Project Noah is a scheme for world domination by The Committee of 300, funded by The Meiwa Party and the Cosmic Church of the Divine Light, and being carried out by N.O.Z.O.M.I..
Objective[]
The objective of Project Noah is perfecting the Noah II artificial Gigalomaniac device, so that the Committee of 300 can use mind control to control the entire global population through the process of realbooting and the use of porters to extend the effective range of the Noah II device worldwide after it is perfected. This not only would allow them to control all five senses of people, but also to control people’s movements and actions remotely.
Project Noah also involved less dangerous experiments, like manipulating GE rates in Shibuya to get people into lining up to buy new Gero Froggies every week, but even those experiments had a more sinister intention, namely perfecting the ability to brainwash large numbers of people without them suspecting anything, as part of a plan for world domination.
Awakening Gigalomaniacs[]
Part of developing the artificial Gigalomaniac device involves awakening Gigalomaniacs, since only after they are awakened can their CODE samples be extracted and fed into Noah II, which is necessary to make it stronger. This is usually done by torturing them, and facilities like Ark Heart Medical were used to do this. They also deliberately caused earthquakes to raise GE rates and speed up people’s biorhythms for the same purpose, and the biggest of these earthquakes, the Third Melt, killed thousands of innocent people at its epicenter in downtown Shibuya.
The New Generation Madness serial killings are also part of Project Noah too, conducted in order to force Takumi Nishijou to awaken as a Gigalomaniac because of Takumi's exceptional Gigalomaniac power, which meant his CODE sample could massively improve Noah II.
Development of the plan[]
In 1990s, Viktor Chondria University develops Visual Rebuilding technology, which becomes the foundation of N.O.Z.O.M.I.'s Project Noah.
In the early 2000s, the Ir2 equation on the original Takumi Nishijou’s grade school essay is discovered by the researcher Issei Hatano of N.O.Z.O.M.I., and its potential is recognized for Project Noah. N.O.Z.O.M.I., with the support of the Cosmic Church of the Divine Light and The Meiwa Party, begins torturing kidnapped victims in order to awaken them as Gigalomaniacs under the guise of the Ark Heart Medical facility as part of their Project Noah.
In 2004, N.O.Z.O.M.I. becomes the parent company of FaithWorks Limited.
In 2008, Researcher Issei Hatano offers his wife and youngest daughter Mana as experimental subjects to N.O.Z.O.M.I. and the Cosmic Church of the Divine Light. A year later, after the experiment has deviated from the intended course, Issei Hatano's youngest daughter, Mana, has become a mummy, and his wife goes insane and commits suicide upon being released from the delusion of living happily with her, and Issei Hatano leaves N.O.Z.O.M.I.
In 2009:
- N.O.Z.O.M.I. becomes aware of Shogun's realbooting of the delusionary Takumi Nishijou a year and a half previously.
- FaithWorks Limited begins selling Gero Froggies in order to manipulate and observe the GE rates and biorhythms in Shibuya.
- Shino Hazuki and Mamoru Suwa commit the New Generation serial killings to pressure the delusionary Takumi Nishijou in order to awaken him as a Gigalomaniac as well as cover the tracks of N.O.Z.O.M.I.’s experiments with the GE rates.
- As part of Project Noah’s GE rate experiments, the first, second, and third melts are induced, each causing more deaths than the last. The Meiwa Party puts pressure on the media to cease reporting about the sky turning white during the second melt and to emphasize it as nothing but a natural disaster.
- Porters are sent throughout Shibuya in order to induce melts as well as conduct other experiments.
- Shortly after the second melt, Nanami Nishijou is kidnapped, and her right hand is chopped off and delivered to the delusionary Takumi Nishijou in a box, in order to awaken her as a Gigalomaniac and pressure the delusionary Takumi Nishijou. Rimi Sakihata is captured while trying to rescue her.
- Mamoru Suwa failed to awakened the delusionary Takumi Nishijou as a Gigalomaniac and ran away leaving behind his Darth Spider Helmet. (1st attempt on the roof of O-Front)
- Rimi Sakihata is captured while trying to rescue Nanami Nishijou.
- After the third melt, having deemed Kouzou Inohana of The Meiwa Party and Yuudai Kuramochi of Cosmic Church of the Divine Light to be of no further use to him, Gen'ichi Norose of N.O.Z.O.M.I. deludes them into killing each other, while plotting to take over the world himself using the Noah II, cutting the Committee of 300 out of the picture.
- Mamoru Suwa kills his partner Yasuji Ban, and attacks Sena Aoi, Kozue Orihara, and the delusionary Takumi Nishijou.
- The Third Melt occurs earlier than Shogun's prediction.
- N.O.Z.O.M.I. is dealt the destruction of the Noah II when Gen'ichi Norose is killed by the delusionary Takumi Nishijou, putting an end to Project Noah, which had deviated from the Committee’s plans due to the rebellion its 3 ringleaders had against the Committee of 300.
After ChäoS;HEAd, without N.O.Z.O.M.I.’s backing, FaithWorks Limited's Gero Froggies fall out of fashion within a year. The New Generation serial killings are written off in the media as being perpetrated by a 25-year-old man who perished immediately after arrest in the Third Melt earthquake.
Control over the plan[]
While supposed goal of the plan is letting The Committee achieve world domination, Yuudai Kuramochi, the leader of the Cosmic Church of the Divine Light, and Kouzou Inohana, the leader of The Meiwa Party, planned to betray The Committee and rule the world on their own.
Gen'ichi Norose, the CEO of N.O.Z.O.M.I., did not intend to let either of them control the plan and wanted to personally take over the project, and rather than turn the world into a dystopia under his rule like The Committee or Kuramochi and Inohana planned, his goal is to use Noah II to turn the world into what he thinks to be a true utopia for all people.
Soon after the Third Melt, Norose kills Kuramochi and Inohana, and later gets killed by Takumi, who also destroys Noah II, making the project a failure.

Trivia[]
- The name "Noah" in Project Noah could come from the religious story Noah's Ark, as the project and the story seem to share some similarities. In it, the good man Noah was tasked by God to build a big boat with room for his family and for one pair of every animal species, before a big flood would wash over the earth to extinguish all the evil humans, after which humanity would start over anew. Just like in the story, Gen'ichi Norose's aim with Project Noah is to eradicate all negative thoughts and therefore extinguish all the evil of the world.
