OVA
Description
Buaku is a cunning criminal strategist orchestrating high-stakes bank heists and chaos, commanding a crew funded by shadowy patrons. His origin diverges between continuities: the OVA depicts him as an artificial being engineered by the Greenpeace Crolis project, a covert program crafting humanoid organisms to cleanse polluted air. Surviving a lab raid, he fled into the underworld, only to be falsely implicated in a robbery by an enigmatic woman—a pivotal moment that cemented his life of crime. The manga reimagines his past as an elusive Argentine felon active for over eight decades, his early exploits shrouded in mystery.
His operations consistently serve the demands of unnamed benefactors. In the OVA, he hunts urine samples critical to the Greenpeace experiment and pursues encrypted project data concealed within a self-portrait, evading the Tank Police’s interventions. The manga concludes his arc with the audacious theft of the Embryo space colony, abandoning Earth with his gang but stranding the Puma Sisters as decoys.
The Puma Sisters—former android companions repurposed as combatants—form his core crew, their alliance strictly professional. Post-Buaku’s disappearance in the manga, they drift into independent mercenary work, their allegiance fading. An alternate timeline in *Conflict One: No More Noise* briefly places them alongside the Tank Police, though Buaku’s involvement remains unexplored.
The Greenpeace Crolis project anchors his ambitions variably across narratives. The android Crolis, built to reverse environmental decay, becomes a strategic asset: the OVA sidelines her as a secondary target, while the manga elevates her as essential to his bid for off-world colonization amid Earth’s ecological ruin.
Notable for a cybernetic right arm in select iterations, Buaku balances ruthless efficiency with flamboyant taunts directed at law enforcement. He adheres to a self-serving moral calculus, minimizing collateral damage unless confronted. Later series like *New Dominion Tank Police* marginalize his role, prioritizing police factional conflicts. His ultimate destiny remains ambiguous across all timelines, preserving potential for future resurgence.
