Blue Archive, the hit mobile game from Yostar (the creators of Azur Lane and Arknights), casts players as a teacher in Kivotos, a sprawling academy city where students with glowing halos need guidance both in and out of the classroom.

Kanoe Itagaki is a popular voice acting student at Wild Hunt Academy of Arts who already has professional gigs under her belt. She’s also the oldest member of the Occult Research Society. With her tousled hair hiding one eye, her wide gaze, and flat, monotone voice, she gives off a chilly first impression… but don’t be fooled. Kanoe loves to tease her friends, like Rena Kinui, and her teacher with clever pranks, using various voices and her eerie presence to spook them. Her biggest dream? To rekindle her bonds with her teacher from a past life, where she swears they shared a special connection. Using her occult knowledge, she chases that goal with vigorous determination.

Blue Archive, the hit mobile game from Yostar (the creators of Azur Lane and Arknights), casts players as a teacher in Kivotos, a sprawling academy city where students with glowing halos need guidance both in and out of the classroom.

One of those students is Shirao Eri, a painting major at the Wild Hunt Academy of Arts and the quirky president of the Occult Research Society. With her towering witch’s hat, floor-length hair, love of tarot and arcane tomes, and habit of calling her teacher “Master,” Eri brings a mystical flair wherever she goes.

Though talented, Eri often feels overshadowed by her classmates. Still, her belief that occult power can boost her talent in art and her grades keeps her spirits high. Her innocence, eccentricity, and unwavering faith in the supernatural make her beloved among fans.

Blue Archive, a free-to-play tactical role-playing game developed by Nexon Games for mobile, recently celebrated its fourth JP anniversary on February 4th, 2025. This anniversary has turned out to be full of exciting updates for Blue Archive fans, especially those who have been eagerly awaiting the addition of certain NPCs as playable characters to the game. One of those characters is Tsukatsuki Rio, who, following Yurizono Seia, has finally been introduced as a playable character!

The main story of Blue Archive revolves around Sensei’s journey—the player’s character and main protagonist—as they travel to various schools in Kivotos to assist the students with their problems, occasionally getting into (mis)adventures along the way.

One of the characters players can meet in this game is Tsukatsuki Rio. The student council president of Millennium Science School, Rio can be stoic and ruthless due to her tendency to value facts over emotions, a trait that puts her at odds with the other students and instills terror in them. While her approach of always doing “what’s most rational” often leads to criticism, she also has a protective and nurturing side that becomes apparent in her interactions with certain people. Due to her prioritization of strength and power over aesthetics, she is known to be obsessed with designs that are considered outdated—although one might argue that they’re merely a little “avant garde.”

Due to this combination of intriguing characteristics, Tsukatsuki Rio is having a moment on pixiv! Take a look below to see some of the best fan art featuring her!

It’s not easy to be a teacher, let alone one tasked with advising multiple military academies in a city where there’re thousands!

That’s the situation you find yourself in when playing Blue Archive after the sudden disappearance of the person who summoned you to the city of Kivotos. You play Sensei, who must help the students of the city solve the mystery of her disappearance, resolve issues that arise in the city, and support your students as they navigate their school days.

Welcome to the final installment of our Blue Archive series!

Let’s start with the Red Winter Federal Academy, where the slightly dysfunctional student council, made up of Cherino Renkawa, Marina Ikekura, and Tomoe Sashiro reign supreme, um, most of the time! Don’t forget about the exiled, er, suspended students Shigure Mayoi and Nodoka Amami of Class No. 227 or Minori Yasumori of the Public Works Department either! 

Meanwhile, over at the embattled SRT Special Academy, Miyako Tsukiyuki, Saki Sorai, Moe Kazekura, and Miyu Kasumizawa of the RABBIT platoon are holding strong even despite everything they’ve gone through… They’ll lend a hand, as long as you let them do it on their terms!

These last two schools are caught in complicated situations, but does that keep them down? No! Let these students from the Red Winter Federal Academy and SRT Special Academy show you what they’ve got!

Did you enjoy seeing all the fantastic fan art made for the students of Blue Archive? We hope it inspired you to check out this cute game and make some fan art of your own!

It’s not easy to be a teacher, let alone one tasked with advising multiple military academies in a city where there’re thousands!

That’s the situation you find yourself in when playing Blue Archive after the sudden disappearance of the person who summoned you to the city of Kivotos. You play Sensei, who must help the students of the city solve the mystery of her disappearance, resolve issues that arise in the city, and support your students as they navigate their school days.

What do you get when you throw a bunch of super-smart students in one place and let them be brilliant? The Millennium Science School, of course! Whether you’re working with Hibiki Nekozuka, Utaha Shiraishi, and Kotori Toyomi from the Engineering Club or Chihiro Kagami, Maki Konuri, Hare Omagari, and Kotama Otose from the hacker group Veritas, they’re way too clever to let you down!

Sumire Otohana of the Training Club is a bit of an outlier, preferring brawn over brains, but maybe not as out there as Himari Akeboshi and Eimi Izumimoto of the Supernatural Phenomenon Task Force. Those two have way too many secrets…

Nevertheless, these girls from the Millennium Science School are ready to help you get things done!
