Shuten Order Character Trailers Reveal Game’s Cast

Whoa, okay, so here’s the deal: Spike Chunsoft is dropping this digital-only thing called Shuten Order on the Switch, and it’s happening in Europe and North America. I guess it’s a pretty big deal if you’re into gaming—and maybe if you like digital-only stuff? Anyway, EXNOA, who, let’s face it, I had to Google, joins forces with these Tookyo Games folks. So there’s this famous guy behind it, Kazutaka Kodaka, who did Danganronpa. You probably know that. Or maybe not. Who knows?

You get five kinds of games in one. Crazy, right? Like you’re juggling stealth action horror—whatever that is—with a visual novel thing. It’s chaos, but some people love that.

So picture this: 168 days until the world ends. Apocalypse vibes, big time. There’s a cult called Shuten Order, and it’s all doom and gloom until—bam, the founder bites the dust. But wait, plot twist—they come back to life. Well, sort of. Meet Rei Shimobe, your new favorite amnesiac protagonist. They get four days to live and have to play detective. Did I mention “God’s trial”? Yeah, find out who whacked them or else.

The game’s worldwide September 5, 2025. Not even sure why I remember that date when I can’t remember my neighbor’s name.

Let’s dive into the characters—‘cause why not? Rei’s the resurrected head honcho. Then, we got Kishiru Inugami, the Minister of Justice or something. This guy’s called the “Ghost White Arbitrator.” Sounds intense, right? Legal drug addiction, which is… well, do what you will with that info.

Then there’s Yugen Ushitora from the Health department. The “Gatekeeper to the Afterlife”—no pressure there. Loves his sister. That’s sweet. Or creepy? Depends on how you see it.

Teko Ion is your science nerd, no charm but buckets of brains. Designing the country’s tech while being all genius-like. No big deal.

Education’s run by Honoka Kokushikan, who’s nicknamed the “Conjurer of Words.” Sounds like she’s got secrets and may want to be the next big cheese. Ambitious.

On security detail, Manji Fushicho is aggressive, like a breaking-point aggressive. She’s got this “Queen of Heretic Hunting” thing going on and wants peace. Probably.

And then we have the “angels.” Himeru is one—an anxious little ball of energy trying to push Rei along. Clearly not a fan of Shuten. Mikotoru, on the other hand, is calm and knowledgeable, sidestepping any tough questions like a pro.

That’s the scoop. It’s messy, but maybe that’s the charm? Or just how my brain works today.
