Irubora Saro, alias Icelander, is a pivotal warrior from Ladorio, renowned for his combat prowess. Reserved and ambitious, he embodies a complex blend of egotism and nobility, motivated by unwavering loyalty to Princess Romina Ladorio and a hunger for dominance. His unreciprocated love for Romina ignites a bitter rivalry with Joe Maya, whom he views as a romantic and political rival, sparking relentless clashes.

Initially Romina’s trusted general, his resolve wavers when Zaboom general Grathan offers him power in exchange for her life. Though briefly tempted, overwhelming guilt compels him to desert the Ellshanc, fracturing his former allegiances. His ambition propels him to command the Mantis robot, destroyed in battle, before merging with the Zerokage to augment his strength, rivaling Joe’s Cybertron.

His arc oscillates between quests for absolute authority and protective devotion to Romina, a duality persisting until the narrative’s climax. His visual evolution—from regal blue garb to streamlined ninja armor—mirrors his fluctuating loyalties. A prophecy foretelling the union of Cybertron and Zerokage forces him into uneasy alliance with Joe to fuel the Xenos 5 spacecraft, despite their animosity.

The final arc culminates in a gravely injured Saro confessing his love to Romina, exposing his vulnerability and unresolved inner turmoil. This moment marks his shift from power-driven warrior to a figure grappling with emotional fragility, his fate eternally suspended between ambition and allegiance.
