Description
Suou Rakels, an artificial human crafted through alchemy by Rirove Rakels to replicate Rirove's deceased younger brother, escapes his creator after being labeled a failure. He pursues his own humanity and Rirove's acceptance, a core desire driving his actions. Suou struggles with human emotions and social norms, often reacting with awkwardness or aggression toward others, yet remains fiercely devoted to Rirove.
His quest for a mythical life-giving tree leads him to Tsurugi Tatewaki and the Sword Eyes of Light. Initially focused solely on his mission, Suou gradually aids the group, participating in the failed attempt to save Grenada—his first selfless act. Briefly adopted by a wealthy Kamata couple, he abandons comfort, realizing greater fulfillment lies with Tsurugi's group.
A pivotal moment occurs during an attack on Kolga village, drawing Suou, Hagakure, and Rirove into the Green Deity Sacred Tree. Witnessing Rirove's deterioration, Suou performs a sacrificial act, giving his soul to save his creator. This results in his death, but purple spirits within the tree revive him as Rirove's true biological brother, wielding the purple Sword Brave of Light. Transformed with greater confidence and purpose, Suou defeats Sora and briefly leads a gang in a black market, using defensive alchemy before reconciling with Rirove after losing a duel to Tsurugi.
In the final conflict, Suou provides Tsurugi with Amethysnake and aids civilian evacuations. The epilogue finds him working construction and living peacefully with Rirove, his once-rude demeanor permanently softened. Manga adaptations show Suou immediately inspired to assist the Sword Eyes after their first meeting at the sacred tree, omitting his extended anime quest, though his core journey from isolated creation to selfless individual finding belonging through family remains consistent.
Suou employs a purple Battle Spirits deck featuring snake-themed spirits and a charge-focused strategy. Key cards include The WhiteSnakeEmperor Aldius-Viper, The FlashSoulBlade Lightning-Shion, and Amethysnake. His battle record includes victories against Sora and Rirove, and a loss to Tsurugi.
