Description
Brother first emerges via the robotic Black Cat during Cutthroat's execution. This artificial feline—cloaked in black fur with piercing yellow eyes and a red collar—acts as the communication vessel for an anonymous employer commanding the Akudama. Through its adult male mechanical voice, it delivers threats and intricate strategies like breaching Shinkansen security. The Black Cat’s intervention inadvertently drags an ordinary citizen into adopting the "Swindler" persona for survival.
In Episode 4, the Black Cat self-destructs near the Shinkansen vault, exposing Brother—a young boy with black hair, crimson eyes, and a school uniform bearing a coin-like insignia. He and Sister form the "precious cargo" the Akudama were hired to extract. Brother remotely controlled the Black Cat, reconstructing it after its initial destruction. The robotic cat originated as an Artificial Intelligence designed to surveil Brother and Sister, programmed with an empathy its creators later deemed defective. As their self-proclaimed teacher, the AI sympathized with their confinement yet lacked individuality beyond Brother’s directives.
Brother and Sister were engineered at the Kyushu Plant, a facility with limitless access to infinite wealth. A professor’s system modifications enabled Brother to offer the Akudama vast riches. His intellect and innate authority drive the mission toward "001003" beneath Expo Park. He exhibits immortality, regenerating after an impalement in Episode 6.
His relationships dictate pivotal actions: extreme protectiveness toward Sister compels him to sacrifice himself to Executioners for her escape. He trusts Swindler due to her compassion, selecting her as Sister’s guardian during their flight. He respects Courier’s professionalism, routinely praising his efficiency. Conversely, he dismisses Doctor’s hostility, overlooking her betrayal.
In the climax, Brother orchestrates Swindler and Sister’s rocket escape, confident in Swindler’s guardianship. His manipulation of the Akudama mission and Swindler’s publicized execution broadcast ultimately ignite Kansai’s uprising against the authorities.
