Personality

Rukias 1

Because he had often heard stories about the Brave Guard since childhood, he admired the Brave Guard and considered Merklich as his rival, competed with him, and vowed to surpass him.

Therefore, he was disappointed to learn that Merklich was not as strong as he thought.

But, as Merklich regained his strength, Rukias was once again considered him as “a wall that cannot be overcome”.

Rukias smiled when he saw Merklich fighting in the arena and was excited. He is good at housework in general, and Yurry mutters, “isn’t it the lifeline of the party?”.

Background

Rukias was born in 大地の里 “Daichi no Sato” (Land Village).

It had been destroyed by Monopolis five years ago, and after that, he lived in Leystan with a surviving old man.

The reason he really wanted to be stronger was because he couldn’t protect his childhood friend, Lera.

When they are attacked by a horde of monsters, Rukias manages to survive, but Lera is tragically killed.

Growlanser VI Precarious world

Rukias’ first encounter with Merklich was east of the Zaramba town on the Goatland continent. At that time, Rukias was involved in a battle between the Monopolis army against the resistance and ended up receiving an item from a Monopolis soldier.

When he saw Merklich, Rukias immediately suspected that Merklich was a Brave Guard. However, after Merklich did not respond to his question, Rukias did not ask further. Then, Rukias joins Merklich to head to a nearby town.

When history changed for the first time, Rukias also noticed the strangeness but Wendy asked him not to tell anyone and Rukias agreed because he didn’t want to be seen as weird.

When the party boarded the ship heading for the northern area of Cyriltia, Rukias revealed that one of the goals of the trip was to find someone. When they are attacked by resistance soldiers east of Totuwa Village, Rukias is shocked to see 大地の巫女 “Daichi no Miko” (Land Shrine Maiden) with the resistance soldiers.

After learning that the changing history was the work of the Monopolis, Rukias helps Merklich in preventing Shuweizer‘s actions.

When the party returns to the Esgrenz continent, Rukias reveals that another purpose he came to this continent is to find the Dragon Orb and invites Merklich to meet an oldman who is also a survivor of Daichi no Sato. While spending the night at the inn, there is event where it is heard that Rukias is having nightmares about Lera.

In the action with Hofman for the first time, Rukias asked how Hofman could grow big and strong. Rukias seemed to understand when Hofman explained about his competitive relationship with his brother and finally Rukias became more enthusiastic about continuing to train himself.

After the party saves Iristelessa from Shuweizer’s attack, Rukias asks why Iristelessa disappeared from Daichi no Sato and joins the resistance. At the resistance’s secret base, Rukias says that he is relieved to learn that Daichi no Miko had not abandoned Daichi no Sato.

After the attack on the resistance’s secret base, the party fled to Shizaz. There, Rukias recounts his past when Lera was killed which was the reason he wanted to become strong.

After the party takes Anita out of the Lennocks research center, Anita explains the reason why Rukias was able to go to the past and retain his memories like Merklich and Wendy was because he brought an item given by the Monopolis soldier back then.

After the event on the black market in Royferon, Yurry explains that it is possible to save Lera in the past, but Rukias hesitates and says that he is amazed that Merklich has no doubts about what he is doing. After Hingistan revolution, Rukias expressed his admiration for Merklich’s leadership and ability to make the impossible possible. And he says that Merklich’s way of life is dazzling to him.

In the break time before heading to the final dungeon, Rukias asks Merklich to accompany him to the past to save Lera. After successfully saving Lera, Rukias looks refreshed.

Growlanser V Generations

Rukias does not appear in the main game of Growlanser V Generations. However, in Growlanser VI he returned to the past to Growlanser V’s timeline.

He helped Merklich work on the behind-the-scenes action that unraveled the mysteries of Growlanser V. One of them is the event after Zeonsilt fainted when the Warslee village was attacked by Screapers. They managed to prevent Shuweizer from killing Zeonsilt while he was unconscious.

Rukias in Past

It also showed what happened to Rasche at that time which was not shown in the previous work.

They were also working behind the scenes while Zeonsilt and his comrades were battling the Queen Screaper.

They used the way Zeakvalt would use if he had fought the Queen Screaper.

It turns out that if they weren’t involved in this, Zeonsilt and his comrades wouldn’t have succeeded in defeating the Queen Screaper.

Drama CD

In Growlanser VI Drama CD, Rukias behaves same with the one seen in the main game. However, because the content of the drama cd is comedy, he plays some different roles, one of interesting ones is the scene where Rukias is asked by Merklich to say “Onii-chan”. Since Rukias is voiced by the same voice actor as Ruise‘s, he reproduces Ruise’s voice when she says “Onii-chan” perfectly.
