Saburōta Bandō

is a member of Homura and a childhood friend of Shouhei Akagi.

Plot
Homura launches an "investigation" into one of the gang leaders in the city, who currently resides in a hotel suite; planning to extract information from him regarding an attack on one of their own members.

Bandou is placed in Izumo's team, where they break into the building from the inside. They are successful in their mission, allowing Yata to fulfill his, and afterwards they wait inside for Mikoto and Anna. Once the two appear, Anna does her mind-reading on the gang leader but cannot find any valued information from him; disappointed, Bandou and the others head back to the lobby.

While in the lobby, they are confronted by SCEPTER4, and soon after they engage in combat. However, the results of the fight leave Mikoto arrested and jailed, while Bandou and the others are safe. It is not long until Shouhei discovers a male teenager who appears to be their main target, and alerts the rest of Homura. Bandou is among those who leave in pursuit of the white-haired male.
