Fiction

Lightning Trap: Leina and Laika OVA

Voice actor: Kōichi Yamadera

Zarik discovered the transport of the BIBLE Block military tech onboard a Lightning L808 aircraft flying from Tokyo to Paris, and arranged for himself and three comrades to be onboard. They triggered a bomb to cause chaos, with Zarik personally killing a passenger who made a break for it and then the plane's co-pilot Tamura when he came to investigate. After making the pilot Kotani fly towards the Communist Bloc, where he planned to sell BIBLE for $60m. He then spotted passengers Leina Haruka and Ryo making their way through the cargo bay to the plane's secondary cockpit, and set off to deal with them personally. He donned the BIBLE technology to create a mech to attack them, though they were saved by ICPO agent Laika Strange. She was unable to defeat him, however. Instead Laika sent Leina and Ryo to jettison the cargo pod containing Zarik and BIBLE; his Blue May lieutenant Luna tried to stop them but was killed by an increasingly unstable Zarik, who was then dropped into the Arctic ocean to his doom by Leina.

Notes

• Zarik is clearly based on Velt Zaruk from Leina Stol in Wolf Sword Legend II, having a similar name and character model, a red-haired female devotee he turns on and the same voice actor. As with Leina's classmates, it is not clear if there is some relationship between the two characters or if it's just Ashi putting in an Easter egg (or saving money on character design).
