Description
Hedo is the first enemy pilot encountered in the series, serving the Efidolg force. He is the pilot of a Geoframe mecha designated as Yellow Crab by the United Nations forces. When first seen, he wears a horned helmet, which creates an intimidating and monstrous impression. However, upon removing the helmet during a battle, he is revealed to have a relatively plain and normal human appearance with green hair, which contrasts sharply with the fearsome image of his kind as "demons" or "ghosts" from the perspective of the protagonists. He is capable of speaking an archaic form of the Japanese language, allowing for direct communication with the characters.
Hedo's primary role in the story is to serve as an initial major threat, engaging the protagonist Kennosuke Tokisada Ouma in combat. He is portrayed as a dedicated and aggressive soldier for Efidolg, driven by duty. His core motivation appears rooted in his loyalty to his organization, as shown by his outrage toward what he perceives as a betrayal from within. During his final confrontation, which takes place at Toyama International Airport, he questions why the wielder of Glongur, a reference to Kennosuke's Black Relic, has chosen to betray Efidolg and side with the enemy.
Hedo does not undergo a significant personal development arc, as his presence in the narrative is relatively brief. After being defeated in battle with the help of reinforcements, he decides to commit suicide. Rather than being captured, he triggers the self-destruct mechanism of his downed mecha. This act serves as a final attempt to take his enemies with him, resulting in a massive explosion that destroys half of the airport. This choice highlights a fanatical or honor-bound streak in his personality, as he chooses death over defeat or potential interrogation, effectively committing a form of seppuku in his mecha.
He has a direct adversarial relationship with Kennosuke Tokisada Ouma, the ancient samurai piloting the Black Relic, with whom he fights multiple times. In their first battle, Kennosuke severs the right arm of Hedo's Yellow Crab, forcing Hedo to retreat and return later with a replacement arm for his mecha to continue the fight. His key relationships with other Efidolg members, such as the squad leader Lefil, are not extensively detailed in the available information. In terms of notable abilities, Hedo is a capable pilot of his Geoframe, holding his own in combat against the Black Relic. His most defining action is his willingness to self-destruct, demonstrating that his combat abilities extend to a final, desperate act of destruction that endangers a wide area.
