'Rina Ishimori' (石森 里奈 Ishimori Rina) was a mysterious woman who gave Ban AX-00 in Danball Senki.
Appearance[]
She has long dark blue hair and brown eyes. She also wears glasses and often wears a purple shirt.
Background[]
She cares deeply for her little sister, Runa, who is hospitalized. She would do almost anything for her sister's sake, including murder or betrayal. This puts her at odds of whoever's side she's on but she's still willing to do the right thing.
Plot[]
Rina first appeared in episode 1 escaping from Innovator. Later, she's seen looking for Ban. After she found Ban, she gave him AX-00, fulfilling Junichirou Yamano's request and distracted the three agents who were looking for her, so that Ban could get away with AX-00.
In episode 7, Rina appears in a flashback, where she’s revealed to be Professor Yamano’s assistant before the plane crash. As the stewardess announces a change in the flight, she explains that they will be sent to a research institute, accurately predicting that the Innovators would lie to the public and confirm there was a plane accident. She tries to reassure Junichirou that the other scientists are aware of this. When he asks why, she promises him that his involvement will help save the world.
In episode 14, Rina reappears at Blue Cats Coffee where she reveals her name to Ban for the first time and the new Seekers are made aware by Takuya and Lex that she's an ally. She tells Ban again that she worked as Professor Yamano's assistant and has the data on the Yoshimitsu Kaidou's mansion in a USB flash drive. Ban agrees to have her join the field mission.
In episode 27, Rina returns, after a long disappearance, infiltrating the Innovator's main seashore base. A flashback reveals that her sister, Runa, in the hospital, who's in a bad condition. She sneaks into Yoshimitsu's room where and confronts him on his choice to not remove his blockade on allowing Optima to be administered into the medical field. She takes a gun and is ready to fire, but hesitates. Kaidou attacks her and a struggle for the gun commences, but she accidentally fires the shot into his chest. Horrified that she supposedly killed him, she leaves the office and sulks unresponsively in a corridor until Eiji Yagami finds her. Still guilt ridden, he carries Rina on his back and rushes to the Eclipse, where the Black agents are suprised to see her. Before she can answer them, Eiji orders Masashi to fly the ship, escaping from Innovator.
A flashback shows Junichiro, Rina, Takuya, and Lex attempting to create the Eternal Cycler that resulted in another failure, and that became her decision to convince Junichirou to enter the Neo Technology Summit, not knowing about Innovators' events until the revelations from episode 7 play out. Rina apologized to Professor Yamano for pushing him to attend, with her motivations at the time being to prevent the world from risking using its natural resources, forcing the starving nations to seek out global war, with the Eternal Cycler's completion being the solution to the world's problems.
Rina finishes the test for the cover shield of O-Legion’s successor with the other scientists and they begin the endurance ratio.
