Main characters[edit]

Fuuko Izumo[edit]

Voiced by: Moe Kahara[1] (Japanese); Jackie Lastra[2] (English)

Fuuko Izumo (出雲 風子, Izumo Fūko) is an 18-year-old girl who teams up with Andy. When she was a child, her Negator ability awakened and she accidentally killed her parents, along with other people, in a plane malfunction. As such, she became severely asocial out of fear of harming others with her ability, and was suicidal until meeting Andy. Her Negator ability, "Unluck" causes whoever touches her skin-to-skin to encounter misfortune ranging from mild to severe based on how long was the contact and the level of affection she harbours to the target. Following the events of the Ragnarok arc, she becomes the new leader of the Union in the 101st loop. She learned to bypass the skin-to-skin and affection level weakness by creating "Bad Bullets", where she places her Unluck into the bullets and shoot it to the target. Once it hits the target, Unluck will make way to the bullet, hitting the target in the process.

Andy[edit]

Voiced by: Yuichi Nakamura[1] (Japanese); Ben Balmaceda[2] (English)

Andy (アンディ, Andi) is a suicidal and reckless man who teams up with Fuuko. He is obsessed with finding a way to kill himself and takes an interest in Fuuko for her Unluck ability. His Negator ability "Undead" prevents him from dying and he can use his regenerative abilities to do a multitude of things, such as firing his finger like a bullet. He has a card in his head that, when removed, releases a second personality called Victhor. A running gag is his clothes being destroyed, as he can not regenerate them, but this stopped when he tames the UMA Clothes. However, his crotch still gets exposed at times whether by accident or on purpose by UMA Clothes. It is later revealed that Andy is one of the only people capable of entering the next loop without Ark, as his ability means he does not die even when the world is destroyed.

She is the sixth seater. Her real name is Haruka Yamaoka (山岡 春歌), "Isshin" being the name her family carries as blacksmiths, and is bestowed upon who next gains the ability. She is the 13th to bear the name, which causes her anxiety and fear of not living up to her title. A running gag is that she is too anxious to talk and communicates through signs. Her grandfather takes her place during the final loop, as she is still a baby when Fuuko recruits them.

Phil Hawkins[edit]
