Takashi 6502

A seventeen-year-old boy who is among the first to notice that things at the school have gone very very wrong. While he and Rei promised to marry each other, it's been several years, and with his apparent growing disinterest in her, she is now involved with his best friend, Hisashi. Things only get more complicated between the two as "they" spread, and Hisashi became one of "them", forcing him to Mercy Kill his best friend.

Takashi quickly takes a leadership role with the group, through his decisive nature and desire to protect others.

  • All Men Are Perverts:
    • When he and Shizuka went riding, in chapter 5, he said she needn't hold onto him so tightly. But it was obvious from his expression that he was enjoying it; especially since her breasts were pressed against his back while her hand was on his crotch.
    • He also admitted to enjoying feeling her butt, while he was carrying her, and said it was soft.
    • Saeko also caught him staring at her boobs through her Sexy Soaked Shirt, in chapter 16.
    • In chapter 23, he had an Imagine Spot of Rei and Saeko in nothing but bath towels, when Saya mentioned sex as one of the reasons humans are willing to fight. Which was the only part he cared about.
    • And, in the "Drifters of the Dead" OVA, he hallucinated about Saeko throwing herself at him, then having sex with her.
  • Anti-Hero: Type III with shades of Type V. In the first episode, he was able to kill his best friend in cold blood without any hesitation (naturally, Rei called him out for this). Throughout the series, he's very aloof and willing to do whatever it takes to ensure his group's survival, even if it means cutting losses or abandoning others to die. At times, he'll cross lines even Saeko's not willing to cross.
  • Badass Normal: With nothing but his skill in baseball, he manages to survive & rack up an impressive kill count. More obvious given the fact that most of his other True Companions have at least some sort of combat/martial arts training.
  • Batter Up: A baseball bat is the first weapon he gets his hands on. Later chapters shift his weapon of choice to a riot-suppression shotgun.
  • Biggus Dickus: If the speedo fits.
  • Caught the Heart on His Sleeve: Rei does this to Takashi before a "Shut Up" Kiss of sorts.
  • Chick Magnet: All the girls want him.
  • Childhood Marriage Promise: Pinky Swore with Rei, back when they were kids.
  • Chronic Hero Syndrome: At first. Seems to finally be breaking out of it after the clinic raid goes horribly wrong.
  • Determinator: When rescuing Alice/Arisu, as well as in basically everything else he does.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Takashi may be a pervert, but even he draws the line at Saya and couldn't believe that his friend, Morita, actually wanted to go out with her.
  • Failed Attempt At Drama: When Takashi announces intent to leave for Shintoko Third Elementary, the rest of the gang appropriately react except for Zeke/Zero who responds by peeing on Takashi's leg.
  • Good Is Not Soft: He may be a nice guy most of the time, but that doesn't stop him from doing what needs to be done.
  • The Hero: He is, after all, the main character.
  • Heroes Want Redheads
  • Heroic Self-Deprecation: In episode 11, he can't understand how he contributes to the team, to the point that Rei pretty much has to spell it out for him.
  • Idiot Hero: Good with a baseball bat. Not so good with actually thinking through the consequences of his actions.
  • Jack of All Stats: He is not as efficient of a fighter as Rei or Saeko, nor as accurate a shooter as Kohta, or even as intelligent or worldly as Saya or Shizuka, but Takashi is no slouch in any category. Also counts as a mild subversion because even though he may not be as skilled as the others in their trades, he is indisputably physically stronger than the rest of his teammates.
  • The Kirk: To Saeko's Spock and Rei's McCoy.
  • The Leader: The one area Takashi shines in is decisiveness. Alone, he may doubt his own ideas, but after consulting with his allies, he will know the best possible course of action.
  • Love Triangle: Is one awkward situation from being literally fought over by Saeko and Rei.
  • Missing Mom: Hasn't seen his mother since the outbreak; not that he isn't extremely worried about her.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Invoked when he used a live human as zombie bait as punishment for threatening to rape Rei and kill him. He's the only one who thinks he's crossed the line at that point; in fact, he's still redeemable by the rest of his team's standards. He also notes to himself that he may have killed Hisashi (and not regretted killing him) partly out of jealousy over Rei.
  • Morality Chain: Or rather Sanity Chain, especially to Saeko. He also realizes that most of the team plays this role to one another.
  • Only Sane Man: While everyone is at least moderately sane, Takashi’s main advantage is that he’s fully conscious of his grip on the Sanity Ball and can keep the others in line. He does constantly worry that his grip may end up slipping, and worse, knows very well that any freakout would have a domino effect on the team and get everyone killed.
  • Ordinary High School Student: At least until "they" showed up.
  • The Plan: Does one against the gas station nutjob by throwing his bat onto the ground and shooting him. He and Rei then leave the nutjob to die, having made enough noise to attract the zombies.
  • Quit Your Whining: Says this almost word-for-word in episode 10 to Saya, who picked the worst possible time to complain about her strict upbringing.
Cquote1

Takashi: It's not just you. We all feel the same way. We all feel the same way! Don't you know how lucky you are?! At least your parents are safe! So quit whining!

Cquote2
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red to Saeko's blue.
  • The Resenter: He didn't want to admit it, but he eventually faces the fact that he was jealous over Rei dating Hisashi. She was also aware of it and threw it in his face, during in an emotional outburst shortly after Takashi had to kill him, because Hisahi had become one of "them", though she immediately apologised for it.
  • Sociopathic Hero: To an extent. He acknowledges that a part of him actually likes the lawlessness brought about by the Zombie Apocalypse when he enjoys smashing a cash register at a gas station. Earlier on he notes to himself that he may have crossed the Moral Event Horizon when he killed Hisashi without being too bothered about it. He's able to relate to Saeko's Ax Crazy impulses because of this.
  • Standardized Leader: Played with. Takashi himself worries that he’s got no real outstanding skills compared to the rest of the (useful) members of the team, yet given the flaky cohesion and variable sanity of the group, his ability to keep everyone on a leash is quite invaluable. The kicker is that while he may be the most centred of the group, he’s not completely stable either and he knows it.
  • Stripperiffic: In the OVA, he wears a very-tight fitting pair of speedos that tend to slightly show off his cheeks, along with a pair of boots.
  • Swipe Your Baseball Bat Off
  • Thanks for the Mammary: Intentional or not, Takashi grabs Saeko brutally by the breast in the park, probably to keep her from contemplating Suicide By Zombie again.
  • Took a Level In Badass: Along with the rest of the cast.
  • Unlucky Childhood Friend: Initially to Rei, but The Plot Reaper made sure Hisashi would go no further with her.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Gives one to Saya in episode 10. See Quit Your Whining above.
  • Would Hit a Girl: Slaps Rei in the first chapter/episode, and then Saya in the OVA.

Rei Miyamoto[]

Cquote1

Voiced by: Marina Inoue (Japanese) and Jessica Boone (English)

Cquote2

[]

Rei 1547

Takashi's former Love Interest and classmate, as well as a member of the lance fighting club. Frustrated with his apparent disinterest, Rei started dating his best friend Hisashi, though she still harbored feelings for him. When Hisashi is bitten, Rei faces the question of whether it is right to act on her maintained feelings for Takashi so soon after he was forced to kill his best friend. Headstrong and courageous, Rei is a strong combatant and valuable asset to the group.

  • Action Girl: Takes some time to adapt with the sudden Zombie Apocalypse, but once she learns to cope, she can kill zombies with the best of them.
  • Badass Adorable
  • Badass Bookworm: Is said to be a straight-A student by Takashi, which is why he couldn't understand why she was held back.
  • Berserk Button: The mere sight of Shidou makes her blood boil,
  • Betty and Veronica: The Betty to Saeko's Veronica.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: She's kind to everyone, fights because she has to rather than because she wants to and even says early on that she hopes she'll never get used to having to kill in order to survive (even if it is mindless brain-eating monsters), but threaten Takashi in any way and she will make you regret it. That idiot Tsunoda found that out the hard way.
    • Shidou being around brings a shockingly callous side to her, to the point that she tried to convince Takashi to leave him to be bitten by "them" when they were trying to leave the school.
  • Blade on a Stick: Her first weapon before she upgraded. Nowadays she carries a rifle with a bayonet, but uses the latter more than the former.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: How she chooses to express the mandatory post-apocalyptic mental breakdown. Saeko lampshades this when she remarks how annoying it is compared to her calm maturity.
  • Cry Cute: Seen during the first chapter, while she and Takashi have barricaded themselves on the school roof. She tries to call her father's emergency number, but loses the signal once he was out of range. The worst part being, that he hadn't recognized her voice.
  • Dance Battler: At least once, with what can only be described as a "kendo pirouette" in episode 5.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Fell victim to this the year before, as she reveals in episode 11.
  • Distress Ball: It only happens to her on three separate occasions, which were all short-lived and meant to show that, while capable, she's not infallible.
  • Foil: To Saeko. The two contrast in almost every respect apart from their kindness and love for the same guy.
  • Hair Decorations: Wears a ribbon.
  • Heartbroken Badass: After Hisashi's death, though the void he left is quickly filled by Takashi.
  • It Never Gets Any Easier: Invoked. Rei states in chapter 25 that she hopes she will never get used to having to kill in order to survive.
  • The Lancer: Literally - her Weapon of Choice is the Blade on a Stick, whether in the form of a sports javelin or a rifle with a bayonet.
  • Les Yay: Kisses Saeko thinking she was Takashi while under the influence of The Funky Smoke.
    • Could be considered something of a Foe Yay moment
  • The McCoy: To Takashi's Kirk and Saeko's Spock.
  • Nice Girl: Easily the kindest member of the group until Alice joins, and even then she's a pretty fierce contender.
  • No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Her sparing Shidou comes back to bite the team big time, twice. First when the EMP goes off, he loses control of the bus, breaking a barricade and letting "them" storm Saya's family estate, and then Shidou goes to Rei's neighborhood, and with his cult manages to convince the neighbors to lock Rei's mother out while she was foraging for supplies.
  • Only Sane Woman: In a different way than Takashi- she's the only main character who isn't a hardened killer.
  • Plucky Girl: She has her moments of insecurity, but tries not to dwell on them for long.
  • School Uniforms Are the New Black: Maintains most of the aspects of her school uniform.
  • Secret Test of Character: Souichirou gives her permission to personally execute Shidou in front of everyone at the mansion; however, she decides he's Not Worth Killing, leading Mr. Takagi to laugh and bellow, "Well put!"
  • "Shut Up" Kiss: Takashi gives her one to get her to get over Hisashi's death.
  • Sins of Our Fathers: Her father just happened to investigate the wrong man for corruption (one that was desperate to keep his post amidst the investigation). Unfortunately, the man was powerful, and his son happened to teach at Rei's school. Oops.
  • Small Girl, Big Gun: Rei isn't much shorter than any of the other survivors, but everyone looks small next to a Springfield M1A1 rifle.
  • Tights With a Skirt: Looks like she's wearing this in one shot in episode 3, probably due to a minor and hard-to-spot continuity snarl.
  • Token Good Teammate: The only member of the core group who isn't an Anti-Hero by any means.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Being the Token Good Teammate, this is inevitable:
    • She calls out Takashi for killing Hisashi in cold blood, saying she didn't ask him to save her and accuses him of doing it out of resentment, though she apologies immediately.
    • She also calls him out for letting his lingering resentment get the better of him by assuming she was comparing him to Hisashi, simply because she said he sucked for not having any spare change on him.
    • She also gives him an earful, while she was being treated at the Takagi Estate, for using her breasts to repeatedly absorb the recoil from firing a sniper rifle, which hurt like hell and worsened her back injury.
  • Zettai Ryouiki: She starts the series as a Class A, since she wears dark leggings that stop just short of mid-thigh.

Saeko Busujima[]

Cquote1

Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro (Japanese) and Taylor Hannah (English)

Cquote2

[]

Saeko 844

Calm and collected, Saeko is a high school senior and president of the Kendo Club. She is one of the few survivors of the initial outbreak, and after meeting up with Takashi and the others, she lends her considerable skills with the sword to the team. Reliable in the extreme, she takes great pride in her abilities and in the abilities of her comrades.

  • Action Girl: Her skills as the former captain of the Kendo Club and her insatiable bloodlust makes her one of the most lethally efficient members of Takashi's group. A fact he acknowledged himself, by encouraging her to embrace that part of herself, to better ensure his own chances of survival.
  • Action Skirt Rip: To both herself and Shizuka-sensei.
  • Aloof Dark-Haired Girl
  • Anti-Hero: Seems like Type III (while she'll gladly euthanize zombie victims out of a sense of honour, she is pretty curt toward Shizuka on more than a few occasions), but she can curve into a Type IV in combat.
  • Attempted Rape: In her backstory.
  • Ax Crazy: Admits this to Takashi, though to her credit she feels enough guilt to be briefly become a Death Seeker for it.
  • Badass Longcoat: Wears one in chapter 29. Her being the Hot Chick with a Sword Makes it even more delightful.
  • Betty and Veronica: The Veronica to Rei's Betty.
  • Big Breasts, Big Deal: In episode 9 of the anime she gets a Type 1 moment.
  • The Big Girl: Saeko is smarter then most however.
  • Black Bra and Panties: Inexplicably, the bra is invisible until her white shirt gets wet. The panties, not so much.
  • Blood Knight: It used to burden her with self-loathing, but Takashi snapped her out of it. From then on, she revels in almost orgasmic pleasure from cutting down zombies, as it allows her to indulge in her violent impulses without restraint. Which makes her the polar opposite of Rei.
  • Born in the Wrong Century: A warrior of her caliber is an anachroism in the technologically-advanced 21st century; more fitting for the battlefields of the Tokugawa Era.
  • Braids of Action: Sports this hairstyle in the OVA.
  • Clint Squint
  • Cool Big Sis: Was this role to the party of heroes until Shizuka grew up and took her rightful responsibility as an adult.
  • Cute and Psycho: Chapter 17 of the manga and its anime counterpart's episode 9 revealed she has some such characteristics, especially in her flashback scene.
  • Gainaxing: In the anime, her breasts dodge bullets.
  • Genius Bruiser: See The Big Guy.
  • Hadaka Apron: Worn in episode 6-8.
  • Heir to the Dojo: Her father's dojo, to be precise.
  • Heroic BSOD: Briefly contemplated letting "them" take her while thinking that she is no better than they are, but is instead inspired to accept her bloodlust by Takashi, to live on and seek redemption.
  • Hime Cut: Although her bangs are longer than the standard.
  • Hot Chick in a Badass Suit: Yes, there's artwork of her drawn in this manner. And yes, she does look hot with her dress shirt completely open.
  • Hot Chick with a Sword
  • Implausible Fencing Powers: Naturally, given the series.
  • Interplay of Sex and Violence
  • Japanese Delinquents: Subverted, since she isn't actually part of a gang. Rather, she's the captain of her school's Kendo Club. It's her character design and general attitude which creates the impression - from being tall and darkhaired, the skirt of her school uniform being longer than the other girls, and the bokken she carries at her side (which is eventually replaced with a real katana).
  • Katanas Are Just Better: The sword that Don Takagi gives her is an example despite Hirano's annoyed explanation that an average katana would be rendered useless after beheading, at most, four of "them". Saeko has been going strong with her sword for more than ten chapters now, and doesn't seem to be slowing down. Also, swords may be more practical than guns since "they" only hear and our heroes have to travel through hordes of "them".
    • Funnily enough, it's the resident Gun Nut that talks her into keeping and using the sword, and he specifically points out that it's of superior craftsmanship to most modern or mass-produced-infantry-quality swords, and in the right hands (which it definitely is) can maintain its killing potential with very little maintenance. Eventually Saeko does ask to be shown how to use a gun along with her sword.
  • Lady of War: At one point she throws her umbrella up, cuts a zombie and catches it again before it hits the ground. She didn't even get wet (at least not from the rain)!
  • Les Yay: Kisses Rei thinking she was Takashi while under the influence of the Funky Smoke
  • Meaningful Name: Overlaps with Bilingual Bonus, though it's likely unintentional. See the tropes above. Now how do you pronounce her first name?
  • Moral Event Horizon: Invoked in a flashback when she deliberately allowed someone to try to rape her, only to break his thigh and femur with her bokken once he got close enough. She admitted how much she enjoyed this act of sadism. Like Takashi, she's the only one who believes she crossed the line then and there, and others still consider her redeemable.
  • Nice Girl: The only thing she has in common with Rei.
  • Orgasmic Combat: Saeko literally gets off on inflicting pain and having it inflicted on her:
    • In the ninth episode, she gets turned on by Takashi almost crushing her breast, during his rousing speech. Her back not only arches in ecstasy, she moans deeply and blushes (linked in the Immodest Orgasm entry).
    • While still present in the manga, it's more subdued. Her back doesn't arch and she doesn't moan. Instead, she simply blushes and tells Takashi "she consents" to his terms. Though she still becomes sexually aroused from cutting a swath through the attacking horde.
  • Outside Ride: Saeko can often be found standing atop the roofs of moving escape vehicles.
  • Rapunzel Hair: Her hair falls past her waist.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue to Takashi's red.
  • Sex Is Violence: Chopping "them" up with her katana gets her a little too excited.
  • She's Got Legs
  • "Shut Up" Kiss: In the anime, Takashi gave one to Saeko to calm her down after she confesses to her sadistic tendencies.
  • Silk Hiding Steel: Her demure elegance and cool competence masks a bloodthirsty streak she fears could overcome her. She practices kendo to both exercise it and discipline it. And boy, does she unleash it once the zombies start to take over.
  • Slasher Smile: When she awakens her Cute and Psycho side.
  • Sociopathic Hero: Only to a certain degree. But keep in mind that under Saeko's calm Heir to the Dojo exterior is a Blood Knight who only recently publicly acknowledged her enjoyment of becoming stronger and deadlier. She was arrested as a young girl for being "overly enthusiastic" in her self-defense against a would-be molester. Though she had her regrets at one point.
  • The Spock: To Takashi's Kirk and Rei's McCoy.
  • Statuesque Stunner: She is exceptionally tall by the standards of her age, gender and nationality. Officially her height is 174cm or 5'8½".
  • Unscrupulous Hero: She shows herself as this quite a bit in combat given her Blood Knight tendencies, particularly after a dark incident from her past is revealed.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Shizuka yells at her early on when she rips her Prada skirt after she trips while fleeing "them".
Cquote1

Saeko: Brand name clothing or your life? Which do you value?
Shizuka: ...BOTH!

Saya Takagi[]

Cquote2

[]

Saya 9693

The smartest student of Fujimi Private Academy, Saya isn't afraid to speak her mind and say exactly what she thinks of others. She is also the daughter of a ultra-nationalist politician. Her deductive nature has allowed her to realize several facts about how they work and her intelligence has saved the group many times.

Cquote1

Saya: That's so stupid.
Takashi: What do you want?
Saya: Every time you have to face something you don't like, you always come to this stupid staircase. It's like your own little pity corner. Look at you! Good God! The first semester has just started. How are you ever going to make it through the year?
Takashi: I could say the same thing to you. The fifth period isn't even over yet.
Saya: It's okay because I'm genius. Unlike you, who got into this school out of dumb luck.
Takashi: Takagi, why do you always diss me like that?
Saya: Because I don't like stupid people.
Takashi: What?
Saya: I mean, you're pretty stupid, but at least you know you are, so if I tell you that you're stupid, maybe by some miracle you'll be less stupid, stupid. [Takashi sighs again] Grow up. Moping because your little friend dumped you? Stupid.

Kohta Hirano[]

Kohta 1502

Sixteen-year-old Kohta was a school loser and bully magnet. "Their" appearance changed everything — his secret obsession with firearms prepared him well for his big break as the gang's resident marksman. Because of this, he winds up teaching the others how to use guns.

Shizuka Marikawa[]

Cquote1

Voiced by: Yukari Fukui (Japanese) and Monica Rial (English)

Cquote2

[]

Shizuka 2007

A 27-year-old spinster who served as Fujimi High's School Nurse. While ditzy, Shizuka is naturally very calm, and little fazes her. She is often the group's driver and, being good at her profession, she tends the other character's wounds.

  • Action Dress Rip: It was Prada! Later done of her own volition.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: When some of the students on the bus bitch about Shizuka's driving and Takashi's group plan to escape by heading into the city, she hits the brake and practically tells them all to shut the fuck up. Cue students shutting the fuck up.
  • Badass Driver: Don't let her ditzy demeanor fool you - she's one mean badass behind the wheel.
  • Bright Slap: Looks all set to deliver a bike-powered one to Kohta during his BSOD, but instead she gives him a pep talk. It works out the same way.
  • Car Fu: Despite not having handled any weapons per se, Marikawa-sensei has the highest body count of all the survivors due to her, ahem, forceful driving.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Shizuka could at least pretend to realize there's a Zombie Apocalypse outside.
  • The Chick: Has not handled any sort of weapon thus far. However, her driving gives her a very high kill count.

 Shizuka: "I'm not supposed to be this kind of character!"

[]

Alice Maresato 5333

Seven-year-old Alice/Arisu was rescued from "them" by Takashi after a group of hideaways killed her father and closed the door on her. Being an innocent ray of sunshine amidst the bleakness of their situation, the group quickly took a liking to her and has since adopted her as a little sister figure.


Supporting Characters[]

Koichi Shidou[]

Cquote1

Voiced by: Kissho Taniyama (Japanese) and Illich Guardiola (English)

Cquote2

Class 3-A's teacher. Rei had a beef on him since he flunked her out because of their fathers' radically differing political beliefs. He doesn't care much for the lives of others, and even at the midst of the zombie apocalypse, is apparently planning to build a cult centered on himself.

Rika Minami[]

Voiced by: Junko Takeuchi (JP), Melissa Davis (EN)[]

A special ops police officer who happened to be Shizuka's roommate. Cold sniper at heart, or not so cold. She had been held up in the airport along with other special forces, clearing zombies so that the airport can be used by survivors to escape.

Hisashi Igo[]

Voiced by: Mamoru Miyano (JP), David Matranga (EN)[]

Hisashi Igo 3814

Rei's new boyfriend and Takashi's best friend. He's shown to be calm and cool-headed, and was even willing to believe Takashi when told about a murder in front of the school, even arming them with makeshift weapons. By these characteristics, one could be forgiven for thinking he would be the protagonist.

Unfortunately, despite boasting hand-to-hand combat abilities, he was bitten by a zombie teacher and asked Takashi to mercy kill him. However, Takashi hesitated and Hisashi became a zombie before finally being killed. Rei was haunted by his death and as a result distrusted Takashi for a while.


Asami Nakaoka[]

Asami Nakaoka 1124

A female police officer that Takashi's group had met in the mall. She has a kind heart and a rather timid personality, often referring to herself as "this officer". As an inexperienced rookie officer, she tends to overcompensate when helping civilians.

When her superior officer left the mall to go for help, she was left in charge of overseeing the other mall survivors. Keeping the survivors in check proved to be a difficult task until Hirano and the others came to her aid. She and Hirano quickly develop feelings for each other, creating an uncomfortable love triangle between them and Saya.


Soichirou and Yuriko Takagi[]

Voiced by: Joji Nakata (Soichirou) and Yoshiko Sakakibara (Yuriko) (JP), Andrew Love (Soichirou) and Shelley Calene-Black (Yuriko) (EN)[]

Soichirou and Yuriko Takagi 3513

Parents of Saya Takagi. Soichirou is a Japanese ultranationalist who married Yuriko, a woman who had connections with the New York Stock Exchange and therefore their family fortunes increased.

After the initial stages of the outbreak their mansion was converted to a stronghold and refuge for survivors within the area. They take a liking to Takashi, Saya's childhood friend. Soichirou also expresses interest in Saeko, daughter of the Busujima family, and presented his sword to her.


Miku Yuuki[]

One of the Fujimi High School Students who had escaped and joined Shidou's group. She helped Shidou enter the Takagi compound using her sex appeal.

  • Distracted by the Sexy: Shidou and his group are able to enter the Takagi compound by using Yuuki's ample bust size to distract the guards.
  • Really Gets Around: There was apparently some, "interesting rumors" about her at school...

Zeke/Zero[]

Alice/Arisu's pet dog. He and Alice/Arisu were almost killed but for Takashi's intervention. He accompanies the gang as Alice/Arisu companion and can differentiate who are the living and who are the undead.


Misuzu Ichijou[]

Toshimi's BFF, who turns on her when the zombies attack them.

Toshimi Niki[]

Misuzu's BFF, who loses her life when she's grabbed by a zombie mob on the stairs and dragged to her fate.

Takuzo[]

A leader of his own survival party who briefly joins Takashi's group. His own group scatters after he dies, except for his girlfriend Naomi, who chooses to die with him.
