Emblem
Arashiyama Squad's emblem is formed by five black pentagons forming a white star symbol, with a smaller star symbol inside each pentagon.

Background
When Arashiyama Squad was selected to be the PR squad, Kakizaki left it because he felt he was not worthy of being a part of them.

Introduction Arc
Arashiyama Squad was the one to respond to the neighbor attack at Osamu's school. Kitora later attempted to take down an Ilgar that attacked the city.

Black Trigger Capture Arc
Arashiyama Squad worked with Jin to prevent Kido's faction from taking Yūma's Black Trigger by force.

Border Enlistment Arc
New C-class trainees were orientated and managed by Arashiyama Squad.

Large-Scale Invasion Arc
Arashiyama Squad was the first to kill a Rabbit, with Yūma's help. Kitora accompanied Osamu to the Southwest district in order to protect the C-class members. The Squad received an Outstanding Service Award, worth 800,000 yen, and 800 points, for defeating Trion Soldiers in the emergence area and supporting Konami in the Southwest district.

B-Rank Wars Arc
Osamu expressed interest to Arashiyama Squad in learning how to fight on his own, rather than relying on Yūma all the time. Although Arashiyama didn't see the need for gunners and shooters to be able to take points on their own, he and Tokieda agreed to teach Osamu the basics. Later, while watching Osamu's humiliating defeat, they express concern over his self-esteem following it. Later, Osamu visits them for more training. Since Arashiyama was away, Kitora teaches him, but with some refusal because of Osamu's apparent arrogance. She teaches him about how to use Spider.
