OVA
Description
Ichirō Hiruma, eldest of eleven siblings, joined the BUGS-2 mission to financially support his mother and siblings. Previously a high school student aiming for Tokyo University at his ailing mother's request, this goal was derailed when a teacher blackmailed him to conceal an affair resulting in a classmate's pregnancy, fostering Hiruma's deep distrust of outsiders.
Physically corpulent yet possessing dense muscle and bone density akin to a sumo wrestler, Hiruma stands 170 cm tall. He weighed 87 kg during BUGS-2, increasing to 151 kg by the Annex I crisis. Initially apathetic and cowardly toward crewmates, he collaborated with Victoria Wood to steal a Terraformar egg for Mr. Honda, intending betrayal for monetary gain. After the egg hatched prematurely, newborn Terraformars killed Victoria and attacked Hiruma. Rescued by Thien and Shokichi Komachi, he participated in a fierce battle, decapitating a Terraformar using enhanced strength. Witnessing Thien's death profoundly affected him, leading to a vow never to return to Mars or encounter Terraformars again.
Hiruma's abilities derive from the Central African sleeping chironomid (*Polypedilum vanderplanki*), granting cryptobiosis—a hibernation state rendering him virtually indestructible. He survives temperatures up to 200°C, freezing at -270°C for 168 hours, 7000 Gray of radiation, and the vacuum of space. Revival occurs instantly upon liquid contact, demonstrated when Victoria revived him with water and Thien's blood reactivated him during combat. Multiple M.O.-surgeries injections expanded his muscle mass, tearing his suit and enabling hand-to-hand combat using sumo tactics, allowing him to decapitate Terraformars.
Twenty years post-BUGS-2, Hiruma became Japan's 502nd Prime Minister. He maintains contact with his siblings, leveraging political connections to aid them. During the Annex I crisis, he led negotiations among the five heads of state, applying shrewd judgment informed by his Martian trauma. Hiruma prioritizes family loyalty above all else, driving his initial willingness to betray the crew. His distrust of outsiders manifests in pragmatic, sometimes ruthless decisions. Witnessing Thien and Komachi's sacrifices reshaped his outlook, fostering responsibility toward allies. As Prime Minister, he exhibits strategic acumen and decisiveness reflecting his evolved leadership.
