Description
Rabi is a fictional character from the anime Madō King Granzort. His full name is Marius von Ramas, and he is an eleven-year-old boy of the long-eared tribe who serves as the Water Mado Warrior. He is small in stature with blond hair and long rabbit-like ears, which he usually hides under a long bandana while living on the moon's surface.
In terms of background, Rabi was separated from his parents at a very young age and never knew them. He grew up without understanding why he possessed long ears, and he spent much of his early life concealing them. According to his backstory, he was raised by a human grandfather who later died of old age, after which he fell in with space pirates and lived a rough life engaging in pirate-like activities. This difficult upbringing left him mistrustful and self-reliant. Before joining the main group, he was known on the moon as the champion of fighting top-spinning, a skill that eventually leads to his destiny as a warrior.
Rabi's personality is stubborn, proud, and fiercely independent. He refuses to rely on others and prefers to act as a lone wolf, which often brings him into conflict with Daichi, the leader of the group, who values teamwork and cooperation. He is strongly individualistic and competitive, and he tends to favor solo play over coordinated efforts. Beneath his gruff and blunt exterior, however, he is kind-hearted and easily moved by emotional stories. He is willing to risk his life for people he genuinely cares about, even if he struggles to show his feelings openly. He is also easily smitten with girls and enjoys flirting wherever he goes. His known weaknesses include an inability to swim and a dislike of slimy or sticky things.
Rabi's motivation is shaped by his search for belonging and identity. Having grown up without parents and without understanding his own origins, he is driven by a need to survive on his own terms. As the story progresses, his motivation shifts toward protecting his newfound friends and uncovering the truth about his family and his place in the world. He is later revealed to carry a significant family legacy, as his mother is Sayuri, a mysterious bounty hunter disguised as a male warrior, and his grandfather is the powerful mage V-Ramas, who has become the main antagonist Agramant.
His role in the story is that of the third and final member of the trio of Mado Warriors. He joins the group after winning a fighting top-spinning tournament, where he is recognized as the one destined to wield the magic top. With this top, he can draw a magic circle on the surface of water to summon his Mado King, Aquabeat, a giant warrior associated with water. Among the three warriors, Rabi is said to possess the strongest magical power, and he demonstrates glimpses of this extraordinary potential throughout the series.
In combat, Rabi specializes in water-based magic. Aquabeat can perform water and ice attacks as well as healing and defensive spells. Rabi uses a whip that can be extended at the press of a button from the grip of his spinning top, a tool he employs both for spinning the top and in battle. Aquabeat's most notable techniques include the Wave Kaiser, a powerful water spear attack, and the ability to summon the water spirit Undine. Rabi himself is agile and street-smart, and his cunning often complements the more straightforward approaches of his companions.
His key relationships include Daichi, with whom he initially clashes due to their opposing attitudes toward teamwork, but who gradually becomes one of his closest friends. Gas, the Wind Mado Warrior, is the calm and polite mediator who frequently settles arguments between Daichi and Rabi. The elder mage V-Mei serves as a guide to the group, and Guriguri, a young girl of the long-eared tribe, accompanies them on their journey. The most emotionally significant relationship is with his mother, Sayuri, whose true identity he does not learn until late in the story. His relationship with Agramant is also central, as Agramant is revealed to be his grandfather, and at one point Agramant uses his power to brainwash Rabi and turn him against his friends.
Rabi undergoes significant development over the course of the series. He begins as a detached, self-sufficient wanderer who trusts no one, but through his experiences with Daichi and Gas he gradually learns to open up and form genuine bonds of friendship. His personal arc culminates in the final confrontation, when his connection to his friends helps free him from Agramant's control. After the battle, his mother reveals herself by showing him a pendant that serves as the proof of their bond, and the two are finally reunited. Through this journey, Rabi transforms from a lonely outsider into a loyal member of the group, coming to terms with his identity, his family history, and his place among the warriors fighting for the future of their world.
