The wildly popular smartphone app game "Idolish Seven" is a male idol training game that's hugely popular among women. It combines storytelling and rhythm game elements, making it popular with a wide range of audiences. Its anime adaptation has also garnered rave reviews, with a second season scheduled for broadcast in 2020. While "Idolish Seven" features a variety of idol units, one recently formed in the main storyline, "ŹOOĻ (Zuuru)," has been generating a lot of buzz. This article will introduce "ŹOOĻ."
What kind of unit is ŹOOĻ?
"Tetrarchia, of madness and destruction." This new idol group debuted under Tsukumo Production and appears in the third act of the main story. All members have some kind of connection to IDOLiSH7 or TRIGGER, and many even harbor grudges against TRIGGER. They're all harboring negative feelings, and they were brought together through a common interest.
Are they trying to destroy TRIGGER?!
They're actually trying to destroy TRIGGER. They plan to destroy TRIGGER first and then shake up the idol world. Unlike the typical "goody-goody" idol group, this new group attracted a large fan base immediately after their debut.
ŹOOĻ Member Introduction Part 1☆Ikiyo Yu
He's the vocalist of the group. His sweet face is his selling point, but he's actually a self-centered high school student who doesn't accept those who don't accept him. He attends the same school as Iori and Tamaki, and is actually their classmate. Tamaki says he's "always alone," and the same can be said for Iori. He was originally one of the idols trained by Takamasa Kujo, but Kujo called him a "failure." As a result, he holds a grudge against Kujo and Kujo Ten, and is hostile towards them. He always makes provocative remarks towards TRIGGER, but is frustrated when they calmly defeat him.

ŹOOĻ in Part 3 and ŹOOĻ in Part 4
ŹOOĻ first appeared in Part 3. They were portrayed as complete villains, trying to bring down IDOLiSH7, TRIGGER, and Re:vale. They are a new idol group created by Tsukigumo Ryo of Tsukigumo Productions. The group was portrayed as quite unpleasant to the main idols, which apparently put many fans off.
But in Part 4...
However, in Part 4, everyone's image changes completely. Originally, the members of ŹOOĻ were formed out of a shared interest, and they didn't seem interested in each other. However, around this point, they gradually began to express concern for each other. And, surprisingly, they even began to grow closer to IDOLiSH7 and Re:vale. From this point on, their popularity skyrocketed. They discovered the true joy of music. Their fan base has skyrocketed, and we're excited to see what happens next.
[Idolish Seven] ŹOOĻ Introduction Summary!
That concludes our introduction to "ŹOOĻ," the unit from "Idolish Seven"! We've learned that each character is unique and harbors negative emotions like hatred and sadness. While they do have their own dark side, as the story progresses, we see them gradually becoming more positive. All four of them are incredibly cool, and their music videos and other content are truly impressive, so we're sure they'll become even more popular when they appear in the second season in 2020. I'm really looking forward to what happens next. Thank you for reading this far.
