Born into one of Sidonia's most distinguished families, Norio Kunato established himself as a formidable Garde pilot with a relentless drive to dominate. The unexpected rise of Nagate Tanikaze ignited a fierce rivalry that consumed his pride. However, the second season unveils a far darker turn: the scientist Ochiai seizes control of his body as a living vessel, transforming him into a cold and methodical puppet master. Concealed behind the Kunato family's noble facade, he orchestrates the clandestine creation of the Ena hybrid Tsumugi Shiraui—a scheme that quietly threatens the very survival of Sidonia.
