About
- Dr. Jackal could be both considered the constant enemy and ally of the Get Backers throughout the series and from the point where he was first introduced managed to keep up with the Get Backers since. He is the man both Ban and Ginji fear for his cold and deadly way of dealing with opponents, while Akabane usually refers to it as “having fun”.
Kuroudo Akabane used to be a real doctor once and is probably also a citizen of Babylon City, just like Kiyoji Kagami. It is yet unknown why he left Babylon City and became a doctor or anything about he actual motives but it is speculated that he was bored and wanted to find someone to test the limit of his abilities – something he doesn’t know of himself.
Akabane is a fearsome opponent and a very unreliable ally. Like Himiko Kudo he works as a Transporter, however he holds it in the way that he is only accepting jobs if they are “fun”, not that he enjoys the job of a Transporter itself. This is why throughout the series he challenges the Get Backers duo frequently.
In his first encounter with Ginji Amano he was defeated because Ginji drew all his 108 scalpels out of his body via magnetism. Upon their second meeting, Akabane reveals that he has changed his weapons into non-magnetic ceramic scalpels, rendering Ginji’s winning strategy completely useless. This also shows that Akabane is a quick learner and manages to grow stronger to keep up with his opponents.
Akabane’s fighting style is difficult to describe but it mainly relies on his usage of the scalpels which he hides in his entire body and actually forms them from his blood. He furthermore relies on his terrifying speed which usually leaves the readers just staring at people being cut to tiny pieces while it appears as if Jackal hasn’t moved at all.
Akabane’s greatest ability however is the usage of his blood itself. Everything that mixes with it becomes his weapon. In a duel with Kiyoji Kagami he was cut up by his Diamon Dust but didn’t die. Instead, the diamond shards mixed with his blood, instantly allowing him to reproduce diamond scalpels to match Kagami’s feat. He later probably also learned to make clones of himself from his blood like Kagami does it with his mirrors, another hint that he can “steal” not only materials but also abilities linked to them.
When he fought Masaki Kurusu, who controls light, his blood dripped on Masaki’s shadow which was created by the light waves Masaki controls, essentially allowing Akabane to assimilate and adapt the light control ability. He could now control “shadow” and extend it at will, use it to bypass defense and attack inner organs or engulf the opponent to rob him of his senses.
Further abilities of Akabane are the manipulation of his scalpels by hurling them directly at the opponent (“Bloody Stream”), making them twirl around him like a tornado (“Bloody Storm”) or throwing them up in the air and letting them rain down on the enemy (“Bloody Rain”). He can also draw out his “Bloody Sword”, a fully extended blade with the same characteristics as his scalpels. He only uses it against “worthy” opponents. He furthermore has used his “Bloody Cross” ability; a cross-like pattern appears on the inside of his hands and rips the opponent apart in four pieces. It is not explained how this works, but it could be telekinetic or magical in nature.
Another considerable feat of Kuroudo Akabane is that he once was cut up so badly by an opponent that he died. Ginji was lamenting about how out of all people he had to find such a death when Akabane suddenly opened his eyes again, facing a stunned Ginji. When asked why he wasn’t dead, Akabane replied that he “has never thought about his dead, therefore he can’t die.” Thus said, he stood up and left.
