Description
The Avatar presides over Ōban and organizes the Great Race of Ōban. This cosmic deity wields infinite powers to maintain galactic balance, wielding cosmic energy projection, telepathy, telekinesis, precognition, reality warping, elemental control, and astral projection. However, these abilities are restricted from serving personal interests due to the Avatar's role as a guardian deity.
A strict 10,000-year tenure governs the position. Avatars originating from species with shorter lifespans experience rapid aging after relinquishing power. The Avatar cannot resurrect the dead, as death represents an irreversible transition to the "Kingdom of the Dead," a fact Satis confirmed to Eva Wei. Reincarnation across mortal bodies creates a divided mind, causing potential confusion. New Avatars may initially emerge unstable until mastering their abilities, exemplified by Jordan Wilde.
Three specific Avatars are documented:
- **Canaletto**: A former Avatar imprisoned for refusing to surrender his powers after his term ended. He orchestrated Maya Wei's death as part of a gambit to regain the Avatar position and rewrite the universe under the guise of benevolence.
- **Satis**: The acting Avatar at the series' onset, he concealed his identity by posing as the Avatar's servant. Having won the Great Race himself, he participated again, confirming Avatars can defend their title through competition. He relinquished his powers after confronting Canaletto's rebellion.
- **Jordan Wilde**: Earth's team gunner who became the Avatar during the climax by intercepting Canaletto's attempt to reclaim the powers. His self-sacrifice aimed to protect Eva Wei from Canaletto's control. After transformation, he bid farewell to Eva and remained on Ōban, overseeing the Earth team's departure while expressing silent sorrow.
The transfer of the Avatar's powers occurs during a ceremonial convergence at the Temple of the Heart, where the Ultimate Prize—the Avatar position—is granted to the winner. This ceremony remains vulnerable to usurpation if the victor hesitates, as demonstrated when Canaletto nearly seized the role.
