| “ | In truth, humans don't need the gods. We don't need the meddling of the Gods of Heaven and not the help from the Gods of the Land either. Because humanity can stand on its own.

Sonoko Nogi started her career as a Hero in elementary school, fighting alongside Sumi Washio and Gin Minowa using Version 2.0 of the Hero System. She was one of the strongest of the Heroes, and their leader on the field. She proved very effective at this, despite her general airheadedness, as she was able to effectively make battle plans to down multiple foes with minimal damage. During this time, she grew close with her fellow Heroes. Gin's death was a major emotional blow to both her and Sumi, though they resolved to keep fighting. Their Hero System was given an update, to Version 2.5.
This version enabled them to use Mankai, which they didn't need for their first few battles. A massive Vertex attack forced them to, however, and Sonoko recognized its flaw quickly. After Sumi's second Mankai wiped her memories and made her unable to transform, Sonoko fought off all the invading Vertex by herself, going Mankai twenty times in total. This crippled her body, leaving her unable to move. During the battle, she also saw the true state of the world outside the Shinju's barrier. After she drove the Vertex away, the Taisha enshrined her, and the combination of this nearly broke her mind.
She manages to stay sane through sheer force of will, and eventually manages to call Togo and Yuuna to her side after a battle. She tells them the truth about the Hero System and Mankai, and invites Togo to where she is enshrined. Togo takes some time to process this, but accepts. There, she tells her friend about the world outside Shinju's barrier. Sonoko waits to see what Togo does, refusing the Taisha's pleas to stop her friend as Togo tried to destroy the world.
After Togo failed, and the Shinju decided to return functionality to the Heroes, Sonoko recovered her functions and joined Sanshuu Middle School, where she became part of the Hero Club. After preventing Togo fro sacrificing herself to end the war with the Heavenly Gods, she helps uncover some of the secrets behind the founding of the Taisha. She then fights against the Heavenly Gods and the Shinju, aiming to thwart the former's attempt to destroy humanity and halt the latter's attempt to force Yuuna into a child marriage with itself.
The Shinju reevaluates its priorities once again, giving Yuuna enough power to kill the Heavenly Gods and sacrificing itself to restore the Earth. Sonoko is talked out of leading a total coup of the Taisha, but instead does an internal takeover of the organization. With her as its new head, she steers it to work for the betterment of the people.
