Chronology[]
Toaru Anbu no Item[]
Enemy Item Arc[]
- Main article: Enemy Item Arc
This section requires expansion Verify if present before encounter with Mugino[1] |
Around the time of Item's infiltration of the Colosseum on July 7th, Erina had somehow ended up a contestant and was saved by Mugino Shizuri from a white tiger while Mugino was pursuing members of the Enemy Item, being yelled at when she tried to thank her as Mugino resumed her pursuit.[10]
Honey Queen Arc[]
- Main article: Honey Queen Arc
This section requires expansion General/specific expansion[2][3][4][5] |
On August 5th, when Kinuhata Saiai infiltrated one of the illegal casino run by Honey Queen's support organization in School District 22 as a new employee, she was tasked with helping a manager dispose of Erina, who had been caught after posing as a visitor.[2] Erina had been unaware that it was a casino, having been investigating tax evasion through unreported income. Having heard of a large safe being transported into a defunct bowling alley, she was given the job to investigate what was going on with some Anti-Skill officers supposed to be supporting her (Kinuhata suspected that they sent her in without telling her the risk). Although she was after the illicit money safe and didn't get any details on the people, Erina managed to extract data from the office computer but didn't have time to read it.[3]
After speaking with Erina, who provided her with the small flash drive she had concealed with the data from the computer,[3] Kinuhata managed to fake her death and free her with help from Frenda Seivelun, who had also infiltrated the casino staff.[3][4][5]
Dark Justice Arc[]
- Main article: Dark Justice Arc
This section requires expansion Minor expansion/refining[8][7] |
Following Erina's casino mission and the fact that she had recently been hanging with high school Judgment members, her friend and fellow Judgment member Minamioki Sarusa felt that she was being left behind and sought to complete a big job to prove herself.[8] At the same time, the influence of the science cult Ark of the Electronic Sea was working its way into their school, with several students stopping attending and Sarusa learned of a connection to School District 4's Clone Complex.[8]
Erina attempted to dissuade Sarusa from following the lead to the dangerous cult, telling her it was too dangerous and a job for the adults in Anti-Skill, while Sarusa considered it Judgment territory given the cult affecting their school and countered with the fact that Erina had gone undercover into an illegal casino on Anti-Skill's request.[8] Sarusa also believed that since Erina's Precognition wasn't showing her anything, just as it hadn't for the casino mission, she would be fine as well, something Erina did not agree with.[8] Despite Erina's efforts, late in August, Sarusa would attempt to infiltrate the Clone Complex, but was caught and sacrificed by the cult's leader,[11][8] her death triggering a Number 000 on the parties present.[11]
On August 29th, Erina was with Konori Mii and Yanagisako Aomi, attempting to find Sarusa, the group having supposed to meet on the upper deck of a subway station for their patrol. She was recognized by Item, who were riding the other way on the escalator and acted to avoid a potential encounter, with the Judgment girls distracted by a firecracker surreptitiously thrown by Frenda.[12] Item would later see the three putting up missing posters and appealing for information about Sarusa's whereabouts on August 30th,[9][13] before Item themselves learned of the death.[11] On August 31st, the three were forced up in the middle of the night by news that members of Judgment had been defeated, unaware of the true nature of Branch 000.[7]
Abilities[]
Erina's esper ability is Precognition (
Erina cannot choose what to see with her power, which prevented her from finding her friend or avoiding trouble during her Colosseum and casino infiltration missions.[9] Konori mentioned that she once said that she predicted a giant meteor crashing into the Earth 30,000 years in the future, but a small thing she did changed that future to avoid it, meaning she then had no way of knowing whether the original prediction was correct.[9]
Another downside is that her power apparently can't protect anyone other than herself, as shown her power did not tell her about what would happen to her friend Sarusa when she attempted to infiltrate a dangerous cult. While Erina was aware that her power wasn't as convenient as her friend thought and didn't trust it, Sarusa trusted it, belieiving that Erina didn't have any scary predictions about her casino job and because of that got out fine, so since Erina wasn't having any that time she would be fine too. Not dissuaded by Erina, Sarusa would soon be proven fatally mistaken.[8]
As a member of Judgment, it can be assumed that Erina received the basic training that members have to undergo.
