He becomes Chika's protector after her older brother and his tutor mysteriously disappeared and joins Border to be better able to protect her, but the examiner instead suggests that he become an Engineer or Operator due to his low Trion. Unable to accept this, he tries to infiltrate Border's headquarters and negotiate with them, but after Jin saves him from a Bamster, he convinces Border to accept Osamu as a C-Rank trainee.

She has two side effects, one that allows her to sense the presence of approaching enemies, and one that hides her presence. Izumi refers to her as "Tamakoma's Trion Monster" (玉狛のトリオン怪獣（モンスター）, Tamakoma no Torion Monsutā), due to her huge amount of Trion, andin Season 2, she becomes known as "Tamakoma's Cannon".

He invited Yūma to join Border, and like Yūgo, his mentor Sōichi Mogami (最上 宗一, Mogami Sōichi) sacrificed himself to create a Black Trigger, which Yūichi competed for, and later gave it away so Yūma could officially join Border and Headquarters could recognize him as a Border agent.

Near the end of Aftokrator's invasion, Replica is severely damaged and Osamu throws them into Aftokrator's away ship and activates the emergency launch command. While this saves Osamu and Chika, Replica is unable to escape the ship. It is currently unknown if they survived.[5]
