Summary
Saya, also known as Minatsuki, is a Sweeper who rescued an injured Train and guided him toward his future self. Although Train insists their bond was platonic, it was profound and might have evolved romantically given more time. The narrative gradually reveals her history alongside insights into Train’s traumatic childhood. She wields a Beretta 93R and utilizes a unique technique that involves ricocheting bullets at varying angles and speeds. In the anime adaptation, Saya appears unexpectedly on a rooftop, forming a brief but impactful friendship with Train that alters his perspective. She encourages him to pursue his own desires and live freely, inspiring him to defy Chrono’s commands and depart. Creed, who harbors an obsessive fascination with Train’s lethal methods, observes from the shadows. He eventually finds an opportunity to confront and kill Saya when Train is absent. Aside from timeline adjustments, the dynamic between Saya and Train remains largely consistent with the manga source.
