Suikoden V/The Oboro Detective Agency


Oboro

  • Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Much to Crow Raven's fury, as he can't tell whether or not he's being serious.
  • Atonement Detective: Used to be the head of Nether Gate's Intelligence Division, where he was known as Shinatsu. Following its disbandment, he took Sagiri and Shigure and has tried to give them a normal life
  • Cool Boat: Oboro's office is actually a ship that sails up and down the Feitas river.
  • Covert Pervert: Some of his observations are... questionable.
  • Cuteness Proximity: He trains mice to help him tail people. He has several mice working for him, but he never explains just how he trains them.
  • Defusing the Tykebomb: Has been working on this for Shigure and Sagiri.
  • Gotta Catch Em All: See below....
    • Guide Dang It: Recruiting him can be tricky; you have to make the 'correct' choices while helping him investigate Norden. Do the sequence correctly, and he'll join the first time you ask. For each point you miss/mess up on, however, you have to ask him an extra time -- and you can only ask at certain points in gameplay. Wait too long, and they leave the area for good before you can convince him.
  • Information Desk: His speciality - like Richmond before him, he can be recruited (for a small fee) to find out the whereabouts of as yet recruited characters, although a certain amount of Figure It Out Yourself is also required.
  • Knowledge Broker: Aswell as letting the hero know the location of potential recruits, he can also investigate current team-mates, offering fun trivia but also useful game information about pairings for unite attacks, for example.
  • Mind Screw: His entry in the official strategy guide:

"This is the type of thing you want to be doing. When and if you have the time and the inclination for such things. This is a great idea. Sometimes a pony gets depressed. Get a load of this view and it's the best in the west. All the young dudes carry the news. This is the type of thing you want to be doing. When and if you have the time and inclination"

Fuyo

Shigure

Sagiri

  • Badass
    • Back-to-Back Badasses; With Shigure in their Unite Attack.
    • Iron Woobie: Subverted. She's really an angsting badass who hates her psychological conditioning that made her a child assassin, but said conditioning prevents her from showing it. In fact, Shigure and Oboro are waiting for the day she cries.
  • Death Seeker: Wouldn't mind if Nakula kills her; if he dies in a war battle, she even writes to the Prince wondering why she didn't die instead.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: She does. It's revealed that the smile begins to fade after the events of the game.
  • Gotta Catch Em All
    • Guide Dang It: Notably won't join at the same time as the other members; she won't officially get her name on that Tablet unless the prince goes through another recruitment sequence that is easy to miss.
  • Please Kill Me If It Satisfies You - Says this to Nakula.
  • Meaningful Name/Theme Naming: Her name means 'light fog'.
  • Monochromatic Eyes
  • The Promise: A dark take. At the end of the game, Nakula promises he will return to Falena to kill Sagiri after dealing with the Nether Gate forces left in Nagarea. She accepts.
  • Psychotic Smirk albeit, unintentionally
  • Stepford Smiler: Was brainwashed to smile while she killed, and had it so severely drilled into her that she's always smiling.
