OVA
Description
Fūko Kurasaki, known in the accelerated world as Sky Raker, is a central character. In reality, she is a sixteen-year-old high school student with long hair and a tall, graceful figure. She was born with a congenital condition affecting her chromosomes, which necessitated the use of prosthetic legs from a young age. This physical limitation deeply influenced her inner world and her actions within Brain Burst.
Within the accelerated world, Fūko is a legendary and high-level Burst Linker, having reached level eight. She was a founding member of the original Nega Nebulus legion, serving as its deputy副团长 and holding the title of one of the Four Elements, where she commanded the element of wind. Her duel avatar, Sky Raker, is iconic for its white dress and sun hat, and she is almost always seen in an ornate wheelchair, a consequence of a crucial decision in her past. Before the arrival of Silver Crow, she was known by several epithets, including "the person closest to the sky" and the "ICBM," for her unmatched ability to soar to great heights using her enhanced armament, the Gale Thruster.
Fūko's personality is a study in contrasts, blending elegance with a hidden, often sadistic, intensity. She presents herself with impeccable politeness and a willingness to help others, but this exterior masks a strict and even cruel teaching method, famously pushing Silver Crow off the virtual Tokyo Tower to train him. She possesses a dry sense of humor and a mischievous streak, taking pleasure in teasing her friends and humiliating her rivals with a smile on her face. Her character is driven by a profound and obsessive desire to fly. This dream was so all-consuming that, unable to achieve true flight on her own, she asked her closest friend, Black Lotus, to cut off her avatar's legs in a desperate attempt to lighten her form and strengthen her will. This act led to her self-imposed retirement and nickname "Icarus," a reference to the mythical figure who flew too close to the sun.
Fūko's role in the story becomes pivotal when a wingless Silver Crow is brought to her by her "child," Ash Roller. She becomes his mentor, teaching him the fundamentals of the Incarnate System, a technique that uses willpower to overcome the system's limits. Seeing a reflection of her own dreams in him, she eventually entrusts him with her most prized possession, the Gale Thruster, to aid him in his quest to regain his wings.
Key relationships define her character arc. Her bond with Kuroyukihime, known in the accelerated world as Black Lotus, is central. They were once inseparable friends, but Fūko's obsession and the subsequent removal of her avatar's legs drove a wedge between them, leading to years of estrangement. It is through Haruyuki Arita, Silver Crow's real-world identity, that they are finally reunited. Fūko serves as a mentor and paternal figure to Haruyuki, whom she affectionately but sternly trains, and she develops a deep affection for him that later grows into romantic feelings, creating a complex dynamic with her friend Kuroyukihime. She is also the parent of Rin Kusakabe's avatar, Ash Roller, who holds her in high regard.
Fūko undergoes significant development throughout the narrative. After years of being unable to walk in the real world and having lost her legs in the accelerated world, Haruyuki's actions and words help her confront the psychological barriers she had built around her condition. This leads to a profound change, described as him "pulling out the thorn in her heart," which results in her real legs regaining their function and her duel avatar's legs being restored. This event marks her emotional reawakening and re-engagement with life, prompting her to rejoin Nega Nebulus and move forward from her past regrets.
Her notable abilities are formidable. Before her avatar lost its legs, Sky Raker was famed for her incredible jumping power, reaching heights of up to 350 meters. Her signature equipment, the Gale Thruster, is a powerful jetpack that can be mounted on her back, originally providing a massive, single-direction boost to emulate flight. She is a master of the Incarnate System, which she uses to manipulate her wheelchair as if it were propelled by wind, a technique she calls "Wind Veil". Her deep understanding of willpower and the Incarnate System makes her one of the most knowledgeable and dangerous Burst Linkers, a true legend who, despite never achieving her dream of flight herself, played an indispensable role in teaching the first true flying avatar how to soar.
