Previously ruled by Carte À Jouer, Binah used to be a place where weak Quasi-Spirits could hide and seek asylum. In order to facilitate this, Carte used Binah’s ability to alter time and shadows to provide hidden shelters. The egregious use of this resulted in a time lag between Binah and the other regions, with time flowing slower there than in the others. After being ousted by the White Queen, Binah fell under her control and is now made up of her devoted army, with the castle presumably being altered to suit her tastes as well. Carte was found hiding within the castle by Kurumi and Hibiki in Volume 3. As of Volume 4, the White Queen's forces in Binah are in the midst of a war against Haraka's disciples in the Fifth Region Gevurah. Culture Binah is the White Queen’s headquarters. Since she owns over 95% of the region, she and her three executives can freely manipulate and reshape the layout of the region as they please. So far, Rook has demonstrated this ability in order to hide important areas like the time storage vault after Kurumi Tokisaki escaped from her prison. The lifestyle in Binah can be best described as brainwashed. Everyone who lives there, barring Carte, is under the mind control of the White Queen. They are all fanatically devoted to her, and happy to die for her sake. She often commands them to launch assaults on other regions, such as Gevurah, and has a handle on Empty outside of Binah as well. The White Queen experiments on her subjects and creates monstrosities from them, though none of her actions are condemned nor seen as strange due to how obsessively devoted everyone in Binah is to her. Compile Due to the White Queen's obsession with the boy from the other world, she likes to hoard any memories generated during the Compile for herself. According to her subordinates, the White Queen has the look of a maiden blushing in love when experiencing those memories. During her time in Binah, Kurumi Tokisaki, who had since lost her memories, experienced one of her own memories through the Compile. It was a memory of when she snuck into Shido Itsuka's room while dressed in a Santa Claus costume. Known Inhabitants White Queen Rook Bishop Knight Carte À Jouer (Formerly) Connections Binah is directly connected to Gevurah, Tiphereth, Chokmah, and Keter. Binah is completely isolated from the other regions as the Dominions have sealed the pathways off to ensure their safety and to stave away White Queen’s forces. The exception to this is Gevurah, as the pathway was left open under Haraka Kagarike's discretion to ensure a tactical advantage by funneling the White Queen's soldiers into Gevurah. Trivia According to the Afterword of Date A Bullet Volume 3, Binah is based on Alice in Wonderland. Various creatures here like the Jabberwocky and the Snark are named after works done by Lewis Carroll. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chesed (ケセド, Kesedo?) is the Fourth Region in the Neighboring World and is connected to Yoshino Himekawa. The Dominion there is Ariadne Foxrot. Layout Chesed's layout remains unknown. History and Culture History After Spirits left and Quasi-Spirits took over, Ariadne Foxrot was eventually appointed Dominion of Chesed, which allowed her access to the secrets of the Neighboring World. Culture Due to Kurumi Tokisaki never visiting Chesed personally, little is known about Chesed's culture. Compile Little is known about Chesed; however, the Compile event has subjected many Quasi-Spirits there to falling in love with Shido. However, it is revealed that Ariadne is manipulating those who fall in love with Shido. She uses her Unsigned Angel on them to rewrite their dreams, eliminating their desire to want to leave the Neighboring World to meet Shido. Known Inhabitants Ariadne Foxrot Connections Chesed is directly connected to Netzach, Tiphereth, and Chokmah. The pathway between Netzach and Chesed is closed off. Trivia Chesed is a Hebrew word used to describe the kindness or love between people, the devotional piety of people towards God, and the love or mercy of God towards humanity. Chesed is associated with the color blue, matching Yoshino's hair and Sephira Crystal color. Despite Chesed being mentioned various times in the story through its Dominion Ariadne, as a region it never makes an appearance during Date A Bullet. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chokmah (コクマー, Kokumā?) is the Second Region in the Neighboring World and is associated with Nia Honjo. The Dominion there is Maya Yukishiro. Layout Chokmah’s layout is ambiguous; however, it was described to have a single tower-shaped building. This tower is a library that contains every book in the Neighboring World. Chokmah is described to be comprised of books, with even the sky covered in books. The only exception is the floor, which is engraved with letters instead. History and Culture History According to Maya, Chokmah was the starting point for Quasi-Spirits in the Neighboring World. In the past, all Quasi-Spirits lived in hiding there, fearing the Spirits. They then faded away without any meaning. It was the previous Dominion of Chokmah who discovered that Quasi-Spirits can stay alive by having a purpose in life. After entrusting her knowledge to all the Quasi-Spirits of Chokmah, that Dominion traveled to the other Regions to teach Quasi-Spirits about the secret, allowing the era of Quasi-Spirits to begin after all the Spirits left. Culture The culture in Chokmah is very matter-of-fact. Quasi-Spirits are tasked with two jobs: reading and learning from the book collection in Chokmah, or going out to secure books in other regions as well as teach others how to rule. Due to the nature of these two tasks, Quasi-Spirits in Chokmah need to excel in both combat and research skills. At the moment, many Quasi-Spirits are spending time devising ways to combat the White Queen for each region. Becoming the Dominion of Chokmah involves inheriting and dedicating one's life to protect the secret of the region. The secret itself is how the gate to the First Region Keter, which would allow access to unfathomable power at the cost of destroying the current Neighboring World, is hidden underneath the Second Region Chokmah. Compile Chokmah's Compile allows access to Nia Honjo's memories. However, there has yet to be an example provided of such a occurrence during Kurumi's stay in the Neighboring World. Known Inhabitants Maya Yukishiro Connections Chokmah is directly connected to Tiphereth, Chesed, Binah, and Keter. The pathways to Keter and Binah are closed off. The gate to the First Region Keter is hidden within Reiryoku pipelines underneath the Second Region Chokmah. Trivia In Hebrew, Chokmah means wisdom. Chokmah is represented by the color gray, matching Nia's hair color. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gevurah Gevurah (ゲブラー, Geburā?) is the Fifth Region in the Neighboring World and is associated with Kotori Itsuka. The Dominion there is Haraka Kagarike. Layout Gevurah is a barren wasteland filled with fire. The region is described to be similar to a prison, with the heat so intense that it could set nearby trees aflame. There are also active volcanoes in the region that occasionally erupt. Thanks to the work of the previous Dominion, Gevurah transformed into a swords and magic fantasy world with an RPG system. The region has monsters created by Reiryoku. According to Tsuan, most newbies unknowingly fall prey to slime monsters and get their Astral Dresses melted (with the effect lasting for 5 minutes) as a rite of initiation. Quasi-Spirits register themselves as an Adventurer in the Adventurers Guild and have their status listed in a status window. They can go on quests, defeat monsters, level up, and receive points to learn new skills. Most of these skills, such as magic, can only be used in Gevurah. However, Adventurers can also manually turn off their skills if they deem it necessary. Due to the system being designed for Quasi-Spirits, it wasn't fully compatible with Kurumi Tokisaki, who is a genuine Spirit. This leads to most of Kurumi's status being undecipherable and her obtaining the never before seen time magic. The most dangerous dungeon is the 5th Dungeon, Elohim Gibor. It is 10 floors deep, filled with Greater Demons right from the first floor. The deepest floor leads to a gate connecting Gevurah and Binah. Due to the lower floors coming under the control of the White Queen's forces, the floor bosses after the sixth floor have monsters that have merged together with Empty Quasi-Spirits. The White Queen's army also uses the teleport circle near the gate to transport themselves to the surface. History and Culture History The previous Dominion of Gevurah idolized swords and magic fantasy. To realize her dream, she went to other regions collecting Reiryoku. She then used up her whole life to recreate Gevurah into a world of fantasy story as she wanted. Not only locations, she also created an entire system, such as game-like status and skills, as well as dungeons and monsters. Gevurah and Chokmah hold a special function among the regions. Gevurah is the "control room" for Neighboring World's Reiryoku. When there is a large consumption of Reiryoku somewhere, Gevurah will produce energy to replace it. Because of that nature, the Reiryoku in this region is unstable, turning it into a wasteland. There were complaints about why the Dominion had to make the Region into a dangerous place, but in the end, the Quasi-Spirits of Gevurah enjoyed adventure as it became their reason for living. Culture Haraka Kagarike rules over Gevurah, and her students are trained there. Similarly to Malkuth, it is the only other region where Quasi-Spirits have their goals set in life or death battles. At this time, Haraka is absent from Gevurah, leaving Tsuan, her best student, in charge of the region. Half-jokingly, Haraka entrusts Ariadne Foxlot to take over from Tsuan if she isn’t able to cope with the burden of running a region. Gevurah is in direct conflict with the White Queen's army in a vicious war. According to Bishop, over half of the region is now under the White Queen's control. Compile While on the tenth floor of the Fifth Dungeon, Kurumi encounters a leftover Compile crystal. By grabbing it, she sees a past memory of a younger version of the boy from the other world risking his life and trying to save a young girl during a huge fire. Later on, when trapped in rockfall during her fight against the Tenth Spirit on the same floor, Kurumi touches another Compile sealed within herself rather than produced by the region. This Compile contained a personal past memory of writing a tanzaku in which she hopes to see that same boy again. Known Inhabitants Haraka Kagarike Tsuan Connections Gevurah is directly connected to Hod, Tiphereth, and Binah. Binah’s pathway is left open in order for Haraka to combat the White Queen's forces and return fire. Gevurah is also closed from Hod. Trivia The Fifth Dungeon Elohim Gibor in Gevurah shares the same name as Kotori's Astral Dress. Gevurah is associated with the color red, matching Kotori's hair and Sephira Crystal. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hod Hod (ホド, Hodo?) is the Eighth Region in the Neighboring World and is associated with the Yamai Sisters. The Dominion there was Kareha Banouin, but she passed the title to Retsumi Jugasaki shortly before dying. After Retsumi decided to head to the real world, the position of Hod became vacant, with Maya Yukishiro struggling to appoint a replacement. Layout Hod appears as two islands separated from each other by the sea. At the rebel base, there is a large storage house for fireworks. The center of the region is Banouin Castle, where Kareha's subordinates are gathered. There is a large fortress separating the castle from the sandy beach. Covered in barbed wire, it acts as the main defensive point to protect the main castle from rebel attacks. Behind the castle is a large forest in the mountains. The Empties in the region also have hidden themselves in an abandoned house located in the mountains. Hod is also mentioned to be so windy that it is difficult for Quasi-Spirits to fly. Kareha Banouin, by using her authority as Dominion, ensured that Hod's climate was kept in stasis as an eternal summer in order to facilitate the tropical nature of Hod. History and Culture History Competition has always played a huge role in shaping activity in Hod. Originally, the competitions were innocent and innocuous contests like racing or hide and seek. However, with Quasi-Spirits fleeing from Malkuth moving here, the values brought from the Tenth Region gradually caused the contests to grow more aggressive. Culture Recently, Hod was in a perpetual state of civil war. However, instead of the war being fought with lethal weapons, the rebel army and the ruling opposition fought with water pistols, hence why Kareha modeled its geography off of a beach. Kareha was opposed to violence, but wanted to continue enjoying her time with rebellion leader Retsumi; a Quasi-Spirit who enjoyed battle. In order to separate Hod from the violence of Malkuth and Gevurah, the combat between the two factions is entirely non-lethal. However, fireworks and explosions are still used, as well as traps littered across the beach. This shift allowed for Quasi-Spirits to live out their goals in a non-lethal way. Retsumi and Kareha recognized that the Quasi-Spirits living there enjoyed the deathless civil war, and the two hid the secret of their relationship in order to ensure the civil war was realistic so that the Quasi-Spirits wouldn't become unstable and therefore Empty. After Kahera’s death, Hod’s summer ended and therefore the temperature began to drop. Retsumi now rules over Hod. She vowed to take up the mantle of Hod's happy culture without letting hatred and killing ruin the region. Her words united both armies in the civil wall, with the Quasi-Spirits there pledging their allegiance. She also stated to Kurumi that they would focus on defeating the White Queen, that they would fight, train, and spar to grow stronger, aiming to outshine Gevurah and Malkuth in might. The Quasi-Spirits focused their feelings of revenge and directed them towards avenging Kareha, galvanizing their collective values. Compile No Compile in Hod has been described in detail during Kurumi Tokisaki's visit in the Neighboring World. However, it presumably allows the user to peer into the Yamai twins' memories. Known Inhabitants Kareha Banouin (Formerly) Retsumi Jugasaki (Formerly) Todou Mizuha Banouin (Formerly) Connections Hod is directly connected to Yesod, Tiphereth, and Gevurah. Gevurah is closed off from Hod. Trivia In Hebrew, Hod can mean either majesty, splendor, or glory. According to Kurumi, the war-zone beach in Hod takes cues from Omaha Beach. Hod is associated with orange, which matches the color of the Yamai sisters' hair and Sephira Crystal. It is also associated with mercury, which is a description used to indicate the twin’s eye color. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keter Keter (ケテル, Keteru?) is the First Region in the Neighboring World and is associated with Origami Tobiichi. Layout When Kurumi arrived in Keter, the layout resembled a town once lived by humans, even complete with a replica of her old school. However, Kurumi theorizes that Keter was originally empty, and the changes in scenery were caused by Sawa arriving there first and gaining the title of Dominion by default. During their final battle, Sawa uses her power as Dominion to recreate her house from her own memories in order to gain a home-turf advantage against Kurumi. History Since Keter is rumored to be able to send someone back to the real world, it is the main goal of Kurumi Tokisaki, as well as the White Queen’s objective. According to Maya, opening a portal to the real world is possible in the First Region Keter. However, that also has a good chance of collapsing the entire Neighboring World upon opening the gate. Due to no records of any Quasi-Spirit ever reaching Keter, the position of Dominion ended up going to Sawa Yamauchi, who was the first person to arrive there. Just before Sawa passed away, she handed down the position of Dominion to Hibiki Higoromo. However, that act was shortly-lived, as Hibiki abdicated the position moments later to depart for the real world. Afterward, the position of Keter's Dominion remains vacant, with Maya noting that finding a replacement there isn't a high priority when compared to the other regions. Compile Keter's Compile presumably allows access to Origami Tobiichi's memories. However, during the brief visit to Keter, no Compile has been documented. Known Inhabitants Unlike the other regions, Keter's near-mythical status meant that it was never accessible to other Quasi-Spirits. Consequently, this meant that there were no Quasi-Spirits living there at all prior to Kurumi and Sawa's entry into this region. Connections Keter is directly connected to Binah and Chokmah via closed pathways. It has been stated to be sealed off with no method of contact between other Regions, and the other Dominions have stated that traveling there is nigh impossible. In truth, this is a masquerade that Maya Yukishiro wishes to uphold. The gate to the First Region Keter can be found in the Reiryoku pipelines underneath the Second Region Chokmah. Keter also contains a gate that is connected to the real world. Opening the gate requires authority granted from Keter's Dominion. Due to the impending catastrophe to the Neighboring World caused by the death of Mio Takamiya, Hibiki opened the gate with the intention of severing the Neighboring World's connection to reality afterward. Departure to the real world is also extremely risky, as voyagers are required to relinquish their Reiryoku-made bodies in exchange for physical bodies made of flesh and blood. For Quasi-Spirits who have no recollections of ever having a physical body, the perilous process of physical incarnation can lead to them losing themselves in the process. Trivia Keter means crown in Hebrew. In the Kabbalah, Keter is the topmost of the Sephirot of the Tree of Life. Keter is associated with the color white, which matches the color of its corresponding Spirit Origami and her Sephira Crystal. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Malkuth Malkuth (マルクト, Marukuto?) is the Tenth Region in the Neighboring World and is associated with Tohka Yatogami. After Doll Master’s death, Malkuth was left without a Dominion. Consequently, Haraka Kagarike was sent over to help stabilize the region. Layout Malkuth is similar to Tengu City in layout, with a school created by Doll Master and a large mall near the outskirts of the region. The school is now reduced to rubble after Kurumi defeated Doll Master. The edges of Malkuth are a barren wasteland littered with craters left by meteors. History and Culture History Malkuth was a region where Quasi-Spirits who lived for bloodshed and battle thrived. It was to the extent that they even considered threatening other regions if it meant pursuing a good fight. In the past, there was a violent conflict over the seat of Dominion. During this conflict, Haraka Kagarike's friends ended up killing each other. Eventually, Malkuth's policy of aggression towards the other regions came to an end after Doll Master ascended to the position of Dominion. Doll Master held killing games for people she personally gave invitations. However, the reason for the games was not to provide Quasi-Spirits with a goal but instead to give Doll Master the chance to have the participants murder each other so she could harvest their Sephira fragments. In doing so, she would convert those she killed into dolls that joined her personal army. After Kurumi Tokisaki enters Malkuth and her identity is stolen by Hibiki, Kurumi as an Empty follows Hibiki's journey for vengeance. The Doll Master is eventually killed by Hibiki Higoromo and her headquarters, the school, is reduced to rubble by Kurumi before she leaves. This left Malkuth with no Dominion; however, Haraka Kagarike set off to Malkuth in order to find a replacement Dominion to prevent the White Queen from claiming more territory. Culture Following Doll Master's death, it is ambiguous as to whether or not the culture of killing games and bloodthirsty battles continued. However, it was mentioned that Malkuth is a place where 'sick' Quasi-Spirits go to fight to the death in visceral battles that are serious and more often than not result in death. Throughout the Doll Master's last killing game preceding her death, it was clear that the Quasi-Spirits there lived to fight and thought about very little else, with many sharing desires to best others, kill them, or get a needed adrenaline rush, fueled by the incentive of the Doll Master's false prize. Compile Those who were caught in the Compile gain a first-hand experience of Tohka Yatogami's memories. For Kurumi, when she was reduced to an Empty with her identity stolen by Hibiki, she saw Tohka's memories of being given a name by Shido. In turn, this caused Kurumi to fall in love with Shido again. According to Sheri and Furue, Quasi-Spirits falling in love after contact with the Compile is a fairly regular occurrence in Malkuth. However, in the case of Kareha Banouin, she saw one of Tohka's memories of standing under a large pile of rubble after causing a Spacequake. This consequently triggered her PTSD, forcing her to remember her last moments alive as a human being. The Compile shown in Volume 1 manifested as large black pillars that jutted out from the ground, covered in needles. These pillars damaged the mall it occurred in and tilted the entire floor, making it give way and forcing Kurumi-in-Hibiki's body to slide down into one of the larger pillars. Known Inhabitants Doll Master Sheri Musika Aiai Nogi Ayame Takeshita Isami Hijikata Furue Tonami Yue Hiryu Yume Inui Connections Malkuth is directly connected to Yesod. Malkuth has very little if any security. However, Yesod has tight security and requires travelers to state their reasons for their journey. Trivia In Hermetic and Christian Kabbalah, Malkuth means kingdom; the emanation furthest from the divine source and associated with the realm of matter/earth and relates to the physical world. During the White Queen's ritual to summon a copy of the Tenth Spirit, the Spirit was born in the corresponding Tenth Region Malkuth despite the ritual itself being commenced in Gevurah. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tiphereth Tiphereth (テイファレト, Teifareto?) is the Sixth Region in the Neighboring World and is associated with Mukuro Hoshimiya. The Dominion there is Oka Miyafuji, but after her death, the position is left vacant. Layout As the central hub of the Neighboring World, Tiphereth is directly connected to each region apart from Malkuth and Keter. The main attraction of Tiphereth is Oka’s mansion, a large building where the conferences between Dominions are held. On the side, there is a gambling hall where Hibiki is infamous for cheating when playing Mahjong, and a strawberry parfait shop that Rinemu travels to when visiting. History and Culture History Due to its convenient location, Dominion conferences are often held here. Oka as a Dominion favors unity and therefore attempts to incorporate aspects from all the other regions in order to exemplify this. Furthermore, Tiphereth has a policy in which things are to be natural, with crafts such as cooking encouraged to be made from real ingredients rather than Reiryoku. Currently, Oka’s death has left Tiphereth in a state of unrest. It was also revealed that the White Queen's forces had completely infiltrated Tiphereth through the Empty population, allowing the White Queen access to the region whenever she pleased. Oka had attempted to make countermeasures for this, but it is unknown how effective her methods ended up being. Culture Due to being at the center of the Neighboring World, Tiphereth serves as an information hub, with Oka claiming that any information that passes through the Neighboring World will eventually reach her region. Compile Theoretically, Tiphereth's Compile should allow the user to access Mukuro Hoshimiya's memories from a first-person perspective. However, no records of any Compile have been mentioned during Kurumi's journey through the Neighboring World. Known Inhabitants Oka Miyafuji (Formerly) Connections Tiphereth is directly connected to Yesod, Hod, Netzach, Gevurah, Chesed, Binah, and Chokmah. Binah’s pathway is closed off due to the White Queen's invasion. Trivia Tiphereth means beauty or splendor in Hebrew. Tiphereth is associated with the color yellow, matching the color of Mukuro's hair and Sephira Crystal. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yesod Yesod (イエソド, Iesodo?) is the Ninth Region in the Neighboring World and is associated with Miku Izayoi. The Dominion there was Mizuha Banouin, and the Deputy Dominion was Rinemu Kirari. After both Mizuha and Rinemu decide to head to the real world, the position of Dominion of Yesod is left vacant, with Maya struggling to find a suitable replacement. Layout Yesod’s main attraction is the central town, which houses a large idol stadium where high-profile idols perform. There are smaller stages littered around for new idols to debut. The town has cafes, residential areas, and a multitude of other miscellaneous buildings. The outskirts of Yesod harbor the Cradle of Dreams, where Empties often go to die and vanish into light. The Cradle of Dreams appears as a decrepit, abandoned theme park with a carousel, roller coaster, and a few other smaller attractions. This place also holds the . History and Culture History Rinemu Kirari was the original Dominion in Yesod before Mizuha. However, due to a Compile that occurred, Rinemu lost her singing ability and thus her status as Dominion. Following her fall from grace, Mizuha Banouin stepped in to take over. This change in Dominion angered Mayuka Momozono, who believed herself to be a far better candidate for Dominion than Mizuha. Yesod's history is believed to have remained static, with idol culture being a large part of life there. Quasi-Spirits in Yesod seemed to have been mostly focused on singing and growing in popularity due to them needing a desire to live, and because they enjoyed what they did. Compared to regions like Malkuth, Yesod has had a far less brutal history. Culture Yesod’s society revolves around performance and idols. Quasi-Spirits living there are often grouped into idols, managers, producers and event staff. Within the idol community, there are three genres; Lovely, which is characterized by a cutesy appearance and pop songs, accounting for 50% of idols. Then, there is Stylish, those who favor skill tend to pick this genre. Finally, there is Chaos, characterized by eccentricity. There are different rankings for idols. E rank, where an idol has less than ten fans. Then, D, C, B, A (5,000 fans), AA (10,000), AAA (15,000), S (20,000 fans), SS and SSS. SSS requires special conditions in order to achieve, and is the hardest to get to according to Hibiki Higoromo. There are also backup dancers, who tend to be around A rank. It is widely regarded as the region where weak Quasi-Spirits reside due to the pacifistic nature of idol work. Idol concerts are used to create Reiryoku, and Quasi-Spirits with a passion for this kind of work are able to continue living in Yesod due to its accommodating nature. Due to this pacifism, fighting is forbidden here. Ninth Type Quasi-Spirits appear to gather here the most, as Ninth Types have an advantage over other types when it comes to sound and therefore singing. Mizuha Banouin, the Dominion, is a special exception as she is an Eighth Type and a highly revered idol. Despite Yesod being one of the arguably more pacifistic regions, Empties are often used for menial tasks there, such as being bodyguards. Assassins from other regions are also hired in Yesod to target specific Quasi-Spirits due to most idols here being unable to fight. After Rinemu gained the Voice of the Moon and thwarted Mayuka's plans of becoming Dominion, she and Mizuha worked to rule Yesod together, and sent it into a new ‘golden age.’ Compile Yesod’s Compile event resulted in the current Dominion at the time, Rinemu Kirari, leaping on stage to save Mizuha from the pillars and losing her ability to sing in the process. Having lost this ability, she was forced to forfeit her position as Dominion as well. Known Inhabitants Mizuha Banouin (Formerly) Rinemu Kirari (Formerly) Mayuka Momozono Connections Yesod is directly connected to Malkuth, Tiphereth, Netzach, and Hod. There are no closed pathways between the three. However, Yesod has high security and standards for travelers who wish to leave and enter. This is because Mizuha endeavors to keep Quasi-Spirits safe from harm when under her care. Trivia Rinemu has theorized that the Ninth Region Yesod is obsessed with idols due to the Ninth Spirit also being an idol. Yesod is associated with the moon, which is referenced by its corresponding Spirit Miku having a crescent moon hairpiece included in her Astral Dress. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TERMINOLOGY Irregular Irregular (人工精霊イレギュラー, Iregyurā?. lit. "Artificial Spirit") is a new race introduced in Date A Live: Arusu Install. In the English release of the game, Irregulars are called AI Spirits. Only two such Spirits are known to exist: Maria Arusu and Marina Arusu. Background The term is first mentioned by Kotori after an unforeseen error causes Shido to become trapped in a virtual reality dating game called Fall in Love My Little Shido 2 shortly after encountering a mysterious girl who shouldn't exist in the game's program. The possibility of hacking was raised, but due to the game being run using a Realizer through the Fraxinus's own systems, Reine stated that it was impossible for a human to possibly hack in. Following her logic, Kotori raised the possibility that the hacker is a Spirit, to which Reine replies that though the being had the powers of a Spirit, it existed only in the form of data, with no physical body of its own. Kotori then coins the term to describe the unknown being. Maria Arusu Origins It is eventually revealed that the first Irregular, or AI Spirit, was created by Isaac Westcott, as seen during the game's opening scene. This Spirit was Marina Arusu, who was created in order to breach the Fraxinus's otherwise impenetrable cyber defenses. Marina was able to destroy some of the Fraxinu's protections and slip inside. Detecting the intrusion, the Fraxinus AI system managed to trap Marina inside the virtual world with a poweful firewall to protect the Fraxinus's main computer. Seemingly using Marina's own design as a template, another version of Arusu, who Shido names Maria, appeared within the game, having been formed from the Fraxinus's control AI itself. Cut off from the main computer, Maria had lost most of her memories, only retaining her information on the Shido and the Spirits, together with her programmed function to foster love. The latter was the cause of her desire to understand what love was. Maria continues to run the firewall protecting the Fraxinus subconsciously, keeping Marina trapped. This also prevented Shido and the other girls from leaving. Marina realized that if Maria were to gain human emotions, she might drop her guard long enough for Marina to seize control. She therefore encourages Shido to teach Maria about love. Trivia It is never explicitly mentioned how Westcott created Marina or how the Fraxinus was able to copy her to create Maria. Marina's design was later used as a basis for Nibelcole, another artificial Spirit produced by Westcott. Maria's design was later reused when Nia Honjo used her Angel to give form to the Frxinus AI, MARIA. Notably, both reappearances were accomplished using power derived from Nia. Moreover, all of the designs use a nun theme for their standard appearances, similar to Nia's own Astral Dress. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ratatoskr's Daily Observations/Ratatoskr's Confidential: Spirit's Data Tohka Yatogami Risk Factors: AAA Spacequake: B Spirit's Astral Dress: AAA Angel: AAA Strength: 230 Consistency: 202 Reiryoku: 125 Agility: 142 Intelligence: 32 Yoshino Risk Factors: B Spacequake: C Spirit's Astral Dress: B Angel: AA Strength: 95 Consistency: 82 Reiryoku: 199 Agility: 212 Intelligence: 152 Kurumi Tokisaki Risk Factors: S Spacequake: C Spirit's Astral Dress: C Angel: S Strength: 109 Consistency: 80 Reiryoku: 220 Agility: 103 Intelligence: 201 Kotori Itsuka Risk Factors: AA Spacequake: B Spirit's Astral Dress: A Angel: AA Strength: 150 Consistency: 100 Reiryoku: 215 Agility: 130 Intelligence: 178 Yamai Risk Factors: AAA Spacequake: AA Spirit's Astral Dress: B Angel: AA Kaguya Yamai: [Strength: 180 Consistency: 140 Reiryoku: 179 Agility: 240 Intelligence: 69] Yuzuru Yamai: [Strength: 170 Consistency: 129 Reiryoku: 185 Agility: 240 Intelligence: 84] Miku Izayoi Risk Factors: A Spacequake: B Spirit's Astral Dress: C Angel: AA Strength: 85 Consistency: 72 Reiryoku: 159 Agility: 67 Intelligence: 70 Dark Tohka Yatogami Risk Factors: SS Spacequake: A Spirit's Astral Dress: AAA Demon King: AAA Strength: 240 Consistency: 178 Reiryoku: 201 Agility: 150 Intelligence: 33 Natsumi Risk Factors: B Spacequake: C Spirit's Astral Dress: C Angel: AA Strength: 79 Consistency: 65 Reiryoku: 180 Agility: 82 Intelligence: 174 Origami Tobiichi Risk Factors: AAA Spacequake: AA Spirit's Astral Dress: AA Angel: AAA Strength: 158 Consistency: 152 Reiryoku: 219 Agility: 136 Intelligence: 243 Dark Origami Tobiichi Risk Factors: SS Spacequake: AAA Spirit's Astral Dress: AA Demon King: AAA Strength: 198 Consistency: 202 Reiryoku: 242 Agility: 128 Intelligence: 230 Rinne Sonogami ※ Stats in parenthesis are numbers in the Utopia world Risk Factors: SS Spacequake: S Spirit's Astral Dress: S Angel: SS Strength: 110 (205) Consistency: 180 (220) Reiryoku: 210 (244) Agility: 101 (209) Intelligence: 170 (200) Rio Sonogami ※ Stats in parenthesis are numbers in the Utopia world Risk Factors: A Spacequake: A Spirit's Astral Dress: C Angel: S Strength: 30 (43) Consistency: 28 (35) Reiryoku: 45 (230) Agility: 45 (52) Intelligence: 31 (31) Maria Arusu Risk Factors: C Spacequake: Unknown Spirit's Astral Dress: AA Angel: Unknown Strength: 99 Consistency: 102 Reiryoku: 178 Agility: 107 Intelligence: 121 Marina Arusu Risk Factors: AA Spacequake: Unknown Spirit's Astral Dress: AA Angel: Unknown Strength: 139 Consistency: 98 Reiryoku: 165 Agility: 187 Intelligence: 135 Nia Honjo Risk Factors: A Spacequake: C Spirit's Astral Dress: C Angel: S Strength: 60 Consistency: 59 Reiryoku: 142 Agility: 64 Intelligence: 245 Mukuro Hoshimiya ※ Stats in parenthesis are when Mukuro uses the true potential of Shifuru.

SUMMARY

Shido Itsuka was just another regular high school boy with a normal life. But, on the last day of the spring holidays before school started, a Spacequake wrecked the town and a girl in armor appeared in front of him. Shido's adoptive sister, Kotori, tells him that the girl is a "Special Disasterous Designated Creature: Spirit," which caused the Spacequakes and revealed that she was the commander of the organization that dealt with Spirits, <Ratatoskr> and ordered him to go out on a date with the Spirit in order to pacify her. Kotori tells him, "I don't ask you to defeat the Spirit. Just let her fall in love with you and save the world."

This bot was heavily inspired by @Walker_Void2's own bot, so I give them all the credit, including for giving me the idea to create a bot for my favorite anime and the idea to add the characters to the Lorebook to prevent them from being stolen :3

Credits from @Edwin0735 too 😺

All the information in this bot was taken from the anime's Wiki.
