In the 1986 anime special *Coral Reef Legend: Elfie of the Blue Sea*, Charisma rules Neptune, a floating city sheltering humanity after rising seas flooded the continents. Amidst severe resource shortages and environmental threats, he initiates a massive expansion of fish farming to sustain the city's population. Exploiting deep-seated human xenophobia, Charisma deliberately stokes fear and hostility towards the mythical sea-people through propaganda, framing them as a threat to survival. This manipulation consolidates his authority and justifies launching war against them. His actions instigate the narrative's central conflict, scapegoating the sea-people for Neptune's hardships and ensnaring the protagonist Elfie, who discovers her own link to the underwater civilization. Charisma functions as the political antagonist driving the plot toward confrontation between surface dwellers and the sea-people.
