Description
Prince Edward Mito holds the title of Crown Prince for the technologically advanced planet Edon, located within the Yplon (or Ipron) star system. This star system governs approximately 50 planets. His royal lineage carries significant responsibilities, including a mandated tradition requiring princes to undertake a galaxy-wide observation tour at age sixteen. This tour utilizes the Super Robot Daioja to uphold peace and maintain diplomatic relations across the federation.
Around age fourteen, Edward is depicted as rebellious and discontented with his royal status. He deeply resents the constant supervision by his strict retainer Valjean and the isolation imposed by his position. Yearning for ordinary experiences, he defies tradition by stealing the Daioja robot prematurely. Disguising himself as a peasant boy under the alias "Bocchan," he escapes to explore the galaxy incognito. His perspective undergoes a dramatic shift after witnessing oppression firsthand, such as villagers attacked by marauders. This compels him to intervene using Daioja, catalyzing a realization of his royal duty's purpose and transforming his reluctance into a dedication to justice.
Accompanied by his retainers Duke Skade (alias "Suke") and Baron Karcus (alias "Kaku"), he travels from planet to planet. On these journeys, he confronts corrupt leaders, exploitative systems, and crises. Examples include halting forced labor on Stylou, opposing poaching syndicates on Dial, and dismantling child labor camps on Indelial. A female ninja operative, Shinobu, covertly monitors his actions for the king, assessing his fitness for future rule while simultaneously aiding his missions. These planetary encounters—each resolving a unique societal injustice—serve as his education in governance, ethics, and empathy, gradually refining his idealism into pragmatic leadership.
His development culminates after a year of travels. Although he originally undertook the journey out of obligation, he voluntarily continues the mission upon its completion, demonstrating an internalized commitment to stewardship. His maturation becomes evident through increased humility, proactive conflict resolution, and speeches condemning oppression, aligning with the series' coming-of-age arc. A recurring phrase during episode previews—"see it with your own eyes"—reflects his evolved worldview, emphasizing direct engagement over detached rulership.
No concrete information exists regarding appearances or development in other official media beyond the 50-episode series.
