Date a live mobile game also features zako just like anime.
i enjoy playing the game. just wish that the anime itself had the zako moments much like the game does. if you treat the game as a parallel universe version of the anime, than the approach to the zako is a lot more "callous" about their lives. a spirit like Tohka shows up in the game, and the lives of the AST and DEM girls are thrown away in an instant. rather than just a small platoon of female soldiers who try to fight the spirits (unsuccessfully) with little to no actual casualties in the anime, they just die one after another in almost every effort to take out a spirit. good examples:
1. tohka and the player have their interaction in the ruined school, the AST shows up. and rather than origami taking on tohka herself, a few girls are "thrown in the meat grinder" before origami even enters the school to fight tohka.
2. yohino first escapes from the AST on her Angel after first meeting shido with little to no casualties in the anime, but in the game, she runs down a highway with roughly 40+ bitches running towards her and getting crushed (if it were realistic rather than mere gameplay), eaten, frozen, or just straight-up slaughtered. makes the game enjoyable for me. but, the fun is killed a little by the introduction of robot enemies in the later volumes of the game as well as the presumably "male wizards" (those seen with helmets on) fighting alongside the female DEM wizards in season 2 volumes and onward. in the game, only reason i can think of why there would be robots introduced later is because hundreds of bitches had fallen in battle during volumes 1 and 2 ALONE. about 300+ in just volume 2. so the robots would in some encountered, while backed up by AST troopers.
