OVA
Description
Known as Admiral Red in most narratives and specifically Commander Red Silver in the 1997 OVA, this character commands the USR (Undersea Silence Revolution or Underwater Silence Revolution), a militant group opposing human exploitation of the oceans. He directs attacks using the advanced submarine UX against commercial and military vessels, aiming to halt maritime activities deemed destructive.
He has a family—a wife, three pre-teen daughters, and an infant son named Makoto. Scenes depicting these interactions suggest his actions may be driven by a desire to create a better world for them, though this motivation remains implicit.
In the 1997 OVA, he targets the mythical underwater kingdom of Mu to seize its magma energy sources. Guided by a whale, the submarine 707 reaches Mu, leading to a confrontation where his attempt to plunder the resources is thwarted.
During the 2003 OVA "Submarine 707R", he commands the UX to disrupt the inaugural gathering of the global Peace-Keeping Navy (PKN), formed to counter the USR. Exploiting the PKN's poor formation and lack of unified command, he launches devastating torpedo attacks, specifically targeting the PKN flagship, the supercarrier Apollo-Norm. This attack is foiled by the sacrificial intervention of the original submarine 707.
His strategic prowess is evident through his deployment of cutting-edge technology, including homing torpedoes, submarine-launched surface rockets, and electronic warfare systems capable of disabling enemy sonar. However, he underestimates opponents relying on experience and unconventional tactics over technology. This flaw leads to his defeat when the rebuilt 707, commanded by Captain Hayami, outmaneuvers the UX. The 707 rams the UX, disabling its primary systems and forcing a retreat.
He remains a skilled but hubristic commander whose ideological fervor drives his campaigns against human maritime activities.
