Summary
Daiya Irma serves as a Processor within the Spearhead Squadron, boasting an elite four-year tenure on the Eastern Battlefront that has earned him the personal moniker Black Dog. He and Anju have shared a bond of close friendship since their conscription into the same unit. Despite his veteran status, Daiya is prone to finding himself in awkward or uncomfortable predicaments, a fact highlighted in Volume 1 when he accidentally intrudes on a group of girls bathing in a creek, only to be met with a barrage of thrown objects. Beneath this clumsiness lies a tactful and compassionate nature. He offers comfort to Kurena when she grows frustrated by Lena’s unsolicited interference during squadron downtime. Anju also remembers a time in their first squadron when Daiya complimented her hair, fully aware that she was letting it grow specifically to conceal her scars.
