Dordo
Dordo (ドルド, Dorudo) est un antagoniste majeur figurant dans Baoh le Visiteur. C'est l'un des assassins à la solde de l'Organisation Dress qui va se battre contre Ikuro Hashizawa. Il a le rang de Lieutenant-Colonel (中佐, chūsa).
Apparence
Dordo est un homme adulte avec une face allongée, des sourcils épais mais un regard sournois et des cils notables. L'OAV lui donne un air plus mature et viril avec des pommettes saillantes et une carrure plus musclée. Dordo a de longs cheveux noirs attachée en queue de cheval.
Dans le manga, Dordo apparait vêtu d'un costume deux pièces avec un noeud papillon. Plus tard il revêt aussi une cape sombre avec un chapeau à large visière. Dans l'OAV, il porte un uniforme militaire ample avec un gilet pare-balle.
On révèle que Dordo est en fait un cyborg dont le côté droit du corps a été remplacé par un corps en métallique, dont le côté droit de son visage. Il conserve son apparence de cyborg après qu'elle soit révélée.
Personnalité
Dordo est un assassin sournois qui se spécialise dans des tactiques déloyales pour vaincre ses adversaires.
Dordo n'a aucun scrupule et préfère se donner un avantage injuste au combat. Contrairement à tous les assassins précédents qui ont affronté ouvertement Ikuro Hashizawa, Dordo a soigneusement préparé sa tentative d'assassinat. Il a notamment été prévenu des pouvoirs de prédiction de Sumire et a frappé quand elle était fatiguée. Dordo a ainsi voulu utiliser le vieil homme qui avait invité Ikuro et Sumire chez lui en l'hypnotisant pour qu'il tue ses invités pour lui et lorsque cela a échoué, il a utilisé des chauves-souris spéciales pour neutraliser les sens de Baoh et tenter de lui injecter du poison dans les veines. Cependant, lorsque cette tentative échoue également et que Dordo est contraint d'affronter Baoh en combat à la loyale, sa confiance s'effondre et il révèle sa lâcheté. Il s'enfuit et prend Sumire en otage afin de l'utiliser comme appât plus tard. Dordo fait preuve d'une grande confiance en ses capacités de tireur d'élite, qui sont renforcées par ses parties cybernétiques.
Humilié lorsqu'il revient à Dress parce qu'il n'a capturé que Sumire, Dordo succombe à la rage et décide d'aller sniper Ikuro seul. Non seulement il échoue, mais il est exécuté par Walken pour sa désobéissance.
OAV
Dans l'OAV, Dordo a plus l'attitude d'un soldat vétéran et professionnel. Son rôle devient plus celui d'un officier de terrain pour Dress qui sait conduire des opérations paramilitaires. Il exécute loyalement les ordres du Dr. Kasuminome. A l'instar de sa version originale, Dordo confronte ici Baoh de face, montrant qu'il est plutôt brave. Il confronte aussi un chien-Baoh, lui tirant dans la tête sans sourciller bien que le chien se jette sur lui. Il est cependant assez pragmatique et prend encore Sumire en otage.
Pouvoirs et Compétences
Corps de Cyborg
After surviving an explosion, Dordo's right side has been replaced with mechanical parts. Thus, he is a cyborg assassin who uses a variety of tools to kill his targets. His metal body makes him more resistant to damage than the average human, allowing him to withstand Baoh's Bee-stinger which melted the fake skin of his face but left his metal frame undamaged. While Baoh was able to sever his metal right hand, Dordo could also still remotely control it, which helped him take Sumire hostage.
During his introduction, Dordo's right hand contains a hypnosis device that helps him brainwash an old man and make him shoot Baoh at the time of his choosing. The fist also contains four small pistols which fire from each of his knuckles. Finally, there is an explosive hidden in his hand which can serve as a makeshift grenade.
His right hand is detachable and he is able to replace it with a sniper rifle that connects to his right eye in order to make him aim better. However, Dordo shows great confidence in his natural sniping abilities too.
A folded hang glider is hidden in his back and can be deployed so that Dordo can flee. The OVA adds a jetpack to explain how he can propel himself.
Aroma Bats
Dordo uses special bats that release a special aroma tailored against Baohs. The aroma neutralizes the extrasensory organ of the Baoh and leaves them unable to feel from where the next attack is coming from. Dordo controls them through a special ultrasonic emitter that's also installed in his right hand.
Histoire
Passé
Dordo is an assassin working for the Dress Organization. He claims to have killed 2,500 people.[1] After surviving an explosion, Dordo's body was partially replaced with mechanical parts, making him a cyborg.[2]
Baoh the Visitor
After Ikuro Hashizawa and Sumire escape from Dress, Dordo is deployed to assassinate the boy. He first acts when Ikuro and Sumire go to the mountains and take shelter at an old couple's house. Dordo waits for the moment Sumire falls asleep to prevent her precognition from warning her, and secretly hypnotizes the old man. He then instructs him to wait for midnight and then shoot Ikuro in the head with his shotgun. Until then, Dordo watches the house.
At midnight, the old man tries to shoot Ikuro but the latter turns into Baoh and survives the shot. This plan fails so Dordo deploys his "aroma bats", which deprive Baoh of his senses. When the old man (who has come to his senses) and Sumire barge out of the house, Dordo claims that Ikuro and Sumire are infected with a virus, using Baoh's monstrous appearance as a proof, and that he must neutralize them for everyone's safety. The old man doesn't buy the story as Ikuro and Sumire are his guests, and shoots the syringe of poison Dordo planned to use on Ikuro. In retaliation, Dordo shoots the old man in the stomach with a gun hidden in his hand. The old man then shoots down the aroma bats, freeing Baoh.
Baoh seemingly makes short work of him but it is revealed that Dordo's entire right side is mechanized, meaning he was able to shrug off the worst of Baoh's attack before being thrown into a tree. His mechanical hand was severed but he is able to remotely pilot it and takes Sumire hostage before fleeing back to Dress' laboratory with Sumire, planning to use her as a bait.
At the Dress facility, Dr. Kasuminome chastises him for his failure to kill Baoh and his colleagues mock him too. Angered, Dordo leaves alone with a sniper rifle and tries to shoot Ikuro from the top of a building. However, Ikuro has learned to master his powers a bit. The boy senses the bullet coming for him and shields himself before it's too late. Dordo must return to Dress, and Dr. Kasuminome has him executed by Walken for insubordination. Walken psychically forces the atoms of Dordo's body to shake and turns Dordo to dust.
OVA
In the OVA, Dordo appears earlier in the timeline, supervising Kasuminome's demonstration of the Baoh to the Masked Men. He shoots the Baoh-infected dog that was used as a demonstration in the head, allowing his team to kill it for good. Walken divines Ikuro's location and Dordo leaves with a squad of soldier. The soldiers fight Ikuro in an abandoned building but are massacred. Dordo takes Sumire hostage and shrugs off Baoh's bee-stingers thanks to his cyborg body. He flees with a deltaplane, taking Sumire with him to use her as bait. When Ikuro comes and scales a cliff to reach the Dress facility, Dordo tries to kill him with a sniper rifle. However, Ikuro uses the Dark Thunder Phenomenon to send the explosive bullet back at Dordo, which destroys his helicopter and kills him.
