Ringo (CV: Tomoyo Kurosawa)
I brought you back here.
…to stop the world‘s demise.One of the agents of the next-generation electronic life form Aion.
Just born, with a strong curiosity about human society, culture and the feelings between human beings.
Stand on the front lines with demon summoners and run around to stop the world from ruining its destiny.

Seiyu (Fig) (CV: Nanako Mori)
I need a commander who can see the whole thing.
I hope I can support everyone from now on.Like Ringo, he is one of Aion’s secret agents. Indifferent but thoughtful, she is like a sister to Ringo, who has a rhythm of acting alone.
Feige also has an interest and longing for the human world, and is very friendly to human beings. Good at intelligence analysis, often in the rear as support.

Arrow (CV : Ishikawa Kairen)
Stop fighting like this!
This is wrong! Wake up!A spy of the Devil Summoner organization “Yagatawu”. It was Aion who detected one of the “protected objects that need attention to prevent the destruction of the world“.
Killed during an undercover investigation, resurrected with Ringo’s soul-hacking abilities.
Although he is usually a taciturn young man, he hides a straightforward and fiery side and attaches great importance to morality. Because this often conflicts with Miretti.

Rice bud (Milady) (CV: Ami Koshimizu)
When I think of that man still alive and alive, I feel…
I can’t stand it anymore.A spy of the demon summoner organization “Phantom Society”. He was killed by his comrade for some reason.
He was revived by Ringo’s power, and now he is traveling with Ringo and the others to investigate the reason for his murder.
She has a calm and rational character, attaches importance to rationality and efficiency, and sometimes makes cold judgments because of this, but this also seems to be related to her past experience.

Saizo (CV: Masaya Matsukaze)
Seriously, everyone in Demon Summoner is very difficult to get along with.
Really troublesome.A free demon summoner who does not belong to any party. He was also killed by the agents of the Phantom Association, and was resurrected by Ringo’s power.
Because of a certain purpose, I decided to act with Ringo and others.
He has a romantic and charming personality, and because he is good at detecting the atmosphere of the scene, he often mediates disputes between Arrow and Miretti, and is like a lubricant in the team.

Familiarize yourself with the “keywords” of the story in advance!
“Soul Hacker 2” is like many movies, comics and gamesThere are many “keywords” unique to works。
“Keywords” are very important in the story. If you don’t understand it clearly, it will be difficult to focus on understanding the story.
In addition to its own settings, this work has also added a lot of new keywords. In order to help everyone enter the world of stories smoothly,Let’s revisit the keywords!
Devil Summoner
“Demon Summoner” can be said to be the backbone of the entire story of the series.
By exchanging contracts with demons, use the amazing power of demons to solve problems such as things beyond the reach of human intelligence。
On the other hand, some summoners will also use their power to carry out various evil acts such as assassination or crime.
In addition, there are also different organizations among the Demon Summoners, and this time theYatagaraandPhantom SocietyThese two organizations are opposed to Ringo and his party.
COMP
Held by demon summoners,Portable terminal tool that can assist the demon summoning ability。
COMPshape varies from person to personwhich can be transformed into different props and decorations depending on the user.
“Lingo” and his party’s COMPA special tool transformed by Aion’s technologyso it can be directly equipped with demons on the COMP.
Aion 特務 (Aion Agent)
Aion, who discovered that the world was about to perish, dispatched a team that could easily intervene in the human world.Humanoid Agent。
The agents who appear in this work are “Ringo” and “Figg”.
They have a will of their own, which is biologically equivalent to human existence.Ability to use Aion with limited access。
Soul Hack
One of the abilities held by Aion isAbility to interfere and improve the human soul and mind。
“Ringo” can use Soul Hack on a human who has just died, interfering with the memory of the other party’s death. By eliciting the opponent’s regret for death, the target has a strong desire to survive to achieve the effect of resurrection.
The “Arrow”, “Miretti” and “Saizo” introduced in the previous character introductions are all resurrected by soul invasion.
Thatthere are many mysterieseven “Ringo” and “Figg” don’t fully understand the rationale behind it… They are very important keywords in the story.
demon
Its status in ATLUS works needs no explanation.
has been since ancient timesGhosts coexisting with humans。
Although called “demon”, not all demons are evil,Sometimes even gods and fairies are collectively referred to as demons。
Demon Summoners use COMP to use their powers by contracting with these demons.
Of course, you can also combine with the devil in this work.
「Jack Cream“And other well-known demons will also appear in this work. I believe everyone is looking forward to how other demons will perform in this work.
Sabbat

When fighting a demon, if you want to attack the enemy’s demon’s weakness, you can call out your demon, and they will attack the enemy demon in accordance with Ringo’s orders. This technique is called “”Sabbat」。

capitals and borders
