Meet the characters from Platinum End

Mirai Kakehashi

Mirai is that painfully earnest protagonist who’s been through absolute hell and still tries to be kind — like, he radiates “I will help you” energy even when he’s dying inside. He’s stubbornly moral but also makes panic decisions and then apologizes profusely, which is maybe his whole vibe. He was literally rescued from despair and now he’s juggling godly stuff with school lunches and terrible timing, and somehow both roles fit him. Also he’s awkward in the best way — protective without being overbearing, and sometimes he surprises you by being quietly ruthless when pushed (not a lot, just enough to be terrifying).

Nasse

Nasse is this adorable, bouncy angel who looks like a sugar rush come to life but can also be nightmare-level efficient when she needs to be — she hands out miracles like it’s candy and then gives you a very polite, very lethal stare. She speaks like sunshine and yet she has a real no-nonsense streak; under that chirpy exterior is someone who absolutely will enforce rules and also cuddle you, in that order. Tiny, mischievous, impossibly loyal to Mirai (and deeply weird about human snacks? I forget, maybe she likes crackers), she’s the chaotic-soft guardian you didn’t know you needed. Honestly, she flips between playful and terrifying in the blink of an eyelash and I love that contradiction so much.

Saki Hanakago

Saki is grounded and fierce in a way that reads calm on the outside but actually she’s plotting backup plans in her head 24/7 — she’s the friend who will drag you out of bed and then bring you a scarred thermos of soup. She’s empathetic, kind, and stubbornly practical; she notices things other people miss and quietly keeps the group steady, even when things are falling apart. Sometimes she’s the calming voice, sometimes she snaps and it’s surprisingly satisfying because she means business, and she collects tiny hairpins for reasons she’ll never explain. Also, small quirk: she hates being the center of attention but will absolutely yell at anyone threatening her people, which is a cute contradiction.

Revel

Revel feels like the personification of cold strategy — smooth, cerebral, and a little theatrical, like someone who reads tragic poetry for breakfast and manipulates chess pieces for fun. He’s brilliant and unnerving, the kind of antagonist (or antihero? depends on your mood) who makes you rethink your position while sipping tea like nothing’s happening. There’s a weird charisma there, a knack for turning moral dilemmas into personal puzzles, and yet every now and then you catch a glimpse of something softer, like bad origin-story vibes or a weird love of sunsets, which makes him frustratingly human. He’s ruthless but stylish about it, with a habit of smiling at exactly the wrong moment — in short, very dramatic, very watchable.
