Description
Personality
Balladbird Lee is portrayed as a calm and collected individual who deeply values his friendships, particularly with Bob Poundmax and Harry MacDowell. He possesses a quiet ambition, understanding and supporting Harry's more overt drive for power within Millennion. While outwardly calm, Lee's loyalty to his friends is tested, and his actions reveal a darker side capable of ruthless efficiency to maintain his position and protect those he cares for. His transformation into his Superior form highlights a stark contrast between his usual demeanor and a more volatile, aggressive state. Despite his outwardly calm nature, Lee is shown to be capable of great violence, particularly in his Superior form. His actions, such as secretly eliminating those deemed too weak for Superiorization, reveal a pragmatic and potentially ruthless side to his personality. The conflict between his loyalty and his willingness to commit violence for his friends and ambitions is a key aspect of his character.
Abilities
Balladbird Lee's abilities are primarily defined by his proficiency with senbon (thin needles) and his transformation into a Superior. **As a Human:** Lee displays exceptional skill with his senbon, capable of swiftly incapacitating opponents like Harry MacDowell even while under duress. His precision and speed are remarkable, allowing him to disarm and injure Harry despite being at a disadvantage. **As a Superior:** Lee's transformation drastically alters his physical capabilities. The game depicts him as a bulbous figure with bladed and machine-gun-like legs, capable of incredible speed and destructive power, slicing a train car in half with a single strike. However, this form is vulnerable to omnidirectional attacks. The anime portrays a different Superior form, with four bladed insect-like legs and a human upper body. This version exhibits enhanced speed, allowing him to easily catch up to a moving subway car. He can also fire bladed appendages from his sleeves and detach skeletal protrusions from his feet. Crucially, in his Superior form, he's impervious to standard and anti-Orgmen bullets. His enhanced speed allows him to slice bullets into pieces mid-flight.
