Sousuke Sagara, formerly known as Kashim, is the protagonist of the light novel Full Metal Panic!! and its various adaptations. He is a former mujahdeen, Mithril oprative, Special Response Team (SRT) Arm Slave specialist of the Western Pacific Battle Group "Tuatha de Danaan", and the personal bodyguard of Kaname Chidori. Although Sousuke has been tasked with blending in as a civilian, he struggles to do so thanks to his lack of social skills and having little life experience outside the battlefield.
Having lost his parents in a plane crash, Sousuke was found by then Spetsnaz officer Andrey Kalinin and inducted into a KGB training program for child soldiers. When he was approximately 8 years old he was deployed in Afganistan during the Soviet-Afgan War but was ultamitely adopted by General Majhid, one of the men he was meant to assassinate. He'd be eventually captured by Kalinin's forces. Upon learning the effects the KGB training had, Kalinin deserted the Soviet army and helped Sousuke to escape and flee the country, though the two were seperated once again in Combodia. Sousuke became a mercenary shortly after and was subsequently recruited into Mithril and reunited with Kalinin again.
As a member of Mithril, Sousuke was tasked to protect Kaname Chidori, a highschool girl and a "Whispered", a person that has technologically advanced knowledge in their subconscious and are desired by numerous organizations to be used for their own use. Though he found it difficult to adjust to highschool life, Kaname did her best to help him fit in. Despite being initially unaware of Sousuke's intentions and her own status as a Whispered, she eventually found of both after she was kidnapped by Sousuke's old KGB unit. After protecting Kaname from numerous goverment and terrorist organizations, Sousuke retires from Mithril to live an ordinary life with Kaname.
Battle vs. Gundam Epyon (by FilBox101)[]
TBW
Winner: Gundam Epyon
Expert Opinion[]
Zechs has fully mastered the Epyon system, and this system allows him to predict his opponent's moves and full arsenal. The Epyon is also made up of stronger and more durable materials, faster, and once it gets up close, the Arbalest doesn't stand a chance. Arbalest may be driven by a better and more experienced pilot, but the Epyon is just more advanced through and through.
