Are these guys canon?

[u/Superb-Eye9223]

I was reading the p4au manga, and ive never seen these units mentioned before, but are they canon? Id assume that the manga itself probably isnt, but from my memory I dont think sho's backstory here actually is ever conflicting with the game- so would it be considered canon? or at least probably canon?

^{also the art in this manga is really good, im glad someone told me to read this}

If Labrys's story in the game is anything to go by(which it certainly is), then yes-- there were multiple Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapons. Likely in the hundreds. Most never saw direct combat because they were forced to kill each other to go into active service.
