<\/p>\n

The Reapers\u2019 Game<\/strong><\/p>\n

– The Reapers\u2019 Game unfolds in the UG (Underground), a different dimension which bears a striking resemblance to the real world
\n– The Players of the Game form teams and aim to complete missions set out by the Game Master, Shiba
\n– The nature of these missions ranges from solving puzzles to defeating enemies known as Noise, and teams may even find themselves fighting their peers for control of the \u2018Buya in citywide turf wars
\n– The Game lasts for seven days
\n– It is said that the team who racks up the most points over the course of the week will have their wish granted
\n– The unlucky team who ends up in last is forced to face erasure
\n– In the Reapers\u2019 Game, it\u2019s all for one and one for all<\/p>\n

Turf Wars: Scramble Slams<\/strong><\/p>\n

– One kind of mission assigned in the Reapers\u2019 Game is the Scramble Slam, a citywide turf war that has teams vying for control of various areas around town
\n– Erase all the orange Turf Noise or take down the rival team members in an area to claim that location as your own
\n– In Scramble Slams, the fun lies in not only gaining control of an area, but also in defeating swarms of enemies to earn even more Scramble Points and exchange them for even better rewards
\n– Chain together battles with regular Noise to max out your point-earning potential<\/p>\n

Ruinbringers<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Known as the \u201cstrongest team,\u201d everything else about them is shrouded in mystery: The Ruinbringers<\/p>\n

Susukichi (voiced by Max Udell in English, Natsuki Hanae in Japanese)<\/strong><\/p>\n

– A Player in the Reapers\u2019 Game, and a member of the Ruinbringers
\n– While his impressive physique gives off an intimidating air, Susukichi is actually a bit of a chatterbox, rambling in his surprisingly high voice
\n– Like the discs in beloved Reversi, he views the world in black and white<\/p>\n

Tsugumi (voiced by Ciara Riley Wilson in English, Yuka Ozaki in Japanese)<\/strong><\/p>\n

– A Player in the Reapers\u2019 Game
\n– Although she is a member of the Ruinbringers, she barely interacts with others and does not talk to anyone
\n– Contrary to her waify appearance, she possesses powerful psychic abilities and a perfect record against other Players
\n– The stuffed animal she carries resembles the mascot of Gatto Nero, a new brand that\u2019s all the rage in Shibuya
\n– Her plush pal apparently predates the establishment of said brand<\/p>\n

Deep Rivers Society<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fuya (voiced by Adam Gold in English, Yoshiki Nakajima in Japanese)<\/strong><\/p>\n

– A Player in the Reapers\u2019 Game who got sucked into the action while taking a stroll in search of Shibuya\u2019s most exquisite culverts
\n– Despite being the de facto leader of the Deep Rivers Society, he is quite cowardly and not one to normally take charge
\n– His aversion to conflict is the reason he\u2019s managed to avoid dropping out of the game so far, so his \u201cflight-over-fight\u201d approach has served him surprisingly well
\n– He holds a store-bought map of the city in which he\u2019s hand-marked his favorite culverts<\/p>\n

Characters: Variabeauties<\/strong><\/p>\n

– A Player in the Reapers\u2019 Game and the leader of the Variabeauties
\n– Both kind and captivating, Kanon gives \u201cRindy\u201d and his teammates a crash course in the rules of the Game
\n– Her beauty also belies a cunning side that reveals itself when the situation warrants
\n– What she lacks in impressive psychic powers, she more than makes up for in wisdom, which has helped her survive the Game thus far<\/p>\n

Characters: Purehearts<\/strong><\/p>\n

– The social media-savvy team taking the game by storm and using their positive thinking as a weapon: the Purehearts<\/p>\n

Motoi (voiced by Nick Thurston in English, in Japanese)<\/strong><\/p>\n

– A Player in the Reapers\u2019 Game and the leader of the Purehearts
\n– His winning smile and poetic platitudes give off good vibes only, even though his superficiality and frequent use of \u201cfancy\u201d words can rub some people the wrong way
