Description
Personality
Banka's personality is largely defined by his actions rather than explicit characterization. He displays a pragmatic and ruthless efficiency, readily eliminating Management, a fellow operative, without hesitation. This suggests a cold and calculating nature, prioritizing the mission above personal attachments. His laughter at Kakine Teitoku's use of wings hints at a detached amusement or perhaps a sense of superiority. His later sickness and trauma stemming from his fight with Kakine suggest a vulnerability beneath his outwardly stoic demeanor.
