After that, he was handed one Hitekkai whose name was Ikaruga, challenging the fight against Horai again. Although his wish is to overthrow the domination of Horai and to take back freedom, he is something rash so that he doesn't desire to die with regrets.

Eventually he released the restrain device of Ikaruga to use the released power, plunging into Ubusunagami-Oki-no-Kai with Kagari. At the same time his death was realized, but his existence has continued after his death because he was transformed into spirit being.

At present she lives in a village of Ikaruga, because she want to see freedom that Shinra and the old have talked.

She rebeled against Horai piloting Ginkei, the Hitekkai which was personal effects, with Shinra. When Shinra used all the released power of Ikaruga, she released all power of Ginkei as he did.

The most part of planning and assembling were his work. He is not very obedient to those around him because he has a little distorted disposition which is characteristic of a technician, yet his nature is gentle in fact.


SHINKAI

He is dynamic, rough, but kind, so that he has worked as the headman of the village of Ikaruga. Although his personality is upright as well as his semblance is, sometimes his warm heart is turned into his weakness. He is a friendly senior for Sinra, so that he has mediated between Amanai and Shinra. He has some mechanical knowledge and assisted Amanai to make Ikaruga, the Hitekkai with Kazamori.

She accepted the will as the revelation of God, but she could have understood the real intention of the will. As a result of sympathizing The Stone-Like, she was possessed by a surface mission and insanity. At last, she installed the restrain device on The Stone-Like to take the power of it.

GINKEI
