Raquel had sent Naoto on a mission to save every possibility, to save his world.

Appearance

Personality

Has a rough personality. Due to owning the special power of the "Eye of the Hunter," he has experienced many hardships, and he deeply wishes to lead an ordinary and peaceful life. However, because he has a strong sense of justice and can't help but assist those in trouble, he sometimes gets himself tangled in problems. He's not afraid of acting, but often does so before thinking. He's a little too loud for tea.[2]

Biography

Central Fiction

An outsider who arrived from a parallel world to search for a girl called Raquel Alucard. He has the "Eye of the Hunter" that can see the strength of a person's lifeforce, and is the owner of the Drive "Bloodedge" that allows him to fight with weapons made from blood. Opening his eyes to the unfamiliar land of Kagutsuchi and disoriented enough to not know his right from his left, he asks around for "a blonde girl with pale skin, wearing black ribbons that look like rabbit ears."[3]

Raquel sent Naoto on a mission to save every possibility and his own world. He was flung into many different possibilities through the Boundary before he finally landed in the Embryo’s version of Bascule in the 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi. He wondered if anyone would understand his words and if anyone would attack him. [4] Initially unaware of his own objective, he prioritized finding Raquel. While looking around, he bumped into Celica A. Mercury and Ex Machina: Minerva and asked them for directions, but they, too, were new to the area. After describing Raquel to them, they mistook it for Rachel, and the three of them decided to travel together within the distorted Hierarchical City. [5]

Naoto was transported along with Celica and Minerva to the Ikaruga Federation, and together they heard Nine the Phantom’s voice telling them to kill Izanami to claim their piece of the Azure. He followed Celica as she ran to find her sister. [6]

Eventually, they arrived in the 6th Hierarchical City of Yabiko. He listened to Celica talk about her sister. They decided to travel further into the city, only for him to lose her in the crowd. [7]However, he caught a glimpse of Rachel and pursued her, having mistook her for Raquel. After catching up to her, Naoto began asking her questions that she was unable to answer. In response, Rachel became instantly hostile and forced him into a battle for his life, which he eventually managed to win by using Bloodedge. Valkenhayn, now much older than he had been the last time Naoto had seen him, arrived to protect his mistress. [8] Naoto prepared to fight again, but was teleported away to the Gate where he was assaulted by Es. After fighting her and losing, Naoto was thrown out of the Gate. [9]

Finding himself still in Yabiko, Naoto chanced upon Ragna the Bloodedge, fighting him when the Grim Reaper would not release information on Celica’s whereabouts. They recognised one another's Drives and became confused over claims of who was Saya’s older brother (Ragna referencing Saya, and Naoto referencing Saya Terumi). Naoto retreated when he remembered he had other, more important things to do. [10]

Kokonoe found Naoto in her own time, and wanted measurements from him. She fought him to obtain those measurements, and afterwards noticed that she couldn’t track him back to his possibility. Naoto explained to her the situation and that he needed her help, but her singlemindedness scared him away. [11]

Eventually, Makoto Nanaya found him. She strongly reminded him of Yuki, and they travelled together to the frozen space-time within the Embryo to search for Makoto's friend, Noel Vermillion. Inside, they were assaulted by Es, who had come to backup Makoto’s data as she had lost her qualification as one of the chosen. Makoto begged Naoto to run as he was one of Es’ targets for elimination. He complied, receiving a telepathic order from Raquel to go to Kagutsuchi’s cauldron. [12]

Together again

On his way there, he was met again by Es, who informed him that Makoto had evaporated into seithr. Naoto nearly attacked her in a blind rage, but stopped at the last moment when she did not attempt to move out of the way. She revealed to him that he was the “future” while she was the “past."

Arriving at the cauldron, he saved Rachel from being tossed into the Boundary by Hazama, and stopped Ragna from killing the Grimoire. By stopping Ragna, he managed to save all possibilities as Raquel had requested, and returned back to his own possibility. [13] When he woke up, Raquel offered her outstretched hand to help him to his feet. [14]
