Protagonist (Galactic Battle)

Protagonist (???) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Galactic Battle. 
The protagonist is the unnamed character that appears in the Famicom Detective Club games, often assisting Ayumi in investigating the various murders that have occurred in Ushumitsu High School.
Like Ayumi, Protagonist's design is based primarily off of the one found in the HD Nintendo Switch remake of the first two Famicom Detective Club games.
Despite having been a Japan-Only character, Protagonist will gain English Voice Acting in Galactic Battle, however, his voice actor has yet to be confirmed for both versions.
The Protagonist is an Echo Fighter of Ayumi Tachibana, and shares all of the same moves as her, save for various animations, voice clips, and various attacks.
==How to Unlock==

If the tea touches the opponent, it will put them to sleep, similar to Jigglypuff's Up Special, Sing. The move is based on a scene from Famicom Detective Club Part II, where Ayumi drugs the protagonist with tea.
Final Smash 	The Girl in the Back	A cinematic scene plays where Protagonist will pull out a knife, while a mirror appears behind him inside of an abandoned High School classroom similar to the ones seen in Famicom Detective Club. Protagonist then shatters the mirror with the knife, while the skeleton of Shinobu Asakawa, a murdered schoolgirl from Famicom Detective Club Part II appears, and grabs the opponents nearest to Protagonist, launching them away before causing a vortex to revert the stage back to normal.

Protagonist's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Protagonist in The Galactic Battle allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Galactic Battle.
