Description
Blitz Talker is a fictional character originating from the in-story cyberpunk manga and anime series "Code Babylon," who is brought into the real world as a key player in the events of the story. He is a middle-aged man with a design that evokes a cool and seasoned appearance, often seen wearing tortoiseshell glasses and smoking. His calm and analytical demeanor is his most defining trait, a product of his years of experience as a former detective. This logical and level-headed approach to situations can make him seem cold or distant to others, earning him a one-sided grudge from the more impulsive Yūya Mirokuji, who finds his attitude annoying. Despite his stoic exterior, Blitz operates with a personal moral code, seeking to avoid unnecessary deaths and offering pragmatic advice to other characters, such as telling the idealistic Alicetaria February to enjoy the real world a little more.
In his own world, Blitz transitioned from a career as a police officer to working as a bounty hunter for the Flashlight Detective Agency, where he serves as the partner and close friend of the protagonist, Ryūsuke Kannagi. He specializes in tracking down demi-humans and artificial monsters. His past is marked by an immense personal tragedy: his daughter, Erina Talker, was turned into a living power source by his own creator, Shunma Suruga. The circumstances of the narrative forced Blitz to end his daughter's life with his own hands, a traumatic event that left deep emotional scars and defines his motivations. This loss is the source of a profound hatred for his creator and is the reason he does not share the same nostalgic longing for his original world that many other characters possess.
Blitz's primary motivation throughout the story is driven by this regret and desire for revenge against Shunma Suruga, but it is also tempered by a protective instinct. He recognizes the fragile and broken heart of the primary antagonist, Altair, because it reminds him of his own daughter. This similarity initially compels him to support her, as he cannot bring himself to turn his back on someone who reflects Erina's pain. However, his ultimate goal remains to confront his creator and find a form of redemption for what happened to his family.
In his role within the larger conflict, Blitz acts as a pragmatic and skilled combatant. He is a master of his signature revolver, which he uses to fire both standard ammunition and specialized gravity bullets. These rounds are powerful enough to shatter magical defenses, such as those used by Meteora Österreich. He also possesses a wristwatch equipped with a gravity control device, which he can use to manipulate anti-gravity, allowing him to fly and maneuver through the air with ease.
His key relationships are heavily influenced by his past. His bond with his creator, Shunma Suruga, is one of pure animosity, as he blames her for Erina's fate. This hatred drives him to abandon the main battlefield during a critical confrontation in order to hunt Suruga down personally. When he confronts her, he is shocked to discover that his daughter, Erina, is alive again, brought back by Suruga to manipulate his allegiance. This revelation fuels his anger but also gives him a new purpose. Setting aside his revenge for the sake of protecting his resurrected daughter, he makes the difficult decision to join forces with his former rivals, including Yūya Mirokuji, to oppose Altair in the final battle.
Throughout the story, Blitz undergoes significant development from a man consumed by a cold quest for vengeance to one who can prioritize the future of his loved one over his own hatred. He remains distrustful of his creator even after the conflict ends, but he ultimately chooses to return to his own world, reunited with his daughter, Erina. In a side story, he is also shown taking extreme measures, such as threatening an innocent girl to keep her out of harm's way, further demonstrating his pragmatic and protective nature. His story concludes with a sense of hard-won peace, returning home to the only family that matters to him.
