versus

The Neo-Humans (新 (しん) 人 (じん) 類 (るい) Shinjinrui?) are a race of humans with advanced physical and mental capabilities and one of the different species and thirteen natural enemies featured in Versus, inhabiting Neo-Terra.

Biology

Neo-Humans look roughly the same as old humans in terms of appearance. However, they universally appear young and beautiful, similar to well proportioned dolls. Their eyes are usually hollow and colorless, however a small group has colored ones.[1] They show complete disdain to old humans while torturing them both mentally and physically and think highly of themselves,[2] merely treating other natural enemies as toys.[3]

Overall Strength

The physical abilities and intelligence of Neo-Humans far surpass those of regular humans whom they call Paleo-Humans, which is demonstrated when they are confronted by the Titans, fighting them as a collective and felling an unprepared one within seconds with actions quicker than what could be processed by the titan. The Neo-Humans possess what could be described as eerily identical fighting styles. Every one seen so far carries a kind of knife as basic equipment, which are used to great effect by prioritizing their enemies' weak points. Without any discussion among themselves, they decide to dedicate themselves to and assist each other with climbing the body of an especially large opponent to lacerate the foe everywhere at once. Being able to keep a stoic outlook even when on the brink of death, they do not seem to react to pain, and even their children are battle-ready.[4]

History

Background

Before the series' events, the Neo-Humans mutated into a strange form of human at some point, then returned to subjugate old humans.[5] They tortured old humans and enjoyed seeing them fall into despair as their plans failed.[6]

Introduction Arc

At the interworld meeting at Humanity's Fortress, the Neo-Humans were briefly mentioned by Heidi as the Paleo-Humans' Natural Enemy.

Titans vs The Neo-Humans Arc

Ario and Riam lead the Titans to the Neo-Humans' city,[7] resulting in a clash between the Neo-Humans and the Titans. Tragically, Riam is killed by a Neo-Human. After Ario's intense battle against both sides, he is eventually captured by the Neo-Humans. Despite suffering significant losses, the Neo-Humans do not consider the situation grave enough to warrant serious concern. Their attention soon shifts when they encounter a parasite Titan, which excites them as they see it as a new "toy" to exploit.[4]

Demons vs Aliens Arc

When Daikokuzan annihilates a colossal warship belonging to the Madalans, resulting in a tremendous explosion, the rumbling was briefly noticed by Neo-Terrans.[8]

Demons vs Titans Arc

Galua and the other Madalan Team Leaders have a discussion on board the Madalan Mothership stationed in Earth's orbit. They discuss the danger the encountered natural enemies pose to them. For the Neo-Terrans, they were dismissed as not worthy of bigger attention, due to the aliens regarding their performance to be no different from normal humans.[9]
