Direct Attack, commonly referred to as DA, is a group of protagonistic fiction in Lycoris Recoil. It's a secret organization tasked with crime prevention. This organization operates undercover using female agents known as Lycoris.
Overview[]
The police are responsible for ensuring public safety in Japan by detecting and preventing crimes in advance. Agents of Lycoris are sent to covertly eliminate those whose goal is to "disrupt society". This includes those who attempt terrorism, murder, kidnapping or arms trafficking. The DA does not pursue work in the private sector and works exclusively on domestic security issues.
This organization operates in complete secrecy. As such, police activities are outside the police's jurisdiction and the police are not permitted to interfere in their duties. Interactions with law enforcement agencies and civilians should protect the public's belief that the North Circle and the ruins of old radio towers, symbols of peace and tranquility, are responsible for maintaining Japan's position as a world security leader.
Structure[]
Lycoris[]
Lycoris is a group of all-female agents who work as field operatives for the DA. Their primary task is to neutralize potential threats to public safety, and they are authorized to use lethal force to do so. DA adopts, nurtures and trains all her Lycoris from an early age. Agents have high physical aptitude and proficiency with firearms. Lycoris wears a distinctive uniform consisting of a white shirt, blazer, bow tie, and skirt. This is because it was deliberately chosen to mimic modern Japanese high school uniforms and is the least alarming for the general public. Walnut calls it a form of "urban camouflage." Lycoris' uniform indicates rank, making her one of three.
The highest rank of Lycoris agents, characterized by their red uniforms. The 1st Lycoris reports directly to headquarters and acts as a field commander during tactical operations, overseeing a squad of agents from the 2nd Lycoris. The 1st licorice may also work more closely with his agent, his 2nd licorice assigned as a partner.
Second Lycoris agents, who are distinguished by their navy blue uniforms, operate under the orders and supervision of their superiors, the First Lycoris. Certain agents such as Takina and Sakura may be assigned to work with 1st as partners. 2nd Lycoris has no direct communication with her DA Headquarters.
Dressed in beige uniforms, the Third Lycoris has been shown to be heavily deployed to deal with potentially serious threats and is probably the most abundant rank agent.
Intelligence Division[]
At this time, not much is known about the DA's Intelligence Division. Unlike Lycoris, members of the Intelligence Division are not raised as orphans for adoption, but are made up of trained professionals like former member Mizuki.
