OVA
Description
Eika Ichijo is a 17-year-old female standing 162 cm tall, possessing black hair, black eyes, and blood type A. She holds the rank of Sergeant Major and commands the Sonic Diver Unit, piloting the Sonic Diver H2N3 Raijin armed with gatling guns, rocket launchers, and energy cannons. Her combat role involves spearheading tactical formations like the Delta Lock to destabilize and disintegrate enemy WORMs.
Her background features a strained relationship with her father, a high-ranking naval commander, stemming partly from his lack of support for her childhood dream of becoming a pilot. She pursued a military career independently, rising rapidly through sheer physical prowess and determination. Her transition to the Sonic Diver program followed a decisive defeat by one of the units during a mock battle while she was an accomplished fighter pilot, an experience that motivated her immediate volunteer transfer.
Personality-wise, Eika commands with serious discipline and projects a tsundere demeanor. She initially views teammates Otoha Sakurano and Karen Sonomiya with skepticism due to their perceived lack of discipline and experience. Gradually, however, she develops trust, offering constructive criticism and forging strong friendships within the unit. Her leadership prioritizes quick decision-making, fast reflexes, and high stamina, establishing her as the unit's most capable pilot. She adheres strictly to orders and protocols, yet openly questions command decisions when necessary.
Her character evolves from a solitary figure fixated solely on military excellence to a more open and supportive leader. She forms her first genuine friendships with teammates Otoha and Karen, influenced by their rapid progress and dedication. Off-duty, she engages in rigorous physical training—high-repetition pectoral exercises on a pec deck and jogging—primarily for fitness maintenance, not enjoyment. A notable personal preference is her fondness for expensive, high-quality chocolate, on which she willingly spends a significant portion of her salary.
Interpersonally, she navigates challenges with newer members like Elise von Dietrich, who initially clashes with her due to trauma-induced "selfish brat" behavior. Eika's leadership extends beyond combat; she sets examples in discipline and professionalism, earning peer respect who follow her guidance. Her background of self-reliance and sacrifice for excellence underpins her interactions, though she avoids leveraging her father's status for preferential treatment.
