I once obtained a translation of Heinel\'s character bio in the Roman Album. It didn\'t say a word about cruelty, ruthlessness, brutality or racism. It said that he was a graceful bishonan with a beautiful voice, and went on to descibe his [[TheWoobie woobieful]] past, his motivation for following Zanbajir, and his refusal to shed tears. The fold-out poster in the album shows Heinel and Kenichi clasping hands and smiling---not the sort of thing you\'d draw for a [[CardCarryingVillain character you\'re supposed to boo and hiss]]. I have in my hands a guidebook to the show whose back cover (drawn by the origional character designer) shows Kenichi and Heinel with identical expressions of heroic resolve. The anime magazines of the time played up his [[WorthyOpponent sympathetic]] characteristics. There is a illustration in one of them, which I unfortunately don\'t have, that shows him smiling down among the flames, extending his sword in a warrior\'s blessing--not damned at all, but [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence transformed into a fiery angel]].

Lastly, it\'s hard to believe that Nagahama was unaware of the [[EnsambleDarkhorse phenominal popularity]] of the other bishonen baddies, especially his own [[CombattlerV Garuda]]. I mean, [[http://users.animanga.com/voltesv/faq/trivia.html look at these poll results]]. How periferal could a demographic be that involves 60% of your fans? If a response this lopsided is accidental, somebody screwed up somewhere.
