SHINC

SHINC (新クラ), short for Shintaisou Club (新体操クラブ), is a Squadron in Gun Gale Online, consisting of six girls from the rhythmic gymnastics club at a high school affiliated with Kohiruimaki Karen's university. The members of the Squadron participated in the first and second Squad Jam (SJ) in the game. The team ranked second in SJ1 and fourth in SJ2.

Background
In April 2025, at around the time Milana Sidorova, Annaka Moe, and Kusunoki Risa joined the rhythmic gymnastics club, the club's coach attempted to teach the girls techniques for their gymnastics performances through a FullDive simulator. However, due to their poor sense of teamwork, the girls would constantly fail the techniques. As such, the coach ordered the girls to improve their relationships in order to become an actual team before they could continue with the training. The girls decided that playing games would be a nice way to build their relationship, as they would be focused on the same goal, while their avatars would look different from their appearance in real life, allowing them to overcome real life constraints. Although the first game they tried did not hold their interest or help them with their goal, when the girls began playing Gun Gale Online, a game completely detached from their real lives, they soon became fairly engrossed in the game. Through their many experiences in that world, the members of the club were able to develop cordial relationships with each other despite their differences, solidifying their teamwork. The girls continued playing the game as much as their free time allowed, making it a regular part of their club activities.
