*Heads up, human!
**This section spoils the HELL out of games in the*** **Gal\*Gun *series.*** *Don't say I didn't warn ya!*

### Gal\*Gun (Returns)

Aoi collides into Tenzou in her rush to arrive at class in time. After class, she intends to perform for a concert on the school roof. She is unaffected by the Popul-aura, and her Heart Guardian blocks off the effects of the Doki Doki Field. Thinking that the reason is due to Aoi being too focused on her band's concert, Tenzou decides to assist her band after school.

Tenzou meets Aoi in her classroom and helps her write lyrics for her new love song in the school's music room.

After finish writing the new song Aoi takes Tenzou to the rooftop to show him the stage for the concert, only to be shocked upon seeing her stage being taken apart and her band's concert being canceled by the Disciplinary Committee due to her forgetting to get proper authorization. Realizing her mistake, she is angry that they are taking her stage apart without warning. Tenzou calms her down and tells her to go to the gymnasium and inform everyone that the concert isn’t canceled while he deals with everything else.

Tenzou, worried about Aoi, goes to the gym to check on her and helps her out. As Aoi thanks Tenzou for helping out, she has a flashback about her past and realized something before heading off.

Back at her classroom she tells Tenzou about her past, how her family was poor and couldn’t afford to buy her a guitar till one day a boy about her age saw her in the shop and bugged the owner to lower the price. However she never got the boy’s name due to him begging so hard that he slipped and hit his head so hard he was hospitalized.

Returning to the rooftop, Aoi is amazed that Tenzou was able to get everything ready. After the concert is over Tenzou confesses his feelings to Aoi even though there is already a guy she likes. However, to his surprise, the guy she likes is him and gets flushed. Aoi's response will be based on want ending you get.

##### True Ending

Calming down, Aoi thanks Tenzou for helping her out in the past to his confusion. Aoi explained that she realized that he was the same boy that begged the shop owner to lower the price for her guitar back at the gymnasium. She never got to thank him properly or ask for his name because he was taken to the hospital due to his head injuries. Hearing this, Tenzou remembers everything as his memory from that day is returning. Aoi becomes Tenzou’s girlfriend knowing that he loves her too.

##### Good Ending

Calming down, Aoi is surprised that Tenzou also likes her and apologized for not telling him sooner back at the gymnasium and what happened back then. However, this only confuses Tenzou. Seeing that Tenzou really can’t remember anything, she is just happy that he loves her and sings for him.

##### Bad Ending

Aoi is happy that Tenzou does love her. However, she doesn’t think she is ready for romance yet, so she decides to focus on rock music for the time being. This leaves Tenzou and Patako wallowing in despair over the rejection.

### Gal\*Gun (Returns): Doki Doki Carnival

If Aoi is not Tenzou's girlfriend, she comes along with the other heroines and his girlfriend to confront him about the rumors of him bullying the girls on the academy campus.

If Aoi is Tenzou's girlfriend, she and the other heroines confront Tenzou in regards to the previously mentioned rumors. Aoi becomes insecure about her feminine features but remembers that he loves her for who she is and demands an answer. Tenzou is unable to explain due to pressing circumstances, and thus Patako activates the DDF on everyone present. Afterwards, Aoi starts crying as she doesn’t know what to do. Seeing his girlfriend crying in front of him. Tenzou still can't explain his actions no matter what, promising to never make her cry again after everything is over. Not really convinced, Aoi agrees to let this slide but threatens to punch him in the face if this happens again.

### Gal\*Gun: Double Peace

Aoi runs the Academy Store and the Lost & Found, and raises funds for LOVEHEARTS's tour on the side. She is unaffected by Houdai's Popul-aura, and thus is someone Houdai can visit without worry. Being unable to see Ekoro, Aoi is slightly surprised that Houdai seems to be talking to himself, but recalls that there was an upperclassman she really admires that used to talk to himself a lot as well.

#### Aoi Route:

Every time Houdai makes a donation to LOVEHEARTS's tour, Aoi will tell him about how the she and the band is doing. After the last donation, Aoi invites Houdai to come with the band to America as their new manager.

Houdai can choose to became their manager and abandon his goal of finding love. According to Houdai, every other girl hates him due to the after-effect of his Popul-aura, but mysteriously, the members of LOVEHEARTS don't hate him at all. The story ends with Aoi dedicating a performance to Houdai.

#### Demon Route:

Aoi is in possession of Kurona's demon spear after a certain shrine maiden turned it in to the Lost & Found. However, she warns Houdai that this shrine maiden commented on the spear's dark aura.

### Gal Guardians: Demon Purge

After the Academy fused with the demon realm, Aoi Uno ends up fusing with a demon, resulting in the Fiend Al-Gi'tar. She is the first fused heroine freed, and thus possesses the least knowledge of the circumstances leading to the incident. She only remembers doing band practice before everything went dark, and she does not recall how she obtained the Anti-Demon Grenade and Paper Crane subweapons she gives to Shinobu and Maya. She seems to be barely bothered by the current situation, having more concern about attending her part-time job. Indeed, after Al-Gi'tar's defeat, she runs the Academy Stores present in every area prior to a boss room, dispensing health, mana, and Pride upon visits.

(Disclaimer: Machine TL)

**Ito**: She was also decided upon easily, so the guitar was more difficult to work with than ...... the guitarist herself. Her hair, which looks like rabbit ears, was also present from the beginning for some reason.
**伊東**：彼女もあっさりと決まったので……本人よりもギターが苦労しましたね。ウサ耳っぽい髪の毛も、なぜか最初からついていました。

## Trivia

* Because of her appearance and potential ending in *Gal\*Gun: Double Peace*, Aoi is the only route from *Gal\*Gun* that cannot be canon.
	+ Since the other LOVEHEARTS members are present in *Gal\*Gun 2*, it is likely that the Aoi Route from *Gal\*Gun: Double Peace* is also noncanon.
	+ *Gal Guardians* seems to further confirm the above, as the events of Kaname's route are alluded to. Additionally, the game seems to follow the Shinobu or Sisters route from *Double Peace*.
* Aoi is mentioned in an optional conversation in *Azure Striker Gunvolt*, another series developed by Inti Creates. In this conversation, Aoi is a legendary rock star who had her big break before either Joule or Gunvolt were born.
* Despite her appearance, Aoi seems to possess a fearsome side, evidenced by Ayana Mikado, Madoka Tsukimiya, and Mizue Ichinoe developing a morbid fear of rabbit ears after her takeover of the Music Club.
	+ It is noted that Arisa Himeno did not develop a fear of her due to her absence during that event, and in fact wants to touch Aoi's "rabbit ears" one day.
* In-story, her "boss fight" is Tenzou cheering her on while she performs her concert, so she is the only heroine in the game that doesn’t engage in a physical fight.
