Dionysia

Theme: fantasy, magic and theater?

Elias Pratt

Elias is a form of Elijah used in several languages. This is also the form used in the Greek New Testament, as well as some English translations. It’s from the Hebrew name אֱלִיָּהוּ (ʾEliyyahu) meaning "my God is Yahweh". Elijah was a Hebrew prophet and miracle worker, as told in the two Books of Kings in the Old Testament.

Pratt is from Old English prætt meaning "trick, prank". This was a nickname for a trickster.

We’ve met him but he hasn’t gotten a proper introduction yet. He might be added later, who knows?

Shion Genkai

Shion (シオン) is just katakana for Zion, but Shion (紫苑) means "aster" (a purple flower that symbolizes memory, eternal love, and mourning). It can also come from (詩) meaning "poem" and (音) meaning "sound". Mermaids/sirens are known to have beautiful voices.

Genkai (幻海) is a Japanese boy’s name. 幻 (gen) means "illusion, phantom, vision" and 海 (kai) means "ocean, sea".

I’m really curious why Shion is in katakana… but there’s another character like this.

Mio Susuhara

Mio (未桜) is from Japanese 未 (mi) meaning "not yet, future" combined with 桜 (ō) meaning "cherry blossom". I’ve always seen 桜 used in names for characters associated with the sakura in design. “Not yet a cherry blossom” → “The cherry blossom that has not yet bloomed.”

Susuhara (煤原) 煤 (susu) means "soot, coal dust." 原 (hara) is a very common surname suffix meaning "origin, source, foundation." Maybe the full meaning is “Source of Ash” or “Soot Field.”

Jo Kongoza

Jo (丈) means "height", "length" or "man", used as a masculine suffix in given names for a strong or noble tone.

Kongoza (金剛座) 金剛 (Kongō) is literally "vajra" or "diamond/indestructible." In Buddhist context, it symbolizes strength and resilience. 座 (Za) can mean “seat,” “place,” or “theater troupe.” Often evokes an elevated or ceremonial position. So, 金剛座 literally means “The Diamond (Vajra) Seat”. The sacred spot of enlightenment, unshakable and pure, under the Bodhi tree where the Buddha attained enlightenment.

Clementia

This is pure speculation. I’m not sure if these characters are in Clementia, nothing is confirmed.

Theme: spirituality?

Shiki

Shiki is also written in katakana (シキ) which can be associated with multiple kanji and meanings depending on context.

四季 = four seasons

死鬼 = death spirit / demon

識 = knowledge / awareness

Writing entirely in katakana gives an edgy, modern, or ambiguous impression..

Yamato

Yamato (倭刀) is Literally “Japanese sword.” 倭 is an ancient name for Japan, 刀 is “sword, blade.” The name evokes strong, nationalistic, or heroic imagery. The reading Yamato for 倭 is classical, “刀” is often left unpronounced in a stylized name.

EP23 spoiler: Haku doesn’t use the honorific “-san” when referring to Yamato. It could mean he’s just younger than him (since Haku doesn’t use honorifics for the 1st and 2nd years) or they could be very close… or even related. Apparently they have the same home. Maybe brothers or cousins? Haku’s last name, Kusanagi, refers to the legendary sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi.

Inamori

I have a speculation that this could be Yamato’s last name…

Inamori (稲荷社) is a little complicated. Usually it’s not pronounced Inamori. If read “いなりしゃ / Inari-sha” it literally means "Inari-shrine."

But names (personal or place names) in Japanese can use special “name-only” readings (nanori), and 稲荷社 can also be read “Inamori” in that context, even though the standard reading is “Inari-sha.”

Inari (稲荷) Refers to Inari, the Shintō kami (deity) of rice, agriculture, fertility, prosperity, and later commerce. Sha (社) means "shrine" or "shrine building." So, 稲荷社 = a shrine dedicated to the Inari deity.

Ina (稲) literally means "rice plant", na (荷) "cargo/load" (In the context of Inari, it is part of the compound “Inari” (稲荷) while for names, it can retain the na reading). Mori (社) still means "shrine" or "company". In surnames, 社 can sometimes be read mori, especially in combination with other kanji, following historical/nanori patterns.

This name carries a religious/cultural nuance, suggesting a family tied to an Inari shrine.

Inari is primarily associated with the fox spirits (kitsune) as messengers.

Haku has been associated with the tanuki..

Ultio

Theme: not sure yet…

Enzo

Enzo (淵造) en 淵 means “deep pool,” “abyss,” or “deep water.” Often connotes depth, mystery, or solemnity. 造 (zō) means “create,” “build,” or “craft.” Frequently used in male given names.

1) Gemstones 💎

first of all, in those cases, the monsters you'll be going up against are going to be attacking you way more than you're going to be attacking them. so you're gonna need to boost your HP and defence, both special and physical.

this is why for your main (imma assume you have earrings/necklaces/rings/brooches/perfumes in which u can attach gemstones to), give each of your accessories a HP, SDEF, and PDEF gemstone. (health points, special defence, physical defence)

examples from my main card below.

now for your warding card.

u want as much attack power as possible, because u wanna deal a ton of damage when u can. so, get an ATK and a PATK/SATK. (attack, physical attack, special attack)

PATK -> for Physical Attackers. SATK -> for Special Attackers. (how to check: Characters -> Training -> Skills (next to Potential) -> on the top, it'll say either S. Attacker or P. Attacker )

now for the third gemstone. for this one, i recommend either a HP gemstone, or

INT if ur main is a S. Attacker

STR if ur main is a P. Attacker

i dunno why INT for S. Attackers and STR for P. Attackers; just says on the jp website 'recommend' 🤷‍♀️

again, example from my main card below. (my main is S. Attacker)

2) Special Attributes 🌟

as i said, WE WANNA RAISE UR ATTACK AND HP. so go for the attack and hp attributes. ATK for ur warding card, and HP for your earring/necklace/ring.

personally i tend to prioritize ATK more than HP.

for the PDEF, PATK, SDEF, and SATK in the perfume/brooch the jp website says smt about don't level up a specific kind for each attacker but. im kinda lazy so i just stopped leveling those up a while ago

3) OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF U SHOULD KNOW

Pick ur main. ONE. i cannot stress this enough. PICK ONLY ONE MAIN. because one strong main will get u further than two to three mains with meh power.

i highly suggest a SSR card for ur main. this is because SSR cards are sooooo much more powerful than SR cards in terms of basic attributes (at level 1, potency 0.0%, nothing equipped)

4) IF U DID ALL THIS AND STILL CAN'T SOLVE THE DAMN CASE

there is a last resort.

which is leveling up ur rank.

leveling up a rank reduces the amount of attack dealt on ur teams, and increases the amount of damage ur team deals on those cute/freaky monsters (anomalies?)

yep. so the chances of you winning will be significantly higher.

my suggestion is this: don't log in to the Campus as long as u can without exceeding 24 hours, and collect ur exp in one go. for players whose levels aren't that high, give it a good night's sleep. by next morning when u log in, ur rank has risen, and most likely you'll be able to solve the case.
