks to the protagonist's unbelievable calm despite the fact almost everyone else is traumatized, everyone is convinced he's the standard bearer for this. In fact, Daichi can even lampshade this during a dialogue option.
 * Submissive Badass: How Yamato sees him. In fact, this is explicitly why he comes to rely on him, and if the Hero doesn't go along with his plans,
 * Boyfriend Bluff: Can pull this off with Io.
 * Bunny Ears Lawyer: You can make him act like one.
 * Chick Magnet:Makoto develops a crush on him. Otome lampshades this and she herself has implicit trust in him and asks him to take care of her adopted daughter if she dies. Fumi becomes rather enamored of him  Follow through with Hinako's Fate route and she'll suggest that he pole dances, which could hint at some sort of attraction. Airi gets very flustered and apologetic around him, in classic Tsundere style. Io comes to depend heavily on his emotional support and Female Tico is very flirty with him in dialogue. Even Otome's daughter tells him right on his face that he's handsome.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: If you pick the sillier dialogue options.
 * And, this isn't entirely bad or foolish, as some of the goofier responses do keep everyone's spirits up, and considering this is a SMT universe, that's a good thing.
 * Dragon Ascendant: Yamato lampshades that if you side with him, you could wind up doing this, and he even admits that if this were to happen, he would be greatly impressed.
 * Name's the Same : No, hes not related to JAM Project.
 * Nice Guy: An oft lampshaded trope, specifically tied to his Chick Magnet status.
 * Nice Hat: And a rather goofy one, as it makes him look like he has bunny ears.
 * Noodle Incident: Apparently, Daichi pulled a joke on him during Junior High School.
 * The Messiah: Subverted initially, as the game does nothing to play up how awesome he is. However, both Yamato and Ronaldo grow to start relying on him to be the standard bearer for their causes, and even the Anguished One refers to him as "Shining One".
 * Order Versus Chaos: As a result of
 * Promotion to Parent: Otome asks that he take care of her daughter if she should happen to die.
 * Warrior Therapist
 * We Cannot Go on Without You: Usually averted,

Daichi Shijima


A friend of The Protagonist and the one who introduces him to Nicaea. Being on the cusp of graduation, he tends to worry about growing up and the responsibilities that come with it. He is generally cheerful and easygoing, which can lead to him landing himself in trouble. When under pressure, he gets nervous easily.

""Is this his second time today!? How unlucky for him!""
 * Badass
 * Badass Driver:
 * Cowardly Lion: After the Dude in Distress entry, his cowardice comes back to the fore for much of the game.
 * Scarf of Asskicking
 * Book Dumb
 * Butt Monkey: Mentioned in the email containing his second death clip. His luck doesn't improve much over the week and continues to have horrible things happen to him.
 * Butt Monkey: Mentioned in the email containing his second death clip. His luck doesn't improve much over the week and continues to have horrible things happen to him.

"Daichi: "You go on ahead. I'll take care of this!""
 * Takes on Jungo's roll as the Iron Butt Monkey, almost pushing straight into Iron Woobie territory,.
 * Calling Your Attacks: But she scolds him for it because this isn't an anime.
 * Car Fu: He.
 * Curtains Match the Windows
 * Dude in Distress:
 * Heroic Sacrifice: As his friends are fleeing from Dubhe's explosive finish, Daichi, weakening it enough for the party to defeat it for good..
 * I Always Wanted to Say That: Does this while offering to carry a cardboard box (we know, pathetic).

"Daichi: He’ll be waiting on a throne in some castle and say, “Haha, well done making it this far!”"
 * Luminescent Blush: You can tell he's either thinking that awesome stuff will happen to him...or drooling at hot girls (he's looking at you, Makoto).
 * Order Versus Chaos: Neutral aligned.
 * The Peeping Tom: It's a good excuse to do for having to suffer through all the battles with aliens and demons, right?
 * Reluctant Warrior: Especially after his Distressed Dude moment. He always tries to find ways to help without fighting. Unfortunately for him, Violence Is the Only Option most of the time.
 * Running Gag: He gets offered various oddly flavored drinks during the week. The fantastic fusion of natural spring water and takoyaki puree for one. Even 1 mg of Miso is enough!
 * Take a Third Option
 * The Watson: Like Yuzu before him, he has to have things explained to him a few times. However, even after these explanations he still never understands it.
 * Western Zodiac: Leo.
 * Where Are They Now:
 * Wrong Genre Savvy: He thinks that, if you pick his route, is so the last boss. Everyone is plain confused at this statement (and you can act confused).

Io Nitta


Another student at The Protagonist's and Daichi's school whose intelligence and looks have earned her (according to Daichi) the attention of many of her male classmates. Despite her reputation she isn't very assertive and instead tends to go along with what others say.


 * Badass
 * Badass Damsel: She has a lack of assertiveness, but this doesn't mean she can't fight.
 * Action Girl
 * Plucky Girl: Her Fate route revolves around her reluctance to voice her own opinions. Progressing through it will turn her into a more upfront person who isn't afraid to say what she thinks.
 * Boyfriend Bluff: She gets asked out by a punk in Osaka before the Protagonist comes in. Doing this trope is one of the choices to shoo him away, but even so, Io isn't going to mind much.
 * Buxom Is Better: Atlus is STILL fond of these... I mean, this trope.
 * Curtains Match the Windows
 * Heroic BSOD: Admits to having gone through this for most of the game. Given her general personality, most of the characters completely miss this.
 * Magic Knight: Her stat growth favors both Strength and Magic, with emphasis on Magic though they both eventually max out, at the expense of her Vitality and Agility.
 * Order Versus Chaos: Neutrality aligned.
 * Shrinking Violet: She prefers to keep to herself, never voicing her own opinions in fear of causing problems.
 * Stealth Based Mission: Paid homage to in one mission in a way that would
 * Western Zodiac: Taurus.

Yamato Hotsuin


The young leader of the Japan Meteorological Agency - Geomagnetism Research Department, or JP's for short, a secret organization that, in his words, has protected Japan from the supernatural for ages. As a member of the Hotsuin family he has access to the Dragon Stream, a stream of chi that courses throughout Japan. His upbringing has left him with little in the way of empathy or any social skills outside of leadership and administration.

""You are the ones that corrupted him!...That ends here. I will slit your throats and see that he comes to his senses!""
 * A Child Shall Lead Them: He's been running JP's since he was a child, and he's still a teenager when you meet him.
 * Benevolent Boss: Yes, he is a Jerkass. Yes, he treats most of his subordinates like peons, and yes, he considers most of them expendable. Conversely, he does go the extra mile to support the employees he does find valuable, assigns the less competent employees to things they won't fail at as opposed to bitching them out, and according to Fumi, he essentially handed the research department a blank check.
 * Badass
 * Asskicking Equals Authority: Not only does he get to prove exactly why he's the boss of JP's in the Neutral and Law routes, this even gets lampshaded by Daichi and Hinako afterwards.
 * Badass in Charge: For JP's
 * Badass Longcoat
 * Four-Star Badass: The JSDF follow orders from JP's without complaint, so it can be reasonably inferred he has the authority to make the JSDF dance to his tune, hence this trope is in effect. That, and he has his own forces (both mortal and demon) that he commands.
 * Lamarck Was Right: His ability to control the Dragon Stream has been passed down the Hotsuin line for generations.
 * Sealed Badass in a Can: Holds the can opener to several of these.
 * Sociopathic Hero: He's this to JP's. Specifically, he has practically zero compassion, but he is legitimately good at being a leader otherwise.
 * This also gets played for tragedy throughout the game. Daichi keeps expressing incredulity at Yamato's lack of a "normal life", and Yamato himself wonders what it would be like, even wistfully accepting a possible invitation by the Hero to learn more about the subject. Unfortunately,
 * Worthy Opponent: Ronaldo will consider him one, . On the other hand, should he and the Hero be at odds, he would consider him a worthy foe.
 * But for Me It Was Tuesday: The time when Ronaldo finally breaks into an official meeting to accuse Yamato of how things stand, Yamato casually asks who the hell is the guy, despite the fact Ronaldo and his rather terrorist actions have been causing quite a lot of trouble for JP's till that point.
 * Child Prodigy: He was taking college level classes at five. Most kids haven't fully grasped how conservation works at that age.
 * Crazy Prepared: From everyone else's perspective, the sheer amount of fallback plans Yamato pulls out of his ass to fend off his enemies seems like this. However, when the characters in universe stop to consider things for a moment (and Yamato emphasizes), his organization is supposed to kick the ass of anything supernatural that looks at humanity funny, which, given this a SMT universe, is a very reasonable course of action.
 * He also
 * Curtains Match the Windows
 * Cute Little Fangs: Has them in his yelling sprite.
 * First-Name Basis: With the Hero eventually.
 * General Rock: Yamato is well aware that some of his troops don't like him very much, but he still has their loyalty because he himself is not afraid to get his hands dirty, a fact he explicitly affirms at one point.
 * Half Truth: He promised to protect Kama.
 * Hero Antagonist/Villain Protagonist: He makes it clear very early on he wants a Social Darwinist world to replace the current one, but is still more or less a good guy because he's got the resources to keep things from coming totally unglued and is proactively doing so, but he also makes it clear at the same time that he'll eventually cease this and forge his Chaos aligned world, meaning until that point, despite most of the rest of your team not liking his goals/attitude, they are forced to work with him up till then out of mutual benefit.
 * Irony: He's the leader of an officially recognized government organization and operates with the legal sanction of the Japanese government, yet he's a Social Darwinist who wants a world where the strong winnow out the weak, which makes him a follower of Chaos despite his stated intentions to follow JP's charter to ensure the survival of Japan, which is Lawful.
 * Made even more ironic in Ronaldo's or Daichi's route when
 * It's even more ironic when you consider that his ideal world rewards those who live by their own strength and not by their connections, yet the reason Yamoto is the head of JP's is because of his family inheritance.
 * Of course, if he had failed to lived up to family expectations, he would had to kill his way back into JP's due to being disowned. He is probably not above becoming a Self-Made Orphan at all.
 * His Meritocracy and Social Darwinist world
 * Jerkass
 * Kick the Dog: While Yamato initially comes off as an Jerkass but competent leader, the first indication of his ruthlessness you get is when you ask him about Ronaldo's missing partner. Yamato outright brags about "disposing" of him, saying that the fool should have never thought to challenge JP's.  He's still a useful ally.
 * Magic Knight: Has similar stat growths to Io, with a huge emphasis on Strength and Magic. To compensate, he is slower than frozen molasses and has all the vitality of a wet tissue paper.
 * No Social Skills: Has absolutely no sense of compassion because of the way he was brought up.
 * Only Friend: He declares the protagonist as the only one he considers a friend during his route.
 * Order Versus Chaos: Chaos aligned.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: In a bit of a Jerkass way. He values his subordinates if they're truly useful. If they're not as useful as he'd like, he'll tolerate them as he does realize some people are not cut out for what's going on. If they fail, he expected as much and won't punish them so long as they at least continue to do what they won't fail at, which surprises many of his followers who honestly expected to be punished.
 * Social Darwinist: Wants to create a world of merit where the strong oppresses the weak. Reflects on how he treats the majority of JP's members.
 * So Proud of You: The more Genre Savvy your reactions are to what's going on directly correlates to the amount of compliments he'll give you. In fact, giving him all the right responses more or less will make him your best friend.
 * Surrounded by Idiots: If his subordinates aren't as efficient as he'd like, he says this about them.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: After being introduced to it by the protagonist, takoyaki.
 * Western Zodiac: Gemini.
 * Where Are They Now:
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy
 * Yandere (disambiguation): Some of his dialogue to can be interpreted as this.

 * White-Haired Pretty Boy
 * Yandere (disambiguation): Some of his dialogue to can be interpreted as this.


 * Younger Than They Look: He's 17 years old, younger than the Protagonist and his friends, yet certainly doesn't look, let alone act, like one. Strangely enough, Daichi can tell right away that Yamato is younger than them.

Makoto Sako


A member of JP's Tokyo branch. She takes her duties very seriously and initially comes off to the Protagonist and his friends as shady and a little frightening. Once one gets past her professional demeanor she is discovered to have a softer and highly loyal, if still somewhat stern, side.


 * Accidental Pervert: Repeatedly finds herself walking in on the protagonist while he's supposedly naked in the morning. Each time you're given the option to call her a pervert. Even when she finally knocks first.
 * Badass
 * Action Girl
 * Badass Longcoat
 * Lady of War
 * Curtains Match the Windows
 * Good-Looking Privates: Daichi has a few moments where he's clearly attracted to her. She feels a little weirded out.
 * I Coulda Been a Contender: She was a synchronized swimmer until she got hit by a car.
 * Jeanne D'Archetype: Meets many of the common traits. Surprisingly though, given how common the cause of death is in this game, she does not run the risk of being burned to death. Bonus points for her actually unlocking Joan of Arc as a fusable Hero type demon.
 * Magic Knight: Like Io, she focuses on Strength and Magic. Unlike Io, her emphasis is on Strength.
 * Order Versus Chaos: Chaos aligned, albeit mostly because of her loyalty to JP's.
 * Right-Hand Hottie: She's effectively Yamato's second in command and Daichi blatantly believes she fits the attractiveness part of this trope.
 * Team Mom: Somewhat stern version. She's rather pleased if you know how to take care of yourself and her demeanor softens if you act responsibly, but she has low tolerance for reckless behavior.
 * When She Smiles: She does this a few times when she feels you're very dependable and helpful...unless you're Daichi.
 * To Be Lawful or Good: The point of her FATE route is helping decide when to follow orders or when to follow her conscience.
 * Western Zodiac: Scorpio.
 * Where Are They Now:
 * Western Zodiac: Scorpio.

Otome Yanagiya


An expert doctor who works for JP's Osaka branch. She's a very talented doctor ready to do her job in the chaos, and her high spirits keep her always happy.

 * Nightmare Fetishist: Not her, but her daughter Koharu, who apparently thinks Mithra ranks higher on the Cuteness scale than Lakshmi.
 * Order Versus Chaos: Law sympathizer.
 * The Pollyana: Not as good as Joe is, but she's always upbeat until you bring up how stressful it is to look out after her daughter and work while said daughter is alone.

 * Shout-Out: One of her Fate route events is named Trauma Center

Fumi Kanno


JP's technical expert. She has an all-consuming interest in computers,electronics, and experiments, caring little for anything else, giving her a detached and eccentric air. Even her thinking and reasoning processes are coldly neutral and analytic.

"Hinako: Whoa... You... You win... Fumi: Hm...? Oh, these. I don't appreciate the staring."
 * Angst? What Angst?: After being freed from being Brainwashed and Crazy, she wasn't bothered in the least by it, even brushing off everyone's obvious concern for her well being, only later bringing it in annoyance when looking for a picture she lost.
 * Badass
 * Badass Longcoat: Though she wears it as a Coat Cape.
 * Big Breasts, Big Deal

"Fumi: (Smiling) That's redundant. You can't be a scientist unless you're a little bit mad."

 * Cat Smile: Wears one quite often, with a hand beside her mouth as her standard "bemused" gesture.
 * Curtains Match the Windows
 * For Science!: It tempts her to do research even on her enemies. Too bad she doesn't have time to do so.
 * Gag Boobs
 * Girlish Pigtails: If one looks closely they resemble a crab's pincers.
 * Hot Scientist: A scientist at the JP's Nagoya branch who has a few traits of the Mad Scientist though not in an evil way.
 * She's seems totally oblivious to her ability to invoke this trope, or at least the emotional understanding of the implications thereof on Day 5, to absurd results.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's somewhat sympathetic to Yamato's ideals and a moderately Insufferable Genius who's isn't shy about being disparaging to the simple minded (just ask Jungo), but she also shows genuine concern for Jungo's safety when her experiments have Gone Horribly Wrong.
 * Mad Scientist: You can call her this to her face even.
 * Mad Scientist: You can call her this to her face even.
 * Mad Scientist: You can call her this to her face even.


 * Mook Maker: While she's Brainwashed and Crazy, Fumi does this.
 * Order Versus Chaos: Chaos sympathizer.
 * Qipao
 * Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: If it's not Techno Babble, she'll do this.
 * So Proud of You: She's noticeably more personable to the protagonist if he proves to be astute in figuring things out.
 * Techno Babble: She likes to talk very technically about computers that the others can't understand her. But when she uses simpler, shorter definitions, Fumi comments that it's so boring that way.
 * The Nicknamer: Calls Benetnasch "Benny".
 * Terse Talker: In her emails.
 * Western Zodiac: Cancer.

Airi Ban


A first-year Nagoya High School student who joined JP's Nagoya branch to fight demons. She's an extremely Fiery Redhead, but deep down, she cares for others even though they annoy her a lot indirectly. She hides a dream that she let go due to financial issues with her family.

 * Disappeared Dad: She doesn't know much about her father or what happened to him..
 * Fiery Redhead
 * Friendless Background: She's a bit arrogant, but Hinako discovers she doesn't have friends to visit the local Nagoya mall. It might be because she thinks people don't come to her level at the school she's attending. She should definitely join the Protagonist's school.
 * Get A Hold Of Yourself, Girl!:
 * Headbutting Heroes: Has this with Hinako.
 * Huge People, Tiny Airi: Compared to everyone, she feels angry that she's the smallest. She can either try to drink milk, sleep a lot, or hang herself upside-down.
 * Hot-Blooded
 * I Coulda Been a Contender: She was a piano professional before, but she gave up the dream because her current financial status wouldn't let her become a piano player.
 * Incredibly Lame Pun: By accident, but no one points it out. She "bans" Hinako (and the Protagonist) from Nagoya.
 * Megaton Punch: Jungo is one the receiving end of these a few times.
 * Nice Hat: Of the Pretty in Mink variety.
 * Older Than They Look: Not really much, but she gets mistaken for a Junior High School student. It really upsets her, because she just turned into a High School student.
 * Order Versus Chaos: Law sympathizer.
 * Ordinary High School Student
 * The Rival: Hinako is half as sexy as her.
 * Shana Clone: Let's see, Tsundere, Fiery Redhead, short and (relatively) flat, Grade A Zettai Ryouiki...the only way she could be more like the original would be if she had a sword.
 * Token Mini-Moe
 * Tsundere: It's there, but she seems especially flustered when talking to the Protagonist.
 * Western Zodiac: Capricorn.

Jungo Torii


A young chef living in Nagoya. Simple-minded in how he views the world, he is intensely loyal towards those he considers to be his friends. It's strongly advised that you do not hurt one of them or else you'll probably die with a punch. Otherwise, he's always ready to give chawanmushi.


 * Badass: He proves this in his very first scene, where you get to watch him punch out rioters and break their cell phones.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: When not kicking demon ass, he wouldn't hurt a fly. When pissed, he's basically anger incarnate and won't remember what happened when he was curb-stomping enemies.

 * Berserk Button: His cat.
 * The Big Guy: Heck, even one of his unlocks is basically an expy of Daimajin.

 * Iron Butt Monkey: Treated as a lab rat by Fumi and smacked around by Airi. Still the friendliest guy you'll know.
 * Kindhearted Cat Lover
 * Mighty Glacier
 * Never Bring a Knife to A Fist Fight: He doesn't specifically use it, as his punches border Megaton Punch power, but he always brings it. You can see the handle in his in-game character portrait.
 * Nice Hat: Just like Atsuro's, it also invokes Peek-a-Bangs.
 * Order Versus Chaos: Neutrality aligned.
 * Running Gag: He really likes offering anyone his chawanmushi.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Jungo loves making and eating chawanmushi.
 * Western Zodiac: Libra.

Keita Wakui


A high school boxer from the city of Osaka. He prefers to work alone and is rather dismissive of other people. Despite his cold rejection of others he is all-too eager to be a demon tamer, and often runs into situations without thinking.


 * Badass
 * I Just Want to Be Badass: His raison d'etre.
 * Blood Knight: He joined JP's in order to get stronger.
 * Bratty Half-Pint
 * Can't Stand Them Can't Live Without Them: Unlike Airi's, Keita seriously portrays this trope better.
 * Completely Missing the Point: Fumi compares his brain to that of a dinosaur. He says he thinks dinosaurs are awesome.
 * Conversational Troping: Keita will refer to rank and file demons as Mooks, in the direct sense of the trope definition. May even double as a Shout-Out.
 * Curtains Match the Windows
 * Defrosting Ice King: His Fate route is all about him realizing The Power of Friendship
 * Face of a Thug
 * Friendless Background: Because having friend will drag him down, according to him. Getting him out of this is your job.
 * Good Old Fisticuffs: He's a member of his school's boxing team.
 * Lightning Bruiser: His stats are geared towards speed and physical attacks, while also building up his defenses.
 * Order Versus Chaos: Chaos-aligned.
 * Parental Abandonment: It's implied that his parents were killed by yakuza loan sharks. He doesn't mind though, since living alone provided an opportunity to toughen up.
 * The Un-Smile: Dear god, is that smile creepy.
 * Tsundere: Will always show his extreme Type A nature but never a "soft" side.
 * Western Zodiac: Sagittarius.
 * Where Are They Now:

Hinako Kujou


A young woman from Osaka who is studying various types of dancing styles from all over the world. She has a very upfront personality and will always come to the aid of those who are suffering or in danger, regardless of the danger posed to herself.


 * Badass
 * Action Girl
 * Cool Big Sis: Assumes this role not long after joining.
 * Curtains Match the Windows
 * Dance Battler: She actually is a dancer, and she fights demons. Though the player is not likely to give her the Dance attacks, as she is extremely lacking in Magic.
 * Fragile Speedster: Her stats focus on speed and physical attacks to a greater extent than Keita, at the expense of her defenses.
 * Gag Boobs: Those things are huge even by normal Devil Survivor standards.
 * Jumped At the Call
 * Guile Hero: She grew up learning the art of haggling, and you can even compliment her for this.
 * Headbutting Heroes: Has this with Airi.
 * Hidden Depths: She deduces the Septentriones are named after stars and their number based on a handful of facts, revealing a knowledge of astronomy in the process.
 * Hot-Blooded
 * Idiot Hero: She has the reckless tendencies of one, but that's about it.
 * Impossibly Cool Clothes: There is no way that outfit is anything other than custom made, and its a mystery how Hinako doesn't suffer a clothing malfunction.
 * A clothing malfunction is not weird in this spin-off, funnily enough. Why, Hinako may as well be an Expy of Haru just because of this.
 * Meganekko
 * Ms. Fanservice: Very hilariously lampshaded at one point.
 * Order Versus Chaos: Neutrality aligned.
 * The Big Guy: She is noticeably taller than most of the other characters, and this is her combat role in a nutshell.
 * The Idiot From Osaka: More like the Reckless One from Osaka, but otherwise fits.
 * Stripperiffic: Lampshaded a few times. She mentions on Thursday that she's freezing (as the game takes place in late autumn/early winter), and Airi even goes so far as to call her a slut at one point.
 * Shipper on Deck: Towards the end of Io's event chain she and Airi try to get Io and the Protagonist alone together.
 * What the Hell, Hero?: Gives one to an SDF soldier who wouldn't leave his assigned post to help an obviously distressed civilian.
 * She's also the team member most likely to call out Yamato over his more dickish decisions.
 * Western Zodiac: Pisces.
 * Where Are They Now:
 * Western Zodiac: Pisces.

Yuzuru "Joe" Akie


A salaryman that the Protagonist and his friends run into shortly after witnessing Tokyo's devestation. Fond of teasing and corny wordplay, his personality is very laid back and good-natured. However, his cheery facade conceals secrets that he avoids talking about at all costs.


 * Adult Child
 * Badass
 * Beware the Silly Ones: Yes, he's a bit goofy, but he's actually quite good in a fight.
 * Brought Down to Badass: Crossed with Badass in Distress when he loses the ability to summon demons one level when his cellphone battery dies and you have to rescue him. The reasons he's still badass is the fact he still keeps his cool even while watching demons kill people left and right and, if he's attacked, he's still tough enough to take a lot more hits than the average civilian.
 * Big Brother Mentor: Attempts to be, with amusing results.

 * Curtains Match the Windows
 * Do Not Call Me Paul: He really doesn't like his real name, greatly preferring to be called Joe.
 * Jumped At the Call: Averted at first, as he originally had no idea what he was doing, but after you clue him in on Demon Summoning 101 he takes to it like a fish to water.
 * Malaproper: Tends to get words wrong or mispronounce them badly. Sometimes it's just rhyming slang, and one of the early dialog options with him has you point this out to Daichi and Io.

Ronaldo Kuriki


A private detective who fights in the pursuit of justice. He views Yamato and JP's as evil and in the wake of Japan's devestation rallies activists against them in the city of Nagoya. His strong sense of justice often blinds him of what's more important, often driving him to commit immoral acts.

"Ronaldo:"
 * Anti-Villain: See Just Like Robin Hood for what he's like at first. However, he slowly shifts to a more villainous role due to He Who Fights Monsters.
 * Badass
 * Badass Longcoat
 * One-Man Army: It is entirely possible for him to take down Phecda down by himself.
 * But Not Too Foreign: If the name is anything to go by, he's likely part Brazilian/Latino.
 * An artbook mentions that his mother's side of the family lives in Brazil.
 * The Capital of Brazil Is Buenos Aires: Yet he speaks Spanish during one occassion, when it should be Portuguese.
 * Curtains Match the Windows
 * Can't Hold His Liquor: He passes out from the liquor in one piece of chocolate.
 * Enemy Mine: Not long after you first fight him, he's forced to team up with JP's to fight a mutual enemy.
 * Irony: He's the leader of the those who have rebelled against JP's and initiates many acts that could only be called terrorism against them. He also has no qualms hacking JP's servers, stealing their files, and supporting insurrections that keep them weak, divided, and otherwise hamstrung, despite the fact they are to some extent what has kept most of what's left of Japan from coming unglued, which is textbook behavior for a member of the Chaos faction. However, the end result of what he hopes to achieve would make everything he did up to that point beyond criminal in a world governed by Law.
 * A key part of Chaos is favoring emotions over logic. Ronaldo is driven by his compassion for the people, his hatred for JP's, and his desire for revenge. These emotions also drive him to defy the ruling authorities and follow his own feelings over his duties as a detective. It might be logical to just figure out a way to negotiate with Yamato and JP's, but his passion gets in the way and causes much of the friction between the public and JP's. (The other part of that is Yamato's less-than-stellar PR abilities.) With that in mind, it's easy to forget that he's on the side of Law.
 * He Who Fights Monsters: YMMV on whether you think that Yamato is a monster, but Ronaldo's determination to bring down Yamato turns him away from his original ideals of helping the weak.
 * Honor Before Reason: He admits this outright in a conversation with Makoto, saying that her reasons for supporting JP's policies of giving food to the people who can help Japan the most (i.e. JP's) are logically sound, but that doesn't make them right. He then goes on to make a "The Reason You Suck" Speech to her, calling her out on asking the population of Japan to sacrifice themselves for the greater good (meaning "sit there and starve while we fix things") while JP's never has to make the same kind of sacrifice.
 * Hot-Blooded: A rare Law example.
 * Just Like Robin Hood: When you first meet him, he's attacking JP's headquarters at Nagoya and stealing their supplies - but he's only doing it to feed the starving civilians. At first.
 * Knight Templar: His Fate level increases if you show him how to temper these urges so he doesn't let Revenge Before Reason cloud his judgment.
 * Large Ham: He really gets into it during battles.
 * Mighty Glacier: Focuses on Strength and Vitality. By level 99 they'll both be maxed, but he'll be slower than Yamato.
 * No Range Like Point-Blank Range: How he kills
 * Order Versus Chaos: Law aligned.
 * Private Detective
 * Rebel Leader: Against JP's.
 * Revenge Before Reason: Besides hating JP's for not providing resources to the needy, Ronaldo wants to avenge his dead partner . His Fate route deals with this.
 * Private Detective
 * Rebel Leader: Against JP's.

 * Well-Intentioned Extremist: Hoo boy.
 * Western Zodiac: Aries.
 * Where Are They Now:
 * Yamato Must Not Win
