Description
Anubituf is a supporting character in the anime Simoun, serving as the captain of the Argentum-class warship Arcus Prima. Anubituf was once a Sibylla, a priestess who piloted a Simoun, before choosing to become male at the Spring. Along with Guragief, who holds the rank of Dux and is his constant companion, Anubituf is one of the most prominent male characters in the series, known for a distinctive appearance that often includes an elbow-length light blue cape.
In his role as captain, Anubituf is the commanding officer of the elite Simoun squadron, Chor Tempest. His leadership style is characterized by a calm, strategic, and sometimes quietly defiant demeanor. He demonstrates a deep sense of responsibility for the young Sibyllae under his command, expressing regret for having involved them in the war and a strong desire to bring the conflict to an end. Anubituf is pragmatic and decisive, as shown when he ignores orders from a superior, the Defense Minister, to launch an immediate attack, choosing instead to personally lead a more calculated counter-offensive from the sky.
The most significant relationship in Anubituf's life is with Guragief. The two were a pair of Sibyllae in their youth, and their bond remains the emotional core of his character. Their relationship is tested when Anubituf keeps the news of Sibylla Mamiina's death and the loss of her body a secret from Guragief, believing it necessary for operational security. This leads to a rift, with Guragief expressing hurt that Anubituf would keep something from him. Despite this conflict, their underlying connection remains powerful. Anubituf acknowledges Guragief is too earnest, and another character, Wauf, observes that both have strong feelings they are unwilling to concede, lamenting that they both chose to become men. In a later critical moment, they conspire together to help two former Sibyllae escape imprisonment and fly off to another world, demonstrating their enduring partnership and willingness to defy authority for a greater purpose.
Throughout the story, Anubituf's motivations are driven by a sense of duty to protect his charges and end the war, even if it means making difficult, unpopular decisions. He is not merely an administrator but a former frontline pilot, and when the situation becomes desperate, he personally takes to the skies in a Simoun to lead his squadron into battle, issuing direct orders from his own simile. This act showcases his leadership by example and his unwavering commitment to his crew.
Notable abilities include his prior training and experience as a Sibylla, which allows him to skillfully pilot a Simoun in combat despite his current rank and age. He is also a capable tactical commander, able to assess a dire situation quickly and formulate a battle plan that he then leads personally. His development throughout the series reveals a man who, while burdened by the responsibilities of command and the harsh realities of war, remains committed to his principles, his crew, and his complex, lifelong bond with Guragief.
