This is Kamachi Kazuma.

This time, it’s December 31, the countdown to the end of the year!! From the moment the word “countdown” came to mind, I knew the story had to be set in either Shibuya or New York! And since I hadn’t resolved the 49-yen New Year’s Tokyo survival life within GT5, I decided to make it a part-time job story. From that starting point, I built up a story that could fit the main theme I wanted to do: What are the members other than Alice like and how strong are they?

Shibuya appeared in Intellectual Village and was passed through in Boo Boo. I honestly went back and forth a lot on whether I wanted Kamijou running around Shibuya or Akihabara. They’re polar opposites! I think it would have been entertaining in a different way to have Aradia and the Bologna Succubus jumping between Akihabara’s buildings. But I went with Shibuya because I preferred the idea of no one noticing the danger even though two strangely-dressed magicians are slinging extreme spells at each other in an ordinary city. I will let all of you decide if I made the right decision there.


This one revealed that the Transcendents of the Bridge Builders Cabal are all magicians strong enough to rival the entire magic side and their goal is to make the world a better place. But if you compare them to the Magic Gods who are satisfied creating an ideal world on their own, you can see how they have basically min-maxed their diffusion and destruction skills. The irritating thing for them is that they can destroy everything with ease, but they can’t remake it all afterwards. They’re so reluctant to play their one and only card that they were even caught in Othinus’s destruction of the world and killed. (Because if the Transcendents had killed Othinus in that dark space, they couldn’t have remade the world like she did.) With that in mind, can you see why they’re so terrified of Alice whose innocence makes her impossible to predict? She has the destruction button right in front of her, after all.
