"Dead Account" is a TV anime based on the "modern exorcism battle action" manga by Shizuka Watanabe.
Serialized in Kodansha's "Magazine Pocket," starting from Weekly Shonen Magazine Issue 7, 2023, with 12 volumes currently published.
This story begins with the question "What do you think happens to deceased people's SNS accounts?"
The accounts of the dead with lingering regrets (Dead Accounts) eventually resurrect as digital ghosts—Ghost Accounts (Bake-Aka)—into the living world.
Set in modern times where smartphones and SNS are commonplace, it depicts the battles of new-era spirit mediums confronting "digitized ghosts."
Original author Shizuka Watanabe is a popular manga artist known for "Real Account" and "Tricks Dedicated to Witches."
"The generational shift from analog to digital" is a major theme, with battles using the modern spiritual power "Denno" as the charm 🔥
① Fresh Protagonist Setting as a "Flame Streamer"
Protagonist Enjo Sori was active as a flame streamer "Aoringo" to earn his sister's medical expenses.
A character embodying the light and darkness of internet society growing as a spirit medium is must-see.
His Denno ability "Onipien (Demon Flame)" is literally his flame streaming turned into power 🔥
② Abilities Reflect How You Used SNS
Each character's "Denno" is greatly influenced by how they used their smartphones.
Flame types get "Onipien," politically correct guys get "Justice Hammer (Policore Hammer)," clingy girls get "Sticky Water Gun (Love Revolver)"—SNS behavior patterns directly become battle styles 📱
③ Fusion of Modern Themes and Classic Battle Manga
A classic shonen manga depicting hot friendship and growth while satirizing digital society's problems.
Packed with fears and empathy that only modern people familiar with SNS can feel.
The message "Your account might come back to haunt you too" is impressive 👻
④ Colorful Members of "1st Floor Class B"
Miden Academy's 1st Floor Class B is full of unique individuals.
Charming characters abound—Kasumiru the sharp-tongued class representative, Kiei the clingy band chaser, Renri the sarcastic childhood friend, Haijima the socially awkward gamer.
Their teamwork against Ghost Accounts is passionate 🔥
⑤ Passionate Performances by Super Stellar Voice Actors
A luxurious cast with Nobuhiko Okamoto as protagonist Enjo Sori, Kouki Uchiyama as Kasumiru Kukuru, and Fairouz Ai as Urushisukawa Kiei.
Plus skilled actors like Natsuki Hanae, Machico, Ryota Suzuki, and Takuya Sato 🎤
① Fate with "Lonely K"
"Lonely K," who killed Sori's beloved sister Akari, is a guru-like figure among Ghost Accounts.
K's goal is to kill humans, gather Ghost Accounts, and create a "Kingdom of Ghost Accounts."
Sori and K share a fateful connection using the same "Demon Fire"—pay attention to how it's portrayed in anime 🔥
② Heated Battles of the Class A vs B Competition
The competition between Sori's 1st Floor Class B and Class A is a highlight.
Especially notable is the confrontation with villain Togido, who burned Akari's memento.
Seizing victory through teamwork is the essence of hot-blooded shonen manga ⚔️
③ The Mystery of "Blood Tears" and "Blood Tear Accounts"
All victims killed by K shed "blood tears."
"Blood tears" contain abundant information about K, making collection missions extremely difficult.
Don't miss the battles with K's servants, the "Blood Tear Accounts" 💧
④ The Presence of Homeroom Teacher Azaki Yoimaru
Azaki Yoimaru, homeroom teacher of 1st Floor Class B, was called a "genius" spirit medium in his active days.
Now focusing on nurturing successors, he's a beloved character who's hopeless with digital things and has zero immunity to women.
Look forward to his actions as a reliable teacher protecting students 👨🏫
⑤ Assault by Extreme-Class Ghost Accounts Led by GARAN
Three extreme-class Ghost Accounts including K's closest aide "GARAN" invade Miden Academy.
Battles begin against Ghost Accounts with incomparable strength to previous enemies.
Look forward to powerful battle scenes in the anime 💀
① Flame Streamer "Aoringo"
Enjo Sori (age 15) was active as flame streamer "Aoringo" to earn huge medical expenses for his sickly sister Akari.
Though recognized as a troublemaker by society, he was actually a kind big brother who loved his sister and pudding.
Even if hated by all humanity, he was happy as long as his sister was well 💕
② Sister Akari's Death and Encounter with "Ghost Accounts"
One day, while Sori was enjoying SNS conversation with his sister, spirit medium Kasumiru Kukuru appears.
According to Kasumiru, Sori was communicating with his sister's ghost who died a month ago.
The deceased's SNS account (Dead Account) became a "Ghost Account," and his sister attacked in monstrous form 😱
③ Awakening to Denno and Enrolling in Miden Academy
During the battle with Ghost Accounts, Sori awakens to the spiritual power "Denno."
He enrolls in spirit medium training school "Miden Academy."
There he learns his sister was killed by extreme-class Ghost Account "Lonely K" and vows revenge ⚡
④ Demon Fire: A Cursed Flame
Sori's Denno is "Onipien (Demon Flame)"—a cursed flame that absorbs the life of anything it touches.
Shockingly, it was the same Denno as "Lonely K."
Sori's fate, possessing the same power as his enemy, begins to move 🔥
⑤ First Mission and Encounter with K
On his first mission to sweep Ghost Accounts at an electronics store, Sori immediately encounters "Lonely K."
However, he's defeated by the overwhelming gap in ability, keenly feeling his own powerlessness.
Saved by homeroom teacher Azaki Yoimaru, Sori is impressed by his strength and resolves to become stronger 💪
⑥ Fierce Battle in the Class A vs B Competition
To join K's exorcism operation, Sori's 1st Floor Class B faces the "Class A vs B Competition."
Opposing Class A includes villain Togido who burned Akari's memento—a battle they absolutely cannot lose.
Class B members' efforts defeat Class A one after another, but final enemy Akaban had sided with K and transformed into a Ghost Account ⚔️
⑦ "Blood Tears Exorcism" Mission and Alliance with the Academy's Strongest
Victorious Class B achieves "limited promotion" and takes on "Blood Tears" collection missions.
The one who designated Sori as partner was the academy's strongest fisher, Inutani Sogo.
However, they're once defeated by K's servant "Blood Tear Account's" overwhelming power 💧
