From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shattered Angels (京四郎ã¨æ°¸é ã®ç©º, KyÅshirÅ
to Towa no Sora
?, lit. "Kyoshiro and the Eternal Sky")
is the title of a Japanese manga
created by Kaishaku which was first
serialized in the Japanese shÅnen manga magazine
Monthly Dragon Age in May 2006.
An anime adapted from the manga
aired in Japan between January 5 and March 23, 2007; it contained
twelve episodes. The series makes references to many of Kaishaku's
past works, namely Kannazuki no Miko, Magical Nyan Nyan Taruto,
UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie,
and most notably Steel Angel Kurumi.
Plot
Shattered Angels revolves around the life of KÅ«
Shiratori who is a seemingly normal high school girl who enjoys
school life in the giant city Academia, which is thought of as a
symbol of recovery for humanity since already ten years have passed
since the greatest disaster mankind had ever seen occurred. KÅ« has
recently been having a recurring dream where a prince meets her and
takes her away. One day, while all the students at her school are
preparing for the upcoming school festival, the prince whom she has
met several times in her dreams appears. The prince, whose name is
Kyoshiro AyanokÅji, requests of her just as he had done in KÅ«'s
dreams, "Let's go, together...."
Themes
The series melds together several elements both familiar and
new. The majority of the main characters appear to be involved in
romantic relationships. KÅ« is often struggling to make sense of who
is truly in love with whom. A large amount of kissing is witnessed
very early in the series. The Absolute Angels are superhuman in
nature and to remain so they must draw energy from a human being
through the lips, a theme borrowed from Steel Angel
Kurumi.
The series breaks from the regular battle etiquette in which the
pilot of a mecha climbs into the cockpit. Rather, the Angels
materialize and control their mecha from without or manifest
specific parts of their bodies into large mechanized limbs.
Throughout a battle, an Angel phases in and out of their angelic
forms voluntarily and involuntarily. As in Kannazuki no
Miko, the names of the mecha are taken from artifacts and iconic figures
of Japanese and European mythology.
Characters
- Kū Shiratori (白鳥 空, Shiratori
KÅ«
?)
- Voiced by: Sayuri
Yahagi (Japanese), Brittney Karbowski (English)
- KÅ« is quite the normal high school girl who feels as if she is
drifting through her existence and she always describes herself as
being "empty". She never misses a chance to give letters to the
mysterious prince in her dreams and frequently talks to him in her
thoughts. In reality she is an introverted girl, believing that she
lacks good qualities. She appears to be easily overwhelmed by
situations that deviate from her previous experiences and
expectations.
- Her original name is Cielo (ãƒã‚§ãƒ¼ãƒ, ChÄ“ro
?), meaning sky, who is the original
Absolute Angel researched by Kazuya and his grandfather. During the
incident ten years prior to the main story, Cielo is split into
four pieces, Murakumo, Batraz, ClaÃomh Solais and Megingjord. In
addition, Megingjord is separated into two pieces. KÅ« is the
original body, while Valteishia is the soul; this explains KÅ«'s
initial feelings that she is lacking something inside. In the end
of the series, her body crumbles and she reincarnates as a smaller
version of herself. Prior to the end of the last episode, she has
dreams of the four Absolute Angels. After the credits of the last
episode, Kyoshiro and Setsuna find her near the European Alps, and
when she sets her eyes on Kyoshiro she instantly remembers her past
life's memories. Her personality and characteristics are drawn
heavily from Himeko Kurusugawa from Kannazuki no Miko,
meaning that two distinct characters are inspired by her.
- Kyoshiro AyanokÅji (綾å°è·¯ 京四郎, AyanokÅji
KyÅshirÅ
?)
- Voiced by: Katsuyuki
Konishi (Japanese), Josh Grelle (English)
- Kyoshiro is instantly likened by KÅ« to the prince in her dreams
when he transfers to KÅ«'s school from the legendary JÅtÅ Academy.
He is a refined gentleman, adept in horseback riding, and has a
tendency to play the violin while deep in thought. Kyoshiro is the
youngest of the four children in his family. He supports the
Central Student Government and has also stated his intention to
recover and destroy all of the Absolute Angels, following what he
believes to be the wishes of his deceased brother, Kazuya. He
eventually falls in love with KÅ«, which forces him to re-evaluate
his belief about Absolute Angels and the way he has been treating
Setsuna. He later admits to Setsuna that he loves KÅ« and, albeit
after some time, Setsuna understands and only agrees to Kyoshiro's
plans after she accompanies him to find Ku and says her
farewells.
- Setsuna (ã›ã¤ãª
?)
- Voiced by: Yuki
Matsuoka (Japanese), Maggie Flecknoe (English)
- Setsuna, also known as "Setsuna of the Moment of Dreams," is
the Absolute Angel ClaÃomh Solais. She fights alongside Kyoshiro as
his partner. Setsuna treasures a ribbon bow with bells, which is
given to her by Kyoshiro and tied to the right side of her
headdress. Rarely expressing any emotion, she is physically
beautiful and can carry out every household chore flawlessly,
leading KÅ« to call her a "princess". Setsuna acts solely based on
Kyoshiro's orders and wishes, not her own will, and has a habit of
saying, "Would you prefer that, Kyoshiro?" She begins to grow
jealous of Kyoshiro and KÅ«'s closeness, but she holds back her
feelings so as to not trouble Kyoshiro. When Kyoshiro confesses his
love for KÅ«, however, Setsuna fails to restrain her emotions for
the first time. In special three of the anime, Setsuna started to
copy KÅ«'s actions so she gets Kyoshiro's love and kindness. She
later understands Ku's feeling and lets Kyoshiro love KÅ«. She later
accompanies Kyoshiro, after cutting her hair, to find KÅ« and say
her final farewells. She most closely resembles Otowa from
Kannazuki no Miko.
- Setsuna's Absolute Angel symbol is located on her right arm,
which is the dominant hand in ClaÃomh Solais.
- Mika AyanokÅji (綾å°è·¯ 三è¯, AyanokÅji
Mika
?)
- Voiced by: Atsuko
Tanaka (Japanese), Kaytha Coker (English)
- Mika is the ruler of the Higashigetsu FÅ«ma Witch Academy, who
is setting forth the domination of all the female students through
her right hand, Kaon. She displays signs of jealousy fueled by
possessiveness when observing Himiko providing Kaon with energy,
and apparently has a vindictive streak, as she punishes those of
her subordinates who fail her. Furthermore, she displays signs of
megalomania and extreme egomania. Mika is the third eldest child of
the AyanokÅji family. She seems to have heterochromia, with her right iris being
purple and the other orange; it is later implied that the orange
eye may in fact be an implant. Mika suffered injuries during the
'Days of Hot Snow' which obliged her to have hospital stay and she
is shown with a bandage covering her left eye. Years later, she
seems to be suffering from a potentially debilitating medical
condition, despite her usual poise and her much-lauded graces,
which is possibly exacerbated by her tendency to provide Kaon with
too much of her own Mana.
- Mika's own words betray that she desires Murakamo to love no
one but herself and she expresses a malicious jealousy and contempt
of Himiko, who is much deeper in Kaon's affections than she can
apparently hope to be. Mika's flashbacks to her time in the
hospital imply that she has fixated on Kaon because Kaon reminds
Mika of a similar-looking nurse, who had cared for Mika while she
was injured. Other people who bear the brunt of her bile are her
elder brother Kazuya, whom she hates absolutely for everything he
ever did, including the events surrounding his supposed death, and
her younger brother Kyoshiro, who she considers to be 'the demon's
tail', with Kazuya being 'the demon'. Mika's intense hatred for
Kazuya seems to have originated during her early teens, when he
stole away a girl she was developing an affection for, apparently
with the explicit intention of hurting his sister's feelings.
- Before her death, she entrusted Himiko to rescue Kaon from
Kazuya, despite the fact that she hated Himiko because of her
closeness to Kaon, and to that end gave her the key to a device she
created based on plans drawn up by her grandfather ReitarÅ. This
device is a cello capable of creating a harmony to suppress Mana,
thus causing pain to an Absolute Angel—or Kazuya.
- Kaon (ã‹ãŠã‚“
?)
- Voiced by: Ayako
Kawasumi (Japanese), Monica Rial (English)
- Kaon, also known as "Kaon of the Lunar Spiral," is the Absolute
Angel Murakumo (a reference to the mecha/deity Ame no Murakamo from Kannazuki no
Miko.) A student from the Higashigetsu FÅ«ma Witch Academy, she
stages attacks on KÅ« and her friends by order of Mika, although she
does not seem to feed on the energy of innocent bystanders as
Tarlotte does. Himiko usually appears with her. Despite the fact
that she is Mika's sword, she harbors a deep affection for Himiko,
although she initially denies that their relationship is of a
romantic nature.
- Kaon (æŒéŸ³
?) is derivative of Chikane Himemiya
(åƒæŒéŸ³
?), her alter ego in Kannazuki no Miko and
has been said to be Chikane's reincarnation. She displays a strong
desire to protect Himiko, even at a cost to herself, just as
Chikane did for Himeko. She has her Absolute Angel mark on her left
arm. At one point, Mika removes Kaon's own mark to place her own,
after having had her subjected to a torturous process to increase
the power of Murakumo and to restrict Kaon to only being able to
draw energy from Mika. These events change Kaon's personality and
sever her emotional bond with Himiko, to the latter's great
distress. Nevertheless, Kaon's true nature and affections still
exist underneath the damage done to her by Mika's torments, and she
soon overrides Mika's work to protect Himiko from harm. Her mark is
restored when Himiko kisses Kaon, expressing her love for her.
- In special two of the anime, Kaon goes to visit Himiko and
Himiko draws her nude with a blanket. They talk about if they can
visit more, but Kaon has to be repaired, a process that could
result in memory loss or death; Himiko cries tenderly and Kaon puts
her arms around her and says "Don't worry, because I'll be in
here." (Meaning in Himiko's heart). Himiko tries to kiss her, but
Kaon said "Save that until I come back." Kaon leaves, but Himiko
grabs her hand and kisses her anyway. In the ending scenes she and
Himiko lives together like their previous reincarnation and in the
sixth special, they're shown in a jewelry store, buying two
pendants that not only link up to form a heart, but also bear pink
seashells, the same worn on a necklace Himeko had in Kannazuki
no Miko.
- Himiko (ã²ã¿ã“
?)
- Voiced by: Noriko
Shitaya (Japanese), Luci Christian (English)
- Himiko adheres closely to Kaon and is one of Mika's many
lovers, although the relationship is not romantic; rather, Himiko
is Mika's subordinate in all things, with Mika using her as she
sees fit. Himiko has even mentioned that her name was 'assigned' to
her by Mika. She is based on the character Himeko Kurusugawa from
Kannazuki no Miko and has been said to be Himeko's
reincarnation. She certainly initially seems to display Himeko's
lack of self-confidence and strong emotional bond with Chikane's
counterpart, Kaon, even protecting her and providing her with
energy at a cost to her own well-being. Just like Himeko, she
eventually displays great determination and courage, motivated by
her desire to save Kaon from Kazuya. Like Himeko, she enjoys
creating pictures, although Himiko's medium is a sketchbook, rather
than a photo camera. Her only subject for her drawings and
paintings seems to be Kaon, who has said she enjoys Himiko's
drawings very much. She later lives together with Kaon near a
beach.
- In special two of the anime, Kaon goes to visit Himiko and
Himiko draws her nude with a blanket. They talk about if they can
visit more, but Kaon has to be repaired, a process that could
result in memory loss or death; Himiko cries tenderly and Kaon puts
her arms around her and says "Don't worry, because I'll be in
here." (Meaning in Himiko's heart). Himiko tries to kiss her, but
Kaon said "Save that until I come back." Kaon leaves, but Himiko
grabs her hand and kisses her anyway. In the ending scenes, she and
Himiko lives together like their previous reincarnation and in the
sixth special, they're shown in a jewelry store, buying two
pendants that not only link up to form a heart, but also bear pink
seashells, the same worn on necklaces Himeko and Chikane had in
Kannazuki no Miko.
- SÅjirÅ AyanokÅji (綾å°è·¯ 蒼二郎, AyanokÅji
SÅjirÅ
?)
- Voiced by: YÅ«ji
Kishi (Japanese), Andrew Love (English)
- SÅjirÅ is the second eldest child of the AyanokÅji family. He
is a muscular, heavily scarred man who can stop Kyoshiro's sword
swings and endure Tarlotte's beatings. Whatever is said or done to
Tarlotte by anyone, often it is SÅjirÅ who endures the wrath of her
anger. Despite this fact, he seems to be the one most concerned
with Tarlotte's well-being, even providing her with energy when she
falls unconscious after a battle, despite the fact that Tarlotte
attacks him when she finds him kissing her to provide energy
without her permission. SÅjirÅ not only seems to feel compassion
for the people who are temporarily drained of energy by Tarlotte,
but expresses feelings of pity for all the Absolute Angels.
- Unlike Kyoshiro's and Mika's behavior towards 'their' Absolute
Angels, he seems to care for Tarlotte as a person, doing his best
to keep her happy and worrying for her safety. In contrast with his
siblings, SÅjirÅ appears to be a peaceful and thoughtful
individual, who cares for the fate of bystanders of his own
initiative. SÅjirÅ seems to be aware early on of the way events in
his world are spiralling out of control and tries to decide the
best way to redress this situation.
- Jin ÅŒgami eventually reveals that prior to his association with
Tarlotte, SÅjirÅ was actually the commander of the Morality
Enforcement Squad. After Kazuya kidnaps Tarlotte, SÅjirÅ seeks out
the Squad to get its help in retrieving the Absolute Angels. He
reacts with some amusement to the one condition Jin states; that
SÅjirÅ should return to his duties as commander, this despite the
fact that he had been branded a criminal for assisting Tarlotte.
After the series, he keeps his word and resumes his duties and it
is implied that he helps teach Tarlotte [[Kanji].
- SÅjirÅ resembles the Orochi follower Girochi from Kannazuki
no Miko.
- Tarlotte (ãŸã‚‹ã‚ã£ã¦,
Tarurotte
?)
- Voiced by: Hisayo
Mochizuki (Japanese), Cynthia Martinez (English)
- Tarlotte, also known as "Tarlotte of the Aligned Planets," is
the Absolute Angel Batraz. Her
anger lays waste to all who stand before her, but she has a
childish personality and mind to go with her childish body.
Tarlotte frequently has trouble finding the right words to express
herself. While attacking the academy, she absorbs the life energy
of the students. She has a rather odd relationship with her
companion, SÅjirÅ; while she apparently enjoys his food, is jealous
of his attention and relies on him to care for her, she frequently
vents her frustrations upon him through acts of violence.
Nevertheless, when kidnapped by Kazuya, Tarlotte makes it clear
that she wishes to be with SÅjirÅ and no one else. She has
apparently held SÅjirÅ in such high regard since he saved her from
the Morality Enforcement Squad, which had been holding her prisoner
and conducted experiments on her sometime after the 'Seven days of
Hot Snow' event. Tarlotte is later seen in the Onsenyado Academy
after the events, experiencing a hot spring for the first time. She
accidentally intrudes on Kaon and Himiko, who are also there, but
is oblivious to the chaos that follows with Himiko trying to calm
an angry Kaon. The final OVA shows her causing trouble during an
assembly while chasing a moth.
- Her Absolute Angel emblem is located on her right thigh. Her
tail is merely attached to her underwear, though it does move to
her emotions. Although her design is similar to Nekoko's from
Kannazuki no Miko, Tarlotte's name resembles those of
Taruto and Charlotte, two characters from Kaishaku's older work
Magical Nyan Nyan Taruto. Taruto's character is also
voiced by Hisayo Mochizuki.
- Valteishia (ワルテイシーア,
Waruteishīa
?)
- Voiced by: Megumi
Ogata (Japanese), Robin Terry (English)
- Valteishia, referring to herself as "Valteishia of the Sun and
Solitude," commands the Absolute Angel Megingjord. She has
experienced death and reincarnation many times and is now using her
fourth body. Valteishia is the current companion of Kazuya and his
loyal follower. At Kazuya's command, she apparently suppresses KÅ«'s
memories of her time with Kyoshiro and stuns Setsuna so he can take
her away. Also, Valteishia likes Kazuya.
- When Valteishia explains how the original Absolute Angel Cielo
was split into four beings, she clarifies that one of those further
subdivided into its body and spirit. KÅ« is the body of that one
Absolute Angel, while Valteishia is its spirit. Lacking a body of
its own, this spirit was shunted into a Steel Angel body by Kazuya
and became the current Valteishia. Valteishia apparently longs to
be restored to her 'vessel', KÅ«, although she seems to regret some
of Kazuya's acts and her own part in them. After the series, she
aids a wheelchair-bound Kazuya, who appears to suffer from some
mental damage.
- Her design is adapted from Valkyrie, of the anime and manga
series UFO Princess
Valkyrie.
- Kazuya AyanokÅji (綾å°è·¯ 一夜, AyanokÅji
Kazuya
?) (10 years prior to main story
timeline)
- Voiced by: Ken
Narita (Japanese), Jay Hickman (English)
- The eldest son of the AyanokÅji family and a genius, who was
involved in the experiments to create Absolute Angels alongside his
grandfather. Kyoshiro believes that he sacrificed himself in an
attempt to quell the great catastrophe of ten years prior to the
main time line of the story. SÅjirÅ, however, has stated that for
all his positive traits, Kazuya was a fool. Mika has added to this
that Kazuya was as ruthless as a demon behind his eternal smile and
tendency to always be victorious in any challenge. Kyoshiro looks
up to him and makes every effort to emulate him, something his
brother SÅjirÅ has advised him against and which arouses Mika's
hatred for him.
- Kazuya resembles the prince from KÅ«'s dreams even more strongly
than Kyoshiro does; her dreams of the prince are in fact memories
of the time she spent in the lab, being developed by Kazuya and the
other scientists.
- (Present)
- Originally depicted as the prince from KÅ«'s dreams and whom she
describes to be 'strong, kind, and always has a smile' and clad in
all white, Kazuya reappears after going missing for ten years and
having been presumed dead. He resembles Tsubasa from Kannazuki
no Miko.
- The real Kazuya appears to be an evil, even insane person with
egomaniacal tendencies, who behaves and speaks in an overly
theatrical manner. He did not actually save his younger brother
Kyoshiro, but accidentally pushed him into an escape pod when he
wanted him out of the way. He generally holds his siblings in
contempt, claiming that nothing they have done or achieved equals
his own actions and achievements. In the past, he sadistically
tormented his younger sister Mika by stealing her first love away.
In the present, he brutally beats his brothers and kills his
sister.
- Upon his return, Kazuya explains that it was he who
intentionally awoke the Absolute Angel Cielo against the counsel of
his grandfather ReitarÅ, thus bringing about the 'Seven Days of Hot
Snow'. His exposure to a deluge of Cielo's Mana caused him to be
transformed into something other than human, capable of using Mana
himself. He demonstrates inhuman powers, which usually manifest as
thorny vines growing from his hands, with which he can cause vast
destruction. He can apparently also teleport and is capable of
draining Mana out of an Absolute Angel with a kiss, a clear
indication of his inhumanity. His abduction of the Absolute Angels,
including KÅ«, all serve his goal of reuniting them into the
original Cielo. To objections voiced both by his grandfather and
his youngest brother, that the Absolute Angels could destroy the
world if unleashed, he has replied that the destruction of the
world is insignificant in comparison with the Absolute Angels'
beauty. Kazuya ends up in a wheelchair at the end of the series and
appears to be suffering from some mental damage; he is being taken
care of by Valteishia.
- Jin Ōgami (大神 ジン, Ōgami
Jin
?)
- Voiced by: Junji
Majima (Japanese), Blake Shepard (English)
- Jin, as the shield of order in the city of Academia, is the
leader of the Seventh Public Morality Enforcement Squad. He is
based on the character SÅma ÅŒgami from Kannazuki no Miko,
but has a much less forthright personality and seems to be more
concerned with the safety of Academia as a whole than the rights of
certain individuals.
- Kozue SatÅ (ä½è—¤ ã“ãšãˆ, SatÅ
Kozue
?)
- Voiced by: Rina SatÅ
(Japanese), Jessica Boone (English)
- Kozue has been KÅ«'s best friend since they were little and
always keeps her in mind. She has her energy drained from her by
Tarlotte during one of the latter's attacks on the school Kozue
attends along with KÅ«. She has a fascination with Jin ÅŒgami. She
remains concerned with KÅ«'s well-being after the latter disappears
and tries to contact her, though KÅ« is unaware of this and believes
her place at Kozue's side has been taken. Neither of Kozue's
parents are with her. She appears to resemble Makoto from
Kannazuki no Miko

In the past, mankind had succeeded in making humans that
surpassed other humans, indestructible entities called Steel
Angels. From there, the research continued and Absolute Angels are
created.
Setsuna claims that each Absolute Angel has a tool or item which
they use to concentrate their powers and manifest their mecha. For
Setsuna, this is the pair of bells she wears in her hair; for Kaon,
it is her moon-shaped earring; for Tarlotte, it is supposedly her
feet; Valteishia may use her staff; it is as yet unknown what KÅ«'s
item might be, but it is possible that Valteishia is the key to her
transformation as she is KÅ«'s spirit.
In Kaishaku's older work, Steel Angel Kurumi, the
creator of the Steel Angels is a scientist named AyanokÅji, the
same family name as that of Kyoshiro, Setsuna's current master.
Furthermore, near the end of Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora an
army of Steel Angels is introduced to the storyline as Kazuya's
guards.
