Sanakan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One of the main characters from BLAME!, a manga by Tsutomu Nihei.
We first see her as a short, young girl with black hair who finds Killy and Cibo in a tunnel after they pierce the impenetrable Megastructure layer with the GBE: Gravitional Beam Emitter.
Later, Killy discovers her identity and she reveals her true nature; a level 6 Safeguard with a GBE similar to Killy's.
At first, Sanakan behaves like any Safeguard hellbent on annihilating all humans without the Net Terminal Gene. This changes however, when she becomes a representative of the Governing Agency with the task of retrieving Cibo, who at that time becomes the illegal level 9 Safeguard unit. At this point, she adapts a more protective role (though she is still capable of wreaking havok when necessary). Her physical body was destroyed twice in the line of duty; First in order to destroy the Toha Heavy Industries' Central AI and for the second time while protecting Cibo from Silicon Creatures. She finally dies when she sacrifices herself in order to save Killy and the globe that Cibo carried from an Exterminator.
Sanakan has been the second "mother" of the child with the terminal net genes, along with Cibo, who was carrying the globe with the embryo.
There are implications that Sanakan may be Musubi Susono, the main character of Tsutomu Nihei's manga, NOiSE; but whether that is the truth or not has not been confirmed, this could simply be a fan theory due to the fact that they look similar.
