Description
Takashi Ryūzōji leads Grand Paladin, Earth's defenders against extraterrestrial threats, serving as the primary antagonist. He possesses reptilian yellow eyes, purple spiky hair, and distinctive purple zigzag-shaped eyebrows. He typically wears a brown suit, white undershirt, and red tie, with an imposing stature that towers over others.
Discovered as an infant by Takezō Ryūzōji after apparently arriving from space, Takezō raised him as his son. This unusual origin was sometimes treated as a joke, but Takashi was happily adopted into the Ryūzōji family.
His personality centers on imposing a singular concept of justice to end global strife. He intends to use Grand Paladin's power to take over the world after neutralizing the alien organization Nebula, believing this forceful unity will ensure peace and prosperity. He remains comically serious in response to others' eccentricities and delivers blunt rebuttals to ideological challenges.
As Grand Paladin's strongest member, his psychic armor transforms into a dragon-themed mecha. During combat, he undergoes a partial transformation into a draconic form while retaining full mental control, contrasting with allies who lose rationality in similar states. This unique ability foreshadows his deeper connection to the interstellar Dragon entity.
His storyline reveals he is a reincarnation or fragment of the Dragon responsible for destroying the planet Sirius. After Grand Paladin fractures due to his world-domination ambitions, he battles both Nebula's Sealing Faction and the protagonist Sōya Kuroi. Defeated by Sōya in their final duel, his death catalyzes the Dragon's full awakening. The Dragon later recalls memories of living as Takashi.
Key relationships include his command over Grand Paladin members like Kogane Shiraishi, later revealed as a traitorous Nebula operative. His dynamic with his father Takezō involves mutual respect despite ideological differences; Takezō understands Sōya's role in Takashi's death without harboring resentment.
His legacy persists posthumously through the Dragon's resurgence. A five-year time skip follows his demise, during which former allies prepare for the Dragon's threat while reconciling their conflicted feelings about Takashi's actions and ideals.
