He was (or possibly only a part of) the Soul Cannon's final firing that ended both the Vanargand and Shvein Hax. The Fuga manga has revealed that this boy was part of an effort to create artificial humans to pilot Titano-Machina for a "crusade". His name has yet to be properly translated and is currently only addressed as "Jiru".
Biography
Jiru is, currently, described as an artificial human. His color palette is not known due to his only appearances being in grayscale paintings and sketches, though his overall appearance strikes a shocking resemblance to Jeanne's child form. His gloves are patterned with circular shapes which are much like those seen on some Hybrids.
History
Creation
2000 years before the events of Fuga: Melodies of Steel, a group of researchers involved with Belenos and the Taranis had been attempting to create artificial humans. Only very few had managed to stay alive, with the most significant one being Jiru.
Reawakening
In Fuga's true ending, Jeanne seeks an alternative method to firing the Soul Cannon that did not require a sacrifice. She ends up finding Jiru deep within, who appears to have been in a comatose state inside a capsule. Despite her knowing that she'll cease to function without his life in the tank, Jeanne proceeds to use his Bio-Energy to destroy Shvein Hax and the Vanargand.
The Secret Movie in the first title alludes to Jiru managing to survive the cannon and seek revenge upon Malt Marzipan and his crew. This is still subject to change in Fuga 2.
Trivia
- Jeanne's counterpart was sealed away & put into a deep slumber for what was likely centuries, very much like Baion's multi-millennia-long sleep.
