Description
Armbrust is a character from the anime film Kiddy Grade Maelstrom, who also appears in the original Kiddy Grade television series. In the film, he serves as an Inspector for the Global Union, assigned to be escorted by the ES agents Éclair and Lumière on a mission to the planet Medeia.
Physically, Armbrust is a handsome twenty year old man with long black hair, which he wears pulled back into a ponytail, and black eyes. His typical attire consists of a grey suit with red lines, worn with black shoes. In later appearances within the sequel series Kiddy Girl-AND, his design changes to that of a teenage boy with shorter, shoulder-length black hair and a black suit.
Armbrust possesses a calm and collected demeanor. He has a tendency to flirt and act as a ladies' man, which frequently makes him a target of distrust from the ES agent Éclair. Despite his efforts and what appear to be good intentions, Éclair remains suspicious of him, though her partner Lumière often comes to his defense. This air of charm is undercut by a more mysterious and slightly shady quality, as his true motivations are not always clear. In the sequel series, his personality shifts to become more defensive and protective of a character named Hiver, to whom he shows great interest and remains constantly by her side.
Within the story of the original Kiddy Grade series, Armbrust is introduced as an auditor for the Galactic Union who is sent to observe Éclair and Lumière on various missions. It is later revealed that his role as an inspector is a cover, and he is actually an S Class ES Member, the elite ranking of superpowered agents within the organization. His partner is another ES agent named Pfeilspitze, who is also known as Mercredi. He is frequently seen carrying a mysterious black briefcase, which appears to have its own unique powers.
Key relationships define his interactions. His dynamic with Éclair is characterized by her persistent distrust of him, which stands in contrast to the more trusting relationship he has with Lumière. His connection to Mercredi as his ES partner reveals his true place within the organization's shadowy operations. Armbrust has no known special abilities beyond his status as an S Class ES Member, though the exact nature of his powers is not detailed in the source material. His name, along with the mysterious briefcase he carries, are notable elements of his character. The name Armbrust is German for crossbow. In the English dub of the series, his name was mistakenly translated as Armblast, though it is spelled correctly in the subtitled version.
