Description
Great Britain, designated Cyborg 007, is a central figure in the anime Cyborg 009: Call of Justice. A native of England, his real name is never revealed. In this incarnation, he is portrayed as a middle-aged man, visibly older than many of his fellow cyborgs, with a completely bald head, gray eyes, and prominent signs of aging such as crow’s feet and dark circles under his eyes. He wears a redesigned 00 Cyborg uniform consisting of a bright red, high-collared armored vest over a dark red bodysuit, complemented by black armored boots and his signature yellow scarf.
The character’s background, while not exhaustively detailed in this specific series, is built on a foundation established in prior iterations of the franchise. Before being forcibly turned into a cyborg, he was a famous and talented stage actor in the United Kingdom. However, following a fall from grace due to personal and financial problems, he became a penniless individual struggling with alcoholism. It was during this vulnerable state that agents of the terrorist organization Black Ghost lured him with an alcoholic beverage and abducted him, transforming him into a weapon. His primary function, as designed by Black Ghost, was to serve as the ultimate infiltrator and spy.
In Call of Justice, Great Britain is depicted as having left his active combat role behind. Following the establishment of a UN counter-terrorist force known as the Guardians, he and the other 00 Cyborgs were freed from their duties and allowed to live quiet, peaceful lives. During this period of retirement, he works for the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS). This peaceful existence is disrupted when he is contacted by the journalist Lucy Davenport, who seeks to expose the existence of a mysterious and powerful new enemy group called the Blessed. This event serves as the catalyst that brings Great Britain and his comrades out of retirement to confront this threat.
Personality-wise, Great Britain is known for being lighthearted, jolly, and amiable, often serving as a source of comic relief among his more serious teammates. Despite this jovial exterior, he is a loyal and dependable fighter who cares deeply for his friends. His past as a celebrated actor has given him a philosophical and dramatic flair, and he frequently quotes theatrical works. He also harbors deep-seated regrets over the mistakes he made in his previous life, including the guilt over abandoning a past love interest, which drives some of his personal motivations for atonement. In Call of Justice, his role is primarily that of espionage and infiltration, using his unique abilities to support the team.
Great Britain’s signature ability is shapeshifting. By pressing a mechanism located in his belly button, he can alter his cellular structure at will. This allows him to transform into virtually any person, animal, or object. This power makes him an expert in stealth and disguise, as he can perfectly mimic a target’s appearance. He can also use this ability for combat purposes, such as altering his physiology to become elastic, stretching his limbs, or growing his body to gigantic proportions. Regarding key relationships, his dynamic with other 00 Cyborgs, particularly his tendency to bicker with his teammate Chang Changku (Cyborg 006), is a recurring trait. His interactions with Lucy Davenport, the journalist who reawakens his sense of duty, are central to the plot of Call of Justice, as her investigation forces the team to reunite and face the Blessed. The narrative focuses on his development from a retired agent to an active hero once again, compelled by a new global crisis to use his powers to protect humanity.
