Anti-Spirit Team (AST)[]
The Anti-Spirit Team (
The AST has access to its own hospital that secretly uses Medical Realizers (
As a result of DEM manufacturing their Realizers, the company has a degree of control over the AST. Westcott was even rather casually able to change Origami's removal into house arrest through the bribe of a new Realizer model. The company was even able to personally mobilize the AST to defend its Japanese headquarters. DEM Wizards also had access to AST facilities and equipment. [3] However, due to DEM's indifference to civilian casualties and Origami and Mana's warning, the AST members ultimately chose to rebel against DEM and side with Ratatoskr during the Game Over Timeline.
After the entire year without any Spacequakes, the future need for the AST was called into question by Ryouko, who noted that they no longer had any Spirits left to fight against. However, Origami reassures her former teammates that the Realizer is a priceless tool for national security purposes as a deterrent against other countries. Therefore, those compatible with such a tool would be highly valued and their positions should remain secure from that alone. [4]
