- Jashin-chan (?????)
- Voiced by: Aina Suzuki
- A self-centered serpent who was summoned from Hell by Yurine. She possesses regenerative abilities which allow her to revive herself after her actions lead to bloody vengeance from Yurine. Although it seems that Jashin is an absolutely immoral girl who manipulates Medusa or mocks Pecola without any regrets, at heart she is capable of good deeds and appreciates her close friends.
