Description
Originally named Baba Ramune, Lamuness I was a 10-year-old Japanese boy summoned from the real world into Hara-Hara World after defeating the video game "King Squasher." Identified as the blood relative and reincarnation of an ancient legendary hero, he was charged with saving Hara-Hara World from the evil Don Harumage. Piloting the Humongous Mecha King Squasher, he fought alongside allies Princess Milk, Cocoa, and the advisor robot Tama-Q, confronting adversaries like the comedic villain trio Da Cider, Lesqua, and Heavy Metal Ko, who later performed Heel–Face Turns.
Extremely hot-blooded, he frequently shouted variations of his catchphrase, "Ore wa mouretsu ni nekketsu shiteru!" ("Right now, my blood is totally blazing!"). Initially an Idiot Hero struggling with King Squasher's basic controls, he matured through battles across Adventure Towns, often leveraging his susceptibility to The Dulcinea Effect to aid female characters in distress. His relationship with Princess Milk evolved from comedic tension into romance, marked by her Tsundere behavior and eventual mutual affection.
After defeating Don Harumage, Lamuness I married Milk and fathered a son, Baba Lamunade. By the events of VS Knight Ramune & 40 Fire, they had aged into adulthood, becoming lazy and overly affectionate but remained dedicated to protecting their son. Operating incognito, they became the masked heroes "Akakaze" (Red Wind) and "Momokaze" (Pink Wind), using costumes parodying Gatchaman – inspired by their wedding attire – to conceal their identities while aiding Lamunade against new threats.
Tragically, during the confrontation with the resurrected ancient evil Abraham (Abram), Lamuness I's body was possessed and transformed into "Black Lamuness," becoming Abraham's primary vessel. This forced Lamunade to battle his corrupted father. Ultimately, Lamuness I, Milk, and the Arara princesses (Cocoa and Lesqua) used a Combined Energy Attack to imprison Abraham, sacrificing themselves by turning into stone statues. This petrification proved temporary, and they were restored after Abraham's defeat.
His legacy persisted through the "Warrior Ramunes" lineage, with future descendants like Ramunes III and IV referenced in the OVA VS Knight Ramune & 40 FRESH. The rule that heroes could only serve until age 18 ("Bittersweet 17") highlighted the cyclical nature of this legacy, though Lamuness I defied this by continuing to protect his son beyond that age as a Mysterious Protector.
