Get the latest details on new characters below:
Ren Amano (voiced by Takeo Otsuka)
Age: 17
Soul Device: Kurikara sword types
A second-year student who serves as the vice president of the Hirasaka Academy student council, as well as the leader of the high-ranking team “Futen.”
As the heir to the Amano Group, one of Japan’s leading financial conglomerates, he carries himself with dignity. However, he is not arrogant, and treats commoners and lower-ranking students with equal friendliness.
He seems to have seen through Rei—who boldly declared he would “conquer the entirety of Hirasaka Xanadu” immediately after transferring to the academy—realizing that he is “not all talk.”
Zoya (voiced by Chiharu Hokaze)
Age: 17
Soul Device: Shashka types
A tall student with short hair, and a member of Asano’s team “Futen.”
She has an impulsive personality, and will sometimes pick fights with others while completely disregarding Chisa and Rachana, who are acting alongside her.
She seems unable to accept the fact that Amano has taken an interest in Rei, the new transfer student, and acts quite aggressively toward him.
Chisa (voiced by Mika Kohinata)
Age: 16
Soul Device: Kunai types
A petite girl with black hair whose bangs cover her eyes, and one of the members of Amano’s team “Futen.”
She can be somewhat shy, and is sometimes pressured by Zoya’s assertiveness, finding it difficult to express her own opinions.
However, rumor has it that she is skilled in assassination techniques using kunai-type Soul Devices, and that she may be the most dangerous of the group when she gets serious.
Rachana (voiced by Kazuki Asami)
Age: 17
Soul Device: Bow types
A girl with a calm and intellectual air about her, and a member of the team “Futen” alongside Zoya and Chisa.
With her sharp mind, she can assess situations from a distance, and often acts as an intermediary between Zoya and Chisa, maintaining the balance between the trio.
She is also incredibly loyal to Amano, the leader of “Futen,” and will do whatever reason dictates for his sake.
In the meantime, fans can catch up with the Nintendo Switch version of Tokyo Xanadu eX+, which includes 60 FPS support, a revamped localization, a high-speed Turbo mode, and all previously released DLC. Final Weapon’s review of Tokyo Xanadu eX+ notes that the Nintendo Switch version is the best version on consoles. With a 3.5 out of 5 score, Final Weapon’s review notes that “despite its story and combat-related flaws, Tokyo Xanadu eX+ still presents RPG fans with a great offering of content and features that will make them want to explore Tokyo and discover the secrets of the underworld.”
