Party Members
Hakuowlo
Voiced by: Rikiya Koyama (Japanese), John Gremillion (English)
Initially the unnamed protagonist of the series, he is found gravely injured in the forest by Eruruu, a local of the area. Eruruu and her grandmother nurse him back to health over the following few days, but he is unable to remember his name or who he is. Even without a history, Hakuowlo becomes a well-respected member of the village community where he was found. He is given the name of Eruruu's and Aruruu's late father by their grandmother.
- The Ace: He's knowledgeable about farming and irrigation, simple metallurgy, logistics, strategy, diplomacy, and is a skilled fighter in personal combat. He's also humble and kind, leading him to get along very well with others. The one thing he doesn't seem good at is personal relationships.
- Affectionate Gesture to the Head: His favorite way of showing affection, especially to Eruruu and Aruruu.
- All Your Powers Combined: He combines the four elements into a single attack for his Final Strike.
- Ambiguous Situation: In contrast to the game where there is a clear contrast between Hakuowlo's and Uitsalnemetia's consciousness', at least at first, the anime makes it unclear just where the person ends and the deity begins, making them seem like the same being.
- Amnesiac Hero: Hakuowlo wakes up in the home of a strange girl who is treating his injuries after finding him collapsed in the forest. For some reason, she has a tail and animal ears, but acts confused when he asks about them. He's given the name Hakuowlo by her grandmother, who seems to view him the same as the original Hakuowlo, her son. He never remembers anything until it starts getting very late in the story, however, he has a variety of useful skills that instantly make him a leader figure among his friends.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Hakuowlo holds compassion for pretty much everyone whether ally or opponent but seeing Aruruu killed by Hauenkua in an Avu-Kamu causes him to transform into his Uitsalnemetia form and tear the mechs apart, almost killing Hauenkua. The flashback to a time prior to the events of the game when he was known as Iceman. Upon learning his lover and his child (in the game his child survived) were dissected by the scientists representing the remnants of the human race his anger caused him to curse them, fulfilling their wish to live forever by turning them into undying slime-like creatures.
- But Now I Must Go: In the end he chooses to be sealed away after having conquered his other half, but not before some tear-filled goodbyes from his former comrades.
- Butt-Monkey: If the situation isn't a large diplomatic event or the middle of a dark point in a war, Hakuowlo will generally be treated like crap. He'll even be dragged into situations completely against his will and then abandoned or threatened. Whenever someone does something wrong, he's usually the one to be punished for it.
- Combat Hand Fan: Hakuowlo fights using an iron fan. It's a real weapon, but it was often used a supplementary weapon used for its ability to cool off the warrior or signal to allies.
- Cool Mask: Due to his lost memories, he doesn't remember what the mask is nor why he cannot remove it. It remains on his face the entire game.
- Curiosity Killed the Cast: The earliest scene in the game is Hakuowlo going somewhere he really shouldn't have. The man who attacks him tells him he probably should have listened to the instructions to stay out. Hakuowlo blacks out and when he awakens he's already wearing his mask that came from the giant fossil. Of course, that awakening wasn't the beginning of the game either.
- Defeat Means Friendship: So long as he doesn't kill you.
- Flash Step: Near the end of the game Hakuowlo's real abilities are unlocked. He starts teleporting around the battlefield.
- Forgot the Call: Hakuowlo was pretty important before he lost his memory, though only a few people ever recognize him. Some of those who do also avoid letting him know who he is.
- Four-Star Badass: He always rides into battle himself, despite being the Supreme Commander of the armies he leads.
- The Good King: Once he becomes Emperor of Tuskur, everything he does is with the well-being of his citizens in mind. The nation prospers under his wisdom and the technologies he brings to his people.
- Identity Amnesia: After being found gravely wounded in the forest, he has no idea who he is. The emperor of Kucca Kecca claims that he is a villain of their nation, but he's wrong. He is in fact the Amnesiac God Uitsalnemetia. Well, technically, he's the host of its "body" half and in the end, he has to merge with his other half.
- I Was Never Here: Variation, but after the events in Na Tuunk he is told by Benawi that he definitely had a vacation for his own amusement and was absolutely not involving himself with the native affairs of a foreign nation.
- Jack of All Stats: Hakuowlo has moderate growth rates for all three of his stats. He does have a high number of potential attacks, though, and he's a required unit for every map except the last, so his stats will still end up very high.
- Last of His Kind: Hakuowlo is the last original human. As he also happens to be the host of a god, he's the very cause of the events which turned the remainder of humanity into slimes. After his initial release he proved interbreeding with the new demi-humans. Unfortunately this leads to his re-capture and upon learning his lover and (in the anime) child were dissected by the scientists representing the remnants of the human race his anger caused him to curse them, fulfilling their wish to live forever by turning them into undying slime-like creatures.
- Locked Out of the Loop: Over the course of the game, it seems a decent amount of the party figured out his true identity, including Ulthury, Karulau and possibly Eruruu, who at least know his true form is a giant magic monster. None of them want to tell him.
- Mask of Power: Copying his mask also appears to grant some degree of immortality and super strength. Worked well for the scientists until he turned them all into jelly. Not so much for the Shakukopolu.
- Mercy Rewarded: He spares the life of Mutikapa's cub even though the cub could grow up to be another Mutikapa. This overwhelmingly turns out to be the right move—in the anime this is how he wins over Aruruu's affection, and in the anime and game it results in Aruruu gaining a giant pet to help her "Daddy" with!
- Monster Progenitor: Maybe not monster, but he's the genetic basis for the Decoy's. On top of lacking their elemental weaknesses, the full magic of Uitsalnemetia is far beyond anything Decoy thaumaturgists could ever hope to pull off.
- Nice Guy: His kindness, compassion, selflessness, and bravery are his defining traits which makes him well-loved by his people of Tuskur.
- Not So Above It All: While he can have an air of seriousness about him most of the time, when he thinks no one is looking he can be quite the dork and be just as much a part of the insanity as everyone else.
- Not What It Looks Like: Hakuowlo learns that his status as an unmarried king surrounded by beautiful women along with the red light district he approved has given him quite the reputation as a playboy. In fairness the original release of the game on PC was very horny with Hakuowlo bedding most of the female cast at some point in explicit CG scenes. This was removed in the subsequent releases and completely in the anime leading to confusion about, for example, Kuon's origins. It should be acknowledged that in 2002 (when the first version of the game released) sex scenes were seen as necessary for a Visual Novel to succeed, an approach now somewhat outdated.
- Oblivious to Love: Oh, where to begin? This is just the tip of the iceberg:
- He fails to see why Eruruu gets angry at him whenever he talks about seeing other girls.
- Yuzuha tells him that her face feels hot and her heart races when he is near, and later she asks him to sleep with her so she can bear his child, and as an expression of love. He still doesn't get it. Oboro does accuse him of Selective Obliviousness, which he doesn't deny.
- He doesn't quite see why Karulau, a supposed mercenary sticks around him, even after she swore herself body and soul to him.
- Parental Substitute: Aruruu declares Hakuowlo to be her father. He goes along with it and generally spoils her rotten.
- Reincarnation: He actually isn't and it's never implied that he is, however, it's highly likely that part of the reason the villagers are so quick to trust him is due to the close resemblance he bears to the original highly respected Hakuowlo, Eruruu and Aruruu's father (he's even wearing their father's clothes since those were the only male clothes Tuskur had available). Teoro in particular seems to automatically treat him like this at first.
- Renaissance Man: Blacksmithing, chemistry, agriculture, tactics, statesmanship, politics, hand to hand combat, archaeology, hunting... Not much he can't do.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: After massacring the remainder of humanity the sane part of his mind asked his surrogate daughter to stop his rampage after nuking him from orbit fails to destroy him. She could only split him into two sides and let him rest.
- The Smart Guy: Hakuowlo is far from the strongest person in his group, but he's exceptionally skilled in all sorts of things from politics to chemistry to agriculture and can generally think his way through a problem.
- Smells Sexy: Both Yuzuha and Camyu are drawn to his smell. Yuzuha considers it one of his more attractive qualities, and for Camyu it triggers her Bloodlust.
- Spit Take: When Camyu and Aruruu play Hide and Seek, the latter hides inside Mukkuru's mouth. When Hakuowlo realizes where she was, tea spews everywhere.
- We Cannot Go On Without You: Along with Eruruu, the other priority target is Hakuowlo himself. If he dies, you lose the map.
- What's Up, King Dude?: Hakuowlo isn't big on formality, and most of his retainers are very open and casual with him. Sometimes too much so...
Eruruu
Voiced by: Ryōka Yuzuki (Japanese), Kira Vincent-Davis (English)
A herbalist and healer in training. She finds Hakuowlo unconscious in the woods while scrounging for herbs. Her name comes from a flower that exists only within the fiction of the story. Her and her sister, Aruruu were orphaned when their mother died giving birth to Aruruu, while their father died for unknown reasons. She lives with her grandmother as an apprentice.
- A-Cup Angst: When attempting to measure herself up to the other women around Hakuowlo, she gets depressed at her rather meager physique. Karulau attempts to console her by noting that while she may seem to have a more feminine body, it's actually full of muscle and hard to the touch while Eruruu at least is gentle and soft. Hakuowlo also tries to cheer her up, but she's just embarrassed that he saw her worrying about it.
- Actual Pacifist: Eruruu can only heal in combat.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Aruruu can make friends with Mukkuru, but Eruruu can terrify him into submission. She also has a bit of a nasty temper in general thanks to her jealous streak.
- Boobs-and-Butt Pose: In her updated art, as seen to the right.
- Cannot Spit It Out: Made all the more maddening in that they live in dangerous times and Hakuowlo's next moment alive could be his last... Then his time does run out.
- Can't Hold His Liquor: She is very poor when it comes to alcohol, even a small sip of sake will make her tipsy.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Eruruu's defining characteristic is her jealousy. She frequently gets angry at Hakuowlo for things that are completely out of his control.
- Country Mouse: She's just a poor village girl and likes it that way. She's very resistant to living a life of luxury with Nuwangi and never seems quite comfortable with palace life at any point in the story.
- Deal with the Devil: She made a deal with the good half of Uitsalnemetia to save Aruruu's life after she was fatally injured. The price was her soul, something she fulfills by serving Hakuowlo best she can even though he doesn't remember having made the deal.
- Dogged Nice Guy: Always supportive of Hakuowlo no matter how bad things get. Turns out there's a reason for that...
- Failed a Spot Check: Eruruu never noticed that her grandmother would sometimes leave in the middle of the night to go visit Yuzuha, so she's very worried when she finally catches on. Even Hakuowlo knew before her. She also fails to notice Aruruu walk in, talk to her, eat all the food she made and then wander off.
- Femininity Failure: She tries to act like a proper, calm lady in front of Hakuowlo at first, but eventually she just gives up and acts more like the country mouse she is when she realizes Hakuowlo both isn't buying it and doesn't really care anyway.
- Guy on Guy Is Hot: She's only barely hiding a broken heart when Hakuowlo is Mistaken for Gay, but she begins to warm up to the idea very quickly.
- Honorary Princess: As Hakuowlo's adopted sister she's considered a princess of Tuskur, though it doesn't seem to come with any real status.
- Like Parent, Like Spouse: It's implied that the protagonist Hakuowlo has a lot in common with her deceased father Hakuowlo both physically and personality-wise.
- Meaningful Name: She's named after one of two flowers in Utawarerumono's universe that always grow side-by-side.
- The Medic: She literally cannot do anything but heal others, since her "attack" is her healing. Even her "special technique" simply means she heals even more. She's also pretty squishy given that her defense is slow to level and she cannot target herself. The issue is mitigated somewhat by her not needing to raise attack much to maximize her healing, though.
- Tomboy: Eruruu tries to act all ladylike, but she's not very good at it. She's kind, but also temperamental and was raised in a village where she was expected to pull her own weight.
Oboro
Voiced by: Daisuke Kirii (Japanese), Chris Patton (English)
The young head of a small clan that lives deep in the forest near Yamayura, Oboro supported his clan by living as a brigand.
- Ambiguously Gay: His relationship with the twins is strongly implied to be sexual in nature, but there's actually no indication if it's romantic or even if he actually reciprocates their much less ambiguous feelings. Notably, he appears unmarried in the sequels.
- Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Oboro is an amazing swordsman and he knows it, which nearly gets him killed in his first hopeless fight against Benawi. He does get better over time.
- Butt-Monkey: If he appears in a non battle scene, something bad will happen to him at the end of it.
- Can't Hold His Liquor: He's really not good with drinking. If he does get drunk, expect things to go very poorly for him.
- Dual Wielding: His preferred fighting style. with a pair of swords.
- I Owe You My Life: He declares Hakuowlo his honorary brother for saving him from his doomed raid against Sasante, and is one of Hakuowlo's most trusted friends as a result.
- Idiot Hero: Oboro is very hot-headed and impulsive, which often leads to him picking fights with people that he really shouldn't.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Let's see... brash, abrasive, quick to anger, loud mouthed, itching for a fight eternally, yet equally eternally loyal, caring, brave, compassionate, and cares for the people dearly.
- Knight Templar Big Brother: Oboro is incredibly overprotective of Yuzuha, including attempting to kill Hakuowlo at one point when he points it out. Oboro even knows that he's right, but is too volatile to calm down and be reasonable.
- The Lancer: To Hakuowlo. Which is why Hakuowlo trusts Oboro to become Emperor in Hakuowlo's stead when Hakuowlo is sealed away at the end. Although Oboro ends up trying to learn more about the kingdom by traveling in it, temporarily leaving the position to Benawi.
- My Sister Is Off-Limits: Oboro is initially murderous towards Hakuowlo when it comes to his sister, but when Hakuowlo proves to be a natural leader and uninterested in her he lets it go. Eventually, Yuzuha tells Oboro that she wants to bear Hakuowlo's child, so Oboro has to try to convey that to Hakuowlo despite his overprotectiveness.
- Noble Fugitive: It's implied that Oboro and Yuzuha are the last surviving members of a destroyed house that had the family of the archer twins as their vassals. Yuzuha still keeps the speech patterns from back then while Oboro is a bandit.
Word of God confirms that he is a scion of the house that ruled Kenashikorupe before Inkalla's. - Rags to Royalty: He ends up the nominal leader of the country at the end of the game, though at the time of the game's epilogue he's on a journey to better himself before stepping up officially as the Emperor.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: He and Kurou butt heads constantly, but they do have a strange friendship between them. Even their co-op attack - a sign of trust and friendship - has them dissing one another.
Dorry & Guraa
Voiced by: Akeno Watanabe (Japanese), Brittney Karbowski (Doriy — both twins in the OVA), Nancy Novotny (series) (Guraa) (English)
Identical twins, these are Oboro's most devoted vassals. While they pale in importance to their master as the series goes on, they are still dauntless fighters.
- Ambiguous Gender: Dorry & Guraa are confirmed to be male in the game but are highly androgynous in both appearance and pronouns. Some fans still
refuse to accept them being boys. - Black Comedy Rape: In both the anime and the game, there is a scene where they ply Oboro with sake and then end up naked in bed together. And in the game, there's a second scene where Oboro passes out and they eagerly accept the task of dragging him back to his room.
- Bodyguard Crush: They're both pretty open about their love for Oboro, and clearly don't mind the thought of sharing him.
- Color-Coded Characters: Dorry - Blue. Guraa - Red. Surprisingly averts Red Oni, Blue Oni.
- Green-Eyed Monster: They certainly don't take kindly to some girls at a hostess club pouring sake for Oboro. To them, they are the only ones allowed to do it.
- Single-Minded Twins: They are often shown acting and speaking in unison.
Karulau
Voiced by: Atsuko Tanaka (Japanese), Shelley Calene-Black (English)
Before her home country of Na Tuunk was invaded by Shakukopolu, Karulau was a princess of the royal family. When young, she covered the escape for her brother Derihourai and their servant Katumau during the invasion. Karulau spent the remainder of her adolescent life up to the present day in captivity before eventually escaping, killing her captors aboard the transport ship she was on. She is found at the crash site of the vessel surrounded by the bodies of the crew.
- Abhorrent Admirer: In Suonkasu. He cultivated a garden full of her favorite flowers in the bodies of his enemies just for her. She is far from being impressed.
- Action Girl: Competes with Touka over being the main Action Girl of the series.
- The Alcoholic: It honestly seems that Karulau functions on sake alone. She becomes even more playful and will tease anyone in her range, and also flirt with Hakuowlo. Getting her to feel a buzz can take up to several barrels.
- Ambiguously Bi: While she's definitely interested in Hakuowlo, she can get pretty fliratous with Touka, though it's hard to tell how serious she is.
- Antiquated Linguistics: Karulau speaks in a proper and very refined manner no matter her mood. She is just as polite when she's enjoying sake or cleaving through soldiers. This is a hint of her past as a princess.
- BFS: A custom-built, blunt sword so heavy that even Kurou couldn't move the thing.
- Blood Knight: Karulau is a nakwan - a slave gladiator. She thinks nothing of killing when on the battlefield and relishes a good fight - provided that the enemy can put up an actual fight.
- Bodyguard Crush: It's no secret that she is attracted to Hakuowlo.
- Chained by Fashion: The collar around her neck that she kept from the slavers as a reminder to herself that even the strongest can be brought low. Additionally she takes it a step further by having a cell in the dungeon as her living quarters, denying being given a more proper room
- Charles Atlas Superpower: Considering it takes over five ordinary guys to carry the sword she hefts single-handedly without breaking a sweat, and the fact she's so stupidly overpowered she smashed a boulder with just one swing, she pretty much qualifies.
- Childhood Friends: Averted with Ulthury. When they were younger, they hated each other's guts and fought every time they saw each other. They are on good terms now and will share a drink with each other from time to time.
- Cruel to Be Kind: Realizing that Ulthury's come to love Fumirul too much to ever let go, Karulau demands Ulthury surrender the child, even if Karulau has to take her by force. She really does want to save her friend the heartbreak of parting, and she stops when it's clear that Ulthury's already in too deep.
- Did They or Didn't They?: Even the all-ages version has a few suspicious fade-to-blacks when a seductive Karulau's cornered Hakuowlo, though who knows what came after.
- Effortless Amazonian Lift: She can easily carry Hakuowlo around Bound and Gagged.
- Establishing Character Moment: Why is she the only survivor of the slave ship she was rescued from? Because she killed the other survivors for leaving the ones chained to the floor to drown to save their own hides.
- Force and Finesse: She's the bludgeoning force to Touka's finesse.
- The Gadfly: She naturally teases those she likes which causes Eruruu, Hakuowlo, and Touka no small amount of grief for various reasons. Being Hakuowlo's official bodyguard only gives her opportunities to tease them more.
- Glass Cannon: Moreso in the game as Karulau isn't the most durable unit and it's hard to raise her defense, but it costs only thirty points to raise her attack. In the anime, she's closer to a Lightning Bruiser, emphasis on 'bruiser', who is fast enough to compete against Touka.
- Groin Attack: Suonkasu tried to claim Karulau for his own. He's a eunuch now.
- Hard-Drinking Party Girl: When not fighting or sleeping, Karulau can usually be found guzzling some sort of alcohol.
- Hidden Depths: According to her story, she's a warrior who loves to fight. When not fighting, she's lazing around, drinking sake. That is all she wants to be known as but as we eventually find out, there's quite a bit more to Karulau than meets the eye.
- The Juggernaut: Who else can punch a mook's head clean off? Getting her to stop involves one of two things - running out of people to kill, or Hakuowlo telling her to stop. Even getting stabbed in both arms doesn't slow her down at all.
- I Was Just Passing Through: Karulau doesn't want to help the rebellion in Na Tuunk, no sir, Hakuowlo just keeps dragging her into things. Don't mind the part where she had to drug and kidnap him to make him come along.
- Lightning Bruiser: Her personalized sword is too heavy for even Kurou to lift with both arms, yet she can swing it about with just one. She's also fast enough to keep up with Touka in battle.
- The Mistress: She sleeps with Hakuowlo at least once and swears herself to him. Whether she continues to do so after that is ambiguous.
- Mook Horror Show: She puts on one nearly every time she fights with bodies flying everywhere
- Ms. Fanservice: Provides the most blatant instances when she disrobes on two occasions - both times with a smile.
- Muscle Angst: She mentions once that while she doesn't seem to be bulging with muscles, as a Giriyagina her body has been specialized towards battle since the day she was born and always will be. As such, it has no feminine softness, only hard muscle. How much it actually bothers her is hard to say given her perpetual calm and that she was trying to comfort Eruruu at the time.
- Only a Flesh Wound: Getting stabbed through both arms is little more than a minor annoyance to her.
- Only the Chosen May Wield: Her enormous, blunt greatsword. Not until late in the third game is another character able to use it properly - and it's definitely not the one you might expect. Nobody else can even lift it.
- Overly Long Name: Her full name is Karulawaturei, a former princess of Na Tuunk.
- Perpetual Smiler: She almost always has a calm smile, even when talking about how she murdered a bunch of injured slavers because they left their cargo to drown at the bottom of a ship. One of the few times it drops is when chewing out Derihourai for being a dick.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: When asking for Hakuowlo's help with Na Tuunk, Karulau puts on a formal dress and lets her hair down. Hakuowlo is stunned by how much of a change a simple dress could make.
- Stepford Smiler: She usually has a lazy smile on her face, but it doesn't always mask when she's angry or depressed.
- Super-Strength: Being a Giriyagina, Karulau has the strength of a dozen strong men. It makes it hard to use a regular sword properly, as her anime duel against Benawi can attest to. In terms of gameplay, she has very low upgrade costs when it comes to her attack compared to more balanced fighters like Touka and starts with a score of 38, which is very high that early.
- Sympathy for the Devil: Despite all he did to her and her people, she couldn't hate Suonkasu. She held him in her arms as he died, giving him the attention he always wanted in his last moments.
- That Man Is Dead: Her reaction when one of her faithful retainers recognizes her, much to his sadness. During the Na Tuunk arc where the cast intervenes in a civil war brewing in her home country, she often says, "You are mistaken. I am just a simple woman named Karulau," when they address her by her old name.
- The Tease: She teases everybody to a degree but keeps the actual flirting to Hakuowlo alone.
- Tranquil Fury: The more engraged she gets, the more gently she speaks. She'll declare your death in a sweet voice and tear you apart limb from limb with a calm smile.
- Undying Loyalty: In exchange for helping the rebellion in Na Tuunk, she swears eternal loyalty to Hakuowlo.
- Wolverine Claws: Karulau prefers to use the massive chunk of blunt metal she calls a sword, but she's also capable of causing her claws to extend outward so she can tear people apart with her bare hands.
Aruruu
Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro (Japanese), Sasha Paysinger (English)
Eruruu's younger sibling. Her name is also from a fictional flower, one which thrives in close proximity to the eruruu blossom, thus giving them the title of "sister flowers". Her personality is strongly antisocial towards strangers and requires some positive impact in order for a friendship to be fostered.
- Ambiguous Innocence: She's very cute and disarming, but she has absolutely no problem with her tiger eating people alive.
- Badass Adorable: She's an extremely cute little girl who rides a massive tiger she can command to maul you to death! And in the game later gets a tiny animal creature that can shoot lightning as the "finisher" to Aruruu's combo.
- Fluffy Tamer: Aruruu is a little girl with no physical or magical ability, but she DOES have a massive quasi-deity to ride around on. Later on characters call her a "Yamaa Mauna", which apparently means "Mother of the Forest" and describes someone who can communicate with and befriend beasts of all kinds.
- Friend to All Living Things: Aruruu doesn't get along with people, but she adopts what appears to be the child of a minor god in the form of a tiger as well as a rare ferrety creature with lightning powers. She can apparently communicate with them.
- The Gadfly: While she's kind to most people once they get on her good side, she's very often insulting or pranking Eruruu. This is played as just sibling squabbles and when it comes down to she does love her sister dearly.
- Gameplay and Story Integration: On any map with water she, or more specifically Mukkuru, will suffer a huge penalty to both defense stats in reference to the fact that his kin's armored fur becomes soft when wet.
- Glacier Waif: When riding her giant pet tiger, she functions as a defensive character. She herself may be a thin little girl, but the tiger's like a friggin' tank!
- Honorary Princess: She's one as Hakuowlo's surrogate daughter. Hakuowlo doesn't even remember her status until Touko points it out.
- Innocently Insensitive: Sometimes, like when she mentions that her pet tiger "feels sorry for" Eruruu since Eruruu has such small breasts.
- Manipulative Bastard: A fairly benign example, but for someone so young she sure is adept at manipulation and half-truths to get what she wants.
- Meaningful Name: She's named after one of two flowers in Utawarerumono's universe that always grow side-by-side.
- Resurrective Immortality: Due to her sister having made a Deal with the Devil to save her life she was brought back from death. And during the story the deal is still in effect making her simply revive upon being killed.
- Reverse Psychology: Aruruu points across the field and tells Nuwangi that Eruruu definitely isn't over there. Hakuowlo is briefly confused because she really isn't that way, but when Nuwangi 'cleverly discovers the lie' he figures out what she was doing. Nuwangi walks right into the manure spread over the field.
- Shrinking Violet: Aruruu is very shy until she gets to know you, after which she becomes very affectionate.
- Stone Wall: She has the easiest time building up defense in the game. She also later learns a passive ability that auto-heals her slightly every turn.
- Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She acts like this to anyone who first meets her...but do something she likes (such as eating honey with her in the game, or sparing Mutikapa's cub in the anime) and she'll open up and start talking.
- Talks to Squirrels: Aruruu can understand her tiger and the ferret critter's intentions.
- Trademark Favorite Food: She'll do just about anything for honey. She seems to enjoy eating honeycombs, bee larvae and all, as well. And in the game, if you too are willing to eat raw honey, larvae and all, you will instantly become friends with Aruruu, as both Hakuowlo and Camyu can attest.
- True Blue Femininity: Always seen in white and blue clothing.
Benawi
Voiced by: Daisuke Namikawa (Japanese), Vic Mignogna (English)
The original Samurai General of Kenashikorupe, a calm and collected warrior with considerable intelligence and a master of the halberd. Though initially an enemy towards Hakuowlo, his life is spared and he becomes Hakuowlo's general, serving him loyally and faithfully throughout the story.
- Frontline General: He's his army's leader and its greatest warrior.
- Honor Before Reason: He doesn't complain when he's imprisoned by his Bad Boss for losing a battle, and returns to his service without question for the final battle. He also insists on his boss performing a ritual suicide in the face of imminent defeat.
- My Master, Right or Wrong: He's aware of what a stupid jerkass the emperor is, but he swore his loyalty and he means to stick to it. In fact, in a twist on this trope, even killing the emperor was done out of blind loyalty — the emperor was about to face justice in the form of revolutionaries crucifying him, which is an extremely slow and painful way to die. Benawi spares the emperor that fate by killing him in a quick way, by stabbing him.
- Noble Top Enforcer: He was one for Inkalla, never committing any unnecessary cruelty, trying to steer Inkalla away from violence, and eventually telling his men to surrender the fight rather than die in a hopeless battle.
- Perpetual Frowner: His default expression is a somber look with a slight frown.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: He's blue to Kurou's red.
- Saved From Their Own Honor: He initially intended to follow Inkalla to the grave as his honor demands, but Hakuowlo convinces him to prioritize serving the people even though it means disgracing himself in the process.
- Seppuku: He acts as the second to the emperor after the war is lost. When Hakuowlo arrives, he also intends to kill himself but instead is pressed into service.
- The Stoic: It's hard to break his implacable demeanor, though he does show his emotions, if only slightly.
- Straight Man: He's always the serious one, and if he's involved in a comedy scene he'll be playing this role.
- White Stallion: He rides a unique white woptar into battle.
- World's Best Warrior: He's called "the best spearman in three countries" and never loses a duel across the story. He's only on the losing side of two conflicts: Hakuowlo's rebellion (where his heart really wasn't in it), and the initial Abh-Kamu assault (because no one knew how to deal with Abh-Kamu at the time).
- Worthy Opponent: He and Hakuowlo had a strong mutual respect back when he was still the Samurai General of Kenashikorupe.
- Would Not Hurt A Child: When Aruruu shows up on the battlefield riding a massive possibly divine tiger, he asks her to withdraw. When she doesn't, he begins aiming exclusively for the tiger. It really undercuts him trying to claim he's the one that burned the village Hakuowlo's group arrived in.
- You Will Be Spared: When he first encounters Oboro raiding the palace, he offers to let the obviously outmatched thief go. Insulted, Oboro fights him anyway, though Benawi still lets him leave with his life.
Kurou
Voiced by: Tsuyoshi Koyama (Japanese), Jason Douglas (English)
Benawi's closest friend and subordinate, a hotblooded brawler always eager for a good fight.
- Blood Knight: He is always up for a good fight and will generally accept any challenge just for the fun of it.
- Boisterous Bruiser: He's a large, muscular man who uses his size to brag and intimidate his opponents.
- A Day in the Limelight: After spending most of the story as Benawi's funny subordinate, he's the central character during the warehouse thief arc while Hakuowlo is away. He shows off a more philosophical side, a surprising interest in politics, talent in espionage, and is a surprisingly good beekeeper. His relationship with Kamuchataal provides the emotional heart of the arc.
- Hunk: Kurou's tall, buff, and ruggedly handsome.
- My Master, Right or Wrong: Follows Benawi's command with little question no matter what.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: While he does have an admittedly not undeserved reputation as a meat-headed Dumb Muscle, he's much more observant than he lets on. He was critical in the plan for cornering Kamuchataal and her lackeys.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Kurou is a Blood Knight who lives for the thrill of battle, so when he says he doesn't want to fight Kamuchataal it shows just how painful the situation is.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: He and Oboro become this eventually. They frequently insult and snipe at each other, but they're obviously close.
Touka
Voiced by: Kaya Miyake (Japanese), Sofia Mendez (series), Genevieve Simmons (OVA) (English)
A member of the Evenkuruga tribe, Touka is exceptionally skilled with a sword due to her heritage. Outside of battle, however, she's kind of an idiot.
- The Atoner: After Touka is captured and Kucca Kecca defeated, she tries to offer Hakuowlo her life. He sets her free instead, but she wants SOME form of punishment, so she swears herself to his service in atonement for killing dozens of his soldiers. If he hadn't agreed, she would have killed herself right then and there.
- Berserk Button: Don't touch her doll if you value your face intact.
- Bodyguard Crush: She appoints herself as Hakuowlo's bodyguard, which he secretly finds extremely annoying. She also falls in love with him, but more importantly her culture mandates that she bear his child by bringing the strength of a strong lord into the Evenkuruga bloodline.
- Born Unlucky: Her ditzyness and actually bad luck combine to make sure things rarely go right for Touka.
- Can't Hold His Liquor: Gets drunk very easily. Which is too bad when Karulau is around.
- Cuteness Proximity: Touka melts when Aruruu calls her "Touka-onee-chan".She's such a widdle cuuutie...!
- Force and Finesse: She's the precise finesse to Karulau's force.
- Genius Ditz: She's an excellent fighter. Too bad she tends to be rather ignorant about anything other than fighting or bodyguarding.
- Honor Before Reason: This isn't technically true...as reason never enters the atmosphere.
- Lady of War: Outwardly, she seems to be a graceful and feminine warrior. Talk to her for ten seconds and you'll see that she's actually a moron.
- Mighty Glacier: She has high all around stats and a tech meter that's maxed from the beginning. However, her hidden speed stat is oddly low, meaning she doesn't get to attack very often.
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: She shows up to defend the bridge linking the two halves of Kucca Kecca, but after being beaten she starts showing off and cuts through most of the cords herself. She nearly falls to her death as a result as well.
- Proud Warrior Race Guy: The Evenkuruga have similar status as fighters to the Giriyagina, but while the latter seem to be rather thuggish, the Evenkuruga are noted to be honorable warriors. Their beliefs aren't expanded on much, but one thing the women are supposed to do is bear the child of a strong and noble lord, should they swear their loyalty to one. The mother determines the race of children and the Evenkuruga wish to be as strong as possible.
- Stupid Good: Touka is too wrapped up with honor and righteousness to bother with asking questions like "Hey, what does this Rakshain dude actually look like?" Because he probably didn't wear an indestructible mask over most of his face.
- Unwanted Assistance: Touka's attempts to guard Hakuowlo are all incredibly annoying. She stares at him when he's trying to sleep, she follows him into the bath and bathroom, makes everything way too tense and tests his food for poison, which takes so long that the food is all gone by the time she declares it safe.
Ulthury
Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara (Japanese), Kelly Manison (English)
Princess of Onkamiyamukai, sent to the new-founded kingdom of Tuskur to act as its official mediator.
- Angelic Beauty: Her appearance invokes this. Hakuoro even elaborates how graceful, elegant and beautiful she appears.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Two words - gravity control. She doesn't seem to be a fighter at all (see below spoilers) but when she does, she is an extremely dangerous spellcaster who is used to battle.
- Childhood Friends: Averted with Karulau. When they were younger, they hated each other's guts and fought every time they saw each other. They are on good terms now and will share a drink with each other from time to time.
- Holy Halo: When using her more powerful magic she gains a halo above her head, now matching with the rest of her angelic appearence.
- Mama Bear: When it came time to give Fumirul back to her real parents, Ulthury very nearly came to blows with the rest of the party over it, refusing to give up "her" child. Fortunately, Hakuowlo accidentally invokes some divine power and snaps her out of it.
- Overrated and Underleveled: She's supposed to be incredibly powerful, but is actually mediocre at best. She isn't available often enough to build her stats up, but even if they were her attack and defense level slowly and start out low as well. It only costs 20 points to raise her magic defense, but magic defense isn't very useful.
- Parental Substitute: A young woman abandons a baby girl, Fumirul, to her, with a note explaining that the child's life is in danger if she stays with her mother. Ulthury decides to raise the baby herself, and starts viewing Fumirul as her own child. Which causes problems when Fumirul's parents come looking for their daughter back.
- Secret Secret-Keeper: She knew the truth about Hakuowlo's identity from fairly early on yet kept it from him. This is also the reason she was so quick to serve him despite her people's neutrality as she is a priestess of Uitsalnemetia.
- Sex for Solace: With Hakuowlo after Fumirul is taken from her.
- Winged Humanoid: Her entire race has wings and act as peacemakers amongst the other races.
Camyu
Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya (Japanese), Serena Varghese (English)
Ulthury's little sister, a childish girl who, uniquely amongst her people, has black wings.
- Bloodlust: She is frequently overcome by a strong craving for blood, usually by the full moon. It comes to a head when she ends up biting Aruruu, causing her to panic and run away.
- Dark Is Not Evil: She's heavily associated with darkness and can wield Black Magic. Evil spirits often gather around her as well. But she's a very sweet and nice girl who readily makes friends with anyone.
- Everyone's Baby Sister: Karulau calls her such to explain to Ulthury why the party intends to take her back from Dii's control.
- First Period Panic: After fatigue, stomach cramps, and intense thirst set up that she's caught some kind of disease, Camyu was just experiencing her first period. She's positively mortified that she started bleeding in front of Hakuowlo.
- Innocent Blue Eyes: She has rich blue eyes that highlight her innocent and honest nature. These are meant to contrast Mutsumi's red eyes.
- Lunacy: During each full-moon she is overcome by an overpowering Bloodlust.
- The Ojou: Being a princess of one of the Three Great Nations.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Camyu's eyes turn red when she starts drinking Hakuowlo's blood.
- Reincarnation: The royal blood in Camyu is very strong, making her a reincarnation of Mutsumi, Hakuowlo's cloned daughter from his days as the Iceman.
- Vampiric Draining: Due to her bloodline she has a strong lust for blood. She tries to offset this by drinking copious amounts of water instead, though with limited success.
- Winged Humanoid: She is an Onkamiyaryu, so has wings like the rest of her people. Hers are black instead of white.
Temporary Party Members
Teoro
Voiced by: Hiroaki Ishikawa (Japanese), Mike Vance (English)
Nicknamed "Pops", this burly, axe-wielding man is the good-hearted, braggadocious "headman" of Yamayura Village and forms a fast friendship with Hakuowlo.
- Amazon Chaser: Sort of. His wife isn't a warrior, but she's very assertive and wears the pants in the family.
- Bearer of Bad News: Brings the terrible news of Kucca Kecca's imminent attack, though he downplays just how serious the attack on Yamayura actually was.
- Boisterous Bruiser: Big and loud, he is in general a giant oaf who you will know is around one way or another.
- Determinator: Despite being fatally wounded by Kucca Kecca, he manages to run and fight all the way to the palace to warn Hakuowlo. After accomplishing this final task, he succumbs to his wounds and dies peacefully.
- Distracted from Death: He dies alone in the throne room while everyone else are distracted by the imminent attack.
- Go Out with a Smile: Dies with a content smile on his face knowing that he managed to bring his warning to Hakuowlo in time.
- Younger Than They Look: It's explained that the reason why he's nicknamed "Pops" is that he looks older than he really is.
Derihourai
Voiced by: Masayuki Kato (Japanese), Nomed Kaerf (English)
Karulawaturei's younger brother. After he was rousted from his position as prince of the country, he formed a group of rebels named the Kenam in order to overthrow the current emperor Suonkasu. The country of Tuskur aids him in his conquest on a request from Karulau. After the defeat of Suonkasu, he is elected its emperor and re-names it after his sister.
- Jerkass: Before some character development doled out by Karulau's fists.
- Last of His Kind: There aren't many Giriyagina left in the world. He and Karulau are among the last.
- Love at First Punch: After Karulau kicks the crap out of Derihourai, he asks Hakuowlo for her. Of course, considering she somehow reminds him of his sister, why he wants her could be interpreted charitably.
- Punched Across the Room: Karulau beats the crap out of him to teach him a lesson.
- Warrior Prince: He was royalty before Suonkasu took over.
Genjimaru
Voiced by: Shōzō Iizuka (Japanese), Charles Campbell (English)
Elderly warrior of the Evenkuruga, sworn to the service of the Kunnekamun emperor.
- Cutscene Power to the Max: By the time you get him, he simply won't be very effective because you haven't had the chance to build his skills yourself.
- Deal with the Devil: He made pact with Dii, resulting in him being forced to into his servitude in exchange for the Avu Kamuu.
- Family-Unfriendly Death: In the anime he is reduced to little more than a bloody stain by Dii after his failed attempt to kill him.
- Happiness in Slavery: Despite being bound into servitude by a pact to Dii, he actually remembers the days when he used to spar with him fondly. Despite being in a Deal with the Devil situation, there was no bad blood between the two.
- Heroic Willpower: Manages to overcome Dii's Compelling Voice by simple sheer force of will in order to protect Kuuya.
- Iaijutsu Practitioner: Uses an Iaijutsu style that is so fast that for some attacks one can't even see the sword leave the sheath.
- Overrated and Underleveled: He kicks Karulau's ass in a fight, but not only are his stats aside from HP pathetically low for how late in the game you get him, but they also grow slowly as well.
- Proud Warrior Race Guy: A common trait of the Evenkuruga.
- Wowing Cthulhu: In his determination to protect Kuuya, he manages to actually wound Dii and leave him so impressed that he decides to void the deal that she would have inherited in honor of the friend he had just slain with his own hands.
Antagonists
Nuwangi
Voiced by: Hiroyuki Yoshino (Japanese), Greg Ayres (English)
- Bait-and-Switch: To paraphrase Nuwangi's hammy self-introduction from the game, "I am the Emperor...'s brother...'s son! I am the Emperor's nephew!"
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: While his love for Eruruu is a negative example, it's implied he genuinely cared about Tuskur, who acted as a mother figure to him. He's devastated when he learns his actions led to hear death, and the fact that he still called her "Granny" was the key thing that stopped Eruruu from hating him.
- General Failure: He's promoted to samurai general, but his only major accomplishments are burning helpless civilian villages (which just rallies them behind Hakuowlo) and getting most of his army killed in a hasty frontal assault that gets him captured.
- Heel–Face Door-Slam: After being defeated and captured, Hakuowlo asks Eruruu what to do with him. She tells him she never needed fine things and that everything he has done was completely pointless. Horrified, possibly because she had to tell him about ten times before it sunk in, he leaves and wants to try to end the war. However, bandits attack him intending to present his head to Hakuowlo's party for a reward, unaware that he was let loose intentionally.
- Jerkass: It doesn't take long for everyone to see he's a spoiled, arrogant and petty asshole when he attempts to force Eruruu to be his bride, attempts to hit Hakuowlo for intervening which he blocks his fist and destroying a shrine erected to Multikapa to take his anger out on it which prompt the tiger god to kill many of Yamayura's villagers.
- Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: While his hand in Tuskur's death left him slipping fast, it was only when he killed his own father that Nuwangi went from a bully to a civilian-murdering lunatic.
- Lack of Empathy: Nuwangi somehow started to believe that being a complete asshole to everyone Eruruu likes would make her think he's cool. She has no idea what he's thinking.
- Love Makes You Evil: Everything he does is to finally make Eruruu his.
- Moral Event Horizon: In-Universe, Nuwangi setting off the civil war by bringing soldiers who kill Tuskur leave the villagers completely unwilling to accept him back, though he wasn't doing himself any favors before that either. When he's finally defeated, Eruruu tells him to just leave because she can never forgive him, but still doesn't want to see him die.
- Never My Fault: A variation, in that he's not responsible for the direct action but did in fact create the conditions that led to it. Nuwangi brings soldiers to the village to terrorize them, and Aruruu throws a stone at him. One of Nuwangi's soldiers responds by attacking Aruruu, but Tuskur steps in the way and is killed with a fatal wound. Nuwangi berates the soldier for killing Tuskur, but the villagers turn on Nuwangi anyway since it's his fault the soldiers were there in the first place.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: He's incompetent, but extremely vicious. He's much more dangerous in boss battles than you'd think because his knife hurts, and story-wise he's the one who kills his father Sasante after Sasante repeatedly insulted both him and his mother.
- Patricide: In the game he killed his own father when the latter considered he had no more use of him.
- Spoiled Brat: He used to be a member of Eruruu's village, but was recalled to his father's palace and raised in luxury, turning him into this.
- That Man Is Dead: An example that blows up in his face. Nuwangi at one point tells the villagers that he's not the same person as he was before. The villagers reply that they know he's not the same as he was before—before, Nuwangi at least had some backbone.
- Threshold Guardians: Nuwangi is one. Hakuowlo committed himself to helping the village prosper out of gratitude for them having taken him in. Nuwangi has so much power (relative to the villagers, at least) he ends up creating conditions where unless Hakuowlo does something drastic, the entire village will be crushed. Hakuowlo's decision to have the village start a rebellion against Nuwangi, Sasante, and Inkalla begins a chain of events that leads to Hakuowlo becoming Emperor.
- Ungrateful Bastard: It turns out Tuskur helped raise Nuwangi—he used to be a very sickly baby, and Tuskur had to help burp him and change his diapers and everything. Needless to say Tuskur takes it very poorly when the now-grown Nuwangi calls her a hag, so she embarrasses him in front of everyone by publicly announcing everything she did for him as a baby. Although Nuwangi apparently has at least enough gratitude to get mad at the soldier who kills her.
- Unlucky Childhood Friend: It's his own fault that he fails utterly — he somehow fails to realize that acting like an asshole doesn't impress Eruruu. When he's finally burned the absolutely final bridge between them and Eruruu just wants to see him leave so he won't be killed outright, she admits that when they were younger she did love him, meaning he has himself to blame even moreso than it seemed before.
- Villainous Breakdown: After the village rises up in rebellion thanks to his own stupidity and his father tells him to go die so he can escape, Nuwangi snaps and stabs his father to death.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: In the anime his fate is never revealed after Eruruu has him spared and he runs off into the woods.
- Yandere: A rare male example. He's obsessed with Eruruu, and deludes himself into thinking Eruruu would be happier living in luxury with an asshole like Nuwangi rather than a life of poverty with kind and friendly villagers. He also takes it very poorly when he learned that Hakuowlo is living in the same home as Eruruu.
Sasante
Voiced by: Tōru Ōkawa (Japanese), John Swasey (English)
- Adaptational Wimp: In the anime, he doesn't fight back when Hakuoro, Oboro and the villagers storm his fortress.
- Adipose Rex: Sasante and Inkalla are both fat and ugly.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: Sasante declares himself the finest warrior in the land. While Benawi would probably scoff at that if he ever bothered to contradict his rulers, he does easily defend himself against Oboro.
- Offing the Offspring: Sort of. In the game when he was cornered he told Nuwangi to get out and act as bait so that Sasante himself could get away. And to top it all of he said that he could have a new kid at any time and called both Nuwangi and his mother useless to the end. This causes Nuwangi to flip out and kill him.
- Starter Villain: Corrupt and incompetent, he goes down very easily in one of the first stages.
- Stupid Evil: Sasante raises taxes on the village, demands imaginary back taxes and then removes the village's primary source of income.
- Verbal Tic: "Nyamo", shared with his brother.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: In the game he tries this on Nuwangi, but ends up killed by him instead.
Inkalla
Voiced by: Tōru Ōkawa (Japanese), Andrew Love (English)
Nuwangi's uncle and the emperor of the country.- Adipose Rex: Sasante and Inkalla are both fat and ugly.
- Bad Boss: To Benawi.
- Didn't Think This Through: He thought having a neutral village raised to the ground to set an example to those who would defy him was a good idea. All it did was motivate more people to join Hakuowlo's rebellion and it eventually lead to Inkalla's downfall.
- Dirty Coward: He rules the country incompetently, spends their taxes on his hairdo, slaughters a neutral village just to make a point, throws a glass in Benawi's face hard enough to break the glass when Benawi contradicts him...and when the people revolt, rather than face justice, he tries to run away, once again thinking only of himself. He doesn't get the chance, Benawi kills him as an "assisted suicide" which would arguably be less painful than possibly being crucified by the revolutionaries.
- The Hedonist: Loves to eat lots of delicious food and play with beautiful women. Portrayed negatively in this case, of course. In fact, just before Benawi insists on "assisting his suicide", Inkalla begs that he doesn't want to die...because there's still so much delicious food to eat and so many beautiful women to play with!
- It's All About Me: Inkalla abuses the hell out of his country and lives the ultimate hedonist lifestyle. He sends his men to die without a single thought for their wellbeing. When his actions finally catch up with him, he protests to Benawi that he doesn't deserve to die because he hasn't done anything wrong.
- Karmic Death: He isn't actually killed by the revolutionaries; he's killed by his own subordinate, Benawi, whom he bossed around and abused. Interestingly, however, it's not because he was a bad boss that he was killed. Ironically, he's betrayed and killed because Benawi was being noble, since Benawi was giving him a less painful death than he would have received at the hands of the revolutionaries. In a case of karma, the selfish emperor who didn't care who he harmed is finally killed by someone who killed him for his sake, to spare him unnecessary pain.
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Hakuowlo's revolution would not have gone as smoothly as it did if Inkalla hadn't destroyed a neutral village just to make a point, and thus pissed off the other villages in the country, causing them to unite behind Hakuowlo.
- Stupid Evil: Inkalla is just as stupid as his brother. Faced with Hakuowlo's rather small group consisting of a village and a few bandits that used to be nobles and their retainers, he decides the most prudent course of action is to go burn down a neutral village and make everyone unite against him.
Orikakan
Voiced by: Mitsuru Ogata (Japanese), John Swasey (English)
Emperor of Kucca Kecca. He thinks that Hakuowlo is his brother-in-law, Rakshain, who did a number of atrocities before disappearing.- Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: As Eruruu points out that despite what atrocities Rakshain did he is ultimately no better when he wiped out an innocent village that had nothing to do with his grudge.
- Hypocrite: He curses the name of his brother for his heinous crimes, such as killing his wife, child, and other people. Eruruu points out how Orikakan isn't any different because he had her entire village, people included, wiped out despite them being innocent.
- More than Mind Control: The only thing Niwe and Dii did to him is to hypnotize him to see Hakuowlo as Rakshain. He was more than happy to annihilate Tuskur just to have a go against his (likely long dead) mortal enemy.
- Revenge Before Reason: His motivation for attacking Tuskur is to confront his villainous brother-in-law, Rakshain, mistakingly believing Hakuowlo to be him despite Rakshain most likely being dead already. That's how much he hated him. It's only when the holes in his story are pointed out that he snaps back to his senses and realizes Hakuowlo and Rakshain look nothing alike. By this point, a lot of innocent people are dead and his country has been ruined to the point that in the end, Kucca Kecca is annexed by Tuskur. All of that for vengeance against one man.
- Shut Up, Hannibal!: He's a victim of this, courtesy of Eruruu. She points out that by now, he isn't all that different from Rakshain, he killed innocent people and razed a village just because they were hosting "Rakshain", people she knew, lived and thought of as her family along with her hometown. This is part of what made him snap out of his hypnotic spell.
- Unwitting Pawn: His sole purpose under Niwe is to enrage Hakuowlo. He was offed as soon as he was out of Niwe's control and was about to spill the beans.
Suonkasu
Voiced by: Takayuki Kondō (Japanese), Jessie James Grelle (English)
Emperor of Na Tuunk.- Adaptational Wimp: In the anime, he doesn't do much fighting in person and is easily killed by Derihourai
- Agent Peacock: In-game, he's quite deadly with his throwing knives
- Crippling Castration: He got emasculated by Karulau as he was more than a little frisky with her in the past, not that it really stops him.
- Died in Your Arms Tonight: Karulau embraces him in his final moments, moaning her name as he dies.
- Eunuchs Are Evil: He thanks Karalau for "freeing him" from the curse of masculinity.
- I Love You Because I Can't Control You: He loves Karulau for her defiant, free spirit, though it certainly doesn't stop him from trying to catch her.It is precisely because of your unattainability that you are so beautiful, Karulau.
- I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure: He knows that Karulau isn't afraid of damage to herself, so he threatens others in the hopes of luring her in. He even organized the rebellion to use Derihourai as bait to draw her out.
- Sissy Villain: Wears lipstick and nail polish, and has a great love for flowers planted in corpses.
- Yandere: His manic love for Karulau is his sole motivation for a lot of his actions in the Na Tuunk arc. He used Derihourai and his rebellion as an Unwitting Pawn for the sole purpose of attracting her. When Karulau embraced Hakuowlo and acknowledged herself as 'his', Suonkasu went ballistic.
Kamuchataal
Voiced by: Hiroko Taguchi (Japanese), Maggie Flecknoe (English)
- Anti-Villain: She's introduced as raiding the Imperial treasury, and Benawi suspects her of plotting revenge for Inkalla's death. As it turns out, she doesn't care too terribly much about her father, and the whole reason she was stealing from the treasury was to pay off debts she incurred buying the freedom of the girls she employs (who are former slaves). Once this is revealed, Kurou and Benawi point out that if she simply appeals to Hakuowlo, he'll probably clear her debt right then and there.
- Bodyguard Crush: She has an obvious crush on Kurou and used to order him to guard her around.
- Fallen Princess: From the princess of Kenashikourupe to a hostess.
- Generic Cuteness: She's apparently lost the cuteness of her youth and taken on a harder, older look, but the artstyle still makes her absolutely gorgeous.
- Host Club: Given the characters' reactions to it, it's possible she actually runs a brothel, but since it only appears in the non-h version of the game, we never see her establishment offering services beyond hostesses.
- Ma'am Shock: She hates how the girls at her club call her Big Sis despite only being a few years older than them.
- No Doubt the Years Have Changed Me: The hard life of a fugitive paired with a growth spurt apparently changed her dramatically, though Benawi still recognized her.
- Remember the New Guy?: You'd think the rightful heir of Kenashikourupe would have been mentioned during the rebellion arc or during Tuskur's foundation. But nope, Kamuchataal isn't referenced until her arc. Did we mention this arc was added in the re-release?
- Ship Tease: She had a crush on Kurou when she was a girl, and she still carries a torch for him. Kurou seems to reciprocate to some degree, but doesn't take any steps toward a relationship with her.
- The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter: Would you ever believe a woman like her was the daughter of Inkalla of all people? While she does complain of looking older than she'd like, though her portrait shows her as being just as beautiful as any other female character.
- Weapon Specialization: She wields a whip in combat, and is pretty good with it.
- You Killed My Father: Downplayed; she's not happy to learn Benawi killed her father, but seeing as how they weren't all that close, and her father murdered his way to the throne besides, she lets it go.
Niwe
Voiced by: Yosuke Akimoto (Japanese), Chris Ayres (English)
- Adaptational Villainy: Downplayed, while he is a monster across both the game and adaptations, he is shown as far more monstrous in his actions in the anime, both conducting inhumane experiments on his subjects and setting his whole capital ablaze just to get under Hakuowlo's skin.
- Admiring the Abomination: Niwe spends his final moments marveling at Hakuowlo's monstrous god-form, before being ripping to piece.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: He wished to battle the ultimate beast, a figurative statement of the kind of inner beast that exists within us all. That wish turned into something a bit more literal than what he was probably expecting, not that he seemed to mind.
- Blood Knight: Nothing gets his blood pumping like an intense battle. It's what motivated him to challenge and test Hakuowlo to get a worthy fight.
- Graceful Loser: Niwe outright demands that Hakuowlo devour him, citing the below quote.
- Evil Laugh: Has a very distinct laugh he loves to indulge in whenever he engages in his depraved activities.
- Family-Unfriendly Death: His death in the anime was anything but clean. Getting torn into bloody shreds, a perverted joke of what was once a living being, by an enraged Hakuowlo.
- Hate Sink: The most contemptible of the villains in the game. He manipulates events to get Hakuowlo to fight, such as tricking Orikakan, the king of Kucca Kecca into believing Hakuowlo was his traitorous brother-in-law, which sparked the invasion of Tuskur. He would later run his country to the ground to further enrage Hakuowlo to the point where he transformed into his monstrous god form. Laughing at his success in getting under Hakuowlo's skin and forcing him to transform, Niwe goads Hakuowlo into killing him, citing that one must be the predator and one must be the prey.
Dii
Voiced by: Shūichi Ikeda (Japanese), Nomed Kaerf (episode 22), John Gremillion (episodes 23-26) (English)
- Adaptational Early Appearance: He is shown much earlier in the anime where he is frequently shown together with Niwe compared to the game where he first briefly appeared after Niwe's death.
- Big Bad: Or rather, he's possessed by the Big Bad.
- The Chessmaster: And his chess pieces are whole countries.
- Evil Counterpart: As he is the carrier of Uitsalnemetia's violent half, it is a given that he is similar to Hakuowlo in many ways while also embodying the part of him that he separated from.
- Graceful Loser: He initially accepts that he has been defeated by Hakuowlo and his people and vows to go back to his slumber until it is time for the two to meet again. Hakuowlo meanwhile had other ideas, reasoning that they both are the source of misfortune and thus needs to be gotten rid of permanently.
- Just Toying with Them: In the first battle against him, it is clear that he is holding back just for the sake of the battle against those severely weaker than he is. Made clear by the fact that he will effortlessly block Hakuowlo's attacks.
- Literal Split Personality: He is the other half of Hakuowlo, or rather, Dii is the meat suit of the other half.
- Physical God: He's possessed by the other half of Uitsalnemetia, giving him powers and knowledge equal to those of Hakuowlo.
- Social Darwinist: He manipulates countries into going to war with each other because he thinks that humans can't evolve or grow unless they're constantly in battle, which would weed out the weak.
- Too Much Alike: He notes that the reason he and Hakuowlo just can't see eye to eye is simply due to the fact that as they were originally a single being, and thus far too alike for the other to be able to stand their presence even if they technically are opposites.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The original Dii simply stumbled upon the resting place of Uitsalnemetia and ended up awakening them by accident, kickstarting the plot in the process.
Kuuya Amrulineulka
Voiced by: Akira Tomisaka (Japanese), Luci Christian (English)
The emperor of Kunnekamun.- A Child Shall Lead Them: Kuuya is suggested to be a teenager, rather young for ruling a great nation.
- Adaptational Early Appearance: Inverted, she first appears much later in the anime as compared to the game.
- Antiquated Linguistics: Kuuya's speech is rather archaic in some respects, including rare pronouns like Sonata (second person polite) and yo (first person, very dignified) which causes Hakuowlo to assume that she's male until she takes off her hood.
- Heel–Face Door-Slam: After being beaten she agrees to give up, but a combination of seeing the death of Genjimaru, the annihilation of her country, and Hakuowlo transform into Uitsalnemetia causes her mind to snap and regress to an infantile state.
- Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Kuuya is very sheltered, but completely fails to realize it herself. She asks how many women Hakuowlo keeps at hand, mentions that she likes to play with girls herself and then goes on to talk about how fun hide and seek is. It goes downhill from there.
- Puppet King: Kuuya should be the ruler of her nation, but she appointed one decent general and one Ax-Crazy one and then lets them do whatever they want because she's weak.
- Samus Is a Girl: Hakuowlo assumed she was male from her speech, but she's actually a girl and pretty cute at that.
- Sheltered Aristocrat: She was raised under very sheltered circumstances resulting in her not only lacking much in the way of common sense, but also makes her easily manipulated by those that she is supposed to trust.
- Tomboyish Voice: Her boyish voice definitely helped obfuscate her gender.
- Trauma-Induced Amnesia: She has a breakdown after a nasty series of events that includes Genjimaru sacrificing himself for her, as well as the complete destruction of her country. She regresses to an infantile state and forgets almost everything.
- Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: One of the final antagonists when people just won't leave Kunnekamun alone. Eventually, she decides that since people won't quit attacking her people, she'll beat them to the punch and just start attacking everyone.
Hien
Voiced by: Hirofumi Nojima (Japanese), Clint Bickham (English)
- Can't Catch Up: Despite all his training, his grandfather still eclipses him in skill and power. He ends up being so desperate to surpass Genjimaru that he makes a deal with Dii just to bridge the gap.
- Deal with the Devil: In his bid for power to surpass his grandfather he ends up making a pact with the dark Uitsalnemetia residing within Dii.
- Dies Differently in Adaptation: Dies by taking an attack meant for the heroes in the original game, dies from being impaled by Uitsalnemetia in the anime.
- Inferiority Superiority Complex: Being the grandchild of someone of as great renown as Genjimaru has caused to devlop a kind of inferiority complex and constantly drives himself to try and surpass his grandfather, regardless of what he has to do to accomplish it.
- Lawful Stupid: Hien willingly invites destruction on the land simply because someone else swore a contract that he feels is binding on himself, even betraying his actual ruler in the process. Possibly subverted in that he may just be making excuses for his own inferiority complex.
- My Master, Right or Wrong: Subverted or played straight as you choose to interpret it. He follows Kuuya into a war he does not really approve of, but after she has agreed to stop fighting his master by this point is Dii.
- Villain's Dying Grace: Beaten by the party, Hien accepts his loss and promises to let the heroes pass. When Mutsumi tries to attack everyone regardless, Hien takes the blast instead and challenges her to a doomed fight to uphold his oath.
Hauenkua
Voiced by: Akeno Watanabe (Japanese), Blake Shepard (English)
- Adaptational Heroism: Heavily downplayed in the anime. He is a monster and a coward through and through across all version, but some of his crimes were shifted onto Niwe in the anime as opposed to in the original game.
- Ambiguous Gender: Has both long hair and a high-pitched voice, but with masculine facial features and no apparent feminine body characteristics.
- Axe-Crazy: Starts out already pretty crazy, but encounters with Hakuowlo eventually drive him over the edge.
- Bad Boss: He is not above cutting down his own subordinates for merely bringing up the possibility that he might be overstepping his bounds.
- Blood Knight: He lives for battle and slaughter.
- Cruel Mercy: At one point spares a country leader who was begging him to take his life but sparing his people and instead killed everyone else while the leader would have to grow old and die with the knowledge that he failed to save his people.
- Dirty Coward: When Hakuowlo taunts Hauenkua by calling him a coward, the latter gets suspiciously angry. As soon as Hakuowlo turns the battle around by turning into his godly form he starts cowering in fear, crying for his mother.
- Disney Villain Death: In the game, Hauenkua goes mad, is struck by Hien as a Mercy Kill and then backs up off of a cliff. His death in the anime is far less clean, being pummeled to death by an enraged Hakuowlo in god form.
- Jerkass: Even to his own side.
- Manipulative Bastard: Frequently manipulates Kuuya directly by pushing her buttons or indirectly by riling up her subjects, all to ensure as much bloodshed as possible.
- Token Evil Teammate: Out of the people in Kuuya's closest circle, he is by far the most depraved and get's a charge out of engaging in pure sadism and cruelty. This in contrast with the others that are trying to find some more civilized solution to their problems.
- Wolverine Claws: His Avu Kamuu sports these, which he loves using to tear apart his victims.
Mutsumi
Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya (Japanese), Serena Varghese (English)
The first of the Onkamiyaryu ever created, and possessor of strong psychic powers. She was responsible for sealing away Uitsalnemetia when he went on a rampage that the human part of his mind rebelled against, and may have been partially responsible for Uitsalnemetia getting split up. Her spirit was somehow bound to the Onkamiyaryu and would occasionally reincarnate, her vessel being marked by the same black wings that she bore in life.
- And I Must Scream: During Iceman's time, she had been reduced to nothing but a brain on life support as part of the scientists' experiments. She was still able to reach out to Iceman and communicate with him psychically, which was her only form of interaction or stimulus. Seeing this, the scientists decided to recreate her body for further experimentation after Iceman escaped.
- Anti-Villain: She assists Dii, due to him being the vessel of her father. The only reason she opposes Hakuowlo, despite him also being her father, is to keep him away from Dii and prevent a greater tragedy from taking place.
- Duel Boss: The battle against her is fought 1-on-1 with Hakuowlo.
- Goroawase Number: Her name comes from her serial number from when she was still being held by the scientists in the far past. Number 63.
- Holy Halo: Although it doesn't show up in the art, her ingame model shows her with a constant halo above her head, continuing with the angelic theme of the Onkamiyaryu.
- Legacy Character: Her spirit lives on within the Onkamiyaryu royal bloodline. In each generation there is one young woman born with black wings that serves as a potential vessel for her spirit to possess if needed.
- Semi-Divine: While all the "decoy" demihumans have some amount of Iceman's DNA in them, it's stated that his DNA is strongest in her. This is why she calls him "Father" and why he acknowledges her as his daughter. This also explains why her magic abilities are so much greater than any other Onkamiyaryu.
- Telepathy: She can communicate with "Iceman" with nothing but her mind, though she has a habit of being quite loud when doing so.
- Winged Humanoid: As the first of the Onkamiyaryu, this is a given.
Minor Characters
Tuskur
Voiced by: Hisako Kyoda (Japanese), Marcy Bannor (English)
Chieftain and healer of the village of Yamayura, and grandmother of Eruruu and Aruruu, she is responsible for healing Hakuowlo's injuries and later gives him her son's clothes and name. She also bestowed the metal fan (or "lucky charm") that is Hakuowlo's signature weapon.
- All There in the Manual: Tuskur actually has quite the past to her, though you'd only know it if you read the writer's interview.
She grew up during the war between Light and Dark Uitsalnemetia and fought on the side of the Light Uitsalnemetia, where she learned the god was called "Hakuowlo." When the war ended, she settled down and named her son after the god she once served. Long after that, she would recognize the strange masked man her granddaughter brought home and return to him his name. - Cool Old Lady: A very well-respected authority figure and leader. Her death triggers a nationwide revolt that winds up affecting all the surrounding lands as well.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Dies shielding Aruruu from the attack of a soldier who is apparently okay with stabbing small children.
- I Regret Nothing: With a long life behind her and her family beside her, Tuskur dies without regret.
- The Namesake: After Hakuoro's coup of Kenashikorupe succeeds, he renames the country to "Tuskur" in her memory.
- Outliving One's Offspring: She's outlived her son Hakuoro.
- Stern Teacher: To Eruruu when teaching her medicine.
- Take Up My Sword: She asks Hakuowlo to take care of the village and her granddaughters.
- Taking the Bullet: When a particularly cruel soldier tries to kill Aruruu, she jumps in front of the blade.
Yuzuha
Voiced by: Mai Nakahara (Japanese), Monica Rial (English)
Oboro's little sister, who has been weak and sickly since birth.
- Bizarre Taste in Food: Apparently she is actually quite fond of bitter food which makes it fairly easy to give her medicine, medicine that makes everyone else curl over from how bitter the taste is.
- Delicate and Sickly: Yuzuha, with her overly-sheltered upbringing, is implied to have been sickly since her early childhood with her illness being a big source of angst for Oboro. While the full nature of her illness would only be elaborated upon in the sequels (What Tuskur meant by "an illness where the gods are feuding" is that she has all main elements at once and none of them can truly dominate. This causes her body to be slowly destroyed from within.), it's obviously debilitating her strongly to the point that Yuzuha requires regular treatment from Tuskur (and later Eruruu) to stay alive. It's also why she became blind: the result of a particularly bad seizure. She dies offscreen before the epilogue soon after giving birth to Hakuowlo's child, Kuon.
- Eyes Always Shut: Certain artwork shows her eyes open, but due to her blindness she usually keeps them shut.
- Formal Characters Use Keigo: Yuzuha is very polite and formal, befitting a former noble, which contrasts with her rough bandit of a brother.
- Love at First Sight: Only without, you know, the seeing part. In the game, there's more explanation provided as to why; it's because the way Hakuowlo walks is "earthy" and that makes Yuzuha more comfortable (since she can't see, so Hakuowlo has enough "presence" that she can talk to him easily). Hakuowlo doesn't seem to really ever realize.
- Morality Pet: Subverted! When she first appears, it's to show how nice and caring Oboro can be given that Hakuowlo first meets Oboro as an antagonist, which is this trope...except that Oboro still comes off as a prick even after Yuzuha is introduced as his morality pet because he keeps Yuzuha cooped up in her room all the time, and she has to chew him out off-screen before he becomes genuinely nice.
- My Biological Clock Is Ticking: Played for Drama. She knows her days are numbered and wants to bear Hakuowlo's child as proof that she existed.
- Noble Fugitive: It's implied that Oboro and Yuzuha are the last surviving members of a destroyed house that had the family of the archer twins as their vassals. Yuzuha still keeps the speech patterns from back then while Oboro is a bandit.
- Too Good for This Sinful Earth: It's often pointed out how unfair it is that such a kind and innocent girl is cursed with such a frail life. And sure enough, she dies in the end.
- What the Hell, Hero?: An off-screen version at that! Early on, a bit after Hakuowlo and Yuzuha meet, Oboro explains that Yuzuha finally called him "selfish" for always keeping her in her room. That's why Yuzuha eventually comes to stay with Hakuowlo and his friends so Yuzuha can enjoy the rest of her life instead of staying cooped up in a room.
Sopoku
Voiced by: Satsuki Yukino (Japanese), Christine Auten (English)
Teoro's beloved wife, who quite clearly wears the pants in the family.
- Shipper on Deck: She catches on to Eruruu's feelings for Hakuowlo almost instantly, and just as quickly decides to support Eruruu.
Chikinaro
Voiced by: Tetsuharu Ohta (Japanese), Andy McAvin (English)
- Everyone Has Standards: He'll sell just about anything, but slaves is something he refuses to deal with.
- Intrepid Merchant: Travels far and wide, both to sell and to acquire rare goods. Something that becomes quite useful to Hakuowlo and his associates.
- Wild Card: He is a merchant first and foremost and as such takes no sides, he is just after his payment at the end of the day. He was meant to be on Dii's side but this was never expanded upon and it eventually became a moot point.
Munto
Voiced by: Hiroshi Shirokuma (Japanese), Jay Hickman (English)
- Butt-Monkey: Munto is rather frequently abused, such as having all the feathers plucked from his wings after he offers some to the merchants and shoppers.
Sakuya
Voiced by: Kaori Mizuhashi (Japanese), Allison Sumrall (English)
Kuuya's attendant and best friend. She is the granddaughter of Genjimaru, her grandmother and/or mother was a native of Kunnekamun and so she does not appear to be of the same species as he is.
- Close-Call Haircut: Ends up getting her hair cut by a guard while trying to infiltrate Hakuowlo's palace.
- I Did What I Had to Do: Benevolent, nonmalicious variant, but only in the game. She requests her own grandfather cut the tendons in her legs so she can never move or walk without help again just to prove she will never betray Hakuowlo.
- Wise Beyond Her Years: Despite her age, she proves absurdly mature where it counts.
Past Characters (Unmarked Spoiler Warning)
These characters in general
- Walking Spoiler: They spoil how this world was created from the time it used to be our modern world.
"Iceman"
Voiced by: Rikiya Koyama (Japanese), John Gremillion (English)
Hakuowlo's true identity. He was a brilliant scientist and archeologist who had a relationship and a child with Mikoto who unfortunately was killed by the rest of his fellow scientists. Out of grief for the loss of his family he became Uitsalnemetia.
Mikoto
Voiced by: Ryōka Yuzuki (Japanese), Kira Vincent-Davis (English)
- Goroawase Number: "Iceman" gave her a name based on the pronunciation of her serial number.
- They Would Cut You Up: After she was captured she was dissected by the scientists as she was the first known decoy that had given birth.
- You Are Number 6: As with all the decoys, the scientists only refer to her by her number designation 3510.
Mizushima
- Voiced by: Masami Katou (Japanese), Jay Hickman (English)
- It Gets Easier: He references the trope when he discusses just how it got easier and easier to do all kinds of immoral acts in the name of science. This is something that scares him to the point that he would betray his fellow man if just to ever so slightly lighten the burden on his conscience.
- Loophole Abuse: He can't give Mikoto a proper name and has to refer to her by her number, but nothing is stopping "Iceman" from giving her a name and referring to her as such.
- Token Good Teammate: Unlike the other scientists who are driven by either curiosity or desires for immortality and vitality, he is more concerned with "Iceman"'s and Mikoto's safety and has grown weary of the actions he has committed in the name of science.
- Uncertain Doom: His ultimate fate after he let Iceman and the various Decoys escape is left ambiguous.
The other scientists
The scientists who were with the "Iceman" before they dissected Mikoto. They ended up destroying the world as a result of their actions.
Uitsalnemetia (Unmarked Spoiler Warning)
Uitsalnemetia, The One of Whom Legends Are Sung
The god that most of the people in the game worship, said to be at once generous and jealous, both giving great reward and taking away in equal turn. At first, it seems like just a background element, but as the story enters its late phases, Uitsalnemetia becomes a central character in its own right.
- Adaptational Wimp: Downplayed in the anime, but while Uitsalnemetia there is by far the most powerful being in the series, it still is nowhere near as powerful as in the games where he is shown to both be able to Flash Step, drag his enemies down to god knows where to be able to make Abh-Kamus explode with just a touch.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: The scientists who killed Mikoto mentioned a desire to become immortal. Furious at what happened, Uitsalnemetia decided to grant that wish and turned them into piles of red sludge that can never die but will live lives of suffering.
- Compelling Voice: One of Uitsalnemetia's powers. Hakuowlo accidentally uses it a few times when stressed out. Near the end of the game, it uses this power to paralyze people to prevent them from interfering, by simply ordering them to "Don't move".
- Complete Immortality: Even having all the meat in its body rot off and its skeleton fossilized did not kill Uitsalnemetia. At best, it can only be magically sealed after being weakened in combat. This same immortality applies to whatever human vessel it may be possessing.
- Final Boss: The fused form of both the titular God's halves serves as the final battle of the game.
- Grand Theft Me: It possessed the man who would one day become Hakuowlo when he begged to survive. It stayed with him for hundreds, if not thousands of years until it awakened upon Mikoto's death and subsequently seperating. The light god - the one who would become Hakuowlo - got the longer end of the stick and kept his mind and body, while the dark god - what is left of the original god - became a disembodied entity who needs to possess other beings to be able to do anything. He would eventually possess Dii and completely subsumes his personality.
- Jackass Genie: Uitsalnemetia likes to grant wishes to mortals who cross its path, but the outcomes of those wishes are rarely good, or carry an extremely heavy price. In most cases it appears that Uitsalnemetia actually does want to help people, but in practice it usually causes more harm than good. Some comments by Dii also imply that a price must be paid in exchange for the wish, and Uitsalnemetia cannot grant wishes without some price being paid.
- Literal Split Personality: When it went berserk in the distant past upon the death of Mikoto, the man who would one day become Hakuowlo desperately tried to fight against that rage. This resulted in half of Uitsalnemetia splitting off, creating the Dark God and the White God. The two keep most of their powers, but fly into a blind rage whenever they see each other, since they embody opposing sides of the original being. The two halves are recombined at the end of the story.
- Marathon Boss: Both of his arms and the main body needs to be defeated in his boss battle, all of which have massive health pools and defenses far above anything else in the game, making it quite the long battle.
- Physical God: Uitsalnemetia is described by the devs as "something with power" and not as a god in the traditional, religious sense. It's real form (at least, as implied from Hakuowlo's and Dii's transformations) is essentially an inhuman, yet very humanoid Kaiju.
- Riddle for the Ages: It's never really explained what Uitsalnemetia is nor where it came from. The earliest known sighting was when the man who would one day become Hakuowlo found its ancient, fossilized skeleton buried in the earth, and analysis indicated that it's older than humanity as a species.
- Social Darwinist: The dark half of Uitsalnemetia believes in encouraging war and conflict to weed out the weak and strengthen the various races as a whole.
- Title Drop: The recombined, whole Uitsalnemetia introduces itself as "The legend sung", which is roughly what "Utawarerumono" translates to.
