Blaki, sometimes called Colonel Blaki or Commander Blacki, is a fictional character featuring in the works of mangaka Go Nagai. He is one of the villains of Super Robot series Ufo Robot Grendizer. He appears in the series' first episode as the leader of the Vegan invasion of earth, but is soon revealed to be under the orders of King Vega and General Gandal. Blaki is the mastermind of the Vegan attacks during the series' first season and is repeatedly chastised by Gandal for his failures to defeat Grendizer. His main strategy is to employ brute force and send one mechanical monster after another against Grendizer, without much success. In some occasions, Blaki does not hesitate to betray Vegan officers whose success against Grendizer could put his own position in jeopardy.
While, in the manga version, Blaki tries to murder Gandal, he remains faithful to the Vegan empire in the anime version. In an effort to prove himself in battle, Blaki dies in Ufo Robot Grendizer's 27th episode (end of season 1), when he crashes his own mothership against Grendizer.
[edit] Trivia
In the french and italian versions of Ufo Robot Grendizer, Colonel Blaki was called General Hydargos. In the American version, he was known as Commander Ding.
