Grizzly Flutes

**Grizzly Flutes** are dangerous mounts found in the Piccolo Woods of the Woodwind State. They can usually be found in the day out wandering between the trees on the ground, and in the night inside of the many caves dotted about. If approached, or attacked at range, while they are roaming the forest, they will almost immediately charge at the player, growling and grunting. If the player drops food while they are being chased, this will distract them, unless this was triggered via attack, in which it will not and they will continue to pursue the player. At night, they can be approached without agro, however, if the player uses a musical attack, or simply attacks them directly, the Grizzle Flute will become agroed towards them.

When agroed, they will continue to deal severe damage to the player and their mount at close range until either the player dies, or the Grizzly Flute's health reaches below 10%, at which point they will run away.

Grizzly Flutes are unable to be tamed in the wild and must be found in stables.

## Appearance

Grizzly Flutes for the most part resemble normal grizzly bears. However, they possess similar patterning to Bonoboes. Grizzly Flutes also have 2 large flute pipes emerging from their back, which Maestro sits between. The roar of a Grizzly Flute sounds like a choir of bass flutes.

## Musician's Bestiary

The following text is an excerpt from the Musician's Bestiary:

## History

Grizzly Flutes used to be common mounts used by the Woodwind military, since they were deemed as immensely tough and vicious. This is reflected in Grizzly Flutes having the best ratio between speed and HP out of any mount in the game.

Bell Kingdom

The **Bell Kingdom** is a kingdom within Orchestria, home to the Bell people. It branched out from the Percussion Kingdom to the far west for a more quiet life.

## Inhabitants

Life within the kingdom has been peaceful most of the time since its settlement. Several districts surround the Royal Residence which resides in the center of the kingdom. The more wealthy districts are located at the bottom half to the south while the more common once are near the ocean side including the local Harbor for oversea trading. As for the inhabitants, the population mainly consists of pure-blooded Bell people, however merchants from other lands are accepted to stay under certain rules.

The Royal family has specialized in healing and purification magic for centuries. Princess Anabelle, the most recent and future ruler of the Bell Kingdom, inherited her bloodline abilities from her ancestors as expected but still requires time to understand and use her true powers.

The Royal Guard on the other hand is the main force providing peace and safety for the kingdom. Known for their versatility in weapon arts, high stamina and in rare cases superhuman strength it is to no surprise that the Bell Kingdom has remained unharmed for many years. Despite their rather minimal military power the royal guard pose quite a strong force should they ever head out to war in an emergency.

## History

Many centuries ago, while the Percussion Kingdom was at war with the String Kingdom, a small faction of Bell people led by their respective leader escaped to to the far west. Despite being born with unique physical and magical attributes which were fit for war, they sought out a more moderate life. Eventually the Bell people settled down near a riverside which was connected to the ocean and decided to build their new home there, eventually becoming the Bell Kingdom.

As of the events which happen during Project Bell it is said that it has been attacked by a vicious Tuba Dragon and it threatened to wipe out the royal family within. Drastic measurements had to be made which is why the king gathered a group of highly trained guards led by Commander Dulcibelle to escort his daughter Princess Anabelle to a secret hideout. While his daughter would be escorted away he and the rest of the royal guard would defend their kingdom from the Tuba dragon.

Keyboard Sentinel

* **Main Page**
* Gameplay
* Dialogue
**Keyboard Sentinel** is a guardian of the Synthesizer Network. Keyboard Sentinel is first discovered in a farm ran by Guitarmers Frank and Steve in the southern area of the String Kingdom.

## Appearance

Keyboard Sentinel's torso resembles a large amp speaker with a golden disc where the logo would normally be. Connected on either side are a pair of upper arms that resemble microphones with golden heads and switches, adding up to 4 total arms. At the end of the bottom two arms are these 2 half keyboards with 3 claws erupting form where each half ends. At the end of the upper arms are a pair of long spindly spider like arms with 4-pronged claws at the end of them. For legs, they resemble a stack of smaller amp speakers with golden speakers on them.

When performing musical attacks, Keyboard Sentinel retracts the claws from its lower arms into its forearms and combines them together at the wrist. They then use their 2 upper arms to play on the keyboard formed by this action.

## Personality

Keyboard Sentinel is easily the kindest and also the most intellectually challenged Synthesizer Sentinel out of the entire bunch. Keyboard Sentinel's dialogue is usually only limited to but a few words at a time. Originally when they first awoke they were a scared rampaging monster, believing everyone was trying to turn them off again, however, thanks to the kindness and understanding of Guitarmer Steve, Keyboard Sentinel was able to learn to calm down... mostly.

Keyboard Sentinel is closest of friends with Keytar Sentinel, mostly because they are wholesomely envious of them.

When they first see Maestro, out of fear they believe, yet again, that they are coming to turn them off, causing the fight to commence.

Much like many of the other Synthesizer Sentinels, Keyboard Sentinel is commanded by the Auxiliary Whip, a long black whip weapon with a short metal spike on the end of it. As long as the player has the item in their inventory, the Keyboard Sentinel will remain in the party.

## History

Keyboard Sentinel is the first Synthesizer sentinel to be invented by the Keyboard Kingdom in ancient times. Because of this, they were easily the most experimented on and prototyped with, leading them to have massive anxiety, which wasn't helped by The Great Deletion.

In present times, the Keyboard people resurrected all Synthesizers, hoping to use them as a weapon against the Brass Empire once more. Keyboard Sentinel first awoke in the same area as Subwoofer Sentinel, however, they were able to escape, unlike Subwoofer Sentinel. On the run, they fled as far away as they could, ending up in a small farm in the southern section of the String Kingdom. There, the Guitarmers that ran the farm granted them shelter and kindness, and Keyboard Sentinel soon enough became happy with this life.
The Slashed One/Gameplay

* Main Page
* **Gameplay**
* Dialogue

**The Slashed One** is a boss in *Tuba Warriors*.

He can be unlocked when the skull of the unknown assailant is given to him. He will then bash his head with his arm-drumsticks. He moves with maddened, erratic and jerky movements and proceeds to attack the player.

He is a tank, able to take a beating but also deal damage in the process.
The Saxophone Agreement

Following the Flugelhorn Mines collapse of 1S 73, the Brass Kingdom was desperate for new miners, after losing so many people. And so, they struck an agreement with the Woodwind Kingdom. This agreement eventually became known by historians as The Saxophone Agreement.

The Saxophone Agreement stated that Woodwind people will work the mines for the Brass Kingdom and, in exchange, the Brass Kingdom will give the Woodwind Kingdom a cut of the mineral product. Many historians believe this to be the reason why saxophones, despite being from the woodwind kingdom, wield brass, hence the name.
DJ Deck Sentinel

* **Main Page**
* Gameplay
* Dialogue

**DJ Deck Sentinel** is a guardian of the Synthesizer Network. DJ Deck Sentinel is first discovered in a secret area of the Flugelhorn Mines in the Brass Kingdom.

## Appearance

DJ Deck Sentinel is seemingly covered in bright green metal plating. Scattered about its body are different sliders, dials, speakers, and records. In place of hands, DJ Deck Sentinel has one large record that they use to slash their enemies. They can also shoot CDs from their arms out of small slots.

DJ Deck Sentinel's overall design appears to be in reference to a ninja.

## Personality

DJ Deck Sentinel, above all else, values musical combative skill, believing that only the non-synths who can prove themselves to be stronger than every Synthesizer Sentinel deserve their respect.

DJ Deck Sentinel is close friends with Soundboard Sentinel especially, over the Sentinels.

Much like many of the other Synthesizer Sentinels, DJ Deck Sentinel is commanded by the Auxiliary Whip, a long black whip weapon with a short metal spike on the end of it. However, unlike the others, DJ Deck Sentinel will only remain in the party so long as at least there is one other Synthesizer Sentinel in there with them.

## History

DJ Deck Sentinel is one of many Synthesizer sentinels invented by the Keyboard Kingdom in ancient times. Originally when DJ Deck Sentinel was first designed, they resembled something closer to a gramophone. Just after The Great Deletion, DJ Deck Sentinel, and their partner Soundboard Sentinel, were captured by the Brass Kingdom in hopes that they could understand how to replicate their innerworkings. However, after years and years of no progress, the project was eventually scrapped.

Centuries later, an explorer in the Brass Kingdom had uncovered the ancient catacombs housing the Sentinels, and, after word spread around, a new project was born; Project Remix. Headed by Tuba Scientist, the project lead to the rejuvenation of these Sentinels, eventually turning them both into what they are today.

However, the Brass Kingdom had one major flaw. They couldn't turn them on. No matter what they did they couldn't get them to work, so yet again, the project was scrapped. Then, just years later, in present times, the Keyboard people resurrected all Synthesizers, hoping to use them as a weapon against the Brass Empire once more. Upon their revivals, Soundboard Sentinel fled to the Percussion Kingdom, while DJ Deck Sentinel sought to lay low and wait for the others to awaken so that they may all join once more and reawaken the Vocaloid.
The League of High Council Defense

The League of High Council Defense was a percussion alliance during the League War that believed that the Percussion Kingdom should invest power into the monarchy and the Percussion High Council. The League's land was mostly in the east of the Percussion Kingdom and during its existence in constant conflict with The League of Monarchical Empowerment.
Lake Euphonium

Lake Euphonium is an early-game area found in the Brass Kingdom. It's main feature is Baritone Bridge, a large brass bridge that extends across the entire lake.

## Geography

Lake Euphonium is found directly east of Soprano Steppes, and is surrounded by several small groves of trees. The region around the lake is mostly hilly, but the northern side of the lake leads into forests that eventually cross into Violin-Brass Disputed Territory.

### Baritone Bridge

Baritone Bridge is the sole feature of Lake Euphonium, and contains one of the earliest boss battles in the game. The bridge itself contains a path with a sheet music-styled pattern, and features several horns and trumpets on the sides of the bridge.

## History

In the events of Tuba Warriors, the player will come across Legendary Tuba Knight and a small squad of Tuba Infantry fighting Oboe Knight and several rebel Clarimancers.

Shizuka Tatenashi

**Shizuka Tatenashi** is an original character in Angel Beats! A Step Closer, serving as Otonashi's boss when he worked for the XTE Medical Center. It is presumed that the Afterlife Battlefront was able to persuade Tatenashi into officially pushing Otonashi's resignation despite her protests.

## Appearance

Shizuka Tatenashi has multiple sets of appearances in A Step Closer.

Her distinguishing features is that she is a beautiful woman with waist-length black hair, often held up with a clip.

While working in the hospital, she is seen wearing a white medical coat and light blue scrubs.

## Personality

Shizuka has a strict personality when it comes to a professional work environment, but she is seen to empathize with her employees, most notably Otonashi. However, she uses other's situations, regardless of their feelings, to her advantage. This is seen in Chapter 2 when she uses Hatsune's death as a way to bring Otonashi back to work, which only worked against her.

Even with her personality, she still cares for her employees and sees herself personally responsible for them.
Satsuki Akiyama/Relationships

## Top Brass

### Yuzuru Otonashi

Officially meeting in chapter 11, her official comment to Otonashi was that he was, "cute." To Otonashi, she seemed to be a bright and go-happy female who occasionally stepped out of bounds.

Although initially helping him out following the meeting with the Yakuza, Otonashi's view on Akiyama changed as she pulled him towards her to hold a close conversation with him in a urgent/worried tone. Since the bright and go-happy female personality of Akiyama disappeared, Otonashi holds somewhat of a fear due to her unknown capabilities along with a lack of understanding to her true personality and intentions.

### Yuri Nakamura

While the exact relationship is not fully described, Akiyama claims to have talked to Yuri about the latest operation.

## The Guild

### Genji Furukawa

Akiyama has a close relationship with Genji as well as Takashi, as they often work together as a team. While Genji never goes hands on with her, he voices his displeasure from her flirting with Otonashi.

### Takashi Tsujihara

Holding the same close relationship as Genji, they often get into physical scuffles which outright turns into close quarters combat. As it is done often, they both are renowned for their hand-to-hand combat skills.

She often berates Takashi for being a, "hardass", due to him speaking with harsh words or unnnecessary nicknames.
Fruit Clowns

Fruit clowns thrive in well-lit areas, and as being made of plants, they are a non-flesh type clown.they arent that long lived, but are a delightful addition to the home.

## Diet

They produce their own sugars, so just as long as they are watered and kept in sunlight they will be healthy as can be! a little vinegar or lemon juice here and there can keep them fresh if they're looking a little down :)

## Housing

they do best in well-cleaned environments such as kitchens, though are known to be happiest in greenhouses, and free range in orchards and fields as long as they have proper shelter from the elements and predators.

## Temperament

they can get a little intense in their pranks, often squirting lemon juice in one's eyes, but the really mean no harm. just keep them away from the knives and they'll be just fine!

Cookie Clicker

The first version of Cookie Clicker was developed in a single evening by Julian Thiennot, also known as Ortiel. The original game attracted around 50,000 players within the first few hours, and after a month the number of people playing numbered over 200,000 players. Since then, Ortiel has updated the game with many new features, such as new buildings, new game mechanics, and the rebirth system.
Shiori Sekine/Relationships

## Relationships

### Masami Iwasawa

Sekine's views on Iwasawa aligns mostly with everyone: that she's a cool beauty who deserves something genuine.

Since Iwasawa doesn't have much to speak about other than her life and music, she finds it difficult to start conversations with her that don't lie on the basis of music. When Iwasawa herself began to talk about topics that didn't fall under music, Sekine was insanely shocked alongside the rest of Girls Dead Monster. She initially thought some type of anomaly was affecting Iwasawa's life. Enlisting Irie, she began her private investigation on Iwasawa and the underlying cause of this development.

Quickly, Sekine realized the anomaly itself in Chapter 5, when Iwasawa spoke up about wanting to hear Otonashi's story.

### Hisako

While Sekine doesn't make comparisons between Iwasawa and Hisako, she sees Hisako as Iwasawa's partner in crime, often relaying information to both her and Irie. Hisako on occasion has to correct Sekine for her behavior, especially when it involves mischief or picking on Irie.

Hisako resorts to violence when correcting Sekine, slapping or kicking her depending on her mood and the severity of Sekine's actions.

### Miyuki Irie

With Irie as her best friend, they usually conduct their daily life together. On occasion, Sekine treats Irie like a little kid, often embarassing her and putting her in uncomfortable situations. While it may go as far as borderline bullying, Sekine truly cares for Irie's wellbeing. She expresses her care through light-hearted moments such as practical jokes, metaphors, and constant hugging.

Sekine's nature of mischief usually drags Miyuki alongside her, often getting both of them in trouble.
Pegacussions

* **Main Page**
* Gameplay

**Pegacussions** are a common horse found throughout Percussion Kingdom

## Appearance

They resemble a winged horse, the wings of the steed are made from various Idiophones such as the Marimba or Xylophones, their manes have little drumsticks. Despite having wings, they do not fly since they are too heavy. As they run, they will beat their wings and create sound as they do. Their hooves give off a sound like a beating drum as they run, earning the nick name of "The Thunder Horse". Their kick is one of the strongest of any steed in Orchestria.

## Musician's Bestiary

The following text is an excerpt from the Musician's Bestiary:

## History

Used mostly by warriors of the Kingdom, rather than civilians or the wealthy, the horses are strong and intimidating to beyond. Since they are mostly a war horse, there is very little history of use in general labor and the Steeds have a reputation as a choice for any adventurer. They have rivaled the Trombolina in warfare capablities.
Igarashi

*This article is dedicated to the fan-made continuation of Angel Beats, A Step Closer. For the **official page of Igarashi,** click here.*

## Miscellaneous

### Debut

Chapter 10 (unofficially)
Chapter 12 (physical appearance)

**Igarashi** (五十嵐 *Igarashi*) is a character in Angel Beats! A Step Closer who survived the initial train crash with his friend, Yuzuru Otonashi.

## Appearance

Igarashi has multiple sets of appearances in A Step Closer.

He is a brown-haired male with average looks. In his official appearance in the anime and visual novel, he is seen wearing a traditional black school uniform. When he suffered an injury, Otonashi treated him, wrapping a green cloth around his head.

In everyday clothing, he wears a white polo and blue jeans.

For his coffee shop job, he wears a green apron and wears a black hat with the logo of his shop.

## Personality

Igarashi is a friendly person who supports his friends. In perilious situations, he often makes decisions that may cost him, which is seen when he is offering water and food to Otonashi. While potentially vulnerable to bouts of anger, he tends to calm himself down but holds great contempt for those who cause problems for others.

He maintains a centrist view, trying to account for everything and listening to both sides before forming an opinion. However, he exploits the opportunity to repeatedly blame someone for wrongdoing if the opportunity presents itself, though this is most commonly seen with family members and close friends.

## Trivia

* Igarashi's phone was a gift from Otonashi. Following the events of A Step Closer, Otonashi failed to maintain contact with him.
Noda

## Organization(s)

### Affiliation(s)

Afterlife High School (formerly)
Afterlife Battlefront (current)

## Miscellaneous

### Debut

Chapter 4 (unofficially)
 Chapter 5 (physical appearance)

**Noda** (野田, *Noda*) is a character in Angel Beats! A Step Closer and part of the Afterlife Battlefront Top Brass, often helping as a technician with the Battlefront's computer systems alongside Takeyama. Initially known for his infatuation with the Battlefront's leader, Yuri Nakamura, he had since developed a grudge against her for using him.

## Appearance

Noda has multiple sets of appearances in A Step Closer.

In his Afterlife Battlefront civilian uniform, he wears the standard white long-sleeved polo shirt under a sandy brown coat and black slacks. The sandy brown coat holds a velcro Afterlife Battlefront patch on the left shoulder.

### Combat Gear

While it isn't explicitly stated that Noda wears a certain type of combat clothing or gear, it is best assumed that he's operating alongside the rest of the top brass.

#### Headgear

It is currently unknown whether Noda prefers to wear certain types of headgear.

#### Plate Carrier

It is currently unknown whether Noda prefers to wear certain types of plate carriers.

#### Battle Belt

It is currently unknown whether Noda prefers to wear certain types of battle belts.

#### Weapons

As a halberd is impractical for close quarters combat in the real world, Noda has had a change of heart to ranged weapons. Previously discovering his pistol in the afterlife, the Stechkin APS was prone to failure, he switched over to the battlefront standard sidearm, the Glock 19. It has now become his most favored sidearm. However, his favored primary weapon isn't explicitly stated.

## Personality

While previously known for his irrational hatred and general unlikable behavior, Noda has since changed his outlook toward people. He maintains a way looser animosity toward Otonashi. Following his eventual realization that Yuri often just used his infatuation as a tool, he has since developed hatred for her. He still follows orders, but is noticeably more mute when she is around.

Noda is more calm and collected, although gives into stressful situations and has still fits of anger. His newfound friendship with Takeyama gave him some room to conform to a sense of normalcy. He actively watches for when he gets angry or stressed, although it has since become a heavy burden on his shoulders, causing him to berate himself often.

Ayane Sarashiki

**Ayane Sarashiki** (*Sarashiki Ayane)* is an original character in Angel Beats! A Step Closer, functioning as a Research and Development Technician in The Guild as well as Otonashi's personal advisor.

## Appearance

Ayane Sarashiki has multiple sets of appearances in A Step Closer.

Her distinguishing features is that she has fair skin, light orange hair that is almost always seen with the loose side bun and peach-reddish eyes.

In her Afterlife Battlefront civilian uniform, she typically wears the standard uniform for girls which is a sailor fuku uniform that has a blue collar, skirt and a dark pink ribbon with knee-high socks and black shoes. There is an Afterlife Battlefront patch on the left side on the uniform, to which she usually removes whenever she's out in public.

In the Guild, she wears the standard guild uniform but keeps her hair up normally.

In casual clothing, Ayane wears a bergundy shirt, a light green jacket, and jeans. The jacket has traditional two pockets on the front close to the bottom and two other pockets on the chest area. She typically leaves the jacket unzipped.

### Combat Gear

#### Plate Carrier

It is currently unknown if Ayane prefers a certain type of plate carrier.

#### Battle Belt

#### Weapons

It is currently unknown if Ayane prefers certain types of firearm.

## Personality

Ayane is a cheerful, outgoing, spontaneous, and extremely passionate girl; even when she's sad or upset she always has a smile on her face. To the contrary of her outgoing personality, her spontaneous outburts are a possible indication that she has had communication problems before. This was proven true in Chapter 9 when she overwhelms Otonashi. Although unsaid, she always wants to fit in, to the point where disagreeing with friends can bring her anxiety. She is usually very apologetic of her actions, even if they are very minor or not remotely her fault.

In reality, she is much smarter than she lets on, and rarely shows her sly and calculating personality to others with the exception of Chaa, Hinata, and Otonashi.

## Operations/Deployments

## Trivia

* Ayane's hairstyle is primarily inspired by My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU's Yui Yuigahama.

#### Headgear

Similar to Otonashi, the helmet he wears is a EXFIL Ballistic SL by Team Wendy in all black and is pre-configured to hold communication items such as a microphone. For night time operations and guild defense, he attaches a rhino mount that holds a PVS-14 night vision goggle. Often times, he goes without a helmet and doesn't wear any form of headgear or covers.

#### Plate Carrier

The carrier he wears is a black CAGE Plate Carrier that only has three magazine pouches at the front.

#### Battle Belt

It is unknown what type of battlebelt Takashi wears on his person. However, he does carry extra magazine pouches and his radio on his belt so it is best assumed that it is similar quality to other belts.

#### Weapons

Ordered by Chaa, he carries the battlefront's standard M4 Block II preconfigured with an IR laser, flashlight, vertical grip, and a Trijicon ACOG optic. For his sidearm, he carries a Glock 17 with a SureFire flashlight.

## Personality

Takashi has a cool, but demeaning and strict personality. When he isn't conversing with others, his personality changes to the strict leader even though he doesn't function as one. This often causes rife amongst some of the Guild security members but Chaa claims that his personality and his role keeps a team together when there are inner-conflicts.

Operation Breaking Even

**Criminal Organization:**
Unknown Leader

**OPFOR:**
Unknown Criminal Organization

**Criminal Organization/Xeron LLC:**
- Unknown amount of guards

**Criminal Organization/Xeron LLC:**
- Three guards KIA
- Breach in data servers

**Law Enforcement**
- Obtained photos of Otonashi and Shiina

**Operation 'Breaking Even'** is an operation conducted by the Afterlife Battlefront against an unknown criminal organization. Originally meant to be a single man operation, Shiina convinced Yuri to include Otonashi into the operation in order for him to gain experience.

## Purpose

The primary purpose of the operation was to establish an online link to the criminal organization's server, allowing Takeyama to conduct research, locate weaknesses, and gather information. The nature of the operation was meant to be done with no immediate detection.

It can be speculated that Shiina has other intentions in mind when bringing Otonashi into the operation, as she has always operated alone despite having many of the various battlefront members willing to participate with her. However, her actual intentions are unknown.

## Participants

### Afterlife Battlefront

* Top Brass
	+ Eri Shiina (observation, direct action)
	+ Yuzuru Otonashi (observation, direct action)
	+ Takeyama (monitoring)

## Resources

The resources for this particular operation were by all means none that were extensive. To allow ease of access into the building, both Otonashi and Shiina were ordered to travel light. Intelligence conducted indicated that the physical server locations were located in the upper floors, and entering the very first floor was a no-go unless they wanted to immediately catch attention and involve unwanted parties. Otonashi and Shiina were able to access the building next to their original target, requiring the usage of Shiina's harness and grappling hooks.

Even though they were meant to travel light, Otonashi brought plates rated for rifle rounds, significantly increasing his weight versus soft plates. Shiina hadn't brought anything except her harness, knives, and lockpicking set.

On the other end, Takeyama maintained eyes and ears through cameras outside the assigned building and monitoring law enforcement chatter.
Special Assault Team

**The Special Assault Teams** (特殊急襲部隊, *Tokushu Kyūshū Butai*) are police tactical units of the Japanese Police. They are a national-level counter-terrorist asset that cooperates with the anti-riot officers.

## Members

### Administration

* Commission General
* Deputy Commissioner General
* Senior Commissioner

## Equipment

Following the recent modernization of Law Enforcement across Japan, the Special Assault Teams directives have changed, resulting in different types of equipment being issued.

### Primary

* Heckler & Koch
	+ MP5A5
	+ MP5SD6
	+ MP5K

### Secondary

* Glock
	+ Glock 17
	+ Glock 19
	+ Glock 34
	+ Glock 26

## Events of A Step Closer

Immediately in response to the Tokyo Metropolitan PD Shooting, members of the Special Assault Team were apart of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department initially attempted to handle the assault, but due to the overwhelming nature of the attackers and combination of reports from other officers, they instead focused on evacuating the building while serving as a line of defense until the majority of personnel were safely away from the assault. While no injuries were sustained during the evacuation, members of the Special Assault Team began to prepare for a counter assault at an off-site location with assistance from the JGSDF.

After a week of negeotiations and investigations, the Special Assault Team alongside supporting JGSDF units were given the go-ahead to retake the portions of the police department that were occupied by the suspected Yakuza members, sustaining multiple injuries but nonetheless were able to kill all twelve attackers.
Fujimaki/Plot

## Plot

### Chapter 4

He was unofficially introduced by Yuri Nakamura and was also among the battlefront members when Otonashi came to make his decision about rejoining the battlefront.

### Chapter 5

He was part of the group that went out to eat in celebration of Otonashi's return. During their dinner, he asks Otonashi a question relating to his ability to becoming a doctor.

At the end of the night, he leaves with Takamatsu, Oyama, and Noda.
Law Enforcement

**Law Enforcement** are a constituted body of persons empowered by a state, with the aim to enforce the law, to ensure the safety, health and possessions of citizens, and to prevent crime and civil disorder. Their lawful powers include arrest and the use of force legitimized by the state via the monopoly on violence. The term is most commonly associated with the police forces of a sovereign state that are authorized to exercise the police power of that state within a defined legal or territorial area of responsibility. Police forces are often defined as being separate from the military and other organizations involved in the defense of the state against foreign aggressors; however, gendarmerie are military units charged with civil policing. Police forces are usually public sector services, funded through taxes.

## Events of A Step Closer

Mentioned in Chapter 9, law enforcement all across Japan has seen rapid modernization following the Tokyo Metropolitan PD Shooting. With faster and more fuel efficient cars, better equipment, and increased quality of training, crime rate has seen itself slowly decay, but was met with backlash from various groups across the country, specifically those who focus on anti-war and anti-gun. As more and more newly trained officers come to the streets and current officers retrain to fit the current requirements, the police have become extremely proactive in crime investigations. This has forced many criminal groups and organizations to revamp their methods of criminal activities.

While there hasn't been any direct action conducted by law enforcement directly against the members, it is clear to the Afterlife Battlefront that they will be a hassle to deal with if local law enforcement authorities catch hold of their activities.

Law enforcement in terms of the story can mean many different types of local to federal agencies and/or departments and may be used interchangeably.

Takeyama, given his knowledge in computer hacking, is responsible for monitoring local law enforcement radio chatter as well as locating records regarding any battlefront members.
Afterlife Battlefront Executive Order

An afterlife battlefront executive order is a forever-standing order issued by high-ranking members of the Afterlife Battlefront. These orders can be issued to certain subdivisions of the battlefront and are put into effect when they are issued. The only members that can issue executive orders are Yuri Nakamura, Hideki Hinata, Chaa, and Masami Iwasawa.

Only Yuri and Hinata are able to issue an executive order to the entire battlefront, while Chaa and Iwasawa may only issue executive orders to their own individual subdivisions they command.

## Notable Executive Orders

## Appearance

Shido is a skinny person with short, black-brownish hair with light red eyes.

## Personality

Takeyama/Relationships

## Top Brass

### Yuzuru Otonashi

While Takeyama and Otonashi don't have a direct relationship, it was known that Takeyama was reluctant to reveal Otonashi's details to Yuri. While the exact source of reluctancy is unknown, it is most likely his views of Otonashi coincided with Shiina's, to which she believed that he shouldn't return to the battlefront under the grounds that he's done more than enough for the group.
Operation Tornado

**Operation 'Tornado'** is an operation typically assigned to the subdivision of the battlefront, Girls Dead Monster, tasked with performing a distraction usually in the form of performances. Due to their increasing popularity, Operation Tornado has been used with lenient discretion.

## Purpose

The purpose of Operation 'Tornado' is to distract a targeted group of individuals, usually done in conjunction with other operations.

Prior to the events of Angel Beats! A Step Closer, Operation 'Tornado' was done in order to retrieve meal tickets to feed the Afterlife Battlefront before they were reincarnated.

Currently, the operation is conducted in order to put law enforcement and civilian attention away from a certain area in order for the battlefront, typically the Top Brass, to conduct their own operation. However it may also be hosted on it's own in order to gather followers for Girls Dead Monster.

## Participants

### Afterlife Battlefront

* Girls Dead Monster
	+ Masami Iwasawa
	+ Hisako
	+ Shiori Sekine
	+ Miyuki Irie
* Top Brass\*
* The Guild
	+ Logistic Subdivision
		- Unnamed members
	+ Security Subdivision
		- Unnamed members

```
* = The Top Brass may be directly involved with Operation Tornado depending on the type of operation conducted alongside it.

```

## Cost Effectiveness

When Operation Tornado is declared, a lot of things need to be taken into account.

Some of the important factors when determining cost effectiveness are but not limited to:

* Target Demographic
* Environment in question (urban, rural, suburbs)
* Location of performance
* Size of performance
* Weather
* Logistics (moving amps, setting up stage)
* Local government permits
* Time

As a result of needing to factor in costs compared to the Afterlife, Operation Tornado is not typically authorized unless they perform in a urban environment where they can gather the most people, thus grabbing the attention of local law enforcement agencies.
