OVA
Description
Dordo holds the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel within the Dress Organization, serving as a high-ranking assassin. He survived a catastrophic explosion that destroyed over half his body, necessitating extensive cybernetic reconstruction. This replaced his right side with mechanical components, granting enhanced durability and integrating concealed weaponry into his limbs. He claims approximately 2,500 kills during his assassin career.
Physically, Dordo is an adult male with a lean face, prominent eyebrows, and long dark hair usually tied in a ponytail. His cybernetics include a metallic right arm, the right side of his skull, and internal components; damage in combat visibly exposes these enhancements. His attire varies: the manga depicts him initially in formal wear like a suit and bowtie, later switching to a dark cloak and wide-brimmed hat. The OVA shows him in a military-style uniform with a bulletproof vest and utilitarian accessories.
Dordo exhibits a ruthless, cunning personality, favoring underhanded tactics. He meticulously plans assassinations to exploit target weaknesses, such as timing attacks to bypass psychic defenses or using civilians as proxies. Confronted by overwhelming force like Baoh's transformations, his confidence shatters into panic and cowardice. He resorts to hostage-taking or fleeing when outmatched, though intense pride in his sniping skills fuels volatile rage if superiors or peers humiliate him.
His cybernetic body provides multifaceted combat capabilities. The mechanical right hand houses hidden knuckle firearms, a hypnosis device for brainwashing, and an internal explosive usable as a grenade. This hand detaches for remote manipulation, enabling hostage-taking or remote detonation. He replaces it with a specialized sniper rifle interfacing with his cybernetic right eye for enhanced targeting. His body also contains a collapsible hang glider (supplemented by an OVA jetpack) for rapid escape or mobility.
Dordo utilizes genetically engineered "Aroma Bats" fitted with chemical emitters. These bats release targeted aromas to neutralize Baoh's extrasensory perception, making him vulnerable. Dordo controls the bats via an ultrasonic emitter in his mechanical hand.
His narrative diverges between media. In the manga, he orchestrates a failed assassination on Ikuro Hashizawa by hypnotizing an elderly shooter. After this fails, he deploys Aroma Bats and attempts a poison injection, again thwarted. Baoh severely damages his body, exposing his cybernetics, prompting Dordo to flee with Sumire as a hostage. Later humiliated by Dr. Kasuminome and mocked within Dress, he disobeys orders to snipe Ikuro alone. This second failure results in his execution via molecular disintegration by the psychic assassin Walken.
The OVA streamlines his role, introducing him earlier as a field officer overseeing Dress operations. He participates in a demonstration killing a Baoh-infected dog and later leads soldiers against Ikuro. After his troops are killed, he confronts Baoh directly, sustains damage revealing his cyborg nature, and escapes via deltaplane with Sumire. In this version, he attempts to snipe Ikuro from a helicopter during a cliff ascent. Baoh deflects his explosive bullet back at the helicopter, causing an explosion that kills Dordo.
