Three New Characters

Umbra · Post by **Umbra** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 9:57 am

Though I have yet to see any images of them, AnimeNewsNetwork has revealed that there are three more characters in .hack//Roots, who probably appear in today's episode, Twilight Brigade.

The characters are known as Nazoranty, Iyoten, and Asuta. As I suspected, Mistral's Seiyuu has been given a part in .hack//Roots and she is the one who plays Nazoranty.

I will post any new information I find and would appreciate it if anyone else with information posted it here.

I remember the character with black hair leaning against the wall and another character with purple hair and a rather unusual gauntlet, though I do not believe there is a third character in the preview.

I will assume that you are correct until proven otherwise, there is no reason for me to be against the idea of new characters.

I am guessing that they are Iyoten and Asuta, as I could not imagine Atsuko Enomoto playing either character.

No, what I mean to say is that Atsuko Enomoto, the Seiyuu who played Mistral and A-20, played a character called Nazoranty.

However, another update seems to show us that Nazoranty was a character that appears solely in episode one, though Enomoto does play a character called B-Set who appears to be solely an episode two character.

Hiroshi Yanaka, the Seiyuu who played Sora, also plays a character for episode two called Gord.

They were in the credits for Episode One, meaning they were in Episode One.

Reset seems sort of bitter about the whole ordeal
but she didn't really seem hurt
I wonder why she left
and what
Who-Knows-Where
place she was asked to stay at
everyone seems to join the guild for Ovan
instead of the Key of the Twilight
maybe they left
because he wouldn't give them any answers

I think Reset left because she was bored. I mean look at her face, it's got 'boredom' written all over it.

Nazorunty is the grunty in the Twilight Brigade's @Home.

The girl's name is "B-Set".

in regards to the characters, I believe I have figured out exactly who they are...

Nazorunty is Ovan's Grunty, as we all know. It also seems to me that Iyoten and Asuta are the two PKs you hear the voices of at the beginning of the first episode.

In other words, Asuta is the female Brandish seen PKing Haseo during a flashback on the GU trailer and Iyoten is the male Blade seen holding his sword to Haseo's throat during the same flashback. In which case, Iyoten and Asuta are the two PKs mentioned in the Play magazine article who help Haseo out before attempting to PK him. They are also the two PKs seen at the beginning of the second chapter of GU+, the two who are shot down by Ovan before he says 'Welcome to The World'.

That would be where Roots picks up from, with Haseo talking to Ovan after being saved from the treacherous Iyoten and Asuta.

The official Roots website has also been updated.

In the Character section, B set has been included, she appears to be a Steam Gunner and has no affiliation with a particular Guild.
