As a character with no real attachment to the world she’s living in right now aside from wanting to live, she’s the extreme example of someone dealt the short end of the bullying straw, then tossed into a blender of horrible family relations. Perhaps the biggest thing to note however, isn’t so much our mysterious “Sphinx” duo (as they call themselves), as it is the third main cast member in Mishima Lisa. That’s without mentioning the nuclear fuel they stole months prior. At the same time, they’re also perfectly capable of fitting in as regular high school students, and the fact that they even broadcasted their intent beforehand (without masking their voices no less), rode motorcycles in broad daylight in the middle of it all and set up bombs without any masks or care for surveillance highlights just how much of a threat they are. Nine and Twelve introduce themselves as people with the uncanny, almost supernatural ability to plan everything out to the last detail, and it comes to a head with their successful demolition of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. These are guys that are supremely confident in their ability to succeed and the scariest part is they’re not bluffing. Contrary to the stereotype, they’re far from unwilling to standout (in fact, they do extraneous things to attract attention), and they don’t hesitate to recruit others they feel might be willing to join their cause.

Toji Hisami)-the main focus of this story-are far from your run of the mill terrorists. Zankyou no Terror‘s first episode is all about setting up that sense of uneasiness, and it’s readily apparent that things aren’t quite as they seem.

There’s no guarantee of any pattern to find or any clues to point you in the right direction and it’s an unnerving thought that nightmares are made of. You’re dealing with a needle in a haystack in terms of the population and to top it off, they’re people whose sole purpose is to generate fear no matter what it takes and how long it takes to do it. And how can you? They could be the friendly neighbor next door, the guy that you paid to mow your lawn, or Zankyou no Terror’s case, that new classmate in your high school. Somewhere out there, someone’s sweating it out as we speak, racing against time to ensure these two things never come together. Present Day: Posing as students, the two members of “Sphinx” successfully demolish the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and Mishima Lisa joins the group.Six Months Prior: Nine and Twelve steal nuclear materials from a processing plant.
