OVA
Description
Gntarl serves as a significant figure in the heavenly conflict depicted in the 2005 original video animation. He is the commander of the United Army, a military coalition formed by various heavenly realms that have turned against the Magical Kingdom. His position places him in direct opposition to the protagonist, Munto, the young king of the Magical Kingdom.
The core of Gntarl’s personality and actions is driven by a rigid and unyielding ideology concerning the management of Akuto, the fundamental life force drawn from human emotions that sustains both the heavenly and human worlds. The United Army and its leadership condemn the Magical Kingdom for their methods of harvesting this energy, which they claim is destabilizing the heavens. Gntarl is presented as a staunch utilitarian, convinced that the survival of the celestial realm depends on strict rationing and centralized control of Akuto. He views Munto’s alliance with Yumemi Hidaka, a human girl with a unique connection to this power, not as a solution but as a reckless and catastrophic threat to cosmic order. This conviction makes him inflexible, as he dismisses any alternative strategies as naive and equates compromise with weakness, believing that absolute authority under his leadership is the only path to stability.
In the story, Gntarl acts as a secondary antagonist, actively working to thwart Munto’s efforts. His methods are notably merciless, reflecting a willingness to accept collateral damage to achieve his goals. He is willing to employ extreme tactics, such as deploying an automaton assassin to eliminate Munto while Munto is on Earth attempting to recruit Yumemi. When Munto succeeds in reigniting the flow of Akuto, Gntarl adapts his strategy, shifting his focus to capturing Yumemi and turning her into a strategic asset to further his own agenda. Throughout the ensuing civil war among the heavens, he exploits the chaos to consolidate his own power, aiming to become the decisive, unifying force over the fractured realms. His actions put him in conflict with other characters, most notably Gass, a guardian of time who condemns Gntarl's brutality.
While specific details of his personal history or development are limited, Gntarl is defined by his unshakable resolve and his role as a leader of a significant faction in the heavens. His motivations are not driven by personal greed but by a deeply held, though extreme, belief that his harsh measures are the only way to secure his world's future. As for abilities, the known information focuses on his authority and tactical command. He leads the United Army, which possesses significant military resources, including advanced weapons like a powerful automaton sent to assassinate Munto. His power is derived from his command and strategic influence rather than from any explicitly detailed personal combat prowess.
