OVA
Description
Kei Katsuragi is a hot-headed fighter pilot for the Freedom Space Corps during a global war over a space elevator. Disregarding abort orders after engineers die, he arms a Space/Time Oscillation Bomb himself, triggering a dimensional explosion that flings him twenty years into a fractured future where Earth merges with alternate realities.
Stranded in this unstable world, he encounters the nomadic Emaan traders aboard the ship Glomar. They identify him as a "Tokuiten" – translated as "Singularity," "Idiosyncratic Point," or "Differentiated Idioblast" – a figure prophesied to restore dimensional stability. The Emaan rebuild his damaged AV-11D Bronco 2 variable fighter into the transformable mecha "Orguss," named after a war deity from crewmate Jabby’s dimension.
Exhibiting typical 1980s sci-fi protagonist traits, Kei possesses exceptional piloting reflexes and a womanizing streak, introduced in bed with a lover. Despite frequent flirting, he develops a primary romantic relationship with Mimsy Laaz, a 16-year-old Emaan crewmember initially engaged to Slay, creating sustained rivalry as Slay blames him for attracting militaristic Chilam attacks on the Glomar.
Beyond romance, Kei forms kinship with Jahby, another dimension-displaced being, and bonds with the android Mohm (Mome), programmed to serve him but capable of emotional attachment. He befriends crew elder Gorv while navigating friction with engineer Leeg, who initially resents his presence.
Reuniting with his wingman, Olson Verne, brings a critical revelation: their Tokuiten status carries a fatal responsibility. They must sacrifice themselves at the dimensional collapse point, the Great Singularity, to undo the merged realities and prevent Earth's impending ecological collapse from trapped atmospheric heat. This plunges Kei into depression, but his inherent sense of justice ultimately compels acceptance.
In the climax, Kei and Olson reach the Great Singularity Point, revealed as the Space/Time Oscillation Bomb frozen mid-detonation alongside their past selves. Recognizing the necessity to prevent their past actions, they confront and kill their earlier counterparts. Their deaths allow the bomb to self-destruct harmlessly, resetting the timelines, restoring separate realities, and fulfilling their Tokuiten destiny.
