Dila

Dila is one of the more enigmatic characters seeded into Ananta's promotional material. Community character databases list her as an announced playable role, but her sheer scale of power, specifically the ability to control meteors and take on a giant form, sets her apart from the game's more grounded urban cast.

Overview

Dila is confirmed by current community data. The event appears to be one of the larger Chaos incidents in the game's backstory, the kind of catastrophe that motivates the task force the player's Captain leads. Her investigator framing suggests she is looking for answers about the disaster, though multiple sources note that "the fate of the city and its inhabitants is largely in her hands," a phrase that carries a deliberately ambiguous tone regarding her motives.

Abilities

Two Dila-specific powers are documented across sources:

• Meteor control. She can manipulate meteors, which community write-ups frame as high-damage area-of-effect output. Whether she summons meteors, redirects existing ones, or both has not been clarified in detail.

• Giant transformation. She can assume a giant form, greatly increasing her physical scale. This transformation is one of the most unusual mechanics previewed in trailer footage and far exceeds the power level of the game's more conventional street-level fighters.

These abilities are shown in trailer footage and distinguish her from the rest of the characters with a much larger scale of power. A caveat from the writeup notes that it is not clear whether she always had this power or whether she gained it as the story progressed, which keeps open the possibility of a tragic origin tied directly to the meteor event she investigates.

Appearance and Design

Community references and art reference databases consistently describe Dila with the same design cues:

• Long white hair, swept so that it falls over one eye

• Heterochromia, with one orange eye and one purple eye

• A diamond-shaped hair ornament

• A bodysuit paired with detached sleeves

• Black gloves, high collar, and a choker

The silhouette reads deliberately "otherworldly" compared to the grounded looks of other Ananta cast members, reinforcing the mystery-and-power angle of her profile. The heterochromia in particular has made her one of the most distinctive characters in early promotional art.

Story Role and Speculation

Coverage of Dila notes that the early previews "give the impression" that she might serve as an antagonist. This framing is speculative rather than confirmed: the same sources hedge by saying the fate of the city is in her hands, which can read as either hero or villain depending on context. Her investigator status for the meteor disaster would normally align her with the A.C.D. (Anti-Chaos Directorate), but no official material confirms a formal affiliation.

Status and Playable Standing

Dila was among the Project Mugen era character profiles that had their pages pulled from the official Ananta website during the September 2025 update, ahead of the Tokyo Game Show 2025 gameplay reveal. Community wikis still list her as an announced playable character, but she was not part of the four-role lineup in the January 2026 Closed Beta Test. Whether Naked Rain plans to reintroduce her in a later test, reveal her in a reworked form, or cut her entirely has not been addressed on record.

Quick Reference

What is Not yet Known

How Dila's meteor abilities translate to in-game mechanics, her background before the disaster, her potential role in the A.C.D. (if any), and whether her giant form is a playable transformation or a story-only setpiece are all undisclosed. Her voice actor, faction alignment, and connections to other named characters (if any) remain unconfirmed.
