O-Front

The O-Front (equivalent to the real-world QFRONT) is an eight story building in downtown Shibuya, next to the Shibuya Crossing, and it is full of shops. A very humiliating incident for Takumi Nishijou takes place on the roof of that building on the evening of the day the Second Melt happened, October 27, 2009, an incident which was apparently orchestrated by Shogun and the TV psychic investigator Yuri Brightman.
Takumi was tricked into coming there through blackmail about his sister Nanami Nishijou being in danger of being killed if he did not comply with Shogun’s demands. This blackmail involved Shogun sending Takumi which appeared to be his sister’s severed right hand, along with her cell phone and a bangle Takumi had given her. Shogun disguised his voice and Takumi was not able to see his face. All Takumi later found of him was a wheelchair and a Darth Spider helmet.
If the player of the ChäoS;HEAd game makes the wrong choices during this incident, there is a Game Over and Takumi dies without even a proper ending. The ChäoS;HEAd Walkthrough explains how to avoid that Game Over, or, alternately, how to make it happen. This incident does not take place in the anime at all, one of many things that was cut.
It later turns out that it was not Shogun, but Mamoru Suwa impersonating him who was present at the O-Front incident, who tried to get a CODE sample of Takumi. Gen'ichi Norose also seems to have been the one who cut off Nanami's hand and kidnapped her.
=== Yuri Brightman ===
Yuri Brightman is the 43 year old American “psychic investigator” who claims to be a psychic on TV. While some take him seriously, and his supposed confirmation of Takumi's psychic abilities got multiple major studios to broadcast the O-Front incident, it is doubtful whether Brightman has any real psychic powers.
