open/close all folders
Millennion
A crime syndicate, also known as the "Syndicate", originally founded and led by "Big Daddy", now is run by the current Family under leadership of Harry MacDowell. They are the main antagonists in the first game. In General
- Friendly Neighborhood Gangster: The original intent of the organization was to bring order to the city the story takes place in, though even under Big Daddy's leadership, this more benevolent goal was only fulfilled to the extent that it massively curbed unchecked gang violence with the slums Harry and Brandon came from still being grungy and dangerous.
- Even Evil Has Standards: There's the "Code of Iron" that promotes loyalty and punishes betrayal, but there's also the fact that under Big Daddy's leadership, killing was discouraged unless it was done in self-defense, to protect the syndicate's reputation, or if Millennion was involves in outright gang warfare. As Randy put it to Harry when they met, you can't get anything from a dead man. In this way, someone who owes the group a large loan and knowingly tries to buck the payment might only get roughed up until he gives up the money, whereas some thieves who unwittingly rob from a Millennion warehouse may have to be executed to suppress the very thought that someone could steal from them.
- Spared by the Adaptation: Though decimated due to the feud between Harry's forces and Grave, the organization nonetheless survives the end of the anime.
The Family
Several members of The Family
The central command of Millenion led by Harry MacDowell. In General
- Criminal Found Family: Formerly an elite community of Big Daddy's most trusted associates, this part of the syndicate has since withered to the Big Four and a boardroom of aging, miserable crooks under Harry's reign.
"Bloody" Harry MacDowell
"Bloody" Harry MacDowell
- "Fall Brandon, down into the darkness and the grave that suits you so well."
The boss of Millenion who used to be Brandon's closest friend, but...
Harry was never a completely nice individual. A smooth talker, he had many lofty ambitions. He wanted to be free and to have the power to give what he wants, and take what he wanted. He practically wanted to own the stars themselves. He joins Millenion with Brandon in tow, seeing it as an opportunity to gain fame, power and fortune. He does, but it still wasn't enough for him to make it to the top. Over the years he began to forget what was truly important—friendship—and a rift began to form between him and Brandon which would only grow deeper.
Harry presents Brandon with a plan: kill their boss, Big Daddy, thus assuming control of the entire Syndicate as the new leader. He reasons that if Big Daddy is out of the picture permanently, then Maria would be rightfully Brandon's wife. Shocked and appalled at Brandon's refusal (and being punched in the face for even suggesting such a thing), Harry pulls a gun on Brandon and murders him, which led to the birth of "Beyond the Grave".
Still not satisfied with the results, he kills Big Daddy in the anime and in the video game, has Big Daddy subjected to the early experiments with the latest in necro-rise technology, mutating him into a tortured, mindless abomination. To further cement his grip on the Syndicate, he created the Big Four: Bob Poundmax, Bunji Kugashira, Bear Walken, and Balladbird Lee, as his elite squad and bodyguards, along with using the fruits of the Necrolization Project's labors, the Orgmen, to rule the city of Billion with an iron fist. His cruelty eventually extends to the goal of killing off anyone and anything related to Big Daddy... which just so happens to be Maria Asagi, Big Daddy's wife, and their pre-teen daughter, Mika Asagi. He is successful in having Maria murdered, but Mika flees to the depths of the city, tasked to find a man named Brandon Heat...
Voiced by Tsutomu Isobe in the Japanese version of the video game and the anime, Tony Oliver in the anime's English dub, and Christian Strempler in the Mexican Spanish dub of the anime.
- Ambition Is Evil: It's more prominent in the anime where several characters point out that Harry was talented and capable enough to become the boss of Millenion naturally, but his impatience and ruthlessness caused him to to initiate schemes to climb the ladder faster with terrible consequences for himself and those he loved.
- Big Bad: Of the first game and anime.
- The Casanova: As lampshaded by the old gang, Harry is good with women.
- Cigar Chomper: He's sometimes seen with a cigar.
- Compensated Dating: In the anime, Young Harry uses this to get money for his gang.
- The Dark Side Will Make You Forget: He sought to climb Millenion's ranks to the top first in order to ensure that he would always be able to protect his loved ones. Over time, his ambition overtook his initial motives, and he ended up sacrificing those same loved ones in order to achieve power.
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: While he was always the more amoral of the pair, Brandon not sharing the premium Harry placed on vengeance and ambition is what ultimately drove them apart.
- Evil Is Not a Toy: Uniquely, he doesn't pay very much for toying with necrolization. Rather, introducing it into the criminal underworld has dire repercussions felt in subsequent games.
- Face–Heel Turn: Starts out as a relatively normal, but rather ambitious and rebellious teen who is Brandon's best friend. But once he's in Millennion, his ambition soon gets better of him. This turns him into a Hero Killer and a tyrant in Millennion after taking over The Syndicate.
- Heel–Face Turn / Love Redeems: Anime-only and implied. In the end, after hearing from Brandon, the man whose life he had ruined by killing him and his loved ones during his Face–Heel Turn, that he has always considered Harry as his best friend and can never kill him no matter what he has done, Harry breaks down and apologizes to Brandon. The gun he uses during the Mutual Kill attempt in the end, which is switched with Brandon's and has been shown to be empty early in the episode, and the way he holds the gun (he aims at Brandon's chest, where Brandon has just taken a lot of bullets and survived), further imply his Heel–Face Turn.
- Friend to All Children: He is seen buying toys for the kids in the orphanage.
- Go Mad from the Revelation: When Big Daddy reveals that Brandon actually knows what Harry is up to and still refuses to shoot him despite that, Harry snaps and shoots Big Daddy. This becomes why he wants to kill anybody that reminds him of Big Daddy.
- Graceful Loser: After Grave beats the final boss (a Necrolized Big Daddy) Harry politely concedes to Grave and lets him shoot him.
- Made even more awesome because Grave won't shoot unless YOU, the player, press the fire button during the cutscene.
- Grasp the Sun: Does this in the anime.
- Hero Killer: In both series, he is the one who killed Brandon Heat.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Coerces Dr. T to keep the necrolization lab going, allowing Brandon to eventually come back from the dead to tear down everything he built. And even then, Brandon wouldn't have gone after him if he hadn't gotten his case back, which Mika only returned because Harry persisted in his vendetta against Big Daddy. This goes a bit further in the anime where his personal Orgmen army is annihilated thanks to his rivals in the organization mass-producing the anti-necrolization bullets Harry himself commissioned.
- Ignored Epiphany: Episode 25 of the anime has him wondering how everything went so wrong. When a head injury from crashing his car gives him a vision that gives him the precise answer (leading his friends to a brawl against Dee, which would indirectly earn the ire of his brother "Mad Dog" Ladd), he can't accept it and goes right back to blaming everyone else when he meets up with Brandon in the finale.
- Improbable Age: He's 28, just a year older than Brandon, when he takes over Millennion.
- In Love with the Mark: Courted Sherry to get Bear under his thumb, but even her father was able to tell just by looking at his eyes that Harry was genuinely starting to fall in love with her.
- Irony: Cares for children's welfare, but never has a kid after marrying Sherry for years.
- It's All About Me: He's naturally selfish but is capable of caring deeply for people. Tellingly, Sherry's death in the anime might've been prevented if Harry focused less on gunning down an assassin who was shooting at him and more on shielding his wife. Nonetheless, he's legitimately horrified when he sees that she's been lethally wounded.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Especially near the end. Earlier, he murders Mika's parents (by himself for Big Daddy, while his agents are the ones who kill Maria). After that, he issues a manhunt on Mika, who ends up being chased around the town. Later, Brandon/Grave murder all his trusted bodyguards, and the rebelling Millennion agents murder his wife, Sherry. To cap it all off, he also ends up being chased around the town by the rebelling agents, as Biscoe has issued a manhunt on him.
- Karmic Death: His death is not too different from how he murders Brandon: riddled with bullets before receiving a bullet to the left side of his face (off-screen).
- Lonely at the Top: Near the end of the anime, Harry is on the top, but he has nobody else with him except Sherry and Bear's Overkill. At the same time, he's being hunted down by the Millennion splinter-faction who remains loyal to Big Daddy.
- Mask of Sanity: He's deeply unhappy and unhinged as the boss of Millennion, which he hides rather well from his men and his wife. In both the game and the anime, losing everything takes the fight out of him and he dies with his senses restored.
- My God, What Have I Done?: After killing his best friend Brandon, he admits that he actually sees no hint of betrayal within Brandon. However, his best friend is gone, and he can only comfort himself by claiming that Brandon does betray him. This leads to his Villainous Breakdown. In the finale, when Brandon admits that he keeps choosing Harry over Millennion, he breaks down again.
- Non-Action Big Bad: He never battles the protagonist and lets his minions do all the work.
- One-Winged Angel: Averted, as he never used seed or necro-rise on himself.
- Pet the Dog: To kids.
- Playing with Syringes: Once taking over the Necrolization Project, he became driven to have all the power in the world through the results of the project. As noted above, though, he never used it on himself.
- Pyrrhic Victory: In the anime, Harry takes over Millennion and makes it far greater than the city's law enforcement, which is either incompetent or seriously corrupt; he just had to abandon his morals, his ideals, and his best friend to get there. He eventually loses everything he gained, and the lingering guilt over Brandon's murder doesn't do him any favors.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Since Harry's life goes well in Millennion, he tends to use this to solve problems. When he hears about possible revolt from Biscoe, he buys Biscoe's daughter new dolls and lots of gifts. He also buys Biscoe's wife an expensive necklace. It doesn't work. Biscoe turns out to be responsible for leading a splinter-faction to hunt down Harry near the end of the anime.
- Sketchy Successor: Under Big Daddy's harmony-focused leadership, Millennion prospered for almost forty years. Harry's reign over the same organization, which superficially more profitable, is built on aggressive coercion and mad science, and barely lasts over thirteen.
- Slasher Smile: Sometimes shows this in the anime.
- Smug Snake: Helped by always having someone to hide behind or fall back on when he's part of Millennion. Though unlike most examples of this trope, his defeat restores his humility during his final moments.
- There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Harry tends to fire his gun multiple times (even he has shot someone in the chest) to kill somebody unlike Brandon, who just needs to fire once to kill someone.
- Tragic Hero: Albeit a villainous version in the anime. His drive to have all the power in the world comes from his desire to protect the ones close to him, so guess what he ended up sacrificing to achieve that power?
- Tyrant Takes the Helm: Deconstructed in the anime. This starts the rebellion from Millennion splinter-faction that remains loyal to Big Daddy. The splinter-faction is hunting for him near the finale and plays a part in his death.
- Villainous Breakdown: In the anime. He has his first major one in episode 15 when he tries to justify his murder of Brandon, and he undergoes even worse ones after his old friend comes back from the dead.
- Visionary Villain: His goal is just to earn power and the freedom to give and take anything he wants.
- War for Fun and Profit: Exports the Orgmen to criminal organizations and warring armies all around the world due to the Methuselah in the game, and out of bitter mockery for Big Daddy's longterm goal to use Millennion as a stabilizing peacekeeping force for the city.
- Younger Than They Look: In his early 40s, he looks more weathered than Bear Walken, who's way older than him.
Big Four
The second-in commands of The Family in Millennion. In General
- Co-Dragons: The anime plays this up. Brandon eliminating them deprives Harry of his most trusted and capable lieutenants, making him weaker both in resources and clout as they were so essential to his grip on Millenion.
- Mook Chivalry: Enforced. Bob is allowed to attack Brandon on his own because the group underestimates just how strong he's become as Grave. After his death, both Lee and Bunjie desire to personally kill Grave themselves, dividing them further when they would've stood a better chance attacking their old cohort as a team.
- Poor Communication Kills: They all choose to believe Harry's bold-faced lie that Brandon betrayed the organization, and attack him and die at his hands when the undead hitman is only really interested in protecting Mika and going after his former best friend specifically.
- Sanity Slippage: Undergoing Superiorization turns Bob and Lee violent and unstable.
Bob Poundmax
Bob Poundmax
- "It's my greatest talent; if you took that away I'd have nothing left!"
The friend of Balladbird Lee, Bob loves food. Really, really loves food. He is almost never without his favorite food, fried chicken, and seems to always have a drumstick in hand. He is a master of wiretapping and gathering information, which Harry and Lee use to a great extent. He becomes seriously obese due to his overeating, and almost dies because of it if he didn't undergo the process to become a Superior (an Orgman capable of free will/sentient thought). He is the first of Harry's "Big Four" that Brandon (as Beyond the Grave) will fight.
Voiced by Chafurin in both the game and the animation, Doug Stone in the anime's English dub, and by Gabriel Ortiz in the anime's Mexican Spanish dub.
- Big Fun: In the anime, he's often quite amicable and cheerful among his peers.
- Big Eater: As the above quote demonstrates, his appetite is one of his defining characteristics.
- Cerebus Retcon: At first nobody particular notices or points out Bob's progressive weight gain through the years, it being played as something between a background detail and a running gag. However it all takes quite a serious turn by the middle of the anime as it is revealed his obesity and unhealthy habits led to the formation of a blood clot in his brain.
- Emergency Transformation: Bob has a blood clot forming in his brain that lands him into a coma due to his diet consisting of nothing but massive amounts of fried chicken drumsticks. He almost dies as a result, but is saved thanks to the Superiorization.
- Fat Bastard: Moreso in the video game, where his history with Brandon and Harry isn't shown, and he's hurling venom and threats at Grave from the get-go.
- Food as Bribe: Once asked Harry to buy him some chicken in exchange for his work.
- Formerly Fit: In the anime he first joined Millennion as a skinny guy with a big appetite. But as time went by his huge consumption of fried food and lack of physical activity made him fatter and fatter until he reached morbid obesity in the present days.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Ballardbird Lee.
- Jabba Table Manners: He doesn't even practically chew the drumsticks, he inhales 'em by the bucketfull.
- Knowledge Broker: His job in Millennion.
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: A big fat Heli-Critter that produces skull-shaped bombs from his belly.
- Two Beings, One Body: Shows up in the second game as 1/3 of the Labratory boss, a mindless hybrid composed of himself, Bear, and Lee.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Chicken drumsticks.
Balladbird Lee
Balladbird Lee
- "Is the old man's daughter that important to you? Is it loyalty to Big Daddy? Such sentiments...from a corpse!"
Bob's best buddy, Lee will do anything and everything in his power to get what he wants. A sharply dressed Chinese man whose gentle exterior hides a much more sinister personality. He is the second of the Big Four that Grave must do battle with in order to get to Harry. Upon learning of Bob's fate during his battle with Grave, Lee utterly snaps.
Voiced by Steve Blum (English), Rafael Pacheco (Mexican Spanish) and Takehito Koyasu (Japanese) in the anime. In the original game he's voiced by Masaya Onosaka. (In an interview, Onosaka was surprised that he wasn't voicing the hero in Gungrave, which makes sense because Grave never speaks at all in the original game.)
- Absurdly Sharp Blade: Cuts off a train and a house in his One-Winged Angel form.
- Avenging the Villain (Let's say he was not happy when Bob returned from his fight with Grave full of holes.)
- Ax-Crazy: While he's composed and polite in his normal form, his Superior transformation leaves him cackling madly and reveling in bloodshed.
- Badass Normal: Lee is exceptionally good at sneaking before becoming a Superior. He curbstomps Harry (who has a gun) with needles and Super-Speed.
- Berserk Button: If you harm or insult Bob, Lee will do his (considerable) best to kill you. Very painfully.
- Diving Save: Does this to save Harry from Blood War's bullet. He takes it instead.
- Eyes Always Shut: Unless he transforms into his One-Winged Angel.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Bob
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: In the animation he can do this to people with blades that shoot out of his body at will.
- Kiai: A once quiet assassin, he indulges in this with relish after undergoing Superiorization.
- Kick the Dog: Has no qualms about throwing Mika out the window of a moving train.
- Maniac Tongue: His One-Winged Angel form in the anime. Complete with Laughing Mad and Slasher Smile.
- One-Winged Angel / Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot (His Superior form is a big creepy spider thing in the anime, and in the original game...for lack of a better description, is a samurai robotic bouncing chicken.)
- The Reveal: In the anime, he turns out to be related to Cannon Vulcan by blood. This is why Millennion's information is leaked to Lightning.
- Slipknot Ponytail: After transforming into his One-Winged Angel form.
- Spider Limbs: Anime only, in his superior form.
- Taking the Bullet: For Harry, in episode 11 of the anime.
- Two Beings, One Body: Shows up in the second game as 1/3 of the Labratory boss, a mindless hybrid composed of himself, Bob, and Bear.
- Undying Loyalty: To Harry.
- Wolverine Claws: The way he holds his needles makes it look like he has claws.
Bear Walken
Bear Walken
- "Everything I do...is for my daughter, Sherry."
One of Millennion's most skilled and loyal sweepers, Bear is also the overprotective father of Sherry. He is driven by the need to protect what is dear to him, similar to Brandon. He also becomes part of Harry's Big Four, and allows Sherry to be in a relationship with Harry.
Voiced by Ryūzaburō Ōtomo in Japanese and by Beau Billingslea in the anime's English dub.
- Absurdly Sharp Blade: Destroys a tree, a house, and Grave's Coffin with his katana in the anime.
- A Father to His Men (To his squad Overkill)
- Anti-Villain: In the anime, aside from trying to kill Brandon, he is a charismatic leader to his men and kind father who puts his daughter's happiness above all else.
- His reason of fighting Brandon? Because his daughter is Harry's wife, meaning that he is automatically on Harry's side (to watch over his daughter) and against Brandon. Before his death, he even apologizes to Brandon.
- Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: "Brandon, tell Harry that if he fools around with my daughter, I will kill him." He doesn't quite like the relationship between Harry and Sherry at first because Harry is a mafia, and his life is always at risk. If Sherry gets too close to him, her life is at risk too.
It happens to be true; Sherry dies in the crossfire between Harry and the splinter-faction Millennion agents. - Clipped-Wing Angel: Not in the game, but while his mutated form in the anime allows him to restrict Grave's movements, it also deprives him of his enhanced speed and makes him overconfident enough to charge at his enemy head-on. After getting shot by the anti-Superiorization bullets, he realizes that Grave was baiting him into doing something this rash all along.
- Face Death with Dignity: In the episode of his death, he has clearly admitted the choice he has made: choosing his daughter, which means that he sides with Harry. Later, he calmly lets Brandon execute him after losing the fight against him. At the same time, he begins reminiscing about her daughter and silently sheds Manly Tears.
- Foreshadowing In the anime, the execution of his best friend Cid Geralde who chose to take the blame for Cid's own son's grave mistake foreshadows the similar choice that Bear will make. And just like Cid's case, this results in Bear's death.
- Genre Savvy: Bear is very experienced in the underworld of mafia.
- Bear has warned Sherry that her life is at risk if she is in a relationship with Harry, a mafioso. Later, Sherry dies during a crossfire between Harry and a rebelling Millennion agent.
- Bear also warns Harry to proceed with caution after seeing how Harry treats his underlings. Later, assassination attempts on Harry keep happening since many people don't like his reign.
- Honor Before Reason: Examined more thoroughly in the anime. While he's initially of the mind that they should send all of their forces to attack "Beyond the Grave" all at once, Brandon's return causes Bear to reflect on his choices and his own betrayals, so much so that he opts to face him alone.
- Horrible Judge of Character: He trusted Harry McDowell with both the fate of Millennion and his daughter. Bear Walken was a good mafia boss but apparently terrible with people.
- Katanas Are Just Better: In the anime.
- Manly Tears: Sheds them after Sid's execution, with Sid's corpse in his arms. He then sheds them again right before his execution while his memory of Sherry's life plays.
- Multi-Armed and Dangerous (His One-Winged Angel forms)
- Giant Hands of Doom: Particularly in the animated series.
- Papa Wolf: In the anime.
- Person of Mass Destruction: In the anime, he destroys his dojo and much of the surrounding estate with his katana.
- Sequential Boss: In the game he is only member of the Four that has two Overkill forms/phases.
- "Get Back Here!" Boss: One of his attacks is a Megaton Punch which projects him to the other side of the battle area, out of the range of Grave's weapons. He then resumes pulling helicopters out of the sky to throw at you until you get in firing range again.
- Sinister Shades
- Sunglasses at Night
- Tragic Villain: His motive of trying to kill Brandon? His daughter is Harry's wife, and of course, he is on Harry's side.
- Two Beings, One Body: Shows up in the second game as 1/3 of the Labratory boss, a mindless hybrid composed of himself, Bob, and Lee.
Corsione Family
In General
Don Denito Corsione (UNMARKED SPOILERS)
Don Denito Corsione
- "I have a feeling that this will be a very close battle indeed."
The boss of the Corsione Family. Upon discovering the power of SEED and Orgmen, which was supposedly destroyed by Grave but apparently not completely, his influence on the underworld spread like wildfire. He is closely guarded by Sherry, the Orgmen, and Zell's mercenary brigade. Garino is his adopted son. The Don's ultimate goal is to take full control of the underworld using Seed and the Orgmen, like Harry before him.
He is ultimately double-crossed by his adopted son Garino, who just saw him as a pawn. Garino had been supposedly plotting to take the title of Don for years, and when it finally came to fruition, Garino had Corsione infected with a Seed parasite, which transforms him into a mutated Orgman that Grave, Billy, or Juji must kill.
Voiced by: James Horan
- Disc-One Final Boss: He's set up to be the man behind the Seed outbreak, but then he's double-crossed by Garino, who is the true mastermind.
- High-Altitude Battle: Fought on a plane that's been set with explosives.
- Katanas Are Just Better: He carries one around with him everywhere. His mutant form also swings it at the player whenever they get close during his boss fight.
- One-Winged Angel: Forced to become one.
- Yakuza: Despite his European-sounding name, he styles himself after one, complete with carrying a katana with him.
Garino Creale Corsione (UNMARKED SPOILERS)
Garino Creale Corsione
- "You haven't beaten me yet."
He is the primary antagonist of Gungrave: Overdose who is the adopted son of Don Corsione, and head of the Corsione Family's Research Department. A blond-haired man sharply dressed in a blue suit, he is incredibly intelligent and commands the ferocious necrolizer, Fangoram. He has a rather cold personality and was given anything he ever wanted since childhood. Has a habit of talking down to people (seems to have a bit of a god complex), and seems to be after something greater than just controlling Seed trafficking.
He reveals that everything behind Seed and the Necrolization Project is the result of Methuselah, a parasitic alien race that came to the planet eons ago. Methuselah only wanted to reproduce and take over the lives of others, so Garino struck a deal with the aliens' "Will". In exchange for Methuselah's advanced technology, Garino agreed to infect every living thing on the planet with Seed, and then leave in the Starship to move on to other planets. He believed himself to be a god when he acquired this power, however, he is ultimately defeated when Grave joins up with Billy and Juji to blow him away with the combined power of their Final Demolition Shots. Garino relinquishes a "counter seed", which is used to cure Mika's infection.
Voiced by: Robin Atkin Downes
- A God Am I: He appears to possess something of a god complex, viewing his deal with the Methuselah as a means to ascend to the cosmos.
- Big Bad: Of Overdose.
- Boss Banter: "Witness my strength!" "Bow down before me!" ...And so on
- Carrying the Antidote: Forks over a prototype seed neutralization medicine for Mika after you beat him, so maybe he's not a total Jerkass.
- Final Boss: Brandon fights him as the last boss Overdose.
- Load-Bearing Boss: His arena collapses after he's defeated.
- Klingon Promotion: Becomes the head of the Carsione Family by double-crossing and infecting his adoptive father with a Seed parasite.
- The Man Behind the Man: He's the true mastermind behind the proliferation of Seed.
- Power Floats: During phase 2 of his boss battle.
- Sequential Boss: He first fires at you from a distance with an elaborate weaponized organ that you have to destroy. Afterwards, you fight him head-on.
- Shielded Core Boss: He's protected by a barrier during the first phase of the battle. Destroying the generators flanking the area is the only way to break it.
- Time Master: With the power given to him by the methuselah parasites and the starship he can manipulate time and space on a small scale.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Tries to do this to damn near everyone at some point.
Fangoram
Fangoram
- "You traitor! You kill Fangoram's friends...You kill deadmen! Fangoram full of hatred. Must kill...Must kill YOU!"
A vicious and cruel prototype necrolizer that is first seen in Overdose (almost seeming like Grave's evil counterpart) who serves as Garino's sweeper and bodyguard. He is feared by many and thought to be the world's strongest necrolizer by sheer destructive power, as he is the only being capable of wielding the Center Head, a large gun of otherworldly strength and the last of the Cerberus line of weapons. He is filled with hatred towards Grave, as Fangoram lost his jaw and many of his "comrades" to Grave and swore to get revenge someday.
Voiced by Steve Blum.
- BFG The Center Head of Cerberus, which fires rounds the size of footballs and nearly kills Grave in one shot. The recoil of firing is also weaponized, allowing Fangoram to make several shots around him by swinging the gun with the recoil, making him a threat in any direction.
- The Dragon: He is Garino's right-hand man.
- Evil Counterpart: To Grave. Both dress in identical colors with the same motifs and use Cerberus-line weaponry. While Grave is silent, thoughtful, and agile whose fighting style is based on accuracy and rapid-fire shooting, Fangoram is a loud, brutish thug who switches between slow, singular shots and reckless shooting frenzies. They both seem to care for their allies (as seen in the quote above) and both hide their scars to some degree as well, with Grave missing his left eye and Fangoram hiding his bloody mouth.
- Facial Horror: When his mask comes off, there's a good shot of his mouth, which has been stripped of all flesh and has jagged teeth. Makes you wonder how he holds onto his cigarettes...
- Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: Does it through his mask.
- Hulk Speak: Evident in his quote, of course.
- Spikes of Villainy: Sports some impressive ones on his boots.
- There Is No Kill Like Overkill: On the receiving end of a massive one by whoever fights him. Grave's get's special mention for the fact that he finishes him off by nailing him with a thermonuclear railgun blast. Guess he wasn't taking any chances after their first round...
Sherry Walken MacDowell
Sherry Walken MacDowell
- "This one's for Harry MacDowell...Now it's your turn...BRANDON HEAT."
Bear Walken's only daughter, her well-being is of Bear's utmost concern. After being thoroughly convinced by Harry that she was okay in his hands, Bear allows them to marry. She fell in love with Harry at first sight during Harry and Brandon's induction ceremony to Big Daddy's inner circle, "The Family".
In the video game series, after the deaths of her father and Harry, she returns in Overdose as one of Don Corsione's bodyguards and also is his adviser. Her one true wish is to get revenge on Grave, the man who killed both her father and her beloved Harry. Her newfound rebirth as a necrolizer will help her see to that.
Voiced by: Dorothy Elias-Fahn (EN; Anime), Renee Raudman (EN; Overdose)
- Avenging the Villain: She wants to kill Grave to avenge her father's and her husband's death. Although not quite explained in the game, she's already died once, and someone turned her into a deadwoman.
- Died in Your Arms Tonight: In the anime, in Harry's arms.
- Impossibly Cool Weapon: She wields a crossbow/bludgeon/blade-shooter hybrid...thing called "Soul Reaver". (Not that Soul Reaver though...)
- Mafia Princess: Though technically not a top one like Mika as Bear was more of a high-ranking subordinate.
- The Smurfette Principle: While she isn't the only female character in the series, she's the only female boss you'll fight.
Zell Condorbrave
Zell/Zele Condorbrave
- "Don't confuse us for others who've never fought your kind before."
In Overdose, Zell leads a group of mercenaries who were hired by Don Corsione as extra security. He and his group are pretty much normal humans who have developed a special anti-Deadman technique, which they have used to fight and destroy at least four Deadmen. At his command, his soldiers will gang up on their target and bind it with chains. The immobilized target is then blasted with Zell's custom anti-Deadman rifle.
Voiced by: Banjo Ginga (JP; Overdose), Akio Ōtsuka (JP; G.O.R.E.), Steve Blum (EN; Overdose), Daniel Joey Albright (EN; G.O.R.E.)
- Badass Normal: He possesses no supernatural or superhuman powers, but through raw tactics and firepower, he can take on the infamously difficult to kill Deadmen.
- BFG: His "Bloody Omen" is a modified anti-deadman gun.
- A Father to His Men: He's very personable with his squad, even proposing to go on vacation with them after he's spared in Overdose. In G.O.R.E., he turns against the Raven Clan after finding out that the security detail he and his men were signed up on was actually secretly a guard job for a SEED refinery. To him, it's an outrage that his men died to protect a drug trade.
- Flunky Boss: In Overdose, you can't even damage him until you knock off his minions. Then he summons more! Thankfully, though he remains this type of boss in G.O.R.E., getting rid of his men is no longer required to open him up to damage.
- Friendly Sniper: He's opposing Grave due to his squad being contracted to hunt Deadmen, but he's a pretty chipper guy in actuality. He also lugs around a positively massive sniper rifle.
- Graceful Loser: Calmly admits his defeat at Grave's hands before proposing towards take a vacation to his men.
- Heel–Face Turn: Not that he was ever much of a heel, but he joins Grave's side in G.O.R.E. after discovering that he was tricked into guarding one of the Raven Clan's SEED refineries.
- Invisibility Cloak: He gains this in G.O.R.E., replacing his previous evasion method where he used trapdoors.
- Not What I Signed Up For: In G.O.R.E., he turns against his new employers, the Raven Clan, after discovering that he was duped into guarding one of their SEED refineries. He'll hunt down Deadmen, but he doesn't consider himself a stooge for drug kingpins.
Raven Clan
Raven Clan's Emblem
An internationally notorious mafia organization who are the main handler of the drug Seed, and the main antagonists in Gungrave: G.O.R.E. The organization is chosen by "The Man" to rule over Scumland, a mysterious island in Southeast Asia by the South China Sea, which is also where they make Seed, which they use to gain power to grow their influence. Under the loyalty of several other mafia groups, mercenaries, and Seed-addicted Orgmen, the Raven Clan took control of the whole island. However, unbeknownst to anyone, they are being controlled like puppets. In General
- Gangster Land: Their home base is found on an island called "Scumland," and it's an appropriately Wretched Hive.
- Kung Fu-Proof Mook: "Bulletproof Mook," technically — the troopers armed with shields will resist Grave's regular gunshots; he has to use the Death Hauler, Rage Mode, or a Demolition Shot to disable the shield so he can hit them.
- The Mafia: They and their goons are frequently referred to this as such.
- Triads and Tongs: Given that the Raven Clan is based in Southeast Asia, however, it's closer to the Triads.
- N.G.O. Superpower: For a criminal drug cartel, they've got the resources to not only hire professional soldiers and buy military transports, but also have a public front as a legitimate corporation.
- One-Winged Angel: The heads of the Raven Clan with the exception of Who-Knows-Who have "Superior" forms that they break out during their boss fights.
- Unwitting Pawn: To "Who-Knows-Who," whose purpose is less about conventional world domination and more about unleashing Seed on the whole planet.
Yensen the Boostmaster
The boss of the Raven Clan's Hong Kong chapter. As a ruthless assassin and talented chemist, he's responsible for both the Raven Clan's Seed experiments and carrying out assassinations on the clan's enemies. When Grave drives off the raid on El-Alcangel's hideout in Hong Kong, the ensuing mayhem causes Yensen to investigate.
- Bad Boss: After the expert martial artist he sends after Grave is beaten, Yensen casually murders said subordinate himself before challenging Grave.
- Blood Knight: His in-game subtitles identify him as a psychotic killer who revels in bloodshed.
- Doppelgänger Attack: One of Yensen's chief tactics, both before and after injecting himself with the Superior formula, is to manifest copies of himself to attack Grave from multiple directions.
- Evil Genius: Dialogue in cutscenes suggests that he's involved with experimenting with Seed to give it new properties. At the very least, he customized the Superior injection he gives himself in the second phase of his duel with Grave.
- Fragile Speedster: Yensen's clones are able to close in on Grave quickly, but it doesn't take that many shots to get rid of them.
- Guyliner: It's subtle, but he seems to employ eye shadow.
- Laser Blade: His cyberpunk katana seems to incorporate this into its blade.
- Katanas Are Just Better: Yensen's preferred weapon. Given that it's got cutting-edge technology integrated into its design, and considering Yensen's formidable skill and agility, it's easily able to match Grave's firepower.
- Malevolent Masked Man: He rocks a Mortal Kombat-worthy mouth protector in his normal form, which does nothing to hide his sadism. He adopts a full, face-covering mask as part of his One-Winged Angel form.
- Multi-Armed and Dangerous: His Superior form comes with a host of additional cybernetic limbs, several of which are wielding katanas.
- Never Bring a Gun to a Knife Fight: Yensen eschews the use of firearms in favor of his katana, but he's still more than capable of keeping up with the gunslinging Grave.
- The Starscream: To an extent; he and Big Wushen were skimming shipments of Seed without Ganpo's knowledge, and built a hidden Seed refinery to purify it behind his back.
- Sword Beam: He starts spamming this in the second phase of his fight. Grave can use the Death Hauler's melee strikes to reflect them right back at Yensen.
- Underestimating Badassery: Yensen isn't too impressed with Grave at first, and assumes he won't need to really try to beat him. He admits to this trope after Grave forces him to break out his Superior form.
Big Wushen
The head of the Raven Clan's operations in Malaysia. Through her official job as a singer, she uses her supernaturally-beautiful voice to enthrall almost anyone who hears her siren melodies. Alluring and arrogant in equal measure, she manipulates everyone around her in the service of creating her own vision of paradise.
- Bad Boss: She knowingly sends her enthralled minions after Grave to slow him down, and is quite dismissive of their deaths upon being confronted.
- Compelling Voice: Her singing voice seems to have inhuman properties. Not only does it make people more open to suggestion, but it can even trigger Seed reactions in the body of the listener.
- Crosshair Aware: One of her attacks sets up discs of light on the ground. You don't want to be there when they detonate.
- Death Cry Echo: Fittingly enough, for a singer, she lets one out after Grave delivers the coup de grace.
- Fan Disservice: Her One-Winged Angel form has one exposed breast. However, her Superior transformation leans more towards a design that's more creepy than titilating.
- Flunky Boss: She summons Seed mutants during her boss fight.
- Gemstone Assault: One of her attacks in her One-Winged Angel form is a wave of purple crystals that slices towards Grave across the ground.
- God Save Us from the Queen!: She certainly styles herself as a queen. Specifically, not the kind who rules for the sake of her subjects.
- Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: She doesn't bother to change out of her Pimped-Out Dress before fighting Grave. After being forced into her Superior form, she declares that she'll have a new dress fashioned from Grave's skin once she kills him.
- Light 'em Up: She fights by unleashing a vibrant light show of lasers.
- Living MacGuffin: Grave specifically targets her because he needs a blood sample from her to help reverse-engineer a cure for Mika's condition.
- Power Nullifier: Her singing can disable Grave's Death Hauler, leaving him unable to use it so long as a purple aura surrounds the weapon.
- Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Wushen's pale skin contrasts her dark hair nicely.
- Witch with a Capital "B": She's described repeatedly as a witch — specifically, in regards to her being a nasty piece of work.
- Woman of Wealth and Taste: She lives in a high-rise skyscraper with, among other things, a lavish casino and a penthouse suite worthy of royalty.
- The Smurfette Principle: She's the Raven Clan's only female top executive, and she plays up her beauty for all its worth.
Turonty
The Raven Clan's underboss, second only to Ganpo himself. By the time of Gungrave GORE, he's overseeing the Raven Clan's plans in Singapore, which puts him in Grave's path. Though he may seem to be just an arrogant old man, one doesn't live this long in the criminal underworld by being a pushover...
- Badass in a Nice Suit: Turonty rocks a snazzy white suit, complete with top hat and monocle.
- Classy Cane: He leans on a rather ornate walking stick, presumably due to his age. It doubles as a Boom Stick.
- The Dragon: As the underboss of the Raven Clan, he's this to Ganpo.
- Evil Old Folks: Age hasn't done anything to make Turonty any less of a vicious crime boss.
- Flash Step: He warps around during the first stage of his fight with Grave.
- High-Class Glass: Part of Turonty's outfit includes a monocle.
- Old Master: His advanced age doesn't stop him from throwing down with Grave personally.
- Painfully Slow Projectile: During the last half of both phases of his boss fight, Turonty will unleash an endless stream of blue energy spheres that spread out in multiple directions, leaving Grave with practically no room to maneuver.
- Secret-Keeper: Along with Ganpo, he's the only member of the Raven Clan who knows about Who-Knows-Who.
Ganpo Essex
The founder and big boss of the Raven Clan. After being expelled from his former gang for using and dealing in Seed, Ganpo started his own operation to ressurect the distribution of the deadly designer drug. Now, under his leadership, the Raven Clan has become the top supplier of Seed across the world; Ganpo's ambition is to use the influence provided by his drugs to control the world. Behind his sharp suit and overcoat, he's as much of a brute as a street thug, and isn't afraid to get his own hands dirty when Grave comes looking for him.
- Artificial Limbs: His right arm has been replaced with a mechanical prosthetic that's larger than his real left arm. Not only does he use it for dashing punches, but it's equipped with an integrated Arm Cannon of the Gatling Good and Energy Weapon varieties.
- Bad Boss: Judging by his remarks to Grave before their fight, he didn't expect his lieutenants to survive fighting the latter. He's not at all remorseful for their deaths, dismissing them as speed bumps before the showdown between himself and Grave.
- Big Bad Wannabe: He sees himself as a big-shot global crime boss, and he does have the clout, resources, and personal strength to fulfill that ambition. In the end, however, his secret backer, Who-Knows-Who, is a lot more dangerous.
- Blood Knight: Of all the Raven Clan's top executives, he's the one who relishes a fight with Grave the most.
- The Brute: Compared to his lieutenants, Ganpo's a thug without much in the way of refinement outside his classy suit.
- Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Harry was Grave's old friend and (depending on the anime or game) showed humanizing traits. Garino was cold and aloof, but proved himself to be a Graceful Loser. Both were composed and had a certain sense of class. And then there's Ganpo, whose high-ranking status does nothing to curb his thuggish mannerisms.
- Death by Irony: Ganpo primarily fights with various punching attacks. In the end, Grave finishes him off with one of his melee-oriented Demolition Shots.
- Defiant to the End: After getting worn down in the first phase of his fight, Ganpo loudly declares that he's not going down any more easily than Grave himself would.
- Evil Makes You Monstrous: The Superior-induced transformation isn't pretty for any of the Raven Clan's leadership, but Ganpo takes it to a whole new level — his One-Winged Angel form resembles a massive cybernetic gorilla, with nothing of his original appearance left.
- Energy Weapon: He fires an armor-piercing laser in both of his forms — the first phase sees the beam mounted on his cybernetic arm; his Superior form has it grafted into his chest.
- The Heavy: Who-Knows-Who might be the Raven Clan's secret backer, but Ganpo's the one running the day-to-day operations.
- Power Fist: His cybernetic arm can be supercharged for fiery punching attacks.
- Shockwave Stomp: One of his attacks is to leap high in the air and come down with enough force to shake the ground with a wave of expanding force.
- Smug Smiler: He's got an arrogant grin on his face in every cutscene he features in.
- Tattooed Crook: He sports some jagged tattoos on the left side of his face.
Who-Knows-Who (Endgame Spoilers for G.O.R.E.)
The enigmatic mastermind behind the Raven Clan's rise to power. His exact goals are a mystery, but his willingness to endorse the spread of Seed implies that whatever he's got in mind will be bad news for the rest of the world.
- Assimilation Plot: As the herald of Methuselah, the alien hive-mind behind Seed, he strives to help them absorb every living thing on the planet.
- Big Bad: He's the final threat of Gungrave GORE, and the one pulling the strings of the Raven Clan.
- Badass Long Robe: He's draped in a flowing cloak, complete with a hood draped over his masked visage.
- Cyborg: It's unclear how much of his organic body, if any, remains.
- Dark Is Evil: He's draped in a dark robe and seems to prefer dimly-lit surroundings. He's also cold and merciless.
- Dark Lord on Life Support: Subverted. Though he's hooked up to a plethora of cables and tubes, he's still very much a dangerous adversary.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": If he has a name beyond Who-Knows-Who, it's never brought up.
- The Evils of Free Will: He includes this as part of his Motive Rant, claiming that the world will be better off assimilated into a single hive mind.
- Malevolent Masked Man: His face is concealed by an eerie mask.
- Multi-Armed and Dangerous: He has two pairs of arms.
- Necromancer: Who-Knows-Who uses something called "the Specter Project" to ressurect Bunji for the events of Gungrave G.O.R.E. He also revives Balladbird Lee and Bear Walken to fight Grave in the peniultimate level.
- Really 700 Years Old: Dr. Aso speculates that this man was the first person to set foot back on Scumland in ancient times. If so, the Methuselah that made the island turned him into an immortal when they made him their herald.
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: Combine his aforementioned Dark Is Evil Badass Long Robe with his blood-red energy attacks, and Who-Knows-Who applies for this trope.
- Transhuman Treachery: Though he Was Once a Man, he has no qualms about having all humanity consumed and assimilated by Seed.
- Was Once a Man: If legends are true, he used to be a regular human when he first set foot on Scumland. In the present day, he's clearly not human. Not anymore.
Others
"Madman" Bunji Kugashira
"Madman" Bunji Kugashira
- "You did everything for the company, like I do. Everything I'm about to do and have ever done, it has been a fight with you."
A recurring antagonist in the series, and originally a sweeper for Millenion and a member of the criminal organization's Big Four. When Grave was still Brandon, Bunji was Brandon's apprentice. Bunji had lots of admiration for his mentor, and together formed their own sweeper group called True Grave. While Bunji had great skills, he still ended up playing second banana to Brandon's impeccable marksmanship and couldn't really work with anyone else but Brandon, whom he often called "brother" as a term of endearment. Their partnership fell apart after Brandon's death and resurrection as Grave, which drove Bunji, as the last of the Big Four, to have one goal: to be the one that defeats Grave and "outshining his teacher". He had himself infused with Seed to help him with the task. Although killed in the original game, the Corsione Family gave him life in the form of a deadman, which allowed him to confront Grave one more time, as a thin man wrapped in bandages and the ability to project "spirit wolves" to attack. He returns again in Gungrave G.O.R.E., being brought back to life without his memories.
Voiced by: Fumihiko Tachiki (JP), Steve Blum (EN; Overdose), Lex Lang (EN; Anime), Ben Gray (EN; G.O.R.E.), Alejandro Ortega (SP; Anime Adaptation)
- Aloof Ally: He starts off as this initially, being unable to work with anyone other than Brandon Heat. As Brandon garners more prestige with the family, Bunji starts growing more comfortable with him and the other members of True Grave. At least up until Brandon's death. It's also worth noting that, among Harry's inner circle, he's the most fickle due to his solo operations.
- Arbitrary Skepticism: Despite knowing that necrolization is real, and seeing him with his own two eye, Bunji bothers to dig up Brandon's coffin to make absolutely sure he's Grave.
- Ascended Extra: In the first two games, he was an antagonist. In G.O.R.E, he's one of the playable characters.
- Back from the Dead: After his first death, he is resurrected as a Deadman. He dies again near the end of Overdose, but not even that death managed to stick as the Raven Clan's Big Bad revived him yet again, this time with no memories of his past.
- Bad Boss: Had a bad habit of shooting his own men back when he worked with Millenion.
- Badass Normal: He pulls a Big Damn Heroes moment to help Brandon deal with Blood War and his Necrolyzers, and is able to handle himself pretty well. In the game, it's implied that, unlike the rest of the group, Bunji is the only person who hasn't undergone any sort of Seed-altering enhancements. This is subverted in OverDose, where he becomes an Empowered Badass Normal as a Deadman.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: As a result of being brought back through Who-Knows-Who's experiments, he's programmed to kidnap Mika and kill Grave and anyone else standing in his way. He nearly kills Quartz as a result, only for Grave to beat the brainwashing right out of him.
- Bring It: In his last duel with Brandon/Grave in the anime, which elicits a smile from his former mentor and friend.
- Cain and Abel: He's Juji's older brother and the latter wants to kill Garino. Naturally, he has to kill Bunji to do it.
- Cool Shades: He is never seen without these. The only time they came off was when Grave punches him repeatedly and blows them off of his face.
- Defeat Equals Friendship: Bunji refused to join Millennion unless he was beaten in a fight. One ass-kicking from Brandon, and he signed up on the spot, even going on to join his new boss' True Grave hit squad.
- Fights Like a Normal: It's implied in the first game that Bunji, unlike Lee, Walken, or Poundmax, never injected himself with Seed. He nonetheless gives Grave the fight of his life. This is subverted in the anime, where he's explicitly stated to be a Superior like Lee and Poundmax.
- Guns Akimbo: He's as capable with his dual pistols as Grave is.
- Healing Factor: He has a regenerative ability in the anime, due to his status as a Superior.
- Heel–Face Turn: After spending two games fighting Grave, he decides to turn on the new Big Bad in G.O.R.E. who resurrected him rather than fight Grave again.
- Hitman with a Heart: Aside from being a Kindhearted Cat Lover, Bunji is not totally heartless. When he has Grave dead to rights and Mika tries to stop him, he opens fire on her but never actually tries to kill her. This is in spite of the fact Millennion and Harry especially wants her dead. In the game, he actually saves her and asks her to deliver a message to Grave, asking for one final bout.
- Honor Before Reason: In their last confrontation, Bunji notices Grave's body is rapidly deteoriating. Instead of dragging out the fight and winning it that way, he opts for a good old-fashioned draw between them.
- Hot-Blooded: Somewhat. Before joining Millennion, Bunji was a hellraiser who started growing out of this after Brandon beat him and he joined the latter's unit.
- Hot Blooded Sideburns: Sports these under Harry's regime.
- I Am a Monster: In OverDose Bunji loathes himself for being a brutish deadman, and this mentality turned his implanted seed into a spirit wolf.
- Kindhearted Cat Lover: In the anime, he adopts a cat.
- Mirror Boss: In the original game and the sequel he has the ability to regenerate his health, just like Grave can—and in the original game he can use his own Graveyard Special against the player.
- Noble Demon: Bunji may be a ruthless, aloof hitman who is said to have killed everybody who works under him, but he is an honorable person who Wouldn't Hurt a Child (even if the child has annoyed him very much; he'll just yell and scare the child with misdirected gunshots) and honors every promise he has made.
- Nothing Up My Sleeve: Keeps his guns (and extra bullets!) in the sleeves of his jacket.
- One Last Smoke: After losing to Grave in both the game and anime, he has one last smoke before he expires.
- Perma-Stubble: Has this in his later years and in G.O.R.E.
- Professional Killer: Became this after he joined Millennion and fought alongside Brandon. He grew more ruthless after Brandon's death and reformed True Grave as the Kugashira Group.
- Promoted to Playable: He becomes a playable character in G.O.R.E..
- Red Baron: In the anime, he's called the Madman due to his reckless fighting style and lack of self-preservation, not helped by his gung-ho attitude.
- Redemption Earns Life: After dying twice, he finally gets a full lease on life in G.O.R.E. after turning on the being who brought him back the second time around, Who-Knows-Who, and helping Grave kill him.
- Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: Harry asks Bunji to join the Millennion and offers to pay him higher than the Gashaw Gang does, but Bunji refuses because he's working under the gang due to honor. Bunji later joins the Millennion after being betrayed by the Gashaw Gang and (probably) defeated by Brandon in a fistfight, in which he honors his promise to join the organization.
- Smoking Is Cool: Bunji really likes to smoke whenever he's got the chance.
- Sunglasses at Night: He never takes his Cool Shades off. The only time they come off is in the anime where Grave repeatedly smashes his face in.
- Super Gullible: Outside of fights, he doesn't have two thoughts to rub together and is extremely easy to fool. Although, after he's brought back to life, he bemoans having to act as a pawn for others, which is made more tragic due to it happening again twice in a row.
- The Reveal: He's not only been resurrected as a Deadman by the Corsione Family, but he's also Juji's older brother.
- Undying Loyalty: To Harry for indirectly saving his life from the Gashaw Gang.
- Would Hurt a Child: After he takes over Brandon's Grave unit, he forgoes his policy of minimizing collateral damage and shows a willingness to kill innocents who are in the way of his targets, including their kids. Over a decade later, he appears to have softened with age, leading him to try and scare away the harmless Mika so he can have at it with his old partner.
- Wouldn't Hurt a Child: He clearly states that he has no interest in kids and asks Mika to leave Grave while they fight. He even chooses to fire misdirected shots to scare Mika instead of shooting her although he is clearly annoyed when she begs him not to kill Grave. In the game, he actually saves her and has her deliver a message to Grave, saying it's time to settle the score.
- Yakuza: Became this after being persuaded to join Millennion by Harry. He quickly comes to enjoy the lifestyle, though that feeling doesn't last very long after Brandon's death.
Orgmen
Orgmen
The main product of the Necrolization/Seed Project, these bioweapons are often known as the "Black Suits" or "Blue-white men". They are mass-produced and cultivated in Harry's labs to serve as his enforcers. They are also the result of test subjects with sub-optimal mental and physical strength to control the Seed implanted in them. Orgman stands for "re-organized man". These beings have no sense of self or free thought, possessing considerable strength in exchange for their heart and soul. When destroyed they shatter into blue-white crystals and are subconsciously connected to something more than human.
These are the creatures that attacked Mika in Butler Tokioka's car (and Dr. T.'s truck in the anime) when she was fleeing from Harry's agents. Butler Tokioka loses his life to one, holding it off long enough for Mika to escape.
- Adaptational Backstory Change: In the game, the Orgmen are humans injected with SEED, a Hive Mind parasite disguised as an enhancer drug. In the anime, they're undead monsters resurrected with modern science. In both continuities, however, they're still the foot soldiers of whatever faction has them, be it Millennion or the Corsione family.
- Mooks: They serve as soldiers for the various crime syndicates in the series, and come in many shapes and sizes
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Even in their most human form, their eyes are pure red with no visible pupils or sclera, indicating their inhuman nature.
- Red Right Hand: For some reason most of them have two small wings growing from their neck. The official artbook reveals that those wings actually come from a parasitic organism growing inside of their body.
- Super-Soldier: They were cultivated in Harry's labs to act as his enforcers and possess superhuman agility and strength as well as transformative abilities.
