List of Outlaw Star characters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of characters from the Japanese manga and anime Outlaw Star.
[edit] Crew of the Outlaw Star
Gene, Jim and Melfina are the regular crew of the Outlaw Star. Suzuka and Aisha are more independent and only act as crewmembers when it suits them.
[edit] Gene Starwind
- Voiced by: Shigeru Shibuya (Japanese), Robert Buchholz (English)
- Age: 20
Born on Earth, Gene Starwind was a young man who developed a fear of space flight and a hatred of pirates during an incident when he was a pre-teen that resulted in his father's death at the hands of a band of mercenaries led by Ron MacDougall and his stranding on Sentinel III. Gene himself escaped safely to the planet Sentinel III and spent the next several years there. On Sentinel III, he met Jim Hawking, a 11-year old genius hacker. The pair became business partners in Starwind and Hawking Enterprises, primarily as repairmen, but also accepting various odd jobs, as long as they don't break the law. He is a reckless ladies' man and a bit of a pervert, and if women do not immediately swoon over him he is certain to try (mostly successfully) at seducing them for a one-night stand, defaulting to brothels in a worst case scenario. He would rather try to achieve his goals in one fell swoop, with a minimum of effort, a characteristic that frustrates Jim; but he can think on his feet when he needs to. Gene is well armed with a variety of weapons such as a handgun, shotgun, knife, light shield, etc. His special weapon, a Caster gun, fires special Caster shells, which are basically magic bullets that are effective against Tao priests and other things that are protected against normal weaponry. Caster shells are projectile capsules that contain an actual spell cast by a wizard and contained in the shell, which allows non-magic users to fire the spell from a gun. Caster shells are also numbered by power level, the three most powerful being 4, 9, and 13 (in Japanese culture, the numbers 4 and 9 are considered bad luck, and in western culture, the number 13 is considered bad luck). Caster shells are considered antiques, however, and are difficult to acquire. Some of the effects of the caster shells include opening up small controlled black holes in order to absorb an opponent, as seen by the shell fired against Hamushi (effectively) and Hazanko (ineffectively).
Gene bears many scars all over his body, a testament to the hardships that he has endured over his lifetime. The most noticeable are the two on his left cheek, just below his eye. These were all probably made after his father's ship was destroyed and he crashed on Sentinel III.
[edit] James "Jim" Hawking
- Voiced by: Rika Matsumoto (Japanese), Ian Hawk (English)
The 11-year-old James "Jim" Hawking is the business partner and sidekick of Gene Starwind. He is the son of a famous computer hacker known as the "Computer Wizard". How he met Gene is unknown. Jim serves as the team's computer expert, hacker, strategist, and back-up. He is responsible and concerned; he worries about the team's finances and plans, prefers to earn money the hard way rather than to take risks, and is often annoyed by Gene's lazy and cavalier attitude. Jim becomes good friends with fellow Outlaw Star crew member Aisha Clan Clan, who is in some ways his opposite: Jim gets treated like a kid even though he acts like an adult, while Aisha, though an adult, acts like a kid. Jim also looks up to the android Melfina as a mother figure, and gets along well with the Outlaw Star's on-board computer, Gilliam II. Jim has trouble, however, trusting strangers such as Hilda, who first approaches him and Gene under false pretenses, and Suzuka, who tries to kill Gene and whose motives are unclear. Episode 20 of the anime tells the story of Jim's first love, a young girl named Hanmyo who, unknown to the crew, is a combat pilot charged with destroying the Outlaw Star and its crew. His name could be a nod to Jim Hawkins of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island.
Jim modifies one of the Gilliam maintenance robots, changing its color from blue to pink. He says that he just felt like making one of them special. After this is done, he carries that one with him and uses it as his own personal link to Gilliam.
[edit] Melfina

![Melfina wakes up [TV Edit].](../../../upload/thumb/4/40/FireflyGirlInBox2.jpg/140px-FireflyGirlInBox2.jpg)
- Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi (Japanese), Emilie Brown (English)
Melfina is a bio-android created by Professor Gwen Khan using ancient biotechnology found within the Grave of the Dragon ruins. The complexity of the information was so vast that even he couldn't understand it all. She looks as if she is 17 or so, but her real age is only that of 2 years. She has no recollection of her past or why she was created, which very often troubles her throughout the series. Later, on the planet holding the ruins of the Grave of the Dragon she sings a mysterious song (the ending song for episodes 1-13) which possibly signifies the weight of the questions about her existence that she wants answered. Melfina is by far the most thoughtful, polite, sweet and caring member of the crew and because of this Jim often thinks of her as a mother. She's noted as being a very good cook and besides being the navigator of the Outlaw Star is also the cook of the ship. Her reasons for travelling with Gene is to fulfill the promise that he made, which was that he would do everything to find out facts about her past and why she was created. Later in the series it is revealed that she was created to navigate to the Galactic Leyline and act as a medium to access its vast powers. Because of this, she is considered to be the "Maiden of the Leyline" and the only being able to tap into the Leyline's power. On the last episode, the part of her spirit which was created to be the Maiden of the Leyline departs from her and relocates with the Leyline itself meaning that Melfina is no longer bound to the Leyline and her past and is subsequently freed from a forced destiny. After this, Melfina falls in love with Gene and goes along with him and the Outlaw Star.
Melfina navigates the Outlaw Star from within a cylindrical chamber on the bridge that rises from the floor and fills with an unknown clear liquid-like substance, supposedly to help her link with the ship. The liquid is most likely a stabling agent to help ensure that her link is static-free, and because of this she has to navigate without wearing any clothes. She covers herself with her arms across her chest in a formation resembling angel wings. Her lower area is obstructed by the chamber's outer retractable metal coverings. As part of Cartoon Network's editing the show has her portrayed as wearing tight black shorts.
[edit] Aisha Clanclan
- Voiced by: Yuko Miyamura (Japanese), Lenore Zann (English)
Aisha Clanclan is a female Ctarl-Ctarl officer. She is a dark-skinned catgirl with a very large appetite and the strength of ten men, depending on whether there is a full moon on the planet she is on. As all Ctarl-Ctarl, Aisha can assume a beast form that grants her tremendous strength but consumes enormous amounts of energy. In her particular case, she turns into a massive white tiger. Iraga, a renegade Ctarl-Ctarl aligned with the Kei pirates, transformed into a two tailed wolf when she fought Aisha in the episode 18, "The Strongest Woman in the Universe." When she transforms her clothes are destroyed, an example at the Galactic Leyline she lost her clothes but appeared in the Outlaw Star fully clothed; whether or not she has multiple outfits is unknown. Aisha was originally in charge of locating the Galactic Leyline for the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire, but after she unknowingly allowed for Hot Ice Hilda to escape, her government ordered her to stay behind on Blue Heaven to look for clues as punishment. Aisha finds out that Gene Starwind is connected to Hilda and tries to pump him for information; however, Gene knows nothing of the Galactic Leyline. Later during the Space Race, after Aisha was able to trick Gene into letting her on board the Outlaw Star, she finds out that the MacDougall Brothers have more information on Hilda than they do. Aisha then decides to join the crew since they are the ones who were indirectly responsible for her demotion in the first place.
Aisha can be rather absent-minded at times, acting on rash impulse and not really caring about anyone other than herself. She does start to have more positive relationship with Jim over the course of the series, and starts to concern herself with his well-being.
[edit] "Twilight" Suzuka
- Voiced by: Sayuri Yamauchi (Japanese), Wendee Lee (English)
"Twilight" Suzuka is a female Ultra Class A assassin who only kills when the sun is setting. Her preferred weapon of choice is a bokken, or wooden sword, which through secret, semi-mystical swordplay can be used to slice metal like a cleaver and smash concrete yet on the next stroke will land only a knock out blow on her opponent. She first appears when she tries to kill Gene Starwind's friend Fred Luo as part of her contract with a rival weapons seller. Gene is able to outsmart her and force her to consent to come after him first before she kills Fred as part of her pride. However, in her next appearance, Suzuka saves Melfina from a Kei Pirate and decides to help the group against the Kei Pirates mainly to go after a member of the Anten Seven named Hitoriga who killed her family. Surprisingly, Suzuka seems to know more about the Kei Pirates than the rest of the crew. Among the various members on Gene’s ship Suzuka could best be considered the lone wolf, relying very little on outside help to accomplish her goals and frequently dissapearing at ports to take care of "business." She is quiet and pensive, and once tells Gene that she 'sticks around' only because she finds him interesting, much to his chagrin.
Much about Suzuka's past is unknown, such as why the Kei pirates would target her family, how she survived, and who trained her or if she trained herself. Even her age is never really mentioned during the run of the series. Near the ending of the series, it is implied that she has feelings for Gene. The nature of her feelings for him have been left unresolved.
[edit] Allies
[edit] "Hot Ice" Hilda
- Voiced by: Toshiko Fujita (Japanese), Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (English)
"Hot Ice" Hilda is an Outlaw who, for unknown reasons, has a problem with the Kei Pirates. Not much is known about Hilda from before she met Gene. She is responsible for taking out one of the Pirate Guild's leaders at the cost of an arm and an eye. In retaliation, she stole the XGP. After being pursued by pirates, she came to Sentinel III, where she met Gene and Jim under the name Rachel Sweet. When the pirates caught up with them, her true identity was revealed. She tried to kill Gene, but he was able to overpower her, and at gunpoint she revealed the existence of Melfina. Escaping with Gene, Jim, and Melfina, they made their way to Blue Heaven where, while resting, they were attacked by outlaws sent by the MacDougall Brothers. They escaped to the Farfallas system's sun, where the XGP was being held in an orbiting asteroid. The pirates used a Tao Spell to track them down and, thanks to the MacDougall brothers, Hilda's ship Horus was destroyed. Hilda escaped and tried to reach the XGP by climbing the pirate's grappling cable. However, the cable snapped, sending Hilda, the Tao Master, and her ship into the sun. Hilda stopped the Tao Master from attacking the XGP by detonating a bomb hidden in her tooth. Her final words to Gene were that "Outlaws never go down easy." Possibly in memory of her, Gene named the ship the Outlaw Star.
After Hilda dies, Gene has several visions of her, mainly at times when he is scared and believes that he is going to die (Episodes 15 and 26). This possibly suggests that there was more to their relationship than meets the eye, although he could just feel guilty for his powerlessness when he was unable to rescue her from Farfallas' gravity well.
Cartoon Network edited the scene in when Hilda commits suicide during the time it was running on Toonami by removing the scene of her using the hidden explosive and instead used the footage of them sinking into Farfalla's sun.
[edit] Fred Luo
- Voiced by: Toshihiko Seki (Japanese), Ezra Weisz (English)
Fred Luo is a camp weapons merchant and an old friend of Gene Starwind. Gene goes to him to supply weapons for the Outlaw Star, although it costs a lot of money for Grappler Ship weapons. Although Gene works hard to pay Fred back all the money he owes him, Fred offers discounts for doing favors for him and is willing to help Gene, so Gene is eventually able to pay him back. Fred is also obviously homosexual and is most likely in love with Gene Starwind. Fred appears briefly with his two bodyguards in Angel Links. Fred Luo's homosexuality is an accepted fact among many fans, and was cause for little controversy in Japan, where many anime are more intense and in depth in their portryal of homosexual characters. Still, Cartoon Network edited some sequences and dialogue so that Fred wasn't perceived as "too gay" for its first American television broadcast run.
[edit] Swanzo
- Voiced by: Takeshi Aono (Japanese), Doug Stone (voice actor) (English)
Swanzo is a Corbanite and the chief mechanic at Blue Heaven. He was saved by Hilda when his ship was attacked by Ban pirates. His translator has been known to glitch, and will occasionally speak in Corbanese. He says that he had a rather "hot relationship" with Hilda, although he never talked about anything specific.
After Farfallas, Gene returns to Blue Heaven and informs him of Hilda's death. As payback for what he owed Hilda, he decided to give the Outlaw Star a paint job and a registration number.
[edit] Mikey
- Voiced by: Katsuyuki Konishi (Japanese), Chip Nickey (English)
Mikey is Swanzo's partner at Blue Heaven. He does not like to work for free.
[edit] Clyde
- Voiced by: Toshihiko Nakajima (Japanese), Richard Plantagenet (English)
Clyde is the owner of Gene's favorite bar on Sentinal III. He and the waitress are friends of Gene and like to check in from time to time. He also seems to know about many bounties and acts as Gene and Jim's source of job information.
[edit] Iris
- Voiced by: Akiko Kimura (Japanese), Rebecca Forstadt (English)
Iris is the waitress at Clyde's bar with unrealized romantic interests in Gene. Their relationship is comically unconsummated, very similar to that between Moneypenny and James Bond: although he is never involved with her, Gene is not above flirting with Iris and occasionally rubbing her rear end. A version of Iris can be seen in Cowboy Bebop right down to her ditzyness.
[edit] Foes
[edit] Ronald MacDougall
- Voiced by: Kazuhiro Nakata (Japanese), John Snyder (English)
Ronald "Ron" MacDougall is the elder MacDougall Brother. Always calm, he is the brains of the MacDougall's entire operation. Ron has a past with Hilda. He uses a caster gun like Gene, but it is basically the barrel of a Caster fashioned in the style of a Shakujo, the staff often carried by Buddhist monks. Ron is a man who will take on any job so long as the money is right and he ends up finishing ahead of where he started. Be it pirates, Space Forces, or private contractors, he will consider anything viable and carry out the job only as it is stipulated, and no further than that. This is demonstrated by the fact that as soon as his contract with the Kei pirates that were persuing Hilda was up, he immediately turned on them, attempting to kill both the pirates and Hilda, as well as destroying the XGP. At the Leyline, Gene used a #9 shell to badly injure Ron. He and Harry, as the Shangri La's Main Computer, departed. It is unknown what has happened to both brothers.
Gene accuses Ron as being the man who killed his father. This is because Gene remembers seeing the Shangri La at the time it happened. However, Ron doesn't seem to recall anything of the sort, blaming it on the fact that he has taken on so many jobs that he can't remember them all.
[edit] Harry MacDougall
- Voiced by: Tsutomu Kashiwakura (Japanese), Steve Staley (English)
Harry MacDougall is the youngest of the MacDougall Brothers (19 years old). Similar to Melfina he is also a synthetic human, a test tube baby created in a lab using genetic material from that of another individual who had earlier died. Though usually calm and somewhat rather arrogant, he is prone to episodic fits of rage and hate. In his first upfront encounter with the XGP, he tries to hack into its systems. As a defensive measure, Gilliam shuts down and Harry encounters Melfina for the first time (Melfina was navigating the ship and thus was connected to its mainframe when the systems were shut down). From then on he developed an obsessive infatuation with her often claiming, whenever they meet, that they are one in the same and are the only ones capable of understanding each other. He later on directly admits to Melfina that he loves her. However, his attempts to make Melfina fall in love with him have all failed. His body goes through numerous extensive replacements the first of which was replacing his right arm with a mechanical prothstetic that allowed him greater strength and hacking capabilities. In the ruins of the Grave of the Dragon, he is nearly killed by Gene and his body is completely replaced with bio-android prothstetics. This enables him to possess superhuman strength and speed as well as being outfitted with weapons in his arms and shoulders. It also allows him to completely control and navigate their ship the Shangri La and pass through the outer barriers of the Galactic Leyline. Despite the upgrades to his body, his life is only short lived as he meets his end when trying to defend Melfina from Hazanko at the gate to the Leyline. Although being killed, the backup life support in his body enabled him to live for just enough time to delete the protective barriers created by Hazanko at the doors of the Leyline and tell Melfina a final 'Goodbye', fading away just before he got a chance to kiss her. His last wishes were for Gene to go to her, apparent of the fact that she loves him, and if it were possible to ask her to sing the song she sung back at the Grave of the Dragons for him just one last time.
It is later noted that before departing to the Leyline he integrated himself with the mainframe computer of the Shangri La and created a "backup" of himself incase something happened to him while on the journey to the Leyline. The backup version of Harry is quoted as saying "...almost as good as the original" and is unaware of any of the events or experiences of that of the original Harry that took place in the Leyline.
[edit] Professor Gwen Khan
- Voiced by: Takeshi Aono (Japanese), Milton James (English)
Professor Gwen Khan was one of the leading scientists on the Leyline Project. He has an odd personality, often speaking to himself, thinking out loud and repeating the same phrases multiple times in a row. A hyper-intellectual, his communication and personal deficiencies evidence a mentality pushed near if not into a mild form of insanity by information-overload. Khan's goal in life is to gain ultimate knowledge, which drives him to find the Galactic Leyline, a "machine-god" created by an extinct alien race that acts as a catalog for all of existence.
Khan first appears as a judge for the Heifong Space Race, recognizing the XGP as soon as it appears as an entrant in the competition. Afterwards he somewhat stalks Gene and his crew, going to extreme lengths to track them and their ship down. Khan sides with no one and uses every ploy to achieve his goal of reaching the Leyline and attaining ultimate knowledge, switching sides and backstabbing practically every member of the cast. Later on in the series, it is revealed that he was the scientist who decrypted some of the ancient biotechnology found in the Grave of the Dragon ruins that led to Melfina's creation. He is also responsible for the development of the XGP15A-II and was a major factor in the Leyline Project. Aside from Hazanko, Khan is the only person in the series shown to have knowledge of voice recognition codes which tap into Melfina's hidden powers related to the Leyline. By uttering "It was you who broke my mason plate" in Melfina's presence, Khan shuts her down and forces Gene to infiltrate a high-security prison and retrieve the Leyline's coordinates from a prisoner being held there, threatening never to revive her unless Gene complies with his demands.
Khan eventually sides with the MacDougall brothers in order to get to the Leyline after the coordinates are discovered and brought to Gene. Khan was able to track them down and used the brothers in order to enter the Leyline, only after he made the same modifications to Harry as he did to Melfina after his near-death at the Grave of the Dragon. He also upgraded Harry's body to be able to withstand extreme combat. After entering the Leyline, Khan is also lucky enough to face little to no resistance in reaching the center, as he was able to avoid any contact with anyone else. He also manages to avoid being attacked directly from Ron MacDougall thanks to a timely entrance by Gene. Harry allows both him and Gene access to the center of the Leyline after he breaks through the final door's lock.
Khan's goal for ultimate knowledge is fulfilled when he reaches the center of the Leyline after Gene and Hazanko, making him the third and last member of the cast to do so alive. After that, he thanks Gene and Melfina before being entirely converted into the very concept of information itself: "I am data, and data is me."
[edit] Hazanko
- Voiced by: Seizo Katou (Japanese), Tom Wyner (English)
Hazanko is the leader of the Anten Seven and a high ranking member of the 108 Stars. Wanting absolute power, he began searching for the Galactic Leyline to gain enough power to defeat the Tendo King. A ruthless tyrant, he was willing to do anything, even sacrifice his own people. A skilled and powerful Tao Master, he can deflect virtually any attack directed at him and use devastating Tao magic with very little effort, going so far as to reverse the fatal effects of a #4 Caster Shell and reemerge unharmed from apparent nonexistence. Though the Leyline gave him the power he wanted, he was nevertheless defeated by Gene and the Outlaw Star when they tapped into the Leyline as well and used its powers against him.
[edit] Kei Pirates
The Kei Pirates are a collection of users of Tao magic. The group most often mentioned in the series is the 108 Stars, led by the mysterious Tendo King. Those in Outlaw Star are mostly lead by Hazanko and his elite Anten Seven.
[edit] 108 Stars
The 108 Stars are a group of Tao magic users from the Hoppo system, and members of the Kei Pirates. The name may come from the legend of the 108 Stars of Destiny, of the classic Chinese novel Shui Hu Zhuan. Centered around the Tendo King, their leader, the 108 Stars operate in smaller groups of 10 or 20, with the leaders of these groups acting as independents, pursuing their own interests. In the series, the group that pursues Gene Starwind and the rest of the crew of the Outlaw Star is led by a man called Hazanko. The members of this group supposedly possess a great power known as Sunjutsu (pronounced soon-joot-su), which is based on feng shui. They hunt Gene and his companions relentlessly, eventually setting the Anten Seven after them. The Seven and Hazanko are eventually defeated, yet the 108 Stars live on.
[edit] The Anten Seven
The Anten Seven, led by Hazanko, are an elite group of assassins sent after Gene and the crew of the Outlaw Star. Each member has their own particular area of expertise and they utilize their techniques according to whatever obstacles need to be overcome. Up until the discovery of the Galactic Leyline, it seems that they work alone.
[edit] Shimi
- Voiced by: Yuusaku Yara (Japanese), Steve Bulen (English)
Shimi, whose real name is Leilong, is the first assassin sent after Gene. He carries an immense backpack around with him, which is full of an assortment of weapons, including a sword, pistol, rockets, and a top of the line Space Forces light shield. He is a very skilled dueler and is yet to be defeated. During their duel, he easily defeats Gene. After witnessing this, Jim, Aisha, and Suzuka make a hasty attack for vengeance and are also thoroughly defeated. Surviving with a wound to his ribs, Gene is then challenged to a one-shot duel by Shimi. Gene wins the duel due to Shimi having a faulty gun. Believed to be dead, he is buried by Gene and the others, but eventually digs himself out of his grave muttering: "They should have buried me deeper." Instead of continuing his life as an assassin, Shimi chooses to start his life anew as a wandering outlaw, having orchestrated his defeat and "death" for the exact purpose of removing himself from the Kei Pirates.
Just before Shimi's "death," he mutters to Gene that he "musn't let the Anten Seven prevail." This suggests that Shimi did not just get bored with being a pirate, but wants the pirates to fail, and actually believes that it is possible that Gene has what it takes to do just that. It is possible that this was the reason he had a pupil, and was not at all caring when he failed to kill Gene. He may not have cared for his pupil because he was just sick and tired of killing others, as is hinted at from his conversation with Gene in the bar earlier in that episode, before he revealed himself.
[edit] Iraga
- Voiced by: Chiyako Shibahara (Japanese), Barbara Goodson (English)
Iraga is the second assassin that Gene and the crew encounter. Defying Hazanko she entered into an intergalactic fighting tournament which decides the strongest woman in the universe. She is a member of the Hoke Shadow Boxing team displaying incredible feats of strength and power enabling her to defeat the 4 year consecutive strong woman champion in under 30 seconds. However her abilities can be attributed to the fact that she might be a Ctarl-Ctarl (Aisha completely denies this, and Iraga's transformation includes a hybrid wolf form, so it seems more likely she is an alien werewolf). She wears a pair of goggles to hide her eyes and gloves to hide her hands which are that of wolves. Like Aisha, she has the ability to fully transform into a large wolf. She was defeated by Aisha in the final round of the tournament, after completely destroying the tournament building and setting it and surrounding areas ablaze.
[edit] Hanmyo
- Voiced by: Tomoko Kawakami (Japanese), Rebecca Forstadt (English)
Hanmyo is the youngest member of the Anten Seven, probably only around 10 or 11 and travels with her 2 cats. She is an expert in space combat piloting an advanced ship which separates into 3 subsections each equipped with its own grappler and weapons. It can also be determined that she is also an expert in martial arts displaying remarkable reflexes and agility when spotted training near the water fountain on Symka 5 by Jim. Through 'mental- link' technology she can communicate with her cats which also allows them to pilot their own section of the ship giving her a clear advantage in battle. She easily proves to be quite a match for the Outlaw Star on their first encounter, forcing Gene and the crew to escape and dock at the satellite station Symka 5.
She has a brief romantic involvement with Jim (never knowing he was part of Gene's crew) , believing that their meeting was fate. However she met her death when the Outlaw Star unknowingly destroyed their ship when she attacked them a second time. She wanted to finish them off quickly apparently determined to keep her appointment with Jim for their second date. When the Outlaw Star finally left Symka 5, a single rose from the flowers Jim had given her on their first date could be seen floating in space.
[edit] Hamushi
- Voiced by: Mako Hyoudou (Japanese), Dorothy Elias-Fahn (English)
When Hamushi fought Gene at the Leyline, he described her as "a tough little cookie and a righteous babe all in one." She is a temptress who uses her sex appeal to send her enemies into a false sense of security, flirting with them in the midst of combat. Immune to most Caster Shells, she can effortlessly deflect or negate them with a mere flick of her pink fur-frilled fan, a weapon that in turn generates shockwaves. Only when Gene uses the rare number #4 shell is she defeated: in exchange for a portion of his life energy, the shell dismantles her organic structure into a flailing mass of wiry fibers before absorbing her into a miniature black hole.
[edit] Tobigera
- Voiced by: Hikaru Midorikawa (Japanese), Michael Lindsay (English)
Tobigera is a master of disguise. Mainly used for comic relief in the Hot Springs Planet episode, he is nevertheless the last member of the Anten Seven to be defeated, having been absorbed into the Geomancer along with Hazanko and granted ultimate power by the Leyline in the show's final episode. He has a claw with four long blades on his right arm, and meets his death when a similar clawed arm growing from the Outlaw Star impales him through the face.
[edit] Jukai
- Voiced by: Masashi Ebara (Japanese), Doug Stone (English)
Jukai is presumably an old man with a very raspy voice, although his face is never seen and little is known about him. He is wrapped from the neck down in a straitjacket with a spiked back, and wears a mask with the number six on it. He attacks by turning into a giant whirlwind, appearing to be made of water, and ramming into his opponents. When defeated by Aisha at the Leyline, he deflates like a popped water-balloon, streams of liquid spurting from his many wounds.
[edit] Hitoriga
- Voiced by: Kiyonobu Suzuki (Japanese), Barry Stigler (English)
Hitoriga is an assassin much like Suzuka, not much is known except for the fact that he is the one who killed Suzuka's family. A sword fighter himself, in his first battle with Suzuka (which he won, making him the only person who ever defeated her in a swordfight) he changed his face and body to look like Suzuka. He did that because he was in love with her and wanted to see her face since he knew he could never have her. He was defeated by Suzuka's Crimson technque, a sword technique she devised specifically to kill him.
