OVA
Description
Megumi Morisato is a recurring character known for being the younger sister of the protagonist, Keiichi Morisato. Like her brother, she is a student at the Nekomi Institute of Technology (NIT), where she is pursuing an education in engineering. She is also a member of the university's softball club, a detail that remains consistent across the manga, the television series, and the movie, although the original video animation hints that she might join the motor club instead.
In terms of personality, Megumi generally presents herself with a mature attitude but is not above descending into a more childish demeanor marked by silly remarks and a competitive streak. She has a playful and teasing nature, often directing this towards her brother, Keiichi, as a form of protectiveness. A defining trait is her resilience, as she is rarely fazed by challenges, though she shows vulnerability when coping with rejection, struggling particularly with romantic disappointments. On such occasions, she has been known to drink heavily before tearfully confiding in Keiichi. Her primary motivation seems to be a desire for advancement in life, which manifests as a strong work ethic and a willingness to take on various club and school responsibilities.
Megumi's primary role in the story is as a member of Keiichi's human-centric circle of family and friends. She is frequently a visitor to the temple where Keiichi and the goddesses reside, serving as a link to his life before the supernatural events of the series. Her key relationships center on her family. She has a strong, teasing, yet protective bond with her brother Keiichi, and she holds a deep, if unspoken, respect for his mechanical skills. She also shares a positive connection with Belldandy, who sees similarities between Megumi and the young goddess Skuld and wishes Skuld could learn from Megumi's example. A notable aspect of her personal life is her consistent bad luck in romance; while she is popular with boys, her reputation as the "Queen of the Ridge" often intimidates her boyfriends, who feel they cannot compete with her status and abilities, leading to repeated breakups.
Megumi's character development is most visible in her complex feelings about her own reputation. She becomes the "queen" of local motorcycle racers after consistently winning races on a mountain pass, a title she dislikes because she believes the true "king" and "queen" are Keiichi and Belldandy. This title, which in the movie is also referred to as "The Queen of Drag Racing," is a source of social difficulty for her, creating an ironic contrast with Keiichi's initial bad luck with women. Throughout the series, Megumi remains unaware that Belldandy and her sisters are actual goddesses.
Megumi possesses several notable abilities that set her apart. She is a highly skilled mechanic, proficient enough to compete against the goddess Skuld in a robot-building contest, which resulted in a draw. Above all, she is an exceptionally talented motorcycle driver, earning her the "queen" title she has come to resent. Despite her own prowess, she is modest about her abilities, often claiming that both Keiichi and Belldandy are better riders than she is.
