—Missile

Spoiler warning!
This article contains plot details.

Missile is a major character in Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. Missile is a pomeranian dog belonging to Kamila and Lynne.

Plot[]

Missile is first seen early in the game (Chapter 2), after being killed by Tengo, who was looking for Lynne. He was saved by Sissel, and is the first character seen to be able to talk to him.

After Sissel leaves, Missile decides to follow Kamila, who had left to give Lynne a Music Box. He manages to open the door of the apartment eventually, and catches up with Kamila in the park. Unfortunately, he was hit by the scooter from one of the kidnappers, and died yet again.

Unlike previous time, Missile now has ghost powers of his own, as he died close to the Meteorite that unknowingly gave Sissel his powers as well. Missile is unable to perform ghost tricks, but instead he can swap objects that have the same shape. He initially uses this power to save Kamila, but accidentally kills someone else in the process.

Soon after, he is reunited with Sissel, and they use both of their abilities to save the other person. After this event, Sissel offers to save Missile from his own death, but Missile chooses to keep helping Sissel instead.

Alternative Timeline (Ray)[]

Main article: Ray

In an alternative timeline, Missile was killed by Tengo, who was never stopped by Sissel, together with Kamila in Lynne's apartment. This time however, Missile died in the presence of Yomiel, giving him his ghost powers.

Missile made his way to the Junkyard using the normal pathways, as he can not use the telephone lines. When he arrived, he heard about Lynne's death from one of the police inspectors. He also met with Sissel, who had taken the form of a red lamp.

As Sissel declined working together with Missile, the latter failed to save anyone. So all he could do was to go back in time, to the moment of Yomiel's death. He then waited 10 years until the same fateful day would happen. This time, he took the form of Ray, and decided to guide Sissel, so he would cooperate with him this time.

Personality[]

Missile is childish and overly enthusiastic usually, causing him to bark against almost anything that moves or makes noise. This often leads to the lady from next door pounding the wall to make him stop. He is also portrayed as caring, especially to Kamila and Lynne and is shown to be helpful, specifically when he gets ghost tricks of his own.

Missile is fiercely and utterly loyal to his two owners, especially Kamila. He was more concerned about Kamila's safety than his own death, and when he got killed for the second time, he declined Sissel's offer to save him so he can keep his Ghost powers to protect Kamila. He even at first refused to follow Sissel and leave Kamila and Lynne behind in a sinking submarine, fearing that their plan will fail and he will never see them again. It was only after Kamila's persuasion that he acquiesced.

Ghost Powers[]

Missile's ghost powers are significantly weaker than Yomiel or Sissel, as like his alter-ego Ray, he has a glaring weakness - inability to travel through telephone lines. His main ability, which is swapping two objects of similar shape, is not very useful by itself for saving lives. However, when joining forces with Sissel and later Yomiel, he proved in the end to be an indispensable part of the team.

  • Possession: Just like other ghosts, Missile is able to possess certain objects. His hopping range is three times longer than Sissel's, making him able to cover larger gaps.
  • Talk: Missile is able to talk to other ghosts and people who have died before, same as Sissel.
  • Swap: Missile can swap any 2 objects, no matter what the size or weight, as long as they have the same (or a similar) shape. This shape is dependent on the angle he is viewing that object. This is the only real ability he has besides turning back time to four minutes before a person's death.
  • Rewind Time: Like Sissel, Missile can rewind time to 4 minutes before the death of a person. However, he is unable to manipulate objects in order to prevent the person from dying.

Theme Song[]

His theme is "Missile ~ A Courageous Little Animal"

Trivia[]

  • Missile is named after writer Shu Takumi's real-life Pomeranian. A dog, albeit a Shiba Inu instead of a Pomeranian, appears in the Ace Attorney series (also written by Takumi) also bearing this name. Real-life Missile (and by extension, Ghost Trick Missile) is named after Missile from Ace Attorney. [1]
  • Missile is two years old, making him an adult pomeranian. However, he is considered a puppy by many characters due to his childish personality.
  • In the IOS version, Missile is the main character of his mini-game: Missile Omikuji.
