Description
Doctor Hausen is a researcher affiliated with the United Nations research efforts surrounding the ancient artifacts and the extraterrestrial threat known as the Efidolg. He holds significant authority within the scientific community working on these projects, and by the end of the series, he is given broad discretion to conduct experiments on captured enemy pilots.
An expert in fields such as anatomy and biochemistry, Hausen is portrayed as a man with an obsessive and fervent dedication to his research subjects. This intense focus on his work is a driving force in his life, having a profound impact on his personal relationships. It is revealed that he is the estranged father of Jundai Kayahara, one of the students at the local high school, and that his divorce from Jundai's mother occurred because he prioritized his scientific pursuits over his family. His personality is such that his daring and unconventional attitude is a trait seemingly passed down to his son.
In the narrative, Hausen serves as a key scientific figure, often providing crucial analysis and making startling discoveries that drive the plot forward. One of his most significant contributions is his analysis of the DNA of the protagonist Yukina Shirahane and the enemy pilot Muetta. He discovers that the two share identical DNA, leading to the conclusion that Yukina was taken by mistake in a capture operation, a revelation that fundamentally alters the understanding of the connection between the ancient past and the present conflict. He is also present during the final stages of the conflict, involved in the research surrounding the advanced technology recovered from the Efidolg mothership.
His relationships are primarily defined by his work. He is a colleague of the other researchers at the institute, but his most notable personal connection is with his son, Jundai. Despite their estrangement, Jundai visits him in the lab during the climax of the series, acknowledging their relationship while using the opportunity to obtain video recording equipment. His role as a father is distant, framed by his all-consuming career.
Throughout the series, Dr. Hausen does not pilot mecha or engage in direct combat. His notable abilities lie entirely within the realm of scientific inquiry. He is shown to develop technology, such as a medication that has adverse effects on the nanomachines conferring conditional immortality to certain characters. He is also the creator of a unique bauble given to Yukina, which later serves as a means to confirm that the samurai Kennosuke is still alive after a long separation.
