Overview
The Coluccis Family is a powerful and illustrious gang organization based in the Bridge Crossing district of Hethereau. Led by Nanally Coluccis, the Ichi-daime (first head), the family is described as "the greatest family in the future of Hethereau." The Coluccis operate the Eibon Antique Shop, which sustains itself by taking on anomaly commissions from the public, blending legitimate antique business with anomaly containment work.
Despite the family's gang roots and street fighting traditions, the Coluccis are positioned as a heroic faction within NTE's narrative. Nanally's leadership combines street-level toughness with genuine care for her crew, and the family's anomaly operations have earned them a reputation as one of Hethereau's most effective containment forces.
Leadership
Nanally Coluccis
Nanally is the Ichi-daime (first head) of the Coluccis Family, making her both the founder of the family's current incarnation and its active leader. She is an S-Class Anima Esper who wields Fangs and Claws in combat. Her official character description paints her as "steadfast and dignified, generous and kind, wise and calm," though her spirited personality and street fighting background add a rougher edge to that dignified exterior.
Nanally is the first Esper of her family to manipulate supernatural powers, which positions her as a trailblazer who elevated the Coluccis from a street-level organization into the anomaly hunting world. She serves as the star attraction of the Eibon Antique Shop, the most renowned family head in the Bridge District, and a rising star Esper in Hethereau. Her English voice is provided by Brittany Lauda, who announced the role with the declaration: "The city's mine!"
Combat Legacy
Under Nanally's leadership, the Coluccis Family has participated in numerous major anomaly containment and nullification operations. Her combat record is described as undefeated across these engagements:
Operation | Details |
|---|---|
Danzaburou's Revenge | A major anomaly containment operation successfully completed by the Coluccis. |
Fluffy Demon King Showdown | Another significant anomaly nullification mission under Nanally's command. |
V-Class Wrath GR Cloud Crisis | A high-severity anomaly event involving a V-class threat, demonstrating the family's capacity for handling dangerous situations. |
Nanally's signature technique is the "Coluccis Ultimate Death Shadow Nether Punch," a move whose dramatic name reflects the family's flair for theatrical combat. The names of both the technique and the operations suggest the Coluccis approach anomaly hunting with a mix of genuine skill and self-aware grandiosity.
Nanally's Abilities
As an S-Class Anima Esper, Nanally fights using Fangs and Claws in a style that blends traditional Coluccis combat methods with street fighting techniques from Hethereau.
Ability | Type | Effect |
|---|---|---|
Colucci Secret Skill | Basic Attack | Up to 5 consecutive strikes using Fangs and Claws, blending family combat traditions with street fighting. |
Colucci Howling Technique | Skill | Deals 5 Anima damage instances in an area. Enters Ichi-daime's Authority state for 12 seconds, increasing critical damage and granting gravity-defying movement. |
Colucci Ultimate Technique | Ultimate | Deals 7 Anima damage instances to an area and summons the Underboss, who provides follow-up support attacks on single targets. |
Justice from Above | A roundhouse kick dealing 1 Anima damage instance to nearby enemies. |
Her Ultimate summons a companion entity called the Underboss, which follows up with Anima damage on single targets. The Underboss's name reinforces the family's gang hierarchy vocabulary, where Nanally is the boss and her summoned ally serves as her lieutenant in combat.
Eibon Antique Shop
The Coluccis Family operates the Eibon Antique Shop, located in the Bridge Crossing district. The shop serves as both a legitimate antique business and the family's base of operations for anomaly commissions. Eibon sustains itself by accepting anomaly commissions from the public, and it is where Esper Zero (the protagonist) is placed by the Bureau of Anomaly Control as their new Appraiser.
The Eibon crew includes members from both the Coluccis Family and affiliated individuals:

S-Class | Cosmos | The newest member; the player protagonist and Appraiser |
Bridge Crossing Base
The Coluccis Family is based in the Bridge Crossing district, the historic Old Town heart of Hethereau. Bridge Crossing's budget-friendly vibe, laid-back rhythm, and hidden lanes with independent shops provide a fitting backdrop for a family organization that mixes street-level roots with supernatural power. Nanally is recognized as the most renowned family head in the Bridge District, indicating that the Coluccis hold significant local influence in the area.
Trivia
The Ichi-daime title (一代目) is borrowed from Japanese yakuza terminology, where it designates the first-generation boss of a crime family. This framing gives the Coluccis a Japanese organized crime aesthetic.
Nanally's voice actress Brittany Lauda is known for her roles in anime and gaming, and her announcement tweet ("The city's mine!") captures Nanally's confident, territorial personality.
The operation names ("Danzaburou's Revenge," "Fluffy Demon King Showdown") mix Japanese folklore references with playful, over-the-top naming conventions, reflecting the family's theatrical approach.
The Underboss summoned by Nanally's Ultimate ability is named using classic gang hierarchy terminology, reinforcing the Coluccis' identity as a structured criminal organization that has turned its skills toward anomaly containment.
Nanally's birthday (August 20) falls under the Leo zodiac sign, traditionally associated with leadership, confidence, and charisma.
