Description
Dr. Hausen is a researcher affiliated with the Kurobe laboratory, the primary setting for much of the series. He is a significant figure due to his connection to Jundai Kayahara, a prominent member of the cast, as it is revealed that Dr. Hausen is Jundai's father. This paternal relationship is presented as a surprise, and it explains certain traits observed in his son, such as Jundai's bold and daring personality, which he is noted to have inherited from his father.
Dr. Hausen's personal life is marked by his dedication to his work; he is divorced from Jundai's mother because he chose to focus entirely on his research. This decision paints a picture of a man consumed by his scientific pursuits, often to the detriment of his family relationships. His character fits the archetype of a driven scientist, sometimes described with terms that suggest an unconventional or even ruthless approach to experimentation.
Within the narrative, Dr. Hausen holds a position of authority and trust, particularly as the series moves toward its conclusion. In the aftermath of the final conflict, he is given significant leeway to conduct experiments on captured extraterrestrial pilots, including an Efidolg pilot and Muetta, an allied alien. His methods are not without concern, as he administers medication to these subjects that induces fatigue, raising questions about the potential side effects of his research, such as the disruption of the nanomachines that grant conditional immortality to certain characters.
Despite his seemingly cold and obsessive nature, Dr. Hausen plays a key role in providing a sense of closure and hope for the main protagonist, Yukina. He creates a special bauble or trinket that she keeps, which serves as a means for her to know that Kennosuke Tokisada Ouma, the other lead character, is still alive years after his departure. This act demonstrates that beneath his clinical exterior, he possesses a degree of sentiment and plays a guiding role in the younger generation's journey, ultimately contributing to the technological advancements that allow for interstellar travel by providing access to captured alien technology. He does not pilot mecha or fight directly, but his abilities lie in his scientific expertise and his willingness to push the boundaries of research on advanced, potentially dangerous subjects.
