All manga and anime fans, good morning, evening, or night! Today we have prepared a short list that briefly discusses the characters from the Platinum End series.
Before I start this blog, I would like to state that Platinum End is completely fictional. It is not true. This is why I am saying it. Because sometimes, readers can become too involved in manga or anime. This is not just about Platinum End, it’s all fictional work.
Platinum End was so real, I felt like I was part their reality. It is amazing how these authors can create such incredible stories. I apologize if I have offended, but I wanted to let you know.
Without further ado, let’s get started. But first, allow me to introduce you to the Platinum End manga.
What does Platinum End Mean?
Platinum End was written by Tsugumi Okaba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata. What other manga did they work on? The legendary Death Note series.
You don’t need to know anything about Death Note if you are serious about anime and manga. Both Platinum End (and Death Note) contain dark and heavy elements. This is not a fairytale that you can tell your children at night.
Platinum End’s premise is that one person can become the god or goddess of the new world. The chosen candidate is free to do whatever they want with humanity. This sounds familiar? Light Death Note wanted to inflict justice and judgment upon all those he considered evil.
Light was only a human being, so it was wrong for him to pretend he was God. He was he wrong to pretend to be something he wasn’t? He believed it was for humanity’s good. This ideology is carried on into the Platinum End series.
Platinum End’s main character is Mirai. In the first chapter, Mirai attempts to commit suicide. He was raised by an abusive aunt and uncle and is constantly bullied at school. His parents had been murdered.
Mirai was not like most people. Mirai was just done with life. He didn’t like the idea of having your neck stepped every morning. He graduates from high school and decides that he is done with life. He climbs to the top of a building and steps onto the outer ledge before he falls to his death.
An angel appeared before he could shut his eyes and relax in peace. Angel Nasse rescues him and gives him the chance to become a God Candidate. One of thirteen randomly suicidal candidates will bear the brunt of humankind’s fate. They were all suicidal.
Mirai accepts Nasse’s offer. However, Mirai has to agree to one condition. He gets both Wings and Angel’s Arrow abilities. Mirai asked her to comply and she explained that it was tradition to ask candidates to choose.
Mirai did not want to choose one of the two, he simply wanted to die. He asked for both powers so that he could not access the game. Mirai will use these superpowers in a different way. Will he protect Japan’s citizens with his wings? Will he protect the people of Japan with his wings?
The Candidates – Part A
Below are God candidates. This list divides the candidates into two groups. To win, they must kill each other. You can get the abilities of the dead by killing a god candidate.
Mirai Kakehashi
Principal Character
Mirai, a 15-year-old boy, has a more serious and gloomy appearance. He is the protagonist of Platinum End. Mirai was selected by Nasse, the angel of Nasse, as a god candidate.
(Trigger Warning: Self-Harm). In Platinum End’s first chapter, Mirai attempts suicide. This was a very dark introduction to Mirai, the main character in the series ( Silver End Manga: Chapter 1).
Mirai is a mystery to me. As a child, he was severely abused ( Platinum End Manga Chapter 1), but he never harbored any grudges. Mirai never hated. I will never be as kind as him and I don’t want to. This is one of his strengths that attracted me to his character.
Did you remember how I said that he is a God candidate. He doesn’t want the title. Why is he allowing it to happen? To protect Saki from the Metropolitans.
Saki Hanakago
Mirai’s childhood friend
Saki, a young girl, used to be friends Mirai when they were small ( Silver End Manga: Chapter 2).
Later, however, all of his classmates start bullying him at school. This is a boy who lost his parents and lives with an abusive aunt and uncle.
Saki follows in the footsteps of her classmates and participates in bullying Mirai. She felt so bad about her actions (Trigger warning: self-harm) that she tried to commit suicide.
Let me give you some advice. Don’t bully anyone under any circumstances. It’s a horrible feeling to know that every day is a hellish day.
Yuri Temari
God Candidate
The beauty of 23 years old is also a God candidate. She was chosen by Yazeli, an angel. Her goal is to live her remaining years in comfort with Red Arrow Powers ( platinum End Manga: Chapter 28). She is my favorite girl in the series. BUT, THAT’S MY OPINION ONLY.
Red Arrow is her power. If you fire the Red Arrow at someone, they will fall for her for 33 days. To fall in love with her, you don’t have to be shot. You’ll understand what I mean when you read Platinum End.
Shuji Nakumi
God Candidate
Shuji, a thirteen year-old boy, is also a God candidate. The angel Ogaro chose him. Ogaro chose him because he has deep eyes. Is that excessive? Probably.
I felt the chills when he first appeared ( Platinum End Manga Chapter 31). Is he not reminiscent of Death Note’s little L?
What thirteen-year-old is that? Oh my goodness! I remember when I was thirteen I was watching Dragon Ball Z while eating Pop-Tarts. Yes, I’m not as strong as these kids.
Gaku Yoneda
God Candidate
Gentlemen and ladies, I’d like to introduce you the last God Candidate of the Platinum End Series: Gaku Yona.
He is a retired professor from Tokyo University ( platinum End Manga: Chapter 31), , and was also one of the youngest to win a Nobel Prize.
Professor Gaku Yonada was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics and literature. These are two opposites.
The Candidates – Part B
This is the second batch of God candidate candidates. One thing was the reason I separated them. After you’ve finished the manga, you can come back to see if the criteria I used for separating the candidates into two different groups.
A second fact about the candidates: they are all Japanese. Why? Japan is a country that has a high suicide rate despite being blessed. All thirteen of these candidates were suicidal. This is quite depressing.
Susumu Yuito
God Candidate Part B
Susumu was chosen by the angel Penema as a God candidate. When I first saw Susumu ( platinum End Manga: Chapter 7), I wasn’t sure what to think. We only saw one picture of him. That’s it.
When he was first introduced to the series, I was concerned about him. We learn more about him throughout the manga.
He gives his full support to Mirai, and even shares with the public the existence of god candidates.
Nanato Mukaido
God Candidate Part B
Nanato, a God candidate, was selected by the angel Baret. He is a God candidate who was chosen by the angel Baret.
He is a 30-year old man who will do whatever it takes to help his family. He has three months left to live after being diagnosed with cancer.
How will Nanato be able to continue being with his family? By becoming an official God candidate.
Kanade Uryuu
God Candidate Part B
What do you know about Kanade Uryu? Is Metropoliman familiar? Kanade is the antagonist in the series’ first episode.
He was selected by Angel Meyza as a God candidate. This man is unstoppable. He will take anyone’s life without second thoughts.
He was born with a silver spoon in the foul mouth and is an arrogant human being. Kanade is pure evil. He is nothing like Eren or Itachi.
Hajime Sokotani
God Candidate Part B
Hajime, a God candidate, was selected by the angel Balta. Hajime is a God candidate who was chosen by the angel Balta.
Hajime is a young boy that struggled with his appearance. In the end, he had plastic surgery performed on him so that he could look more ‘beautiful’ ( Platinum End Manga: Chapter 14 ).
I know what you mean by Platinum End being too realistic. This character touched on my insecurities the most unexpectedly.
I don’t think you know me or my appearance so I won’t hesitate to share my real personality. However, I am very conscious of my appearance and try not to talk too much to avoid being noticed .
I am too conscious of how I present to society. That is a daily struggle for me. It hurts to see Hajime’s inner struggles with himself. This isn’t a problem that only a few people have to face. It is something everyone wants to improve on at least one aspect of their appearance.
His freckles looked adorable to me, but they didn’t. His button nose was cute, but I didn’t like it ( Platinum End Manga Chapter 14). This is an example of wanting to reach out and touch a character but being unable to do so because reality and fiction can be separated by paper and pencil.
Shogo Hatekayama
God Candidate Part B
Shogo is an Angel Emaka’s God candidate. He is a God candidate chosen by the Angel Emaka.
Before he became a candidate, he failed the entrance exam of his college of choice for the third time. Saburo, on the other hand, failed his entrance exam for the first time.
They met and decided to (Trigger Warning: Self-Harm) to commit suicide together in order to avoid the shame of failing.
They are greeted by two angels before they go to sleep. These angles give them the chance to be God candidates. Shogo and Saburo make a deal with these angels and agree to it.
However, they make a pact with each other as well: whoever becomes the winner of the game must treat the other to their desires . So, they believe this will be a win-win for them
Tonma Rodriguez
Supporting Character
Tonma is an angel candidate for God who was chosen by Luta. (SPOILER: He is actually the first candidate to be eliminated from Metropoliman ( Silver End Manga Chapter 2). Metropoliman is Kanade Uyu.
Tonma is just as selfish as he can be. Tonma’s greed never fails me. His Red Arrow ability is his strength, and he doesn’t hesitate to use it.
He has women falling head over heels for him because of the Red Arrows. His ego is the size of a stadium. It’s unfathomable how self-absorbed he can be.
Before he was elected God candidate, he was a comic that no one remembered ( platinum End Manga: Chapter 2). So I don’t understand why he thinks that he is all that, when he wasn’t.
Chiyo Nakayama
God Candidate Part B
Chiyo, a young girl, was selected by the angel Jami to be a God candidate. She is fragile. She could be a victim of bullying at schoolChiyo can be a fragile girl. Metropoliman’s Red Arrow might have been the reason.
Her ability is Wings, so she can fly. She doesn’t have Angel Arrows, and with her weak drive, she’s really at a disadvantage in this battle of royale.
Saburo
Supporting Character
Saburo is an angel chosen Saburo as a God candidate. His talents include Red Arrows and Wings.
Both he and Shogo Hatakeyama failed college entrance exams. They decide to commit suicide to avoid the shame of failing college entrance exams.
Before they do it, two angels appear before them and offer the chance of becoming a god candidate. Saburo and Shogo agree to the angels’ offer .
When he needs to keep his identity secret, he wears a Metroyellow superhero outfit ( Silver End Manga: Chapter 5).

The Thirteen Angels
In the Platinum End Manga, there are thirteen angels . They can be categorized according to rank. They are classified by rank.
Meyza
Special Ranked Angel
Meyza, an angel who selected Kanade Uryu to be her God candidate, is called Meyza. Meyza, like Nasse is a special-ranking angel.
She is also known as the Angel of Lust. It was a new concept to me that angels could be named for a questionably impure emotion. Is lust impure? It can be compared to love. But, do I have to compare it with other emotions to determine if it is inappropriate?
Let’s go back to the blog, instead of dwelling on my inner philosophical crisis.
Revel
Second Ranked Angel
Before I get into Revel’s background, I must mention that I love his eyes. I love the way his eyes are shaped and the color of their iris.
Revel was a second-rank angel at the beginning of Platinum End. This is still quite good. Later, he moves up to second rank ( Silver End Manga: Chapter 16).
He was second-ranked as an angel and was called Angel Of Trickery. He was very manipulative because he had low self-esteem. He began to understand people when he rose in rank. He was then known as the Angel of Emotion.
Baret
Special Ranked Angel (former)
Baret was the angel who chose Nanato Mukaido to be a God candidate ( platinum End Manga: Chapter 7). Because she is a first-ranking angel, her words mean business.
Her beautiful mossy-green eyes contrast beautifully with her pale skin and blonde hair. She is known as the Angel of Knowledge.
Fun Fact: She was once a special rank. But Revel stated in chapter seven that she was degraded because she was a “know-it-all”. I find this hilarious.
Jami
Second Ranked Angel
Jami is an angel who chose Chiyo Nakayama to be a God candidate ( platinum End Manga: Chapter 7). He is the second rank.
He has short, white hair and an golden band around his forehead. He truly looks like an angel. It’s unfair!
Egura
First Ranked Angel
Egura is an angel who chose Saburo Tbuchi to be her god candidate ( Gold End Manga Chapter 7). She is a first-ranking Angel. Red Arrows and Wings are her specialties.
She covers her left blue eye with her white hair. But why? I want to see her full face!
Emaka
First Ranked Angel
Do you think Emaka sounds pretty? I don’t know if it rhymes with Baka.
She is a first-rank Angel and chose Shogo Hatakeyama to be her God candidate. She is short and has golden eyes. A golden band is found on her forehead. She is a Red Arrows and Wings pilot
Luta
Second Ranked Angel
Luta was an angel who chose Tonma Rodriguez to be a god candidate. He is a second rank angel and has Wings as his only ability.
He is a calm, easy-going man who can handle any negative situation in a flash. One example would be when Tonma (SPOILER!) died. Instead of being upset about Tonma’s death, he wanted more information ( Silver End Manga: Chapter 2).
Luta is one peculiar dude.
Yazeli
Second Ranked Angel
Does he not remind you of the one hero Thor? Was it Hawk man? Are you mad that I don’t even know who you are?
Yazeli, an angel who chose Yuri Temari to be a god candidate, is however. He is the Angel of Truth, and is the second rank.
Penema
First Ranked Angel
Penema is an angel who chose Susumu Yuito as a God candidate. He is the Angel of Games and is the Angel of Games.
He is a funny guy who just wants to entertain ( Platinum End Manga Chapter 28). Red Arrows and Wings are his strengths.
Ogaro
First Ranked Angel
Shuji Nakaumi is Shuji Ogaro’s god candidate. She is a first rank angel and is also known as Angel of Darkness.
Can someone explain how an angel, a being of light, is known for the darkness? When I was a kid, I never understood that name or how it came to be. Orgaro even looks bright . Oh well.
She is also ethereal.
Muni
Special Ranked Angel
This guy looks exactly like the man he is known for. Muni is also known as the Angel of Destruction. He is an angel but takes on a humanoid appearance that is quite unsettling.
I was reading the manga late at midnight and lost it when I saw him first ( Platinum End Manga Chapter 28). I couldn’t fall asleep! I could see him every time I closed my eyes. It was horrible.
Muni, a special rank angel is much more prominent than the rest of the 13 angels.
Humans (Other Characters).
These characters aren’t angels, and they are not candidates. They are all creepy and I am glad they don’t possess their powers. If they did, streets would be filled with blood and innocent people.
Mimimi Yamada
Serial Killer
Don’t be fooled! This girl is a serial murderer. Are you curious about her preferred victims? Cute girls. At least I’m not on the hook. She is sinister and troubling.
I don’t care about her attractiveness. What makes her more terrifying? She is a bright and bubbly person. She giggles when she is slicing her targets.
Sometimes if she’s feeling a tad bit frisky, she’ll engage in Rated R play with her victims before cutting them open. I just don’t get it.
She once stated that she loves to kill people for the thrill and that she still wants more ( platinum End Manga: Chapter 8).
Because Mimimi was hit by one of his Red Arrows ( Silver End Manga Chapter 7), Mimimi has a connection to Metropoliman. He orders her to kill ugly girls. Both of them are crazy!
Fact that I don’t find it to be fun: Mimimi means beautiful . Excuse me while I go barf in the corner.
Mirai’s Uncle
Uncle
This guy is a horrible person. ####. This is what I hate about him. He abused him horribly instead of loving him.
From the bottom my heart, I wish this character goes to Hell many times. I hope that you will stub your toe every single time you pass a table. After 66 attempts, I hope you can plug in your USB port successfully.
He manipulated Mirai and even forced him into being his slave. He stole money from the insurance he got after Mirai started living with him.
It is just horrible. It was he who killed Mirai’s parents ( Silver End Manga: Chapter 1).
(SPOILER: Mirai takes revenge on his uncle by using a Red Arrow ( Silver End Manga: Chapter 3).
Mirai’s Aunt
I have never wished any harm upon anyone. Yes, I will swear at you that I am not a Saint, but I won’t pray for you or anyone to be hit by a bus.
Today is an exception. This is not just for the aunt but also for the uncle. It is a crime to abuse an orphan, let alone a child. Mirai’s sad history made me weep. It’s unfair.
(SPOILER ALERT) Mirai’s parents were murdered by her ( Platinum End Manga Chapter 1). Why? Because it’s easy.
Kohinata Fuyuko
Kohinata Fuyuko works as a Pharmaceutical Researcher. She does not make medicines to save lives. She does not create medical devices that can aid in healthcare management.
She is passionate about making biological weapons. Kohinata uses these weapons to test on animals and humans. Her badass nature makes my legs shake.
Kohinata is a nurse who’s willing to make your fever worse and make you vomit blood. Mirai thought it was over when I first saw her ( platinum End Manga: Chapter 17). She’s scary!
She was scouted by this mysterious, unknown organization because she was very knowledgeable about human experimentation and manufacturing biological weapons.
