Personality

Zenko is just as strong-willed and headstrong as her brother, but dislikes violence. She is caring and very protective of her brother. In addition, she is quite fearless as she was willing to go into an evacuated city during a monster crisis and was unafraid to stand up to Garou. Like her brother, she's very hot-headed, to the point of even arguing with Garou despite risking both her life and her brother's.

When Metal Bat is about to hit Garou, she shouts, "Big Brother!". Noticing that his sister is here, he stops his swing centimeters away from Garou's face. Garou takes this opportunity to punch Metal Bat and before the two could clash again, Zenko jumps right in front of Metal Bat and covers him in a protective stance. She then risks her life for her brother and tells Garou about her promises with Metal Bat. Garou listens, respects her wishes and accepts her persistence for anti-violence. He then quickly makes up an excuse and leaves the siblings alone.

After a brief conversation with her brother about how she knew where Metal Bat was, Metal Bat tries to go back to fighting Elder Centipede. Frustrated that she is unable to convince him otherwise, Zenko smacks him on the back of his head, which unintentionally knocks him unconscious. She then tries to drag her brother home.
