Naruse Yuuki / 成瀬有紀
How to obtain: Initial character.

Range: Long

Bond: Friend

Skills:
 * BOOM!: 1 Stamina. Evades combat for that turn. (Skill only available as male Yuuki)
 * Loyalty Boost: Passive. Increases the loyalty of the units stationed in the same region as Yuuki. (Skill only available as female Yuuki)

Character Checks:
 * Station Zanma Rouga (斬真狼牙) and Naruse Yuuki in the same region. If Yuuki's HP is below 9 after combat, an event will trigger. Only available in the National Chapter.
 * After the previous star, station Yuuki with Yamamoto Burai (山本無頼), or Idagawa Ren (韋駄川煉) or Kongomaru Sanzou (金剛丸三蔵) or Mouri Sonken (red) (毛利尊拳) in the same region (only one is necessary). An event will trigger at the beginning of the next turn.
 * After the previous star, station Yuuki with one of the characters not used for the previous star (so if you used Idagawa Ren, don't use him again). After that event triggers, a second event will trigger at the beginning of the next turn (Yuuki doesn't need to be stationed with anyone in particular for this one).
 * Station Yuuki with Cleo Aripa (クレオ・アリパ) in Tottori (塔鳥). Then select the event "Naruse's Shooting Rally" ("成瀬の射撃大会"). You may need to raise Yuuki's level to 70 EXP or higher, and may need to be past turn 40 (I've gotten it as early as turn 25, so I'm not too sure about that one...) (Not true, I've gotten it around turn 85, maybe it haven't limited time).
 * After the previous star, have Yuuki fight along with Cleo Aripa (クレオ・アリパ) in combat.

Other Notes:


 * Yuuki is in reality a girl posing as a guy. In order to have him (her) change into her female self for the rest of the game, observe the following as it is complicated:
 * Talk to him three to four times during the conversation phase (can be done during school/district chapter - basically exhaust all his conversation topics until he starts repeating himself).
 * Station Yuuki along with Jinnai Heita (陣内兵太) in any region during the national chapter for 2 turns for 2 separate beginning-of-turn events (second one is food related). They don't need to be stationed together for two consecutive turns. You must clear Heita's 3rd star first.
 * Once Yuuki's experience bar is at /74 or higher, station him again with Jinnai Heita (陣内兵太) in any region. An event should trigger at the beginning of turn (peeping related). (Note: I was able to trigger this event immediately after Yuuki levelled up to 70.)
 * Next, station Yuuki and Francine (フランシーヌ) in any region. An event should trigger where Francine (フランシーヌ) tries to examine him.
 * 5-6 turns later, station Yuuki and Francine (フランシーヌ) together again in any region. It will then be revealed that Yuuki is actually a girl. You can stop here if you don't care about seeing female Yuuki's epilogue scene.
 * For the determined, station female Yuuki along with Hibiki Sanae (日比生咲苗) and an event should trigger at the beginning of the turn.
 * Following that, station Yuuki in Toukyou and trigger an event named "Shopping with Yuuki". Next, talk to her in the conversation phase a couple of times to trigger her H-scene for CG [6-4-3].
 * Finally, station Yuuki and Himenomiya Kaen (姫乃宮華苑) in the same region to trigger another beginning-of-turn event (make-up related). This final scene is required to see female Yuuki's ending.
 * Note that these gender changing events will not trigger if you have already cleared Yuuki's 1st star. Likewise, none of Yuuki's stars can be cleared once Yuuki is revealed as a girl.
 * Yuuki's Stamina will increase by 1 every 30 levels. Caution: Stamina is reverted back to 3 once Yuuki is revealed as a girl (other stats remain the same however) so you may not want to level Yuuki more than 29 times before you reveal Yuuki's real gender.
 * Naruse Yuuki is needed for character clears of Tenrou Kunagi, Jinnai Heita and Ijuuin Tamari.
 * A full character clear requires Zanma Rouga, Cleo Aripa and two of the following four character: Yamamoto Burai, red Mouri Sonken, Idagawa Ren and Kongomaru Sanzou

Jinnai Heita / 陣内兵太
How to obtain: Initial character.

Range: Short

Bond: Friend

 * Use his Ten Year Knuckle skill in 7 non-dungeon battles. Obtaining this star will make him die.

Other Notes:
 * In order to obtain his Ten Year Knuckle skill you need to turn him into Super Heita. Station him in Tottori (塔鳥), Forestland (樹界), and Kumamotou (熊元) so that he goes missing, then trigger the event "Search for Heita" ("陣内兵太の捜索") in each of them for him to return. After all three events, speak to him during the Companion Phase.  Aside from learning his skill, he will also power up, changing to Holy (Eternal) type, gaining type advantages against Black B, Mech, and Demon (Magic) types, and getting significant boosts to his HP, Attack, Hit, and Evade.

 * Station her in Toukyou (闘京). If her level has been raised at least 20 times, an event will be triggered if her 4th star has been obtained. This can't be done if Shorko and Saki are stationed in Toukyou as well.

Other Notes:
 * CG [5-1-1] is obtained by getting her second star.
 * All her stars link to the skills of Shoko and Saki, so their skills increase along with hers. Erika's third star clear will also increase their affection levels, for example.
 * The item "Kitty Gold Coin (ネコル金貨☆)" can be obtained randomly by talking to her 2 or more times.
 * She is required to recruit Comet-san (コメートさん). This is done in Shisuoka (志津岡) by selecting the event "Erika at the Observatory"("絵梨花の天文台") 3 times, then choosing to run away when the choice between running and fighting the meteor appears. First, suppress the Observatory. Second, station Erika in this region and wait at least five turns. It's confirmed that she does not need any of her stars for this event.
 * The events to recruit Comet can only be triggered after turn 41.
 * Her starting HP is actually 40, but since her first character check is cleared when she joins, she'll gain additional 5 HP.
 * When talking to her for her second star, any time she attacks you it is a wasted action. You could clear this as early as the School Chapter.

 * After two start of turn events with Murakumo Shizuri (叢雲静梨), station them together. Kendo will ask you to let her duel Shizuri, and having Kendo win will clear her 5th star. Note that the duel can only happen once, so you can only clear one of either Kendo or Shizuri in a single save.

 * The two start of turn events for her 5th star will power Kendo up and change her attack animation.
 * Nakanishi Kendo is needed for character clears of Nakanishi Kyudo and Murakumo Shizuri.
 * Because of her first 3 star-events can easily be cleared during the school phase in no time,this is the tips to make her even more stronger for the player who hasn't done any of her event yet. 1 Save the game before recruit Kendo,leave this slot untouch for now 2.Cleared her 1,2 and 3 star-events and be sure to end the turn after completed her third star. 3 Load the save file from 1 and recruit Kendo,this time you will notice that she start off with 3 Star Bonus (10 HP, 5 Attack, 5 Hit, 10 Law, 10 Income) adding to her intial stats.If you decide to clear her first three events again,this will make her even more powerful and quite overpowered for this point of the game.
