- Iai Arthur (Quick Sword-Draw Arthur) (voiced by Sumire Uesaka)
- Nitou Arthur (Dual Swords Arthur) (voiced by Arthur Lounsbery)
- Touzoku Arthur (Thief Arthur) (voiced by Ayane Sakura)

In addition to this, the game has an assist system, similar to other games such as Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax, allowing the player to select “Support Knight” characters to help them in battle.
Million Arthur: Arcana Blood is set to launch in Japanese arcades sometime in the fall. Before that, the game will be playable at Taito’s booth at the 2017 Japan Amusement Expo this February 10 to 12. In the meantime check out some gameplay footage recorded off Square Enix’s Nico Nico stream.
