The Reflectors
Hinako Shirai
Hinako Shirai
Reflector Form
- Voiced by: Yūki Takada
Hinako Shirai is the main protagonist and a former, semi-famous ballet dancer. She sustained a knee injury and still suffers from its aftereffects, essentially being forced to quit. With losing her livelihood as a dancer, Hinako suffered from depression and couldn't attend school for several months.
Upon being able to attend the Hoshinomiya highschool, she meets Sanae Nishida and ends up transported into the Common, and turning into a Reflector. Yuzu and Lime Shijou serve as her guides into the finer aspects of being a Reflector and its duties in the Common.
She was initially hesitant to keep doing her Reflector duties, but chose to complete it when Lime told her there would be a reward. She will be granted one wish upon defeating the Sephira.
- Barrier Warrior: She can reflect attacks from bosses in cutscenes as a Reflector.
- Broken Ace: Was considered an Ace for ballet, but then her injury happened.
- Broken Bird: Her career-ending knee injury turned her bitterly pessimistic by the time she came back to school. The game's events help her slowly grow out of it however.
- Career-Ending Injury: Sustains a knee injury that keeps her from dancing.
- The Chosen One: Yuzu and Lime picked her to be a Reflector.
- Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Her Reflector outfit's accents are pink.
- Cool Sword: Her longsword is made out of blue crystal.
- Coup de Grâce Cutscene: Has a reflecting duel with the boss when their HP reaches zero.
- Cutscene Power to the Max: The above reflecting duel is an automatic cutscene.
- Dance Battler: Several of her artes involve dance and can give out buffs.
- David vs. Goliath: During the cutscene against Sephira, she is the small David.
- Deadpan Snarker: Mostly in her mind.
- Despair Event Horizon: The start of the game has her close to one because of the knee injury. She as good as admits to Sanae that she has been contemplating suicide because she felt useless without being able to dance.
- The Empath: She can find a person's Fragment as a Reflector and peer into their mind, allowing her to figure out their real feelings. The catch is that the person can be aware that Hinako is reading their thoughts.
- Empathic Healer: Hinako stabilizes Fragments by understanding what the person is feeling and managing to empathize with them. But if the person's feelings are too strong, they can overwhelm her.
- Friendless Background: She doesn't really bring it up or seem that hung up about it, but besides Sarasa (who is heavily implied to not be that close to her at least until the events of the game apart from being rivals studying in the same ballet school), Hinako doesn't seem to have much friends before meeting the Shijou sisters.
- Gratuitous French: The names of her skills contain the French names for the Western zodiac signs. Possibly a callback to her past as a classical ballerina, where French is commonly used.
- Heroic BSoD: The game begins with her just having gotten out of one as she spent months locked in her room and missing an entire school term due to the pre-game events. She has three more over the course of the game itself.
- Whenever her knee injury is brought up by other people except for herself and a few select friends, she goes into a small nervous breakdown until she calms down.
- She has another when Yuri explains that it's physically impossible for the Common to grant the wish of healing her leg in the real world. Up until then, that had been her entire motivation to fight as a Reflector.
- Almost suffers one from Yuzu's revelations and Lime confirming them. She fully breaks down when she learns that completing her mission as a Reflector means that Yuzu and Lime will disappear, and that Hinako won't remember that they ever existed.
- Heroes Prefer Swords: She fights with a longsword.
- In a Single Bound: Finds out that she can jump really high as a Reflector.
- Informed Flaw: Downplayed. The game makes repeated mention of Hinako's knee injury that is bad enough that she can only do minor exercise and always walks with a minor limp, yet she can run around the school just fine.
- Jack of All Stats: All of her stats are well-balanced between the Shijou sisters.
- Jumped at the Call: When she learned that she gets a wish granted for completing her mission, she was on board.
- Lethal Chef: While we don't really see the results, the Shijou sisters and Sanae's reactions to the dish Hinako attempted cooking all but say that the outcome didn't turn out pretty.
- Magical Eye: Her right eye becomes blue when she transforms into a Reflector.
- Nice Girl: Sarcastic thoughts and deadpan moments aside, Hinako cares a lot for the well-beings of her friends and would go out of her way to help a person in need, though she still needs to be pushed for her to go out and act. Combined with her ability to empathize, this is likely why she was chosen as a Reflector out of the many girls Yuzu and Lime could have picked out there instead.
- Only Sane Man: Poor Hinako has to deal with a lot of her new friends' quirks and eccentricities by the time she gets to know them better. Best seen around Shihori.
- Pink Heroine: She is the protagonist of the first entry of Blue Reflection., and her Reflector Form is primarily white with pink accents.
- Power Dyes Your Hair: As a Reflector, her hair lightens to a sandy blonde.
- The Power of Love: She uses the compassion and bonds with her friends to overpower Mao's malice (which is so exceedingly powerful as to be actually dangerous).
- Ring of Power: It allows her to transform into a Reflector.
- Sexy Backless Outfit: Her Reflector dress leaves most of her back free. Doubles as Impossibly Cool Clothes because there is nothing keeping the lower part of her leotard attached to her body aside from, ostensibly, magic.
- The Stoic: Not to Lime's extent but Hinako tends to be rather withdrawn, though she has moments of emotional outbursts every now and then.
- Sword Beam: Some of her skills have her pull one off.
- Training from Hell: Her ballet training videos taught her efficiency. When she makes Yuzu, Lime and Sarasa undergo one of them, all three are exhausted. She admits to only being able to do one of those a week, as it was otherwise too strenuous.
- Trauma Button: For her, it's bringing up her knee injury and rubbing in the fact that she can no longer do ballet to her face.
- Yank the Dog's Chain: When she learns that her original wish of healing her leg can't be granted. Subverted when her new wish to not forget Yuzu and Lime does come true.
Yuzuki Shijou
Yuzuki Shijou
Reflector Form
- Voiced by: Marika Kouno
One of the Shijou sisters, who mostly goes by the nickname of Yuzu. She and Lime suddenly appear next to Hinako on her first schoolday, revealing themselves to be Reflectors, too.
Yuzu is the livelier of the two and is often full of energy, viewing the world in a positive light.
- Calling Your Attacks: Does it the most as a Reflector.
- Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Her Reflector accents are indigo.

- Flower Motifs: Her attacks use flower species in their names.
- Genki Girl: Full off energy at all times!

Lime Shijou
Lime Shijou
Reflector Form
- Voiced by: Sawako Hata
One of the Shijou sisters. She and Yuzu suddenly appeared next to Hinako on her first schoolday, revealing themselves to be Reflectors, too.
Lime is more subdued than Yuzu and often borders on being stoic. Her mind is focused on their mission of obtaining Fragments to protect the world, leaving her to butt heads with Yuzu or Hinako, at times.
- Animal Motif: All of her skills have animal names in them.
- Berserk Button: Picking on Hinako. While Yuzu shares the same berserk button as her, Lime gets much, much angrier about it despite appearing calm and eerily subdued about it.
- Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Her Reflector accents are yellow that fades into green.
- Dead All Along: Like Yuzu, she was a test subject for experiments on the Common, but died in an accident a year ago. The Common resurrected her and Yuzu for a while, so they could find a Reflector to defend the planet.
- Edible Theme Naming: Hinako calls her and Yuzu the citrus sisters sometimes because of their names.
- Emotionless Girl: She rarely emotes in her facial expression or voice.

- Improbable Weapon User: Uses her Mr Bear as her main weapon.
- Offscreen Teleportation: Does it a few times.
- Pink Means Feminine: Her Reflector form wears pink ballet shoes.
- Sibling Yin-Yang: The stoic, borderline emotionless, and somewhat cold with hints of unscrupulousness sister to the cheefully energetic optimist that is Yuzu.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Lime will do whatever it takes to create strong Fragments, even if this means allowing students to be bullied. All for the sake of being better equipped against the Sephira.
Supporters
Sanae Nishida
- Voiced by: Sayaka Senbongi
A first-year and the first girl that Hinako sees go rampant. She was an avid fan of Hinako's and was excited to see that she was not only attending the same school as her, but is in the same class as well.

- Fangirl: She's an avid fan of Hinako, to the point where she got excited when she learned the latter is attending the same school and is in the same class as her.
- Feminine Women Can Cook: Her hobby is cooking.
- The Medic: Her support ability is healing the party. Since she comes up as often as the others, she can effectively be your medic throughout Sephira fights.
- Supreme Chef: As a member of the cooking club, her skills will not disappoint anyone.
- Word Salad Lyrics: Could probably summarize the lyrics she thought of during her rap battle with Hinako.
Kei Nariyama
- Voiced by: Sora Tokui
A first-year who loves making friends and playing sports. One of her goals at school is to make as many friends as possible, and she attempts to do that by showing off her athletic talents at an upcoming basketball tournament.
- The Ace: At basketball. She manages to win a school tournament by herself. Hinako and Rika came along effectively as moral support.
- Boyish Short Hair: She has wavy short hair.
- Cool Big Sis: Towards anyone.
- Genki Girl: Given her love of sports not surprising.
- Innocently Insensitive: While all she means is good, she can be a bit pushy with how forces her help even onto people who never asked for it and what she does with best intention is not really on point.
- Wide-Eyed Idealist: Her bonding questline involves Kei trying to round up the first years into a basketball team for a tournament, despite them being "convinced" by the seniors. She believes they'll eventually come around, but her patience does end up running dry towards the end.
Rin Sanada
- Voiced by: Haruka Ito
A first-year who plays tennis. She has a crush on another boy but she's afraid to confess. Hearing that Hinako, Yuzu, and Lime might be able to help, she approaches them for advice.
- Big Eater: She's often talking about snacking on something, despite claiming to be on a diet, and spends her weekends mostly checking out various eateries in town.
- Cannot Spit It Out: Her problem is that she can’t tell the boy she crushes that she loves him straight in the face, so much that she turns unstable from it.
Sarasa Morikawa
- Voiced by: Ai Kakuma
A first-year in the special class. Like Hinako, she's a talented ballet dancer and sees Hinako as a friendly rival. Upon hearing that Hinako quit ballet dancing, she vows to find a way to help her.
- Ballet: The rival ballerina to Hinako, she has the appropriate skills to call herself so.
- The Cameo: She appears in Hinako's Heartscape memories in Second Light.
- Fiery Redhead: She’s a sociable, determined girl with beautiful red hair.
- Friendly Rivalry: She does anything she can to help Hinako to overcome her injury and return to ballet because Hinako is the person she looks up to most.
- The Rival: Self-proclaimed one to Hinako in ballet. It's left ambiguous as to whether or not it was mutual on Hinako's end in the past however. This is deconstructed when she learns Hinako's knee injury prevents her from dancing, causing her to fear that she will have no clear goal to strive for without Hinako as a rival.
Shihori Sugamoto
- Voiced by: Mikako Komatsu
A first-year in Hinako's class. Shihori's hobby is in cosmetics and beauty, having been inspired by a fashion designer she met. However this has led to a lot of boys asking her out and with her ending up rejecting most of them. This doesn't go very well with other girls in the class who think she's using her beauty as a cruel means of crushing hopes.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: Like the rest of the characters Hinako befriends throughout the game, Shihori becomes attached to Hinako because of her unfailing kindness towards her as well as Hinako's role in helping her mend her issues when they first met. Unlike most of the girls Hinako befriended however, Shihori wants to take it a step further than just simple friendship.
- Clothing Switch: A Running Gag of sorts is that Shihori wants to swap underwear with Hinako. She eventually gets her chance.
- The Fashionista: She became interested in cosmetics and fashion after meeting a famous designer.
- Innocent Fanservice Girl: Doesn't see why it would be embarrassing to switch underwear in a hallway full of people when their school is an-all girls school anyway.
- So Beautiful, It's a Curse: A lot of boys like to ask her out. Shihori feels compelled to at least hang out with them as platonic friends, but the popularity is straining. It gets worse when other girls start gossiping about her due to jealousy.
- You Remind Me of X: She becomes interested in Hinako partly because the latter resembles the designer she met in her childhood. The designer turns out to be Hinako's aunt, Yoshiko.
Chihiro Inoue
- Voiced by: Ayaka Suwa
A first-year who's painfully shy. Chihiro finds herself in hot water with the class for being a suspect in a string of thefts.
- Caring Gardener: Takes up tending to the flowers around campus on Hinako's suggestion to get people to notice her, so Chihiro has something people can use to break the ice with.
- Girlish Pigtails: The most traditional kind of pigtails amongst the cast.
- It's All My Fault: Chihiro blames herself when someone else gets hurt, even if she had little (if any) to do with it
- The Medic: Is a much better healer than Sanae, reviving downed characters, restoring everyone to full HP, and a heal-over-time buff. However she comes up less frequently so it's best to save her until she's really needed.
- Nightmare Fetishist: During her theatre date, she considers a horror movie to be cute.
- Pink Means Feminine: Her hair, hair ties and sweater all have the adorable shades of pink.
- Rose-Haired Sweetie: She has pink hair and is very kindhearted, to the point where she is concerned for the bully trying to frame her.
- Shrinking Violet: Though she doesn't really want to be this and asks Hinako how she can be more outgoing.
Ako Ichinose
- Voiced by: Yumiri Hanamori
A first-year in the broadcasting club who wants to become a journalist. As her father is a famous singer, she feels ashamed her goals are different than what she might be expected to do.
- The Cameo: She can appear, unnamed, in Hinako's anonymous memories in Second Light.
- Joke and Receive: Introduces herself by asking if Hinako was a magical girl, to her surprise. Initially, it was her imagination until Hinako gives her a ring, when memories reveal her that the joke of her being a magical girl ended up being true.
- Genki Girl: She's energetic and talkative when she thinks she can get a scoop out of someone.
- Girlish Pigtails: Wears 2 braids with checkered ribbons.
- Gold Fever: What starts her workaholic issues. She later levels with Hinako and a friend when they had a falling out that the reason she slipped into this was because her family was poor until her dad became famous.
- Innocently Insensitive: In her pursuit of coin and juicy infos, she often causes lots of trouble for others, but she never do it with bad intention.
- Intrepid Reporter: Wants to be one as a career, but is starting off already in school.
- Playful Cat Smile: Has a mild one to emphasize her Genki Girl personality.
- Workaholic: Starts to become a problem when she wants to make videos for her fans over taking care of herself.
Fumio Taya
- Voiced by: Nao Shiraki
A first-year talented pianist. Her grandmother taught her at an early age, making her desperate at times to find a way to make her proud. With a recital fast approaching and unable to accept anything she composes, she decides to go on a "Death March" as her father (a software developer) sometimes goes on to get work done.
- Elegant Classical Musician: She’s a pianist gifted with absolute pitch and trained from young age.
- Genius Ditz: Incredible at playing the piano, but tends to do things like "Death Marches" to practice.
- Hypocritical Humor: During one of her dates, she chides Hinako for Thinking Out Loud, despite having a habit of doing the same.
- Thinking Out Loud: Has a tendency to speak her thoughts, to the point where any other person would go "Did I Just Say That Out Loud?." She also doesn't acknowledge she does this, despite being told she's thinking out loud.
Yuri Saiki
- Voiced by: Ayane Sakura
A first-year scientific genius (with her own encyclopedia sized thesis to boot) who came to Hoshinomiya to study the space-time anomalies that were happening there.
- Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Has the flowing black locks and the traditional Hime Cut, but is nothing like the stereotype.
- Ditzy Genius: Despite being incredibly intelligent with the phenomenal IQ of 300, Yuri is socially awkward due to holing herself up to do research. Part of her Character Development is to break out of this shell.
- Emotionless Girl: Is worried that she's literally one, but Hinako points out she's not because she is worrying.
- Foil: To Fumiyo, arguably. Whereas Yuri has a flaw, but seemingly logical reasons for her ditziness, Fumiyo just does something because she thinks it sounded good at the time.
- Forgets to Eat: Her first real interaction with Hinako is calling her because Yuri was too busy with research and she needed food. When asked why she didn't just go out to buy some, Yuri admits she only buys things online, the site was down, and so has no idea how physical stores work.
- Hackette: Apparently can hack her way into anything, but it's mostly used for comedic relief.
- Idiot Savant: She admits she is diagnosed with savant syndrome.
- Improbable Weapon User: Somehow has an AR-15 style rifle to use in her support attacks.
- Mirror Character: In some ways, Yuri and Uta Komagawa are mirrors of each other where both girls lack the ability to relate and feel emotion in the way others do. But Yuri had her exceptional talents to fall back on and formed a friendship with Hinako whereas Uta resorted to self-destructive behaviors to feel something.
- Obfuscating Stupidity:Downplayed. She’s concealing her monstrous intelligence at school in order not to stand out, so everyone thinks she's just a bit more talented than others.
- Proper Tights with a Skirt: The only girl wearing black tights in the entire cast.
- When She Smiles: Shows it in her penultimate scene in Blue Reflection Ray, where she acknowledges Miyako as a friend.
Kaori Mitsui
- Voiced by: Ayaka Shimizu
A first-year who always seems to be glued to her phone. She used to run track with Rika, but for reasons she decided to quit.
- Can't Catch Up: The reason she quit track was that, while she started off much better than Rika, Rika eventually outclassed her and she couldn't bring herself to accept that. It really hits home when Rika "rescues" her, runs back to school, and Kaori can barely keep up.
- Cosplay Otaku Girl: Starts to become one at the end of her bonding quests.
- Gyaru Girl: Wears her uniform in Kogal style, minus the loose socks. Unlike what the outfit may suggest, she’s a completely good student.
- Heroic BSoD: Has a minor one upon finding out the upperclassmen she looked up to was leaving hidden cameras.
- Hidden Depths: Kaori may seem like someone who's either too distracted on her phone or her looks might suggest she's a delinquent, but in her free time (if she's not glued to her phone), she babysits children and even sees the more as friends. Even when a couple of school girls tease her and a boy for cosplaying, she's more upset they picked on the boy than her.
- Improbable Weapon User: Kicks a can at the enemy for her support attack.
- Otaku: Not only is she always playing some game on her phone, but she loves to purchase merchandise related to said games.
- Phoneaholic Teenager: She plays a lot of cellphone games.
- Those Two Girls: Started off this way with Rika, but they went off in their separate paths.
Rika Yoshimura
- Voiced by: Ai Kayano
A first year who's in the school's track and field team. According to almost anyone who knows anything about Rika, she's pretty average in just about everything, much to her chagrin. Used to run track with Kaori and wants her to come back.
- Despair Event Horizon: Tired of perceiving herself as ridiculously average and unable to improve her performance, she sinks into this. It can be inferred she would've committed suicide if Hinako and a teammate hadn't intervened.
- Heroic BSoD: Has a minor one upon finding out the upperclassmen she looked up to was leaving hidden cameras.
- I Just Want to Be Normal: Moreso of what her peers think. Rika's in track because she wants to be, not because she's expected to, much to her teammates' envy.
- I Just Want to Be Special: She just wants to do anything that'll make her stand out.
- Ridiculously Average Guy: Rika's self-proclaimed defining trait. It's grated her so much that she freaks out every time she hears the word "normal." It gets even more ridiculous at anything she enjoys; everyone else either thinks it's "average" or "normal"
- Those Two Girls: Started off this way with Kaori, but they went off in their separate paths.
Mao Ninagawa
- Voiced by: Yumi Uchiyama
A first-year in the special class who is a famous actress.
- The Ace: At acting. Not only on-stage but off-stage as well.
- Alpha Bitch: Mao shows off her true colors during the first reading of The Little Mermaid screenplay by showing that she knows a lot of her classmate's dark secrets and is willing to use these as blackmail.
- Alpha Strike: Summons a squad of planes to attack the boss. How they're even moving on a Time Stands Still plane is anyone's guess, though they could be unmanned.
- Big Bad Wannabe: Mao is responsible for a huge amount of mundane drama happening around Hinako at school, in part due to having a personal grudge on her. In a typical high school drama, she would most likely be the Big Bad. However, she is absolutely nothing compared to the Sephirot.
- Broken Bird: Her parents did anything they could to get Mao in lead roles. One incident involved humiliating Mao's friend who was competing just to get her to step down. Upon her parents splitting up for being investigated, they were squabbling over who gets custody of Mao (who in turn will let them live comfortably). Mao's classmates then started shunning her thinking she was a fraud this whole time.
- Card-Carrying Villain: Played for Drama: Mao actively chooses to be malicious and cruel to others because she believes Humans Are Bastards and thus everyone is rotten. She does on some level see it as Necessarily Evil, however.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Mao's parents saw her as nothing more than a hen that lays golden eggs, and did anything they could to make sure she gets lead roles. When they divorced for being investigated, they bicked over who will get custody of Mao (and thus be able to live comfortably). Mao's classmates started shunning her, wrongly thinking her to be a fraud when it was actually her parents who were responsible.
- Enemy Mine: Sure, she may hate Hinako with every fiber of her being, but between her and the Sephirot destroying the school, she'll take Hinako.
- Foil: To Hinako. Both want to help people, but where Hinako does so by way of empathy and understanding, Mao does so through assertiveness and being Cruel to Be Kind. Though some of her other methods are questionable. Hinako even muses that she very well could have been just like Mao had things gone differently.
- Humans Are Bastards: Due to her experiences with her parents who used her for her own ambitions and her "friends" who abandoned her the moment bad rumors spread about her, Mao is very cynical about others. This ties into the Necessarily Evil way she resolves conflicts, as shown by how she tries to manage people's vices to limit their damage rather than try to help them overcome these vices. She takes offense when Hinako undoes the status quo that she maintained among the festival committee's delinquents and looks down on the latter's more idealistic methods.
- Kick the Dog: Constantly pushing Hinako's Trauma Button in different and very underhanded ways throughout the story. The first time by telling a couple of bullies about Hinako's accident (something she never told anyone outside Sanae, Sarasa, and the Shijou sisters) so they could bring it up and terrorize her further with that knowledge, and the second time by completely changing The Little Mermaid's script's ending to hammer in the fact that Hinako's knee will never heal and therefore, no longer do ballet.
- Lovable Alpha Bitch: Hinako comes to realize Mao isn't completely a bitch, just that she has her methods that Hinako doesn't agree with.
- The Power of Hate: Her sheer malice is so powerful that her going rampent drags others into it with her and makes her Fragment actually dangerous for the girls to even be near. Note, this makes her more dangerous that the literal demons in the Common, who can only eject them from the Common. Hinako is able to defeat it with The Power of Love however. After she joins the heroes, she's able to use it to harm a Sephirot.
- Quit Your Whining: Delivers one to Hinako on the final encounter with the invading Sephira.
- Then Let Me Be Evil: She used to be a good person who wanted to pursue her acting career honestly, but when her parents ruined her reputation with their dishonest methods and caused everyone to unfairly blame her, she becomes a bitter and ruthless Alpha Bitch. Downplayed in that she still wants to do good for her school, but doesn't bother with nice methods unless it's pragmatic.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Downplayed. She's still a Jerkass towards Hinako after joining as a supporter, but she's more willing to help the latter even outside of fighting the Sephirot, as shown when she allows Hinako to take the lead role in the play, albeit with coaching. She's also willing to hang out with Hinako after school, even if she's still caustic in their conversations.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Ironically, Mao is able to open up to Hinako in a Brutally Honest way because the latter knows her true nature, giving them a strange bond of grudging respect.
Sephirot
The main antagonists of the game. Each is an Eldritch Abomination that seeks to end the world and destroy humanity. They do so by target the Singularities where the Reflectors are able manifest their powers. One Singularity happens to be the Hoshinomya High School, which Hinako strives to protect. In General
Tropes applied to all Sephirot
- Battle Royale Game: In-Universe. The Sephirot were not always fighting Reflectors but rather fought each other and still are. The winner happens to be able to remake the world as it sees fit. Presumably, the unseen ones fell in battle this way, if not against the Reflectors guarding the other Singularities.
- Big Bad Ensemble: They are the main threats that Hinako and the others have to face to save the world.
- Eldritch Abomination: The Sephirot are god-like beings, not even remotely humanoid and capable of remaking the world In Their Own Image if they're the last Sephira standing. The only Sephira who's remotely comprehensible by humans is Daath, and that's likely because they're created in its image.
- Elite Four: The four Sephirot faced by the Reflectors form this dynamic, but the final chapter reveals the surprise appearance of a fifth one: Daath. In the Tree of Life, Da'at represents the unified state of the 10 Sephirot and isn't considered one itself.
- The Ghost: Only five of the Sephirot have been shown: Yesod, Cochma, Tiphereth, Netzach, and Daath. Considering the number of nodes in the Kabbalah, the ones not seen are: Keter, Binah, Gevurah, Hesed, Hod, and Malkhut.
- In Their Own Image: The reward for the Sephira who wins the battle royale. Daath is responsible for creating humanity and made the Reflector system to stay winning.
- Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: Named after the actual Sephira on the Kabbalah or Jewish Tree of Life.
- Non-Malicious Monster: It's noted the Shepirot don't so much have anything against humanity, so much as they all have their own idea for what the world should be like. Unfortunately for humanity, those ideas likely don't include them or would be detramental for them with the sole exception of Daath.
- Resurrective Immortality: It's implied that the Sephirot can never truly be destroyed, and will eventually resurrect to resume their conflict some day far in the future.
Yesod
Yesod
First Sephira
The first of the Sephirot to appear at the high school.- Eye Beams: Its main face fires these when its hands are not covering it.
- Knight of Cerebus: At first, the game looked like a standard Magical Girl game with Hinako making friends and solving their problems at increasing complexity. Then Yesod comes in as the first Sephira to appear, taking a turn where not just the Reflectors but the school itself is involved in the conflict, with them and their supporters the only defense against them.
- Leitmotif: The Toshitake mix.
Cochma
Cochma
Second Sephira
The second Sephira to appear, resembling a land battleship with a smoothbore cannon for its face.- Leitmotif: The TIGAR mix.
- Military Mashup Machine: The best way to describe the Sephira. It has a half-track base for propulsion, six artillery cannons akin to a multi-barrel self-propelled artillery gun on the sides, multiple machine guns all over its body, and its front face has a large smoothbore cannon akin to a tank destroyer.
- Sapient Tank: More like half-track and tank destroyer combined with several artillery guns yet still a living creature, shown with a face at the front and a large smoothbore cannon for its mouth.
- Smoke Out: One of its abilities avoid the Reflectors’ attacks.
Tiphereth
Tiphereth
Third Sephira
A flying mechanical Sephira that resembles a biblically accurate angel.- Angelic Abomination: Shaped like an actual Cherub or Seraph from the old biblical texts.
- Leitmotif: The binGe mix.
Netzach
Netzach
Fourth Sephira
A flying Sephira resembling a knight with a jousting lance.- Knight of Cerebus: More so than Yesod. Tanks everything the Reflectors throw at it and nearly kills them with One-Hit Kill attacks. It takes a Mid-Season Upgrade to stop it. Also this for the wider series as it's a Hero Killer in Blue Reflection Ray that defeated Reflectors Momo and Mio, establishing the Darker and Edgier tone of the show and the fallout from their loss.
- Leitmotif: The DNF FW15C mix.
- Legacy Boss Battle: In Atelier Lydie and Suelle, Netzach is the main boss of the DLC area Blue Sentiment Land.
SPOILER
Daath
- Assimilation Plot: It aims to unify all of humanity as one, Evangelion style, in order to protect them from the other Sephirot due to fearing their bonds have become weak.
- Final Boss: The last Sephira fought in the entire game.
- Leitmotif: The Sayonara mix.
- Voice of the Legion: Alternates between feminine and masculine voices with an echo effect, fitting its symbolic embodiment of humanity unified as one.
