OVA
Description
Doug McCoy, known as Dog McCoy, leads a rebel faction of lunar colonists. A second-generation colonist approximately 36 years old, his motivation ignited when authorities framed his friend Tatsuya Nonomura for the terrorist destruction of Bartholomew subway station – an incident orchestrated by the Earth Federal Government to suppress dissent. Witnessing this injustice solidified McCoy's resolve to fight for colonists' rights against oppressive Earth governance.
Operating from a hidden base, McCoy masterminds guerrilla activities against Monopolis authorities. He recruits Shun Nonomura, Tatsuya's younger brother, after Shun inadvertently saves him during a police pursuit by killing a tracking dog using modified mining equipment. Recognizing the tactical potential, McCoy pioneers the adaptation of mining machinery into weapons to equip the rebels. His leadership includes planning operations such as the kidnapping of Melinda Hearst, fiancée of police commander Alex Leiger, to leverage negotiations.
McCoy articulates rebel demands for equal treatment, highlighting colonists' harsh conditions: restricted interplanetary travel, mandatory tracking via forehead rings, and chemical "recycling" of deceased colonists. His interactions with Melinda emphasize these grievances, framing the rebellion as a struggle against systemic oppression. During escalating conflicts, McCoy commands rebel forces in battles against police "Debugger" units and cyborg attack dogs, demonstrating strategic acumen in lunar terrain and mining tunnels.
His background involves personal loss and disillusionment with Earth authorities, though specific family or pre-rebellion details remain unexplored. His relationship with Shun blends mentorship with shared loyalty to Tatsuya's legacy, though promised revelations about Tatsuya's fate go unfulfilled. McCoy's own fate remains unresolved following the final battle.
Across all official media, including the four original OVA episodes and the compiled *Dallos Special* film, McCoy's arc focuses solely on his rebel leadership. No spin-offs, sequels, or expanded media develop his backstory or future.
