The Nahobino Takes On a New Form!
Protagonist/Nahobino
A third-year high school student from the city. He fuses with Aogami and transforms into a Nahobino—a being with supernatural powers that can fend off demons. Instead of his usual blue visage, he takes on an intimidating new form, brandishing a slick, sickle-like weapon. You’ll need to wait and see what incites this transformation!’
Characters:
Hayao Koshimizu (voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda)
“I would like you to assist with the investigation and cessation of the current threat.”
Japan’s prime minister and Bethel’s main representative of the Japanese branch. Calm, collected, and strategic, he offers the demon summoning program to Ichiro and friends, asking them to assist Bethel.
Abdiel (voiced by Romi Park)
“As decreed by our lord. The Nahobino cannot be permitted to exist.”
The archangel in command of Bethel’s main branch. Stern and uncompromising, she uses her overwhelming power to eradicate anyone who threatens the aims of Bethel. She’s fervently devoted to God and is committed to defending his order at all costs.
Shohei Yakumo (voiced by Tomokazu Sugita)
“Humans need the will to survive at any cost. And those who lack that strength of will…no longer deserve to live.”
A mysterious man who stands in the way of the protagonist as he advances through Da’at. He calls himself an exterminator of demons, though his motives and true allegiance remain unknown. His only partner is Nuwa, a demon herself.
Nuwa (voiced by Ayana Taketatsu)
“Whether I am there or not when Yakumo’s world comes to be is of no concern to me.”
A goddess that appears in Chinese mythology. She’s worked alongside Yakumo since he was young to fulfill a certain goal. She confronts the protagonist without warning or mercy.
Mastema (voiced by Wataru Takagi)
“I am an angel in service to the kingdom of light.”
An archangel who belongs to Bethel’s main branch. He is said to be permitted by God to tempt humans and test their faith. He has arrived in Tokyo to pursue the Qadištu, who wreaked havoc on the territory he had jurisdiction over, and it seems like he’s tied to the mysterious phenomenon happening in Tokyo.
