Description
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald is a tall and slender man with short, combed blonde hair and clear blue eyes. His typical attire consists of a properly buttoned white shirt with a tie, paired with a creamy yellow tailored suit and trousers. When he activates his ability, green, stripe-like markings appear across his body. He is the leader of the American organization known as the Guild.
Born into poverty, Fitzgerald worked for two years as a young man to afford a revolver, and through unspecified means, he killed four people to obtain more money. Over time, he rose to become an immensely wealthy individual, owning three conglomerates, five hotels, one airline, and a railway company. He married a woman named Zelda, and they had a daughter together. After their daughter died, Zelda was unable to accept the loss and fell into a delusion, believing their child was still alive and studying abroad. Resolved to restore his family to its former happiness by using the power of a legendary artifact known as the Book to bring his daughter back to life, Fitzgerald set his sights on the city of Yokohama, where he believed the Book could be found.
As the leader of the Guild, Fitzgerald is defined by his overwhelming pride and confidence in his own success. He often boasts about his vast fortunes and intensely dislikes having his offers rejected. Despite this arrogance, he is not portrayed as purely evil. He demonstrates a genuine sense of care for his subordinates, always seeking to devise strategies that minimize their casualties, and states that he has the right to protect his possessions, his people. This protectiveness, however, is largely reserved for his organization; his plans to take over Yokohama involve operations that would cause mass civilian casualties, showing an indifference to those he does not consider his own. Above all, his deepest motivation is his love for his family, and his quest for the Book is ultimately a desperate attempt to heal his wife and bring back his deceased daughter.
Fitzgerald serves as the primary antagonist during the Guild arc of the story. He is the one who placed a massive bounty on the weretiger Atsushi Nakajima and hired the Port Mafia to capture him. He later appears in person before the Armed Detective Agency, attempting to purchase their Ability Business Permit. When his offer is refused, he becomes angered and threatens the agency, initiating a direct conflict. His organization operates from a colossal airship named the Moby Dick, which he plans to crash into Yokohama as part of his strategy. In a final battle aboard the descending airship, he is confronted and ultimately defeated by the combined efforts of Atsushi Nakajima and Ryunosuke Akutagawa. After his defeat, he falls from the Moby Dick into the sea and is presumed dead.
However, Fitzgerald survives the fall. His 500,000-dollar wedding ring is automatically consumed by his ability, enhancing his durability and saving his life. He is later found living as a penniless beggar in Yokohama's slums, having lost his inheritance, status, and identity. He refuses his subordinate Louisa May Alcott's pleas to return and lead the remnants of the Guild, until he intervenes to save her from criminals. Using Alcott's most valuable possession to power his ability, he defeats their attackers and agrees to rebuild, forming the Renewed Guild. His determination proves to be a defining strength, as he quickly works to restore his fortune, plans to acquire a powerful surveillance system called the Eyes of God, and even cooperates with Osamu Dazai of the Armed Detective Agency to capture a common enemy in exchange for the Guild's hidden assets.
Fitzgerald has several key relationships that define his actions. His bond with his wife, Zelda, is the driving force behind his every scheme, as he maintains the illusion of their daughter's existence to keep her from further despair. He shares a complex dynamic with his subordinates, particularly Louisa May Alcott and John Steinbeck. While he can be ruthless, he also shows a paternalistic care for them, valuing their skills and safety. His primary adversaries are the members of the Armed Detective Agency, especially Atsushi Nakajima, whom he comes to respect for his willpower. Despite his initial role as a villain, his tenacity leads to a grudging alliance with the agency against greater threats.
Throughout the story, Fitzgerald undergoes significant development. He begins as an untouchable, supremely confident billionaire, but is stripped of everything, including his wealth and purpose. His time as a destitute beggar represents his lowest point, forcing him to confront a world without money. However, he does not remain broken. Through his own resilience and the loyalty of Alcott, he rebuilds himself and his organization, demonstrating that his most powerful assets are not his material wealth but his unyielding determination and ambition. He adapts from a direct conqueror to a more strategic player, willing to cooperate with former enemies to achieve his long-term goals.
The Great Fitzgerald is Fitzgerald's ability, which allows him to convert monetary value directly into physical power. By spending money, he can temporarily amplify his strength, speed, endurance, and durability to superhuman levels. For example, spending 100,000 dollars grants him significant power, while spending vastly larger amounts can allow him to withstand attacks that would destroy a city. The ability can be activated not only by spending his own wealth but also by sacrificing valuable objects, such as his wedding ring or the possessions of his allies. The increase in power is proportional to the amount of money or value spent, making him a highly versatile and dangerous combatant whose strength is directly tied to his resources.
