Gameplay

Well, Kisaragi.... I hope you were watching me out there!

Ogata, after a successful mission.

Nenji Ogata is Sentinel No. 10's pilot, a 1st Generation Model. Like all 1st Generation models, his role is to take the fight to the kaiju right in their faces. What makes him stand out from Hijiyama and Sekigahara is his emphasis on chaining kills, a more potent Rush Attack, and a Hyper Condenser that improves his Demolisher Blade. The improved blade now hits in a wider area and has more attacks per swing at the cost of more EP. When paired with Limiter Removal and his brutal swinging techniques, he can continuously clear and attack an army of kauji before some of them can get an attack out. This also makes him an excellent candidate for All-In rush attacks where consistency and being with a team doesn't affect his damage output. The decreased cool down when hitting kaiju with Rush Attacks makes him good for baiting and killing Drum Mines.

Nenji has the highest speed but the lowest defense out of the three 1st Generation pilots. He has more HP than Sekigahra, while possessing more EP than Hijiyama. Seeing Kisaragi get hurt increases his attack power. Other than that, this rebellious youth is an uncomplicated pilot.

Being a 1st Generation pilot is hard with having the lowest defense. Great care must be taken when using Limiter Remover because he can't take as many hit as the others before going down.

Pilot Skills

• Level 05: I Die Hard - Withstand a killing blow with 1 HP remaining once per battle.
• Level 10: That All You Got - WT recover speed increases when defeating a kaiju.
• Level 15: C'mon C'mon! - Rush Attack power increases whenever the attack hits kaiju.
• Level 20: Don't Mess With Me - Automatically counterattacks all nearby kaiju after taking a certain amount of damage.
• Level 25: Now I'm Mad - Attack increases when HP decreases.
• Level 30: Get Away From Her! - Whenever Kisaragi is attacked, Attack significantly increases.

Etymology

• The name Nenji means "harvest" (稔) (nen) and  "two" (二) (ji).
• Nenji's surname Ogata means "thread" (緒) (o) and "person, side" (方) (kata/gata). 

Trivia

• Nenji Ogata refers to Tomi Kisaragi by her nickname, Usami, in the epilogue. George Kamitani says that it's because of how he's gotten closer to her, and suggests that they've become a bakappuru. Bakappuru (バカップル) is a portmanteau of baka (stupid) and kappuru (couple), used to refer to couples that are so madly in love, it leads them to do stupid or shameless things (e.g. flirting in public, being in their own world, etc.).
