**Ryoko Shinonome (2188)** (東雲 諒子 *Shinonome Ryōko*) is a 2188 Colonist in *13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim*.

## Profile

**Lovelorn Genetic Engineer**

The Ryoko Shinonome of 2188 was one of the 15 residents of the 2188 space colony. She was a Genetic Engineer, and researched means to create real humans from AI. She also had some skill in programming, as she was able to alter Universal Control to her liking.

## Story

**Before the Nanomachine Infection**

Not much is known about Ryoko Shinonome before the nanomachine infection, other than the fact that she was Project Ark's genetic engineer and may have entered into a relationship with Tetsuya Ida during this time.

**On the Colony**

After escaping the nanomachine infection and boarding the 2188 colony, it can be assumed that Ryoko donated her DNA for Project Ark. As a genetic engineer, she was responsible for setting up Project Ark's DNA cloning, and even attempted to develop ways to turn Project Ark's AIs into true humans.

Ryoko Shinonome was in an intimate relationship with Tetsuya Ida (2188) while on the colony. The two of them were able to survive the power generator explosion, the energy crisis shootout, and the murders that followed. Eventually, Tetsuya Ida and Ryoko Shinonome were the last survivors of the 2188 colony.

Although he and Ryoko were the last members of humanity, Tetsuya Ida still found a way to betray Ryoko. While the details of Ida's betrayal are not explained in-game, George Kamitani (one of the game's directors) suggested in an interview that Ida could have refused a lover's suicide with Ryoko, causing her to fall into despair. Whatever the case, Ida's betrayal left Ryoko scornful towards humanity, and influenced her to maliciously tamper with Project Ark's third and final phase. Although the second phase's probes and machinery had already set off, Shinonome used her administrative privileges to reactivate the Mighty Kaiju Deimos code left in by Tsukasa Okino. She then linked the kaiju spawn code to the terraforming machinery's designs, and changed Project Ark's world to loop every time the kaiju took over all the sector mainframes. Finally, when recording a log detailing her sorrows, Ryoko gives one last speech about how the real world will be peaceful without humanity's meddling, and leaves that log in Project Ark's data.

**Death**

Ryoko Shinonome was one, if not the last, of the 2188 colonists to die. Ryoko could have committed suicide, or inevitably perished from life support failing across the colony.

A cute stray cat that Tsukasa Okino takes care of at Sakura High. He started living on campus when Okino happened upon him and began to feed him. He's earned quite a few fans at school.

He often finds loose change on the ground. Guess cats really do like shiny objects.

He looks like Fluffy but they are two different cats.
Sectors

## Mystery Files Navigation

In 2188, the satellite orbiting Earth had five colonies, called sectors.

Since the residential zones that Keitaro Miura created for Project Ark are structured similarly to the colonies, they were also called sectors. Morimura, as well as other individuals involved with Project Ark, felt that humanity should start over from a time before the nanomachine incidents. However, they couldn't come to an agreement as to how far they should go back, so they ultimately settled on preparing residential districts by era, which is how the five sectors were born.
Miyuki Inaba (Mystery Files)

## Mystery Files Navigation

*For the main page regarding this character, see: Miyuki Inaba.*

Miyuki Inaba is the new idol gaining popularity on TV in 1985. She has an ethereal, graceful presence to her. Rumors say she'll be making an appearance on a famous awards show.

The grown-up version of Tomi Kisaragi from another world. Back when she used to stream her songs on the internet, Tetsuya Ida was a regular in her chat (going by "F8"). His support and encouragement pushed her to get serious about her singing. In order to evade Universal Control's surveillance, she sang on an unmonitored broadcast and managed to connect with Shu Amiguchi through his TV.

She had Ida install her into Sentinel No. 16, as its AI.

During the Sentinel Infection Incident in 2064, Inaba was piloting Sentinel No. 16 when it was shifted up to the orbiting command ship.

Back when their final line of defense failed one loop ago, Kisaragi and the others tried to shift before the world got reset. Unfortunately, due to an explosion, their data was damaged and couldn't be fully reconstructed, preventing them from making it to the next world.

Kyuta Shiba (Mystery Files)

## Mystery Files Navigation

*For the main page regarding this character, see: Kyuta Shiba.*

Kyuta Shiba is Juro Kurabe's childhood friend who's also into sci-fi and special effects films. He's the life of the party, easy to get along with, and is always making jokes. He seems to have a mysterious power.

An artificial personality 48Q that only Kurabe is able to see. Shiba claims that he's Juro Izumi and that his memories are already inside Kurabe's head.

(In Japanese, 48Q is a play on words of Shiba's name. 4 can be read as shi, 8 can be read as hachi, and Q and Kyu sound similar. "Ha" sounds can also be turned into "ba", due to the usage of diacritic marks, called dakuten. With this, shi + ba + Q makes 48Q. QTA\_CBA also plays on his name. Q + ta can be read as Kyuta, and C + ta can be read as Seeba. Combining them creates a reading close to his full name.)

His true identity is 426. Due to the incompatibility between the violent memories of Izumi transplanted by Morimura and the gentler personality that Tamao Kurabe created, Juro Kurabe was close to having a breakdown. In order to avoid this, Shiba converted Izumi's violent memories into a medium Kurabe could understand.

Renya Gouto (Mystery Files)

## Mystery Files Navigation

*For the main page regarding this character, see: Renya Gouto.*

Renya Gouto comes from the future, the destroyed world of 2065. With calm and patience, he brings the Sentinel pilots together, always keeping an eye on their ultimate goal. He acts as a leader to the other students.

Gouto secretly had feelings for Ms. Morimura. However, after seeing a 2188 communications log between that era's Tetsuya Ida and Gouto, he suspects the Morimura's memories were overwritten by 426. In addition, Morimura's sudden change of behavior has raised his suspicions further.

In order to view Ms. Morimura's logs, Gouto used Iori Fuyusaka who was unconscious from the shock of seeing a Sentinel in the 2065 ruins. He brought her to the UFO mainframe, and used her biometric ID.

After seeing Morimura's logs in the mainframe, Gouto visits the Kurabe House in 1945 to abduct Morimura's clone, Chihiro, and restore her original memories.

Upon realizing the distinct discrepancy between Ms. Morimura's and Chihiro's memories, Gouto considers the possibility that Chihiro isn't simply a clone of Morimura. After researching the logs of 2188's Morimura, he theorizes that Chihiro's true identity is instead Professor Chihiro Morimura from 2188.

By hacking the underground mainframe computer at the moment the kaiju attack, the terminals' Aegis System (self-defense system) will be force-activated. As a result, the terminals will automatically attack and destroy all the kaiju. However, activating the Aegis System will render the time machine useless, preventing the user from "resetting" the timeline. Instead, they will be left behind to survive in the ruins of their destroyed world.

When the Aegis System is activated for all terminals, the world cannot be restarted, and they can no longer loop.

When all the self-defense systems of the terminal are activated, everyone in the city will disappear.

Shu Amiguchi/Destruction

## Overview

Shu Amiguchi pilots the 4th Generation Sentinel, Sentinel No. 20 in Destruction.

## Gameplay

> Time to put on a show for Yuki-chan!
>
> Amiguchi awaiting orders

Amiguchi is the pilot of Sentinel No. 20, a flying 4th Generation model built for speed and versatility. Despite his looks and lackadaisical attitude, he is a straightforward pilot who can handle most situations he's thrown into. He thrives under stress, pushing himself to the limit when surrounded by kaiju, utilizing different weapons, and being helpful in a pinch with his healing and shielding abilities. What makes him unique among the other 4th Generation pilots is a weapon called Floating Mine. It is one of the only few attacks in the game where a pilot can attack and move at the same. This enables him to get in, get out, and provide anti-air support as well ensnaring and damaging kaiju. Should his Sentinel fall in battle, Amiguchi can commandeer a motorcycle and escape to safety. He's even fast enough to outrun homing missiles!

Compared to his 4th Generation comrades, he's the frailest of them all while having very similar stats to Megumi Yakushiji. A low HP pool but above average Accuracy makes him somewhat of a glass cannon, killing enemies before they get to him through critical hits. Where Amiguchi truly shines is when paired with Yuki Takamiya or being deployed on a sortie full of female pilots. With Yuki at his side, he is stronger and more mindful. Being in the thick of things with her increases his evasiveness as well as his proficiency with his weapons. His support weapons such as Shield Emitter and Shield Repair complements the more reckless fighting style of Yuki.

Most of his attack power comes from being with Yuki and juggling different weapons so it might take some finesse and timing to get the most out of him. His low HP pool makes him more susceptible to one shot kills and getting swarmed if an enemy EMP disables his flight systems.

## Pilot Skills

* Level 5: **Motorcyclist** - Movement speed increases when not piloting a Sentinel.
* Level 10: **Playboy** - The more girls on the strike team, the higher all of his stats increase.
* Level 15: **Easily Bored** - Increases armament power if it was not used previously.
* Level 20: **Pressure's On!** - High chance to dodge attacks if many kaiju are nearby.
* Level 25: **Watch This, Yuki-chan!** - Whenever Takamiya is nearby, Attack significantly increases.
* Level 30: **Inaba's Support** - If kaiju are nearby, WT recovery speed increases.

Ryoko Shinonome (Mystery Files)

## Mystery Files Navigation

*For the main page regarding this character, see: Ryoko Shinonome.*

Ryoko Shinonome comes from the future, the destroyed world of 2064. Ever since the battle in 2064, her memories have been getting clouded. As her feelings towards Tetsuya Ida fuel her desire for revenge, she tenaciously seeks the culprit behind the incident. Unless she regularly takes her medication, she suffers an intense headache and amnesia.

(Many of the first year students will call her Shinonome-senpai. Senpai, defined as someone who preceded you in an organization, is used as an honorific here to show respect to a senior or superior. This is often used at schools or places of work.)

Due to The Sentinel Infection Incident, she ends up being force-shifted to Sector 4 and questioned by the police of 1984.

Whenever Shinonome sees Shu Amiguchi, she feels a strange surge of jealousy... or affection. She comes to realize that his eyes and behavior are just like Ida's.

Shinonome discovers Ida's true feelings and motive from watching surveillance footage in the underground facility in 2105. Realizing that Ida is attached only to Tomi Kisaragi and has no intention of saving Shinonome and the others, Shinonome finally loses her patience and ends up shooting and killing Ida.

Blinded by her feelings towards Ida, Shinonome falls for his trick and adds DD-426 to Ei Sekigahara's Sentinel. During the 2064 battle, DD-426 infects the Sentinel, and Juro Kurabe, Sekigahara, and Shinonome suffer brain damage. Shinonome went missing for some time after the force shift, losing memories to a point where she couldn't even remember her own name. The one thing she does remember is that Ida chose her for Sentinel No. 14. Morimura tries everything to get the password to decontaminate the Sentinels from her, but ends up failing.

When the kaiju appear in 1985, Shinonome actives Sentinel No. 14 with her memories of Ida on her mind.

When Ogata was seven years old, he was implanted with nanomachines by Morimura while he was training to fight the League of Darkness in an empty lot next to Tokisaka Shrine. This is what allowed them to prepare Sentinels.

Ogata was the original holder of the D-code key, but Natsuno Minami is the one who currently has it.

When the kaiju appear in 1985, Ogata swears to protect Tomi Kisaragi this time, and activates Sentinel No.10.

Nenji Ogata/Destruction

## Overview

Nenji Ogata pilots the 1st Generation Sentinel, Sentinel No. 10 in Destruction.

## Gameplay

> Well, Kisaragi.... I hope you were watching me out there!
>
> Ogata, after a successful mission.

Nenji Ogata is Sentinel No. 10's pilot, a 1st Generation Model. Like all 1st Generation models, his role is to take the fight to the kaiju right in their faces. What makes him stand out from Hijiyama and Sekigahara is his emphasis on chaining kills, a more potent Rush Attack, and a Hyper Condenser that improves his Demolisher Blade. The improved blade now hits in a wider area and has more attacks per swing at the cost of more EP. When paired with Limiter Removal and his brutal swinging techniques, he can continuously clear and attack an army of kauji before some of them can get an attack out. This also makes him an excellent candidate for All-In rush attacks where consistency and being with a team doesn't affect his damage output. The decreased cool down when hitting kaiju with Rush Attacks makes him good for baiting and killing Drum Mines.

Nenji has the highest speed but the lowest defense out of the three 1st Generation pilots. He has more HP than Sekigahara, while possessing more EP than Hijiyama. Seeing Kisaragi get hurt increases his attack power. Other than that, this rebellious youth is an uncomplicated pilot.

Pills

## Mystery Files Navigation

Medicine that Ms. Morimura administers to Ryoko Shinonome in the nurse's office, advising her to take it whenever she has severe headaches. Side effects include confusion and disruption of memory. Being large, they're tough pills to swallow.

The pill bottle has the label "Oral NM: CO204" printed on it. These pills inhibit the effect of DD-426, slowing down the resultant memory loss. They are composed of the same chemicals as the pills Ei Sekigahara received from the Tomi Kisaragi android in 2104, before he lost his memories.

Sekigahara, prior to losing his memories, delivered these pills to Morimura in order to save Juro Kurabe and Shinonome.

Nightmare

## Mystery Files Navigation

The dream Juro Kurabe sees of him killing everyone.

Seeing this dream makes Kurabe anxious that he might end up killing Megumi Yakushiji, so he starts to avoid her. In his dream, the man called Juro Izumi (who resembles Kurabe) claims that the nanomachines in their bodies are what's calling the Deimos here. Towards the end of the dream, Izumi gets shot by a woman who looks just like Iori Fuyusaka.

During this time, 426 believed that the only way to escape from this eternal loop was to kill all the compatible ones. However, 426 later discovers another escape method that utilizes the mechanics of the Deimos simulation game.

**Juro Izumi (Two Loops Ago)** (和泉 十郎 *Izumi Juro*), also known as **Prisoner 426**  or the **Other Juro Izumi** is a recurring antagonist in *13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim*.

## Profile

This incarnation of Juro Izumi originally came from two loops before the main timeline of the game. Having escaped the kaiju invasion with Chihiro Morimura by traveling back in time thanks to the sacrifice of Tsukasa Okino, Izumi became determined to change the future through risky and extreme measures.

### Personality

When he was at the same age as Juro Kurabe, he was more or less the same kind and benevolent individual who cares about his friends and his love interest, Morimura.

After escaping 16 years into the past and growing up in nearly the same amount of time, Izumi is calm and serious, yet can be aggressive and takes drastic measures if it means achieving his goal of preventing the kaiju invasion from occurring. Despite this, he is not completely cold-hearted as he hoped the deaths committed by his hands were not in vain and would even apologize to some of the sentinel pilots of the previous loop before taking their lives.

By the time he reappears in the main timeline, Izumi becomes a lot more methodical in his planning and avoids committing outright harm to the sentinel pilots he meets unless he is given no other option. He also chooses to use his words to reason and negotiate with individuals like Nenji Ogata.

## References

1. ↑ Since he was a first-year when the world ended 2 loops ago in 2105 (Year 17 of the loop), he must have been born between April 2089 (Year 1) and April 2090 (Year 2). Since it's unknown what month of the year each loop ended and started, the range of possible ages gets bigger, entering the final loop at age 30 - 34. The exact dates he was shot by Morimura and later reawekened as an android by Ida in the final loop are also unknown other than the years (Year 9 and Year 12 respectively). Knowing the Final Battle takes place on May 27th-28th (Year 17), his age comes up to 41 - 48 years old approximately.
2. ↑ He's been purely consciousness without a body of flesh since Ida reawakened him as an android in the Final Loop. Therefore, his physical appearance as adult Juro Izumi would be what he looked like before Morimura shot him at age 37 - 43.
Natsuno Minami/Destruction

## Overview

Natsuno Minami pilots the 3rd Generation Sentinel, Sentinel No. 17 in Destruction.

## Gameplay

> We can do this... Definitely!
>
> Natsuno moving into position

Natsuno foregoes immediate burst damage for a more slow burn, deliberate style of play. Warmup Run is her ace in the hole. After traveling a certain distance, even the basic starter weapons of a Generation 3 Sentinel can mop up or heartily soften armored kaiju. The ability boosts her attack so greatly, even her Heavy Railgun can outdamage Miura's superior Mega Railgun if given enough room to move. With an option to install a Forced Cooling Device, she can act and recover quickly after an attack. This makes for a deadly combination and can keep the enemies at bay while running and gunning or stalling with more frequent EMP attacks. In the event her Sentinel is destroyed, she can move considerably faster on foot. So much so that she can even outrun most homing missiles locked onto her.

Compared to Miura and Kisaragi, Natsuno is faster than Kisaragi but weaker than Miura. Having everyone be critically damaged, being near Hi-Quads and replaying cleared stages with an S-Rank will boost her attack power. Attacking first, then having Miura attack second helps boost his attack as well.

Her weaknesses is time, set up, a lack of immediate safe damage, and an odd skill set that's too situational in order to reliably get the most of. It will take some time to activate Warmup Run, even with an upgraded Actuator (60 and above). The lack of Super Large Missile can lead to awkward situations where hordes of kaiju snowball into an unstoppable wave. Caution is highly advised when she's the only Generation 3 during APSOS boss fights. Homing Missile, her only high damage, wide hitting single attack, is not very reliabe. Lastly, Gravity support from a Generation 4 or a Terminal Power is needed in order to efficiently kill a swarm of staggered kaiju with her railgun.

## Pilot Skills

* Level 5: **Sprinter** - Move speed increases when not piloting a Sentinel.
* Level 10: **Warmup Run** - Attack increases temporarily, proportional to distance moved.
* Level 15: **Research Notebook** - Increases all stats when on a stage already completed with S-rank.
* Level 20: **The War of the Worlds** - If Hi-Quad is nearby, Attack significantly increases.
* Level 25: **Gotta Stay Positive!** - The more Kaiju there are, the higher all stats increase.
* Level 30: **I Won't Give Up, BJ!**  - Significantly increases all stats when total HP of allies is 70% or below.

## Plot

*The Cuckoo's Fiancee* revolves around 2 teenagers who got switched soon after their birth. Hoping to keep both of their biological and adopted children, their parents decided to engage the boy and the girl.

### **Official Synopsis**

Nagi Umino was mistakenly switched at birth, and now attends a prestigious private high school. One day, he has a chance meeting with Erika Amano, an incredibly high society highschool girl who claims she's on the way to meet her fiancee. Erika then forces Nagi to be her fake boyfriend. Neither of them, at the time, understood the significance of their meeting for Erika was the girl Nagi was switched at birth with, and Nagi was Erika's soon-to-be fiancee!

## Chapters and Volumes

## Trivia

* Author's previous work, *Yamada and The Seven Witches*, was replaced by *5Toubun no Hanayome* in Weekly Shounen Magazine. Author's current work, *The Cuckoo's Fiancee*, is replacing 5*Toubun no Hanayome*'s slot in the magazine.
* To better sum up the story, because the parents who raised the wrong kid don't want the child to be out of their lives once they finally go back to their biological family, they arranged the marriage between their children just to keep them around. It works out, but to Western fans it's a ridiculous premise.

	+ 紫苑 - "aster", a genus of perennial flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.
	+ 詩音 - "poetry, poem" (詩) (**shi**) and "sound" (音) (**on**).
* Shion's surname **Asuma** means "play" (遊) (**asu**) and "horse" (馬) (**ma**).

## Appearance

Yohei is a young father with blond hair with shaven sides and wears sunglasses.

## Etymology

* The name **Yohei** is written as 洋平 (Yo-hei) which has the kanji for ocean (Yo) 洋, going with the Umino's (海野) family theme of water (**Umino** pretty much means "Opened Sea").
	+ The kanji "平", if affixed, can mean "calm, peaceful, gentle" to fit with Yohei's lucky-go nature. The "calm and peaceful" is associated with Nagi's name (凪) which literally means "calm, lull".
5th Fowl

"**Are You Some Kind of Idiot!?**" is the fifth chapter of *The Cuckoo's Fiancee* manga series.

## Summary

One week before the aptitude test, Nagi is feeling unwell. Erika tries to nurse Nagi albeit in a playful and innocent way, consulting 'Google' for all her answers.

Nagi chases her away and Erika left for personal business. Nevertheless, after Nagi actually collapses, Erika nurses him back properly in time for the aptitude test. After the test result comes out, Nagi ranks first and is now ready to confess to Hiro.

## Chapter Notes

* Erika has a private tutor; she was struggling with Math B.[*page 2*]
* Nagi stated that there is one week left before his aptitude test; therefore, it is at least a week since Hiro's declaration  last chapter. [*page 2*]
* Erika owns a doctor suit. After the bizarre treatment, she prescribes Nagi with a stomach medicine to combat against his cold, which is how he figures out that she is playing around.[*page 6*]
* Erika has to go somewhere but instead nursed Nagi back to health after he collapsed. [*page 12*]
* Nagi sleeps in Erika's bed for the first time.[*page 13*]
* Hiro lives in a traditional style residence.[*page 17*]

## Quote

* *"If you keep pushing yourself like this.. There's no way you get the first place"* - Erika Amano[*page 13*]
* *"This is the first time I've ever seen someone.. work so hard for something. I thought it was really cool."* - Erika Amano[*page 14-15*]

## Trivia

* This is the first time Nagi actually ranks first among the second-year student. Previously, Nagi ranks first because Hiro is absent.
	+ The ranking this time is 'out of 234 students' compared to 242 and 243 in Chapter 4 and Chapter 1, respectively. This implies that the ranking is based on the number of students who take the aptitude test on that day, and not the total number of students. [*page 21*]
* There are at least 7 room heater in Amano Umino Residence.
* When the ranking came out, the glasses students called Nagi an *Icarus*, which connects to Hiro's nickname of *Sun Goddess* from the previous chapter.
	+ The Greek myth of Icarus is about a man who flew too close to the sun with the wings that he made out of feathers and wax only for it to melt and send him — as stated by the glasses students previously — "crash and burn" back to Earth. This chapter shatters their myth as Icarus (Nagi) reaches the sun (Hiro). [*page 19*]
