Background & History

Ichinose enters the Black Sphere trials as a compassionate but frightened participant. During an early Parasite encounter, fear causes her to miss the timing on a Y-GUN capture shot while trying to save Sakayanagi. Soon afterward, however, she is the first student to fire on an Evil Spirit despite being terrified. 4 12

The apparent death of her close friend Shiranami Chihiro and her own severe injury harden her resolve rather than making her retreat. She immediately asks whether the Black Sphere can resurrect dead companions, learning that revival costs 100 points. 15 17 As Class B’s representative, she struggles with how much information to reveal, fearing that uncontrolled rumors about the trials will create panic while also refusing to let uninformed classmates take fatal risks. 26

After earning points in the Kabane trial, she accepts Ryuen’s tactical decision to let her finish a special Kabane and maximize the group’s gains. 30 She later buys her own Reinforcement Suit, uses it to address Class B’s negative points, and publicly demonstrates its power by crushing a basketball one-handed. Her presentation is intended to make classmates accept the reality of the Black Sphere exams and prepare for them. 34 37 38

Shiranami’s later disappearance during the battle with Gotou devastates Ichinose. Though she continues comforting her classmates, she blames herself for failing to protect them and resolves to save points for Shiranami’s resurrection. 49 51 52 Her leadership becomes more guarded afterward: she refuses to allow Amasawa Ichika to risk herself in a Main Match and insists that a class representative must protect every member of the class. 93

Ichinose gradually learns to balance compassion with survival. She initially delays Shiranami’s revival to prioritize Class B’s combat strength, but ultimately spends points to revive her during a Revival Trial. 137 182 She continues supporting newer students such as Yotsuya Miko, teaching her about Ripple training, survival equipment, and the realities of life under the Black Sphere system. 186

Appearance

Ichinose is a pink-haired high school student. When preparing for combat, she wears her Reinforcement Suit beneath a tracksuit or school clothes. 52 70

• The Reinforcement Suit is black, skin-tight, and has a matte texture resembling both metal and living skin. 37
• Blue metallic rings on the suit are visible at her neck, wrists, and ankles. 70
• Her Ten Thousand Miles Flight ability manifests as a pair of broad, pure-white wings. 189

Personality

Ichinose is consistently compassionate, responsible, and willing to shoulder burdens for others. She is deeply affected by classmates’ suffering, seeks ways to revive those lost in the trials, and often prioritizes collective safety over her own comfort. 17 43 93 Even when discussing Class B’s poor coordination, she rejects harsh criticism and redirects attention toward practical improvements. 64

Her kindness is paired with a serious tendency toward self-blame. Following failed missions, she questions her own maturity and faults herself even when others try to comfort her. 32 34 52 This tendency gradually becomes more tempered by experience: she learns to refuse reckless requests, make strategic sacrifices, and protect her resources when necessary. 64 93 137 183

Ichinose is trusting and easily embarrassed in intimate situations, particularly around Su Wei. 21 40 Her feelings become more complicated when she sees him with Karuizawa; although jealousy overwhelms her briefly, she later apologizes for misunderstanding the situation rather than blaming Karuizawa. 155 156

Abilities & Skills

Leadership and Coordination

Ichinose serves as Class B’s representative and organizes her classmates around the Black Sphere’s escalating threats.

• Compiles detailed reports on the Combat Suit’s functions and purchaser-binding restriction. 22
• Creates and distributes explanatory material about the Special Exams. 28
• Publicly demonstrates supernatural equipment to prepare skeptical classmates for future trials. 37 38
• Makes difficult participation decisions based on classmates’ remaining lives and ability to survive. 26 93
• Uses the Y-GUN’s radar to track remaining enemies and coordinate battlefield cleanup. 180

Firearms Proficiency

Despite her fear, Ichinose can act decisively under pressure with Black Sphere weapons.

• Fires first on an Evil Spirit when the group identifies its threat. 12
• Executes a captured special Kabane with an X-GUN to secure points for the team. 30
• Uses her Reinforcement Suit and firearms in the confrontation with Gotou. 49
• Recognizes the range limitations of the X-GUN and Y-GUN in close combat. 47 98

Reinforcement Suit

Ichinose’s primary physical enhancement equipment dramatically improves her strength, speed, and durability.

• Crushes a basketball with one hand to demonstrate its enhanced strength. 38
• Uses the suit to defeat Gotou after being driven by grief and anger. 49
• Its effects cannot be transferred to another wearer because it is bound to its purchaser. 22
• Su Wei indicates that its performance is linked to the wearer’s mental state and hints at a higher-output “burst mode.” 34
• Ichinose initially lacks the physical conditioning to fully capitalize on its enhancement. 41

Swordsmanship

Ichinose trains with wooden swords under Su Wei to develop a reliable close-range option.

• Begins training after recognizing that firearms alone are insufficient in confined spaces. 64 98
• Spars with Horikita and lands a strike when Horikita loses concentration. 95
• Prefers armed combat over grappling because she considers close-quarters hand-to-hand fighting unsuited to her strengths. 98

Ripple

Ichinose has learned the Ripple training method and treats it as a practical means of self-defense.

• Her later concentration training is compared to when she first learned Ripple. 189
• Teaches the method to Yotsuya Miko, whom she considers well-suited to it because of Miko’s mental strength. 186

Ten Thousand Miles Flight

Ichinose can generate white wings and fly.

• The ability is less useful in enclosed indoor environments. 180
• She can remain airborne while using the Love-Love Fruit. 189 228

Love-Love Fruit

A Devil Fruit ability centered on petrifying targets.

• Initially petrifies only targets who feel attraction toward her. 181
• Ichinose worries that this requirement makes the power unreliable against monsters on a battlefield. 181
• The ability proves ineffective against opponents such as Wamuu and Neferpitou, who are not affected by her charm. 213
• After upgrading the fruit for 30 S Points, she can forcibly petrify a target once her ability touches its body. 224
• Uses its upgraded pink beams to petrify puppets attacking from a building’s exterior. 228

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Reinforcement Suit / Combat Suit — Personal enhancement suit purchased with points; provides enhanced physical ability and limited protection. 34 38
• X-GUN — Used against Evil Spirits, Kabane, and Parasites; has a limited effective locking range. 30 47
• X-SHOT GUN — Its radar identifies hostile targets by red markers. 228
• Y-GUN — A capture weapon with radar functionality; Ichinose finds one during the uninhabited-island exam and uses it to locate allies. 115
• Black Sphere watch — Used to access her item upgrade tree and purchase the Love-Love Fruit upgrade. 224

Relationships

• Su Wei — Ally, mentor, and the person Ichinose most often seeks for combat and strategic guidance. He saves her from a Parasite, teaches her swordsmanship, and helps her develop the Love-Love Fruit. 16 64 188 189
• Shiranami Chihiro — Close friend whose apparent deaths and disappearance deeply shape Ichinose’s decisions. Ichinose saves points for her and ultimately initiates her revival. 15 17 49 182
• Amikura Mako — Trusted Class B companion and emotional support. Amikura worries that Ichinose’s determination to remain strong is concealing dangerous pressure. 56
• Amasawa Ichika — Transfer student in Ichinose’s class. Ichinose initially refuses to let her take life-threatening exam risks, though the two later spar and discuss future training. 69 93 98
• Karuizawa Kei — Classmate whose closeness with Su Wei triggers Ichinose’s jealousy and misunderstanding. Ichinose later apologizes after Karuizawa explains herself. 155 156
• Horikita Suzune — Fellow trainee and sparring partner. Ichinose respects Horikita’s willingness to fight despite fear and guilt. 95 149
• Ryuen Kakeru — Competitive but cooperative ally in the Black Sphere trials. Ryuen lets Ichinose claim points from a special Kabane, and later presses her to preserve resources for the class’s survival. 30 183
• Yotsuya Miko — New student whom Ichinose supports with survival advice, Ripple instruction, and encouragement to acquire a Reinforcement Suit. 186 193
