Character Setting

Edit

The young and charismatic ruler of the Empire, The Emperor is a boy manipulated by his prime minister, leading to a tragic downfall where he pilots an ultimate weapon and loses himself to its power.

The Emperor possesses a charisma befitting his title as the ruler of the Imperial Capital.

However, due to his youth, he is naive and easily influenced.

He places his complete and unwavering trust in Prime Minister Honest.

While not a complete puppet, he prioritizes Honest's opinions, unaware of the minister's corruption.

Under the influence of his Teigu's "Purge Mode," his mind is corrupted, turning him into a ruthless tyrant.

In this state, he indiscriminately slaughters everyone in his path, including his own people.

After his defeat, he shows deep remorse for the suffering he caused.

He faces his execution with a resolute and dignified attitude, accepting it as his final duty.

As the reigning Emperor, he is the official head of state, governing from the Imperial Capital.

Due to his young age, he relies heavily on the instructions and advice of Prime Minister Honest to handle political affairs.

The Emperor's power comes from piloting the Supreme Teigu, "Shikoutazer."

This colossal suit of armor possesses overwhelming destructive power, capable of wiping out entire armies.

Its trump card is "Purge Mode," a dangerous state activated by Honest.

This mode drives its user mad, turning them into an uncontrollable berserker who attacks friend and foe alike.

Honest

The Emperor has absolute faith in Prime Minister Honest, viewing him as a trustworthy and essential advisor.

This blind trust allows Honest to manipulate him completely, making the Emperor a pawn in his schemes.

Tatsumi

Tatsumi becomes his main opponent during the final battle for the Imperial Capital.

Despite the Shikoutazer's immense power, he is pushed back and ultimately defeated by Tatsumi's fearless resolve and evolving strength.

Wave

Wave arrives during the final battle to aid Tatsumi.

Their coordinated teamwork was crucial in pushing back the rampaging Emperor and creating an opening for his defeat.

The Final Battle

Feeling the nation was on the brink of collapse from the advancing Revolutionary Army, the Emperor was deeply concerned.

Instigated by Prime Minister Honest, he resolved to activate the ultimate Teigu, the Shikoutazer, to protect his home.

With the Shikoutazer's overwhelming destructive power, he nearly brought the Revolutionary Army to total collapse.

However, he was pushed back by Tatsumi, who attacked bravely without an ounce of fear.

The Tyrant's Rampage

As Tatsumi gained ground, Honest activated the Shikoutazer's trump card, "Purge Mode."

The Emperor's mind was corrupted, transforming him into a vicious tyrant consumed by bloodlust.

He began to indiscriminately slaughter not only the Revolutionary Army but also his own soldiers and citizens.

This horrific act caused his remaining forces to desert him, leading to the de facto collapse of the Empire.

The Emperor's Defeat

Though he initially overwhelmed Tatsumi, who was trying to protect the populace, the tide turned once more.

Wave arrived to assist Tatsumi, and their combined efforts managed to push the Emperor back again.

He was progressively overwhelmed by Tatsumi, who continued to grow stronger throughout the fight.

In the end, he was defeated when Tatsumi mustered all his remaining strength for a final charge, piercing the Shikoutazer.

Atonement

After the battle, the Emperor was captured and imprisoned.

He was forced to confront the immense suffering he had caused his people, which he came to regret deeply.

As his final act as Emperor, he faced his execution by guillotine with a resolute and dignified attitude, atoning for his actions.
