Gustav Honda commands Special Fire Force Company 2 under the Tokyo Empire’s military, wielding Third Generation pyrokinetic abilities that ignite flames from his scalp. In battle, he channels these flames through high-speed headbutts and projectile attacks launched from a massive cannon. His imposing presence is marked by a bald head, bushy mustache, and a stocky frame (165 cm, 110 kg), clad in a uniform bearing Company 2’s insignia. A stern disciplinarian, Gustav’s unwavering loyalty to the Empire and Raffles III sparks tensions with mavericks like Benimaru Shinmon. Beneath his gruff exterior lies a protective streak—he personally rescued Takeru Noto during a crisis and pushes subordinates through joint drills to sharpen their skills. Driven by rivalry, he relentlessly pushes his team to outperform other fire companies. He spearheaded Company 2’s response to the Stone Pillars crisis, deploying Juggernaut’s cybernetic cannon-arm in combat. As the Adola Burst phenomenon and Evangelist’s threat loomed, his voice carried weight in strategic war councils. White-Clad operations under his command suffered heavy losses, yet he ultimately crushed the Conductor faction’s schemes, paving the way for tactical alliances with Company 8. Though privately self-conscious about his baldness—a subject of barracks whispers he never hears—Gustav finds solace in hotpot feasts, milk tea, and bovine companions. His daily resolve centers on family welfare, while his name echoes artillery history and samurai lineage. The Cataclysm claimed his life temporarily until Shinra Kusakabe’s reality reset restored him. While critics note his explosive headbutts struggle against agile opponents, battlefield veterans respect his ironclad endurance and leadership in coordinated assaults.
