Think of it as a Faust and Wright mix. He's Wright in my mind that he finds sentimental items. He's Faust in the sense that the items are RNG. If you collect 3 different sentimental items in a row, if Noboru can land a hit on an enemy with a certain move he powers up insanely. But if you find two of the same item or a non sentimental item, the counter starts over. He has about 1.5 times the health and damage of Wright without the power up, and gets the same multipliers with his power up. The Maya part comes in with Aiko, who trips up trying to protect his brother.

That's how I envision it anyway.
