Description
Gaira is a significant supporting character known primarily for his role as the third-in-command of the Cross Guard, a military organization formed to combat the Chess Pieces during the wars in MÄR-Heaven. He is a close and trusted ally of both Danna and Alan, the leaders of the Cross Guard, and shares a long-standing friendship with another character named Jake.
Gaira is depicted as a man with a very muscular and powerful physique, reflecting his dedication to physical combat and training. His personality is grounded and wise, often serving as an anchor for younger or more impulsive characters. He is encouraging and supportive, yet also possesses a practical and direct manner, as seen when he scolds Jake for trying to avoid his true feelings, showing that he values honesty and personal conviction. Despite his formidable strength, he is not arrogant and is willing to take on supportive roles, such as training others, when the situation demands it.
His motivations are largely selfless and focused on the greater good. Having helped form the Cross Guard to push back against the chaos unleashed by the Chess Pieces, he is deeply invested in protecting MÄR-Heaven. He is motivated by a desire to see others grow stronger and find their own paths, whether it is Jake pursuing a dream of revitalizing the land or Alviss overcoming a terrible curse to decide his own fate.
In the story, Gaira serves as a vital member of the Cross Guard and a key mentor figure. Early in the first great war, he was instrumental in recruiting Jake, traveling to Pazurika Island to enlist his friend's unique botanical abilities and strength in the fight against the Chess Pieces. After the young boy Alviss is cursed by Phantom, Gaira takes on the critical role of his trainer, helping him harness his anger and resolve into combat skill. During the second great war, after being eliminated from the main tournament due to a difficult preliminary match against a powerful opponent named Chimera, Gaira voluntarily shifts to a supportive position. He uses his abilities to train the newer, less experienced members of the team within his special training dimension, demonstrating his commitment to the cause even when he cannot fight on the front lines.
Gaira's key relationships are central to his character. His friendship with Jake is long and deep, rooted in a shared past where Gaira helped Jake realize his true dream of bringing life to barren land. His bond with Alviss is that of a stern but caring mentor and father figure. He dedicates years to training the boy after the first war, rewards Alviss with the powerful Guardian ÄRM "13 Totem Pole," and later bestows upon him his own precious Dimension ÄRM, Gatekeeper Clown, sensing the return of grave danger. His relationships with Alan and Danna are those of unwavering comradeship, having fought alongside them through the horrors of the first war and reorganized the Cross Guard under their leadership.
Gaira shows significant development from a frontline warrior to a master trainer and strategic supporter. In the first war, he is a key combatant, fighting directly against the Chess Pieces. After witnessing the death of Jake and the apparent death of Danna, he dedicates the six-year interlude to training Alviss, channeling his strength into shaping the next generation. In the second war, when he is unable to participate in the War Games due to his early defeat by Chimera, he readily accepts a supporting role, pushing his own limits to activate multiple Gates of Training simultaneously to prepare the younger fighters for the final battle, an act that leaves him completely exhausted.
Gaira's most notable abilities revolve around physical combat and a unique type of magical item known as ÄRMs. He is a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant and swordsman, strong enough to spar with and train the prodigious Alviss for years. His signature ability comes from his Dimension ÄRM, Training Gate. This ÄRM allows him to create a pocket dimension specifically designed for intense training, where individuals can battle golems or other constructs to rapidly increase their combat skills. His mastery over this ÄRM is so advanced that he is able to activate six separate Gates of Training at the same time, a feat that puts immense strain on his body. He also possesses the Guardian ÄRM "13 Totem Pole," which he gifts to Alviss, and the Dimension ÄRM "Gatekeeper Clown," a powerful item he later entrusts to his former student. He was also shown to have received a Dimension ÄRM from Queen Diana during the first war, though he chose not to use it himself at that time.
