Two rosters exist and neither is safe to read
This is worth knowing before you open any character page for this game, including the ones above us. Fextralife's roster was last edited 28 July 2026 — six days before the game released — and it says so in its own footer. Its header goes further and tells you the names may be wrong: where only a Japanese name is confirmed, "the English spelling on this page is the expected form rather than an official one, and it will be corrected against the released game". It lists six characters, and its Kagura entry places her in a colony rather than aboard the Cleanse Walker, which is where the shipped game puts her. Game8's roster is post-launch and complete — it is the only published list carrying Shidou, the Administrator and Mikoto — and it prints the two largest reveals in this game in ordinary body text with nothing above them. So one list is stale and admits it, and the other is accurate and will spoil you. That gap is the only reason this page exists.
- A stale wiki is not a dishonest one. Fextralife declares its own state at the top of the page; the problem is that Google does not read the disclaimer.
- Both claims are on the live page rather than reproduced here — the edit date is in its footer and the spelling caveat is its second paragraph. `docs/media-ledger.md` forbids capturing a competitor to illustrate that it is wrong, and a link does this job, so follow it and check.
- We are not checking Game8 against Fextralife. On everything after launch, only one of them had the finished game.
The cast
9 names, ordered by when you meet them rather than by importance — importance on a cast list is a judgement nobody sourced. The 3 reveals open one at a time or all at once, and every card says which sources name that person, because 3 of these rest on a single published roster and 4 are corroborated by a capture made for a different page entirely.
Where the names come from, and why four of them are stronger than the others
Emma and Koo are the publisher's own words on its own game page — "one-person, one-dog", and "Koo, the blighted dog". Violet, Brad, Kagura and Kunai are named by both wikis, which is two sources but not two *independent* ones on anything after launch, since one of them stopped editing before launch. Shidou, the Administrator, Kunai and Mikoto are different: Game8 names them, and all four appear independently in the fight order this repo transcribed from ExoGhost's no-commentary run for `/bosses/` — a list made months of editing away from any wiki, for a different purpose. Where a wiki and our own capture arrive at the same person from opposite directions, that is real corroboration. Where only one names something, the card says so.
- Kagura is the clearest case of the pre-launch entry being outdated: `/cooking/` has had her aboard the Cleanse Walker, with rapport levels paying out in cook books, since 2026-08-06.
- Violet is the clearest case of the reveal gap: Fextralife calls her role "unconfirmed"; Game8 states what she turns out to be.
- No English voice actor is paired to any character here. Fextralife pairs several, and the publisher never did — that argument, and the one name worth knowing, is on the voice cast page.
