Escape From Tarkov: Streets of Tarkov Map Guide

Od: RJ Go

One of the additions to the hardcore First Person Shooter (FPS) extraction shooter provides some interesting shooting combat and traversal.

Streets of Tarkov map

The Streets of Tarkov map was introduced in the update 0.13.5 of August 2023 and featured a large, partially ruined city map that introduced the first non-player-used vehicle in the form of an armored personnel carrier (APC) that can ferry players from one side of the map to another in relative safety. 

This map challenges the players about their gameplay tactics and their close-quarter combat (CQC) skills as map knowledge for this map is less useful (except for spawn point locations) due to the number of possible entry and exit points for both players and their enemies.

Map Design and Description

Streets of Tarkov map design

First off, this map is noticeably dividable into six (6) major zones within its borders, which are the following:

  • The Concordia/Construction Site zone is located on the southwest side of the bottom portion of the map.
  • The Old Factory/Rodina Cinema zone is located on the southeast side of the bottom portion of the map, adjacent to the zone mentioned above.
  • Pinewood Hotel/City Center zone, located on the central southeast side of the map, just below Klimov Street, is one of the major roads intersecting the whole map.
  • Klimov Shopping Mall zone, located on the right upper southeast side of the map, is near both Klimov Street and Primorsky Avenue, where the main road intersection is located.
  • Cardinal Apartments/City Expo zone, located on the left upper southwest side of the map, is adjacent to both the Klimov Shopping Mall zone and the Post Office/Residential zone.
  • Post Office/Residential zone, located on the central southwest side of the map, wherein the location of the old SCAV/APC spawn point was located.

As previously mentioned, two main roads cross the map: Klimov Street (running horizontally) and Primorsky Avenue (running vertically).

The southern part of the map has more side roads than the northern part. These roads connect the city center to smaller and private roads within each zone.

In addition to the surface-level routes, several subterranean and basement levels connect different zones, allowing players to traverse them. Various buildings, though limited, can also be entered and used as hiding spots or sniping positions.

Map Spawn Points

Streets of Tarkov map spawn points

Initially, the Streets of Tarkov map had 27 spawn points, with some located inside buildings or underground basements, mostly around the outskirts of the city.

After several patches and redesigns, the map now has 39 spawn points, more evenly distributed across the six major zones. Previously, areas like the Klimov Shopping Mall and Cardinal Apartments/City Expo zones had fewer spawn points, creating challenges for players.

Understanding where to spawn and how to safely exit your spawn point are crucial strategies for surviving longer on this map.

Map Features

Streets of Tarkov map features

Just like any other map in the game, the Streets of Tarkov map hosts several features like loot locations and bosses. Aside from those major features, there are some other features that a player should know about when playing through this particular map.

Mounted Stationary Weapons

There are two types of stationary mounted weapons that any player can use: AGS-30 30x29mm automatic grenade launchers, which are highly effective when used correctly, and NSV “Utyos” 12.7×108 heavy machine guns, which can easily mow down enemies.

These weapons are primarily found in The Concordia/Construction Site zone, particularly in and around the LexOs car dealership, which serves as a stronghold for the map’s boss, Kaban.

Be aware that several areas of the map, especially around Kaban’s base, are filled with claymores. Additionally, Border Snipers ensure that no player can leave the map without using the extraction points.

BTR-82A Patrol

This map features an APC taxi service using a BTR-82A equipped with a 30mm 2A42 Autocannon, capable of quickly dispatching enemies. Players can use the service to safely travel anywhere on the map.

The BTR-82A can transport up to 4 players at a time, with costs varying based on faction, Scav karma, Charisma level, and distance.

The APC becomes hostile only if attacked first or when another player purchases the “Covering Fire” service, or if the player is a traitorous Scav. The “Covering Fire” service provides temporary protection, making the BTR-82A hostile to enemies until the player is dropped off, at which point it returns to neutral.

BTR-82A Patrol Stop Locations

Currently, the BTR taxi service offers six (6) pick-up/drop-off locations (the yellow spots with red text in the image above) within the map, which are the following:

  • City Center
  • Collapsed Crane
  • Old Scav Checkpoint
  • Pinewood Hotel
  • Rodina Cinema
  • Tram

The BTR-82A will stop for two minutes for each stop and will honk twice ten seconds before leaving the stop.

BTR-82A Item Extraction

Finally, the BTR taxi service also offers an item extraction service that can be accessed through the BTR-82A’s trunk. The trunk size depends on the player’s Scav karma, and the items extracted from this service will arrive at the player’s mail after an hour in-game time.

Map Bosses

The map features two bosses: Kaban and Kollontay.

Kaban is located at the LexOs car dealership in The Concordia/Construction Site zone. He wields weapons like the Kalashnikov PKM and PKP 7.62x54R machine guns or the RPK-16 5.45×39 light machine gun, depending on where he spawns. He is protected by bodyguards Gus and Basmach, along with 2 to 3 snipers and four heavily armed guards.

Kollontay is a roaming boss who can appear at either Klimov Shopping Mall or the Ministry of the Interior Academy. He carries a PR-Taran Police Baton, a Kalashnikov AKMN 7.62×39 assault rifle, and a Lebedev PL-15 9×19 pistol, aside from other weapons. His guards are equipped with submachine guns, shotguns, and both frag and flash grenades. Approach both bosses with caution.

Extraction Points

There are 17 extraction points that a player can use to exit the map once their objective has been completed (i.e. loot hunting or quest cleared, etc.) or if they simply just want to leave the map altogether.

Do take note that some specific extraction locations have certain requirements to be used, just like in any map in the game.

[SCP 1471] “MalO Calloway” Identity Unveiled

Od: RJ Go

“Avoid downloading this from the App Store or else get MalO’ed.”

Secure. Contain. Protect. – That is the motto of the secretive organization called the SCP Foundation lives by. The SCP stands for “Special Containment Procedure” wherein it captures and studies various beings related to the paranormal, supernatural, and anomalies within their numerous hidden and restricted sites across the globe. 

The organization named the beings it encountered as “SCP” followed by a designation number. Since its inception, the Foundation has contained numerous SCPs, such as SCP-1471. Called “MalO ver.1.0.0” in the Apple App Store for its iOS devices with the app description “Never settle for these awkward feelings of being alone ever again,” this SCP tends to target its victims who have used the app on their devices for too long until suddenly the user simply disappears from existence.

What Is SCP-1471?

SCP-1471 was officially classified as a “Euclid” anomaly and named “MalO ver.1.0.0” after its app name from the App Store when it first mysteriously appeared online without prior notice.

It has been targeting app users who have shown cases of loneliness whether due to failures in the user’s relationships (i.e. romantic and social), ones who are just simply bored or curious, have viewed or downloaded it wrongfully, or those who are avoiding the FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) trend once gossip of the anomaly’s mysterious app gained notoriety through word of mouth and online.

The being that it spawns for hunting and making its target “disappear” from existence is classified as SCP-1471-A, nicknamed “Capone” in other sources, which at first faintly appeared in a few select photos sent by the app and eventually became fully visible to the user until their final moments before making the user mysteriously disappear from reality altogether.

Description and Explanation

SCP-1471 is described as a free app in the Apple App Store, being sized at 9.8 MB in total. It hooks its victims with its catchy catchphrase (see mentioned above), while promising to be ad-free while ensuring its users will not feel lonely or even isolated as the app will send automated, human-like messages and responses.

The malicious app has no listed developer and somehow managed to bypass security checks before being uploaded and listed in the App Store seemingly overnight. The app also can mysteriously avoid being deleted/uninstalled by the user or via an automated app manager.

Once installed, affected devices are classified as SCP-1471-#, and will not show any icons or shortcuts on the infected device’s app drawer and home screen. At first, the app will send text messages every 3 to 6 hours within 24 hours after its installation, with images related to the locations that the user has commonly frequented containing SCP-1471-A, faintly visible in most of those photos.

Capone will either appear in the foreground or background of the images throughout the app’s lifetime activity and after 48 hours from the app being installed, the images sent will be on the locations recently visited by the user. After 72 hours, the images sent would show Capone within the near vicinity of the user until its final moments.

Meanwhile, SCP-1471-A (Capone) is described as an androgynous humanoid cryptid that can stand on its hind-like yet humanized legs, with its body covered in thick black fur that is animal-like, long black hair and a wolf-like skull with sharp fangs and teeth for its face, with white, pupil-less marble-like eyes. Weirdly enough, many people who became fans of Capone have tended to recreate the SCP as a sexualized female furry in many artworks and in other forms of media such as games, ditching its original androgynous look.

Containment Procedures for SCP-096

Standard containment procedures for SCP-1471 start with confiscating all SCP-1471-#, wherein all infected devices will be analyzed for potential leads in tracking other possible infected devices. Once all infected devices are accounted for and confiscated, all batteries will be removed and will be placed in Storage Unit-91 at Research Site-45.

Meanwhile, all online application stores for mobile devices are heavily monitored to avoid the selling of infected devices containing SCP-1471. A self-uploading will be used to target suspected infected devices to be disabled and seized by undercover SCP field agents.

Conclusion

SCP-1471 shows how vulnerable the human psyche can be when faced with loneliness and isolation from its fellow humankind. It is also one of the few SCPs that directly involves itself with human technology – the smartphone, and other similar devices that can download the malicious anomaly disguised as a harmless, trend-chasing app.

The public should be more vigilant when it comes to dealing with such applications and files they can find on the internet to avoid being victimized by this particular SCP.

[SCP 096] “The Shy Guy” Secrets Unwrapped

Od: RJ Go

“Never look at this being’s face if you want to live.”

Secure. Contain. Protect. – That is the motto of the secretive organization called the SCP Foundation lives by. The SCP stands for “Special Containment Procedure” wherein it captures and studies various beings related to the paranormal, supernatural, and anomalies within their numerous hidden and restricted sites across the globe. 

SCP

Source

The organization named the beings it encountered as “SCP” followed by a designation number. Since its inception, the Foundation has contained numerous SCPs, one of which is SCP-096, codenamed “Shy Guy” inside the organization. But don’t take his name for granted, as it could be the end of you.

What Is SCP-096?

SCP-096

Source

SCP-096, officially classified as a “Euclid” anomaly and codenamed “Shy Guy” by many working inside the Foundation, is a being under the Foundation’s captivity. The being is known for being docile when left alone, but once someone sees its face, it will start wailing creepily, almost human-like, and then enter into a raged frenzy.

In that state, the being will do anything to murder and tear apart the one who saw its face. It will leave no traces of its victims once it is done. It was only contained when a lone survivor of a containment team, avoided eye contact with Shy Guy and told the organization not to look at its face.

Description and Explanation

SCP-096, a.k.a.. Shy Guy is a humanoid-like being with an approximate height of 2.38 meters. Its body is noticeably thin, almost skeletal in appearance. After observation, it was deduced that the being suffered from mild malnutrition.

Both of its arms are out of proportion compared to its body, approximated at 1.5 meters each, allowing Shy Guy to reach anything it wants with ease. It has no noticeable body hair and its skin color is greyish-white, devoid of pigmentation. Its eyes have no pigmentation, resulting in a bleach-white color with no visible pupils, confusing researchers if the being is blind. Its jaw can open wide unnaturally, up to four times that of a normal human.

As mentioned earlier, Shy Guy is usually docile and stationary, spending most of the day pacing by the eastern wall of its cell. That changes if someone views its face directly or through a recording or photograph, becoming extremely distressed. Afterward, it will cover its face, then scream, cry, and babble incoherently for a few minutes. Suddenly, it will enter into a raging frenzy state, running towards the individual who saw its face, being designated as SCP-096-1.

Rushing toward SCP-096-1’s location, Shy Guy’s speeds vary from 35 km/h to ███ km/h, depending on its distance from its target. SCP-096 becomes an unstoppable moving force, as nothing can impede it and will destroy everything in its path. Regardless of SCP-096-1’s position, the initiative ability of Shy Guy to locate its target will render hiding from its frenzied state useless until SCP-096-1 is ultimately killed.

All cases involving SCP-06 show that no trace of SCP-096-1 remains at a 100% rate. Afterward, SCP-096 will sit for several minutes before calming down and returning to its docile state. It will then attempt to return to its natural habitat, [DATA REDACTED].

The risk of a mass chain reaction with SCP-096 is very high, alongside the potential breach of Foundation secrecy, and significant civilian casualties. That retrieves Shy Guy an Alpha priority within the Foundation’s containment procedures. Dr. ███ has petitioned for SCP-096’s immediate termination (see Interview 096-1). The termination order has been approved and will be executed by Dr. ███ on [DATA REDACTED]. See Incident-096-1-A for more information about the termination.

Containment Procedures for SCP-096

SCO 096 Container

source

Standard containment procedures for SCP-096 are for the being to be contained in a reinforced containment cell, measuring 5 m x 5 m x 5 m in a cube shape. Its containment cell will be airtight and made of steel, wherein weekly mandatory checks are established to check for cracks or damages. The cell will have pre-installed pressure sensors and laser detectors, while the inside will be virtually empty.

Any photos, videos, and recordings of SCP-096 and its likeness must be eliminated, and only having access approval from Dr. ███ and O5-█ can a personnel view such media of Shy Guy.

Conclusion

SCP-096 remains a huge mystery for the SCP Foundation as they’re still unaware of Shy Guy’s origins and how to eliminate the anomaly, as it is invulnerable to the most up-to-date human-made weapons in our time. Perhaps the only way to truly get rid of this particular SCP is via the otherworldly abilities of other SCP beings within the Foundation’s captivity.

For now, SCP-096 should be kept away and hidden from humanity until the secretive foundation has found a way to truly eliminate it.

Tyler “Ninja” Blevins Net Worth and Gaming Gear

Od: RJ Go

Richard Tyler Blevins also known as “Ninja” to most of his followers and the gaming world, is a well-known Twitch and Mixer streamer, internet personality, and YouTuber. 

 

The 30-year-old streamer was born in the City of Detroit, Michigan, and raised in the Chicago Suburbs. His parents were of Welsh Descent and his father Chuck Blevins is the one who introduced Ninja to games.  

 

Ninja started streaming games like Halo 3 and entering into small-scale professional competitions while he was studying at the Wisconsin Silverlake college. 

 

Since those early days, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has come a long way and his channel on Twitch is the most followed channel on the platform as of October 2021. He has a total of 17 million followers on Twitch which is an achievement in and of itself. 

 

That’s not all though as his YouTube subscribers far exceed those on Twitch as he has a total of 24 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. 

 

So, without further ado, Let’s take a look at what the Tyler “Ninja” Blevins net worth is and how it came to be, in the article below. 

Ninja Net Worth

Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has been participating in pro gaming competitions and streaming his gameplay on Twitch since 2011. 

 

His success in pro competitions hasn’t always been guaranteed, thus he’s won some and he’s lost some. What has been guaranteed though is that his wealth has kept increasing during this time. But what exactly is Tyler “Ninja” Blevins’ net worth? 

 

Well, as of October 2021 his net worth is $40 Million. The bulk of his earnings or income has come through streaming his games on Twitch and the Microsoft-owned Mixer. 

 

The lowest subscription on his Twitch is the $5 tier for a month, from which he reportedly earns $500,000 to $1 Million per month. 

 

Add to that his brand endorsements, sponsored streams, sponsored videos on his YouTube channel, and direct ads by YouTube themselves. With all that, it should come as no surprise to anyone that his net worth is what it is today. 

 

Ninja started out streaming battle royale games like H1Z1 and PUBG (Players Unknown Battlegrounds), but the game that’s brought him most success and is his definitive “main” game is Fortnite. 

 

For the past few years, he has been streaming Fortnite exclusively on his Twitch channel, and seeing how good he is at the game and the success he’s earned from it, we’d say that was a pretty inspired move.

Ninja's Career Highlights and Achievements

After graduating from Grayslake Central Highschool, Ninja started pursuing a career as a professional gamer and streamer. He started out playing Halo 3 professionally in 2009. 

 

After witnessing his amazing gameplay Ninja was invited to be a part of various gaming organizations including Renegades, Cloud9, and Team Liquid. 

 

During his time with them, he quickly transitioned into battle royale games like H1Z1 and PUBG. As recently as 2017 he joined Luminosity Gaming and won the PUBG Gamescom invitational squads’ classification in August 2017. 

 

However, things changed for him for the better when later that year a new battle royale game Fortnite came out and he started streaming it exclusively on his Twitch channel. His meteoric rise to success coincided with the game’s success and he was ranked as one of the top players of the game. 

 

Blevins even set the Twitch record for the largest concurrent audience for an individual stream when he played Fortnite with world-famous rappers Drake, Travis Scott, and footballer JuJu Smith-Schuster in March 2018. Due to this event, his followers on Twitch grew from 500,000 to 2 million. 

 

Just one month after, he broke the Twitch viewing record again, this time his own, due to his online mega-event Ninja Vegas 2018. Furthermore, Ninja also partnered with RedBull Esports in the same year. 

 

His success in 2018 doesn’t end there either because in September he became the first Esports player to grace the cover of ESPN The Magazine. 

 

However, in a shock move on August 1, 2019, Ninja, who had the most followed active Twitch channel at the time, moved to the newly started streaming platform Mixer. 

 

Sadly, Mixer’s success paled in comparison to Twitch and the streaming platform had to shut down soon after its inception. 

 

Although Ninja was paid a handsome sum of money by Mixer for his troubles, to this day Ninja hasn’t been able to regain all of his Twitch followers on his YouTube channel that he had back in the day. 

 
  • 5th-8th - Valorant - $10.00 (2021): Community Gaming Premier Series #1
  • 7th - Fortnite - $5,000.00 (2021): Streamer Bowl II ft. Fornite - Playoffs: Week 4

  • 1st - Call of Duty: Warzone - $6,666.66 (2020): Warzone Wednesday Week 3

Ninja's PC specs and Gaming Gears

This is the section most of you gaming enthusiasts were looking forward to. We will now discuss the PC specifications and Gaming Gear of Ninja in detail to figure out the secret for his success in games like Fortnite and Apex Legends.

 

PC Specifications

Ninja is considered to be one of the top streamers today and is something of a modern-day icon in the gaming world. 

 

With this overwhelming success has come tons of wealth and it’s only natural that he spends some of this wealth on his overall gaming and streaming setup. 

 

If we had to sum it up, then the total worth of his entire gaming gear would be close to $14000 – $15000.

 

Let’s first take a look at the specifications of his gaming PC.

Final Thoughts

Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is definitely still one of the top streamers in the world today and if he continues in this vein then the Ninja net worth is set to increase even more.

More recently he’s shifted his focus from Fortnite to Apex Legends and Valorant and we hope he can attain the same amount of success he’s earned playing Fortnite.

However, that doesn’t change the fact that Ninja will go down as one of the best players and streamers of Fortnite in the game’s short history.

Shroud’s Net Worth and Gaming Gears

Od: RJ Go

Shroud, whose real name is Michael Grzesiek in real life, is a well-known streamer and a former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive professional player. The 30-year old Canadian was born in Toronto but is known to be of Polish descent. Shroud net worth and gaming gears are considered to be interesting topics among gamers, especially those who are devoted followers of Mixer and Twitch. Shroud began exclusively streaming on Mixer in October 2019, which puzzled some of his fans because it was just the second most followed channel on Twitch during that time.

Shroud net worth and Shroud gaming gears have substantially improved through the years, and his fans and followers are witnesses to this gamer’s rising success. Shroud usually plays a variety of games on his streams but he actually leans on games with first-person shooters and battle royale games. His most played games include Escape From Tarkov, Apex Legends, CS:GO and PUBG. Shroud has also allotted a lot of interesting streaming hours into World of Warcraft, GTA V and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

Shroud Making A Name For Himself

Shroud started to make a name for himself when he became part of the CS:GO team of Cloud9 in 2014. One of his major contributions to the team was helping them win ESL Pro League season 4 against SK Gaming, bagging $200,000 for him and his teammates. Shroud left CS:Go and Cloud9 in 2018.

What is Shroud's Net Worth?

Gamers, both young and old, are quite curious about Shroud’s ever growing net worth. The young Canadian has been actively gaming and streaming since 2014 and it would be not surprising if Shroud already has millions under his belt. To be more exact, Shroud’s net worth is around $8-12 million. Majority of Shroud’s net worth or income comes from his streaming career on Mixer and Twitch, plus additional revenues from sponsored streams, ads, subscribers and ads. Sponsorship deals and YouTube revenue also contribute to Shrouds ever growing net worth.

Shroud's Monthly Earnings

The majority of Shroud’s income comes from streaming. If we’re going to give a conservative estimate, Shroud’s monthly income from Twitch would have to be around $80,000 from subscriptions alone – this could be higher depending on the revenue and sponsorships, depending also on the percentage sharing with the company.

During his time on the rival platform, Mixer, his following is relatively smaller than the massive followership he has established on Twitch. However, his earnings are still expected to match that of Twitch or even greater, considering that he may have been given a lucrative contract that made him transfer to Mixer.  But Mixer ceased operations shortly and he came back to Twitch.

Now that we’re done with Shroud’s net worth and road to streaming fame, let’s move on to Shroud’s gaming gears. Amateurs and veteran gamers alike are quite curious on what gaming gears Shroud is using and might even be enticed to purchase them to experience professional gaming feels.

Although using the same set-up and gaming gears that Shroud is using won’t guarantee that you can play as good as him, it’s pretty fun to emulate his gaming set-up just for the heck of it. Let’s start with:

Shroud PC Specs

As expected, Shroud gaming setup has a high spec streaming setup that costs around $6,000-$7,000 in total. Shroud’s gaming PC has an Intel Core i9-13900K processor and his graphics card is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Add to that a 32GB XPG Lancer with 6000MHz and a ASUS ROG Maximus Z970 Hero for his motherboard. All of these brands and specs make up for a beast gaming PC that’s packed in his build from MainGear .

Shroud Gaming Gear

After getting an overview of Shroud’s streaming set-up, which is quite impressive by the way, let’s move on to Shroud’s gaming gear. Shroud is using ASUS ROG Swift PG32UCDM for his monitor, a mechanical keyboard from Logitech G Pro X Mechanical GX Red Shroud Edition and a wireless gaming mouse, the Logitech G303 Shroud Edition.

For his headset, Shroud uses Logitech G Pro X 2 and supplements it with the Shure SM7B microphone to record his voice during streaming. Take note that he doesn’t actually use the microphone of Logitech G Pro X 2. For the webcam, Shroud uses the Sony Alpha A6000 with Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN.

For his office chair, you may be surprised that Shroud is not using any kind of gaming chair. This popular gamer is actually using an office chair Herman Miller x Logitech G Embody. Yes, you read that right – Shroud is using an officer chair instead of DX Racers or noblechairs.

Characters in “Parasyte: The Maxim” (Humans and Parasites)

Od: RJ Go

Body horror? Check. Gratuitous amounts of gore and violence? Check. Psychological horror? Check. Fans of Junji Ito’s work will love this series about aliens taking over human hosts.

Imagine a parasitic alien race that suddenly descended to Earth one day without warning. That is the sudden reality that Shinichi Izumi has to face when a Parasite miserably fails to take over his mind and becomes part of his right hand instead.

Unable to relocate and find a new host, the Parasite now named Migi by Shinichi, is forced to rely on and co-exist with him. But thanks to Migi’s infection on his right hand, he can use the Parasite’s abilities to get them out of sticky and often deadly situations.

Now that Migi failed to take over a host’s brain, fellow Parasites see Migi as a threat and the unlikely duo must face other Parasites and infected hosts for their lives. Shinichi must now balance his regular life and the parasitic life of his alien partner for them to survive their new reality.

The Notable Humans

Shinichi Izumi

Our main protagonist and one of the few infected hosts resisted being taken over by his Parasite, Migi and now co-exists with the alien in a rocky way. Using Migi’s abilities, Shinichi wants to protect his fellow humans like a superhero, while keeping his infection a secret to avoid being killed or becoming a lab specimen.

The Parasite - Shinichi Izumi

Over time, he becomes highly efficient at dealing with Parasites, thanks to the mutation of his cells due to Migi’s infection, giving him heightened abilities and senses against Parasites. He goes to South Korea and helps Jun-Kyung and his Team Grey to get rid of Parasites.

Satomi Murano 

Satomi is Shinichi’s love interest, being romantically attracted to him despite being best friends thanks to the latter’s kind and sensitive nature. However, their relationship is almost broken when Shinichi becomes cold and distant when infected with Migi, trying to keep Satomi out of harm’s way from the Parasites.

Satomi Murano  - The Parasite

And despite knowing the truth behind Shinichi’s infection with the Parasite, her feelings and support towards him didn’t wane, becoming stronger, saying that his humanity remained even after being infected.

Mamoru Uda

Another human host wherein the Parasite failed to take over his brain, Mamoru is a gentle, friendly person who becomes nervous under pressure and highly emotional, whether fighting other Parasites or facing complicated things in his daily life. His parasite is attached to his mouth and lower jaw, unofficially being nicknamed Joe by the fans (due to the word Joe sounding like Jaw in Japanese, referencing the “Jaws” movie).

Mamoru Uda The Parasite

Despite his peaceful and easygoing nature, since he’s just like Shinichi, he often finds himself in deadly fights against fellow hosts with hostile Parasites. And just like in Migi’s case, the other aliens consider Joe to be a threat as well, putting Mamoru at a disadvantage since he isn’t like Shinichi with heightened senses and abilities.

Takeshi Hirokawa

Acting as the second major antagonist in the latter part of the story, Takeshi is the ringleader of a Parasite conspiracy group who later becomes the Mayor of East Fukuyama City. Using his position and power, he funds both resources and his political understanding so that his conspiracy of the Parasites taking over humanity can be realized.

The Parasite - Takeshi Hirokawa

Due to his hatred of humanity, he wants the Parasites to become successful in their conquering, dubbing them “Mincemeat Murderers” and wants to streamline the process of mass murdering humanity by using them and their abilities.

The Notable Parasites

Reiko Tamura

An intelligent Parasite driven by scientific inclinations to learn more about her kind, she originally infects a female human named Ryouko Tamiya, one of Shinichi’s teachers in his high school. Wanting more about her race, she intentionally gets pregnant with a human baby after assuming herself as Reiko Tamura in the latter half of the series, joining Takeshi in his plans and his conspiracy group.

Reiko Tamura - The Parasite

However, she had a change of heart after giving birth to her baby and developing maternal instincts for it. That change resulted in other Parasites in Takeshi’s group targeting her when she doubted their plans. Now considered an enemy, Reiko kills most of them in Takeshi’s group after escaping, believing that Parasites can peacefully co-exist with humanity.

Gotou

Hosting five parasites in his body (Miki being his main Parasite and four others), Gotou is considered the strongest Parasite that invaded Earth. With the aid of Miki, Gotou can freely control the other four Parasites in his body, transforming most of his body mass into Parasite tissue. That makes him the strongest and most violent of all the aliens, despite being the most intelligent host.

Gotou - The Parasite

He hunts humans merely for sport and is initially Takeshi’s right-hand man and easily overpowers Shinichi and Migi in their first encounter. Despite being a cold-blooded killer, he has somewhat of a code of honor as he wants to exact vengeance against Shinichi for killing Miki’s kind earlier in the series.
