OVA
Description
Jeena Malso is a central figure in the AD Police, serving as a veteran inspector and the seasoned partner to the rookie officer, Leon McNichol. Her background reflects extensive experience within this specialized unit, which is tasked with handling crimes involving rogue androids known as Boomers in a dystopian future. A defining physical characteristic is her right arm, which is a cybernetic prosthetic. This advanced piece of technology is linked directly to her nervous system, a fact that is a source of deep personal fear as she worries it could one day take over her body. This anxiety contributes to a broader terror of becoming a complete cyborg, losing the humanity she fights to protect.
In terms of personality, Jeena is depicted as gruff, no-nonsense, and highly insightful. She approaches her dangerous work with a tactical expertise and a calm, steady demeanor that provides essential support and guidance to the more impulsive Leon. Her tough, tomboyish attitude is well-suited to the violent and high-stakes environment of the AD Police, where she is noted for her proficiency with heavy firearms and being a crack shot. Despite her hardened exterior, the nature of her work and her own circumstances reveal a more complex emotional core, as she contemplates the loss of her own humanity while investigating cases that blur the line between person and machine.
Her motivations are deeply tied to the central themes of the series, particularly the fear of losing one's identity. She harbors a significant concern for her ex-boyfriend, Billy Fanword, who, after a near-fatal incident, is transformed into a full-conversion cyborg, becoming something akin to a Boomer himself. This personal connection drives much of her emotional arc, as she witnesses him struggle to maintain his sanity with only a few organic parts remaining. Her role in the story is primarily as Leon's partner, grounding the rookie and using her veteran insights to navigate the disturbing cases that challenge what it means to be human. She is a main character in the three-part OVA, actively investigating each case, from the death of a fellow officer to a series of grotesque murders. Her key relationship with Leon is one of professional partnership, where she often acts as the voice of reason and experience. However, her most emotionally charged relationship is with Billy, whose cyborg transformation forces Jeena to confront her own fears about technology and the self. This situation culminates in a dramatic and personal confrontation between Jeena and the rampaging Billy, with no clear resolution, highlighting the tragic nature of their connection.
While she does not undergo a dramatic transformation herself, her development is shown through her grappling with these core fears. The traumas she witnesses and her personal connection to Billy’s fate deepen the internal conflict regarding her own prosthetic and her identity as a human being. Her notable abilities extend beyond her combat skills. She is a highly capable AD Police officer, fearless in the face of dangerous Boomer threats, and is recognized as a formidable force, sometimes described as a one-woman army. Her true strength lies in her resilience and her ability to function effectively in a grim world while still carrying the emotional weight of her greatest anxieties.
