After you clear Episode 5, you can pass a new bill in the Dark Assembly. If Meet A Super Idol(?)! passes, it unlocks a new destination at the Dimension Guide: Unending Concert. Asagi has returned to the Netherworld, and this time, it’s to make her musical debut.

Idol Declarations is designed to surprise you if you aren’t in the habit of thoroughly investigating a stage before you deploy. Three Morphing Heroes are hidden between the concession stands, and if you don’t notice they’re there, they can spring an ambush while you’re focusing on the enemies you do see.
The hidden Heroes all have the Heart of a Flea Evility, which boosts their Movement rate in exchange for turning them into one-hit wonders; any attack that hits a Hero with Heart of a Flea is an instant kill. This isn’t quite as big a drawback as it sounds like due to their gear, as all the Morphing Heroes on this map are wearing three pairs of Ninja Tabi and thus have ridiculously high SPD. They may manage to dodge a few hits before you can pin them down, and they’ll be receiving fire support from their Thief buddies all the while.
The six Heroes on the other side of the concession area are marginally less mobile, but they have the Rapid Movement Evility, so it’s difficult to hit them. Expect to miss a lot on this stage, and consider bringing Lanzarote or a Lantern to buff your team with Target Lock.
One trick on this stage is, if you can manage it, to let your lowest-level units score the kill on the Heroes that have Heart of a Flea. Even if a unit does zero effective damage, that’s enough to drop the Hero due to the Evility, and that can be worth several levels to a character that’s still below level 20.

Super Debut Project
| Class | Lv | Qty | Evility | Weapon | Armor | Skills |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asagi | 35 | 1 | Never Give Up: during a Combo, will perform another attack. | Dead Chaser | Dandy Gown, Cross-Trainers, Spirit Muscle | Cameo Storm, Tri-Burst, Dark Matter Ether, Point Blank Blaster, Icicle Sword Gun, Rapid Launcher |
| Geo Symbol | Geo Effect | Destroy |

| Null | Ally Lonely | Clear |

Longtime NIS America fans know that fights with Asagi are often anticlimactic, as evidenced by the artwork shown on the big screen, and this one is no exception. She has taken up a position on the main stage in the Sea of Gehenna, where the local Geo Symbols force you to confront her one-on-one.
This will not be a big deal.
The side paths to the stage are blocked by No Entry zones and the Ally Lonely Geo Effect prevents you from throwing more than one character onstage with Asagi. She’s content to harass you with her Gun, and Asagi does have a couple of unique Skills and a high Counter rate on her side, so shooting back at her from the stands tends to end badly. If you send in someone like Laharl or Etna to smack her a couple of times, though, Asagi won’t last long.
When you defeat Asagi, she joins your party once again. She begins her tour of duty with a Dead Chaser, Dandy Gown, and Plastic Nose equipped, and fits neatly into a role as a support character. Her Evility, Never Give Up, is actually very useful for adding damage to Combo Attacks. Asagi’s recruitment also unlocks the How Asagi Got Her Groove Back Trophy.
You cannot return to either stage in the Unending Concert after you’ve cleared them. To get all three potential Map Events in this Detour, you either need to start a second cycle or destroy the Geo Symbols onstage before you defeat Asagi.
