Description
Mikhail is a character from the anime and manga series Steel Angel Kurumi. In the story, Mikhail is a steel angel who was specifically created for the purpose of defeating the steel angel Kurumi. What makes Mikhail notably powerful is the unique internal configuration: Mikhail is equipped with two angel hearts, a mark II and a first-generation mark I, installed simultaneously. This dual-heart system grants Mikhail a level of power that rivals that of any other single steel angel.
Mikhail's background is tied to the rivalry between scientists. Mikhail was created by Dr. Walski, a rival of Dr. Ayanokoji, the creator of the first steel angels. In the manga continuity, Mikhail is described as a synthetic human or an artificial life created by Dr. Walski, serving as the master and operator of the steel angel Karinka. Mikhail's genetic basis is derived from Kamihito Kagura, a highly skilled onmyoji and the older brother of the protagonist Nakahito Kagura. As a result of this origin, Mikhail possesses considerable innate spiritual power.
In terms of personality, Mikhail is driven by an obsessive fixation on Nakahito Kagura. This stems from implanted memories of being ostracized and resented by others because of the power Mikhail possessed. These manufactured memories led Mikhail to view Nakahito with a possessive, almost affectionate attachment while simultaneously harboring a deep contempt for steel angels in general. This disdain extends to Karinka, who serves as Mikhail's partner, and Mikhail treats her coldly. Despite this, Mikhail remains dedicated to the mission of opposing Kurumi.
Mikhail's role in the story is that of an antagonist and a foil. As the creator of Karinka, Mikhail leads the third steel angel in a confrontation against Nakahito and his allies during the operation to rescue Dr. Ayanokoji. Initially appearing as a direct threat, Mikhail eventually disappears after being defeated. Later, in the manga, Mikhail reappears with bandages covering the mouth, observing Nakahito and the others from the shadows, suggesting a lingering connection to the central conflict.
In terms of appearance, Mikhail is depicted as a male teenager with short white hair and green eyes, often seen wearing a ribbon or bow. The character is sometimes described as wearing attire that includes cheek curls and an ahoge.
Key relationships include the bond with Karinka, the steel angel that Mikhail commands, though this relationship is strained due to Mikhail's dismissive attitude. The fixation on Nakahito Kagura is the driving force behind much of Mikhail's actions, and the rivalry with Kurumi defines Mikhail's purpose as a steel angel created specifically to counter her. Mikhail also has a connection to Kamihito Kagura, whose genetic material was used in Mikhail's creation. During the initial arc, Mikhail serves as an agent of Dr. Walski, acting as his representative in the conflict.
Mikhail's development in the story is marked by a shift from a direct antagonist to a more ambiguous presence. After the defeat and disappearance, Mikhail later returns in a subdued role, no longer actively opposing the protagonists but still tethered to the plot line involving Nakahito.
The notable abilities of Mikhail center on the dual angel heart system, which provides unmatched power output. Additionally, as a synthetic human with the genetic template of a top-class onmyoji, Mikhail possesses significant spiritual and mystical capabilities, allowing Mikhail to act as a master for a steel angel and to compete on the level of the strongest characters in the series.
