OVA
Description
Cayenne Suzushiro is the elder brother of Mikono Suzushiro and a central figure among the Element users at the Neo-DEAVA academy. He is a young man of nineteen years with a tall, slightly built frame standing at 181 centimeters. He has short navy hair, brown eyes, and tanned skin. His typical attire consists of a khaki combat vest and cargo pants paired with a navy coat that he wears draped over his shoulders like a cape, completed with black fingerless gloves and combat boots. Originally a member of the naval forces, he possesses a wild and powerful physique that speaks to his physical prowess.
Cayenne presents a contrast between a rough exterior and a deeply caring, if sometimes clumsy, nature. He has a strong sense of responsibility and is known to be thoughtful of the people around him, though he can be awkward in expressing it. He is highly popular among the female students at the academy, who have nicknamed him the eternal number two, a reference to his acknowledged status as the second most powerful male Element student. While he strives to be reliable, his overprotectiveness, particularly concerning his sister, can be a source of friction. He is often irritated by Amata Sora for bringing Mikono closer to the dangers of the Aquarion, though his opinion of Amata evolves over time.
Cayenne’s Element ability is known as the Prophecy of Despair. This power grants him random and involuntary visions of tragic events that will befall those close to him. These premonitions manifest as images in his mind, accompanied by a red light that appears between his eyebrows when the ability is active. The most distressing and recurring vision he experiences is that of his sister Mikono perishing due to her connection with the Aquarion, as well as a haunting image of a funeral-like wedding ceremony. This ability, while a source of constant anguish, is a core part of his combat effectiveness, particularly as a sniper. He can use these precognitive flashes to land precise shots with incredible accuracy, even blindfolded or against moving targets.
The driving force behind Cayenne’s actions is the protection of his younger sister. Having been separated from her for a long period before the story begins, he is determined to prevent the dark future his visions foretell. This makes him initially hostile toward Amata, as he blames him for drawing Mikono into the dangerous world of Aquarion piloting. This protectiveness is not just limited to his sister; he is also very caring towards his teammates, showing a deep sense of loyalty to his comrades.
In his role within Neo-DEAVA, Cayenne is one of the most skilled and frequent pilots, often taking command of the Aquarion Gepard. He served as the leader of the Cayenne Team during实战演习, which included his teammates Sazanka Bianca and Moroi. His skills as a sniper and a tactician make him a valuable asset in battle, despite his premonitions sometimes creating a sense of impending doom. His strong intuition also makes him highly perceptive, as he was among the first to suspect that a fellow student, Jin Muso, was a spy from Altair.
Cayenne’s most significant relationship is with his sister, Mikono. His entire worldview and motivation revolve around ensuring her safety, initially seeing her as fragile and in need of constant protection. Over the course of the story, as Mikono demonstrates her own strength, their bond evolves into one of mutual respect and pride. Another pivotal relationship is with Shrade Elan. Despite their frequent bickering and Cayenne's irritation at being called Shrade's friend, the two share a profound and genuine bond of mutual trust and care, considering each other their closest and most important friend. Cayenne shows significant concern for Shrade's well-being, particularly when Shrade is injured or overexerts his own Element abilities. His relationship with Amata Sora begins with resentment but eventually grows into a rivalry that culminates in friendship.
A key moment in Cayenne’s development is undergoing a special grave training regimen under the tutelage of the mysterious instructor, Zen Fudou. This intense experience significantly evolves his Element ability. His Prophecy of Despair is enhanced into a power called Instant Prophecy. Unlike his previous random and uncontrollable visions, this new ability allows him to actively foresee events a few seconds into the future at will. Furthermore, he gains the capacity to share these real-time precognitive images with his allies, allowing for coordinated preemptive strategies in battle. While this makes him an even more formidable combatant, his power is not absolute; for instance, it failed to predict the Aquarion Evol’s Super Dimensional Infinity Punch, which traveled beyond the normal axis of time. Throughout the final conflicts, Cayenne continues to struggle with his premonitions of tragedy, but he learns to fight against the fates he sees, ultimately finding some resolution as he and his sister grow closer and he accepts the paths of those around him.
His notable abilities are primarily tied to his evolved Element power. His marksmanship is legendary among his peers, able to land impossible shots with a sniper rifle even while blindfolded. When piloting the Aquarion Gepard, he combines his sniping expertise with his Instant Prophecy to accurately target enemy movements before they happen, making him a formidable long-range combatant.
