THE MAIN CHARACTERS IN SHIROW'S ORION
|
Susano Orbatos- Warrior God of The Black Dragon-Eye
Susano Orbatos, Vajra Arhat, The God Of Darkness and Destruction, was summoned by Master Fuzen, head of the Kurama Tendai, to stop the Nine Headed Naga from devouring planet Lurieh. Wild and arrogant Susano proves that he is indeed Destruction- plowing and destroying with little regard to human life. Sensing the threat and power of the Naga, Susano is out to undo the mess. In his mission to salvage Lurieh, Susano has to quash the nuissance of the Evil Seska and face various psycho-science nonsense. Susano at last found his equal counterpart in Princess Kushinata, source of the Naga, and in the process enlightened on the nature of his true self. Although quite far from the original Susano in the ancient Shinto Myths of Japan, he retains the vital characteristics- wild, upstart, destructive. Is this the only hope of salvation for humanity? Experience the wrath of heaven! Susano's weapon: A ten-pan sword, and much later in the story, acquired Tsumukari, the Sword God.

That is until she was possesed and became the Malevolent Deity of The Tenth Element. After manipulating the Emperor for power over the Nine Headed Naga and getting even with Susano she proclaimed herself the Future Empress of the Greater Galaxy Empire (That's a pretty clear indication of her character!).
