Saizo is a playable character from Soul Hackers 2.
Appearances[]
Design[]
Saizo is a lanky young adult with asymmetrical lime green hair, gray eyes hidden by his bangs, and shark-like teeth he refers to as "sexy." In the rare instances where his eyes are uncovered, only the left one is shown. He wears a white suit with black lapels and champagne-colored swirls on his left arm and right leg, a purple vest and black undershirt, a white bowler hat with a blue band and red-black feather, a yellow tie fastened with a chain, a blue chest harness and possible holster, black and purple shoes, and white and gray striped socks. In addition to the blue belt in the waistband of his pants, he also has one slung over his hips. He accessorizes with a beaded bracelet on his wrist, cyan gloves, and a scarf made of fox fur.
His COMP has a smile with sharp teeth painted onto it, six yellow stars on the stock, and a shark head charm with an orange scuba tank.
Personality[]
"Well, there you have it. That basically sums up how my big death scene played out. Like always, I figured I'd just roll over and stay out of Phantom's way. Except, well, you can see how that turned out. For guys like me, once you get on the bad side of any real power players in the city, it's game over."
As a freelancer, Saizo gets along with everyone and is generally friendly and laid-back. Quick-witted and a romantic at heart, he splurges on high-end goods because he recognizes the dangers of being a Summoner and how fleeting life is. He is secretly careful and worldly due to the kill-or-be-killed nature of the Summoner world, though he thinks of himself as a "coward" when praised by Ringo. He masks his feelings with smiles and jokes, but sometimes it drops to reveal the tired man he's become since the Summoner lifestyle started to wear him down.
Due to his job as a freelancer, he views information as metaphorical armaments, which he can use as a shield for himself or ammo against others.
This, according to Saizo, is why he fell in love with Ash—because they both had the same vision in mind. This is also why he would eventually settle on a modest life as a freelancer. However, Saizo would eventually realize that in spite of their genuine love for one another, it was put solely on the mutual understanding that they both just wanted to be free from the world, with Saizo eventually making his mind to have the two of them start over and leave the past behind them.
Saizo genuinely wishes for a world where he and Ash can leave the past behind them and "live in a world of light," especially when they're both haunted by "Summoner's karma," which involves their inevitable retribution for all the lives they've ruined in their duty. Saizo would however be criticized by Figue for not listening to Ash's own wishes, and in spite of their mutual understanding, he assumed that she wanted the exact same thing he did.
Profile[]
Soul Hackers 2[]
Saizo is a freelance Devil Summoner. His starting demon is a Hare of Inaba, and his COMP is called "Tommy Gun." Saizo's playstyle emphasizes Gunfire and Force skills. His high speed also helps him support the team with healing skills and items.
Saizo met Ash during a one-off mission from the Phantom Society, after which they became romantically involved and absconded together. However, because they would forever be hunted down by Phantom, and because neither could fully give up on being a Summoner, Ash broke off the relationship. Wanting to start anew, Saizo jumped at the opportunity to reconcile with Ash after she called and asked to meet with him. By this point, Ash is once again aligned with the Phantom Society. Acting as bait under the condition that Saizo be unharmed, she agrees to convince Saizo to give up his Covenant. Unbeknownst to her, a Covenant cannot transfer to another body unless its original host is dead. Zenon kills Saizo on Iron Mask's orders, leaving Ash guilty and traumatized.

- Furthermore, Saizo says during a hangout event that the COMP's custom design is inspired by one of his favorite movies.
- Saizo is younger than Milady and shorter than Arrow.
- In his shocked sprite, the bottom of his eye is slightly visible when he blinks.
