Description
Reo Mikado, a third-generation Fafner pilot, commands the Mark Elf Kai—later reborn as Susanoo. Introduced as a reserved figure with sharp black hair and steely grey eyes, his appearance matures over time, his hair lengthening into strands that mirror his evolving resolve. He forms a tight-knit trio with fellow pilots Sui Kaburagi and Mimika Mikagami, their bond weaving camaraderie, tactical synergy, and lighthearted jabs during missions.

Early combat experiences reveal flashes of vulnerability—hesitation when changing uniforms publicly, tentative steps in forging trust. His connection with Mimika deepens through quiet gestures: tucking her photo into a battlefield keepsake, tentative talks of shared post-retirement life. A familial sword, gifted by father Masakazu Mikado and etched with a lion emblem, anchors his resolve, its symbolism echoing his Belgian mother’s heritage and the lion crest of her homeland.

Susanoo thrives in close-quarters combat, wielding the Levin Sword and Luger Lance. Awakening his Super Dimensional Power (SDP) unlocks teleportation via zero-dimension relocation, but each leap carves physical tolls—hollow voids piercing his body. The Einherjar Model upgrade tempers assimilation risks yet strains his SDP further, sharpening the cost of every tactical vanish.

Reo’s combat prowess shines during critical operations like the Fifth Operation Azure, a daring rescue of abducted allies. Here, he grapples with partial Fafner control loss during a comrade’s assimilation and clashes with formidable Festum adversaries. Strategic taunts and calculated strikes define his duel against Mark Nicht, though allies warn of reckless overexertion.

Three years post-conflict, Reo navigates dual priorities: frontline duty and a yearning for normalcy. Conversations with family circle retirement plans and cohabitation with Mimika, even as his father voices unease over enemies’ blurred morality. Reo meets uncertainty head-on, acknowledging their war’s elusive end while clinging to fragile hopes beyond the battlefield.
