Media Magician (メディア魔術師 Media Majutsushi, 33):
History[]
End of Media Magician
A Gorma in the service of Lieutenant Colonel Gara, he posed as a photographer named Shoichiro Takamura (高村翔一郎 Takamura Shōichirō). He was supposed to steal Rin's soul while she was vainly letting him take millions of photographs of her. But when he found out she did so really because she loved him, he went on a pinwheel of shock, for he fell in love with her. He saved her from himself, and then was mortally injured protecting her from an energy blast from Gara's sword. In his final words to Rin before he died, he said that he wished to be reborn as a human, so he could see her smiling face once again. In spite of his death, Gara used his lifeless body as a puppet by using an Growth Bomb on it, resurrecting it as a mindless puppet now armed with a sword. The battle went on into sunset with it trying to cleave apart Dairen'Oh but it's mindless state allowed them to flip it over using it's Great Lord Sword and destroy it with it's Raging Hurricane Waves, making it explode into sparkles as Rin expressed regret for everything.
