OVA
Description
Hikari Jinno, also known by her alter ego Jiburiru Aries, is the main protagonist of the second season of the anime. She is the younger step-sister of Naoto Jinno and first appears when she comes to visit him. Her background establishes a deep, often possessive affection for her brother, which becomes a central aspect of her character and the story's progression.
In terms of physical appearance, Hikari stands 158 centimeters tall, with her birthday falling on April 10th. Her personality is characterized by a sweet but often jealous disposition, particularly regarding her brother's relationships with other women. Despite this jealousy, she is driven by a strong will to protect those she cares about. This sense of duty is what pushes her to accept the role of a Devil Angel after she witnesses the defeat of the original Djibril, Rika Manabe. As the only person available to take on this responsibility, she is recruited by the angel Luvriel to rescue Rika from the clutches of the dark forces.
Her central motivation throughout the second series is to save Rika. This selfless goal, however, is deeply intertwined with her feelings for Naoto, as the very method of transforming and gaining power necessitates intimate contact with him. Hikari willingly offers herself for this ritual, driven by her love for her brother and her desire to help him recover from the sadness of Rika's kidnapping.
Hikari's crucial role in the story is to be the successor to the fallen Djibril. As Jiburiru Aries, she becomes the primary fighter against the forces of evil, including the corrupted Rika known as Dark Jibril. Her key relationships are predominantly with her brother Naoto, whom she supports and loves, and with the captured Rika, whom she strives to rescue. She also works alongside the angel Luvriel, who guides her as a Devil Angel.
Throughout the series, Hikari shows significant character development. While initially just an affectionate sister visiting her brother, she matures into a determined hero willing to sacrifice her own well-being. This arc takes a darker turn in the third series, where she is abducted by demons. Much like Rika before her, the good within her is extracted, and she is transformed into her corrupted persona, Dark Aries. In this state, she gains a unique power to control minds and becomes a major antagonistic force. However, even under this controlling influence, Hikari exhibits a notably strong will; she is capable of breaking free from the mind control multiple times and, in some versions of the story, can summon a powerful Super Nova style attack even while nearly completely corrupted. Her resilience distinguishes her from her predecessor, highlighting her inner strength.
As Jiburiru Aries, her notable abilities are tied to the concept of Amore, the energy of love, which she requires to power her transformations and attacks. As the Dark Aries, her signature ability is mind control, a power she uses as a tool for the demonic forces. Her journey from a lovestruck sister to a captured and corrupted angel showcases her as a central figure defined by her deep bonds and her fight against a repeating cycle of darkness.
