Description
Palus Abel is a character in the anime Brave King GaoGaiGar Final, where she serves as a major antagonist and the leader of the 11 Planetary Masters of Sol, the group of programs that oppose the main characters. She appears as a girl with purple hair and purple eyes, and she acts as the command center of the Planetary Masters, directing their operations from the fortress Pia Decem Pit and later from Pia Decem Peak.
Palus Abel is a program created in the image of Abel, the deceased leader of the Red Planet in the Trinary Solar System. She is the counterpart of Ikumi Kaidou, the boy known as Arma, who was himself created from Abel's genetic legacy, and this is why the two share a strong resemblance. The original Abel had already died when the Trinary Solar System was destroyed through the event known as Machine Sublimation. Palus Abel was brought into existence from the data Abel had left behind inside Pisa Sol, another of the Planetary Masters who carries the power needed to restore the Trinary Solar System. Because that restoration process required an entity to issue commands, Pisa Sol generated Palus Abel as a kind of safety program to fulfill the mission. A defining detail of her existence is that she never knew she was not the original Abel. She believed until the very end that she was the true leader of the Red Planet, unaware that she was in fact a copy, or replicin, made in Abel's image.
In personality, Palus Abel is extremely calculating and cold. She is highly intelligent and pursues her objectives without hesitation, and she treats the conflict against her enemies as a kind of game. Her speech is polite on the surface, but her words carry a clear tone of contempt and mockery toward those she opposes. She is not above using hostages to gain an advantage and delights in taunting her opponents. Her motivation is absolute loyalty to a single goal: the revival of the Trinary Solar System. To achieve this, she is willing to sacrifice anything, including the lives of countless beings and the existence of other galaxies and star systems. The series notes the irony that her actions, carried out in the name of saving her own civilization, end up producing mass casualties on a scale similar to the Zonders, the very threat the characters of the Red Planet once despised.
In the story, Palus Abel orchestrates much of the Planetary Masters' campaign. She oversees the collection of the Q-Parts, the use of the Pas-Q Machine to create replicins, and the coordinated assaults against the Gutsy Galaxy Guard. She uses her deep knowledge of Abel's legacy to torment those connected to it, including Soldat J, Tomoro 0117, and the battleship J-Ark, all of whom she knows in detail because of the memories she inherited. One of her most significant actions is the kidnapping of Ikumi Kaidou, whom she places at the core of Pia Decem Peak in order to psychologically pressure Soldat J and the other heroes. Even after her allies are defeated in battle, she uses Pisa Sol's restoration ability to revive the fallen Planetary Masters and create thousands of replicas of them, prolonging the conflict. Her end comes when Pisa Sol is destroyed, because her program depends on it for its continued existence. Without its support, she can no longer maintain herself, and she fades away together with the replicas she created.
In terms of abilities, Palus Abel is one of the most powerful of the Planetary Masters. She possesses psychokinetic power comparable to or greater than that of Arma, and she is able to overpower Ikumi Kaidou himself in contests of telekinesis. She can also transform parts of her body into numerous beam cannons, referred to as Palus beam cannons, which she typically keeps hidden beneath her cloak. These weapons allow her to attack physically as well as psychically, and they are capable of nullifying psychokinetic defense fields, making her a dangerous opponent even against strong psychics. Her final fate carries a particular weight because of her false identity: her confidence and cruelty were built on a self that was never truly hers, and she disappears without ever learning the truth of what she was.
