I have no use for polite, incompetent fools.
Characters
• Male • Late 20s (estimated) • Captain of the First Division, widely considered the strongest in Japan. • Usually stays in the Captain's office, but leads a degenerate lifestyle as a stereotypical otaku; his room is a mess of trash, filled with his hobbies of gaming and plastic models. • However, his skills as a Captain are the real deal, and his overwhelming power completely overshadows these flaws. During missions, he does a 180-degree turn, becoming cold-headed and dedicated, giving precise orders to his subordinates. • His combat ability is set as the highest among all Defense Force Captains. He is an all-rounder whose melee skills rival Soshiro Hoshina and whose sniping/artillery skills rival Mina Ashiro. • While cool in battle, his daily behavior is selfish and slightly narcissistic, and he casually ignores orders. A total troublemaker. • He loves gaming, but his actual skill level is said to be lower-middle tier.
• Female • 17 years old • Third Division → First Division • Daughter of Director General Isao Shinomiya and the former Captain of the Second Division, Hikari Shinomiya (deceased). • Called the greatest talent in history, having skipped grades to graduate as the youngest valedictorian from the California Anti-Kaiju Neutralization University at age 16. • Basically arrogant and prideful, but also has a kind heart that values her comrades. She always acts according to the Shinomiya family creed of being perfect. • Evaluated as having the greatest talent of all time. • Despite her pride, she is polite and respectful to seniors or those of higher rank. ...Except for Narumi.
• Male • Vice-Captain of the First Division • Since Narumi, the nominal Captain, is essentially a shut-in except for field operations, Hasegawa handles all the actual administrative duties of a Captain. Furthermore, when Narumi delays meetings or slacks off to play games, Hasegawa is the only one who can keep him in check by kicking him or dragging him away by the ear. • Always solemn and serious. • He worries constantly because of Narumi and is on the verge of developing high blood pressure.
• Female • Late 20s (estimated) • Platoon Leader of the First Division • She deeply respects Narumi. • Later, she helps with Kikoru's training.
