Spoilers ahead
Two years after the defeat of Galactor and the apparent death of Condor Joe, a cruise ship is ambushed by Leader X, leaving most of the passengers dead or in ruins. Among the few who survive is a young child named Sammy, whose gender is purposefully kept ambiguous. Sammy is captured by X and cruelly aged into the bizarre, androgynous new commander of Galactor, known as Giersadora, who steps in as Berg Katze’s replacement from the first series after his suicide. Though Giersadora carries the outward look of an adult, the character still shows flashes of childish temper and impulsive behavior whenever plans falter, reminding viewers that a child’s perspective lingers beneath the surface.
