OVA
Description
Iason Mink belongs to the Blondies, Tanagura's genetically engineered Elite caste. He commands the Market Intelligence Department and rules the Syndicate controlling the city's underworld, earning the titles "Lord of the Underworld" and "Ice Man" through ruthless, meritocratic leadership. His authority is visually defined by waist-length golden hair, azure eyes, a towering height of 198 cm (6'6"), and an artificial body representing the perfected male form, blending immense strength with simulated warmth. Functionally, he exhibits rare Elite traits: the ability to alter his hair's color and length for disguise, and possessing operational genitalia incapable of climax, ejaculation, or procreation due to his inorganic nature.
As Jupiter's favored Elite, Iason communicates directly with the supercomputer governing Amoi and enforces its will. He initially embodies cold rationality, enforcing rigid societal hierarchies and valuing competence above all, punishing incompetence or betrayal severely. His Black Market reputation stems from wielding power with an "ice-cold fist," demanding absolute loyalty while rewarding success.
His defining character arc centers on an irrational obsession with Riki, a slum mongrel. Their first encounter occurs when Iason catches Riki attempting theft in the Pleasure Quarters. Fascinated by Riki's defiance—a stark contrast to Tanagura's subservience—Iason later orchestrates Riki's entry into the Black Market as a courier. After disposing of his previous Academy-bred pet, Aaron, Iason disrupts societal norms by claiming Riki as his pet, a decision criticized by fellow Elites like Raoul Am. This obsession evolves into genuine emotional attachment, defying Elite prohibitions against sexual and emotional engagement. Iason's relationship exposes inner conflict: though societal norms frame his punishments of Riki as routine pet discipline, he increasingly acts against his calculated nature, shielding Riki from disposal and relocating him to a private apartment in Apatia.
Iason's defiance escalates to forbidden physical intimacy with Riki. This triggers an assassination attempt by political rivals exploiting his vulnerability. During the attack, Riki is captured by his former partner Guy. Iason rescues Riki but sustains critical injuries, including leg amputation. Facing deactivation by Jupiter for his transgressions, he rejects a replacement body. In their final moments amid Tanagura's collapse, Iason and Riki mutually acknowledge their feelings. Iason dies content, having reciprocated his love.
Secondary relationships include Katze, his former furniture turned Black Market broker. Iason spared Katze after discovering his hacking of Tanagura's systems, recognizing his strategic value. Katze becomes Iason's right hand, facilitates interactions with Riki, and witnesses Iason's unraveling. Raoul Am, a fellow Blondie and chief scientist, serves as Iason's sole confidant, cautioning against the taboo relationship while offering tacit support.
