Gale Raregroove also known as “King” is a major antagonist of the anime/manga series Rave Master. He was the co-founder and first Commander in chief of Demon Card.
He is voiced by Tesshou Genda in the Japanese version, and by Peter Laurie in the English version.
Appearance[]
Gale wears a thin, black cape covering a thick, blue armor underneath. Around the neck of the cape is a silver plate with many lines as designs, reaching to the back of the cape. The cape holds an open large collar exposing most of Gale's neck. Around his arm, he dons what appears to be a vambrace similar to that of the Japanese armor, one on each arm. The thick armor underneath the cape separates at the start of the sleeve and is seen again at the wrist, only with half the armor; leaving half of Gale's arm covered by the shirt he wears under the armor.
Personality[]
Before his family was assassinated, Gale was a happy man and fought for peace alongside Gale Glory. However, after being betrayed by Gale Glory and watching as his family murdered by the imperial army, Gale personality changes for the worst; he becomes more vicious. During battle he keeps calm and does not boast about his abilities. He is confident of the power he holds and does not back down when fighting worthy opponents such as Gale Glory and Haru Glory.
Synopsis[]
Gale Raregroove was born in the Raregroove kingdom, being the heir to the throne. At the end of a war, he and Gale Glory became friends and comrades in arms at an early age; together they formed Demon Card. The goal of their organization was to rid the world of monsters known as demons. The organization grew, with warriors from all over the world joining. But, as time went by, the friends split apart; Gale Glory set sail to find a quiet life. While the other Gale was gone, King (with his new name), wreaked havoc with Demon Card. As the fake Rize said to Gale Glory.
King found a wife and had a young boy named Lucia Raregroove. Gale Glory returned to Demon Card, but not to join them again as King thought, but to stop them. Since Gale could not convince King to disband Demon Card, he brought the Empire into the argument. Gale told the Empire to arrest King only, instead, the soldiers ransacked the Demon Card HQ taking the lives of Emilia Raregroove and supposedly Lucia. Three days later Gale was still sitting at the ransacked HQ, realizing what he had inadvertently caused when a soldier from the empire gave him trouble for remaining among the ashes of Demon Card. King appeared behind the soldier and slashed his back. King, ready to kill Gale, cut a diagonal line across Gale's face. Right when King was about to exact his revenge, Sakura, Gale's wife, showed up and tended to Gale's wounds. King stabbed her in the back and put a dark-bring-in-the-making into Gale's forehead. King left the scene to reform Demon Card.
Dark Bring and Abilities[]
Decalogue: A sword crafted with identical abilities to those of the Ten Commandments by the powerful Dark Bring ceremony, Enclaim. The Decalogue sword possesses an equal amount of power to its twin. However, being crafted with the Dark Brings that are created every year through Enclaim, it is displayed as a dark version of the Ten Commandments.
- Explosion: This sword allows Gale to create moderate sized explosions which are capable of destroying large structures.
- Desperado Bomb: Another attack created by the Explosion sword. While having the Decalogue in its Explosion form, Gale is able to create large explosions allowing him to demolish anything within reach.
- Silfarion: The blade takes the form of a long and thin sword with a swirl at the base of the head. The handle gains a much accessible grip as it connects to the blade; further, the sword grants Gale incredible speed and increases his fast-paced body movements as well as attacks. Gale was able to take on two opponents at the same time with showing any signs of fatigue.
- Blue Crimson: The sword divides into two: one of the blades allows Gale to release a large number of flames at his opponents, the other grants him the ability to ambush his opponents with a quick ice attack.
- Mel Force: The sword takes the form of an average-sized blade with a sharp point. It is adorned with several dots that lead to two wider, and darker, intricate figures towards the bottom. In the center, the sword keeps its Dark Bring engraved and surrounded by the sword's design. At the point of the sword, the sword's name can be read. The handle gains a dark, thick wing-like composition. The sword grants Gale the ability to release heavy vacuum wave attacks at his enemies, also capable of destroying large structures with its mere blow.
Black Zenith: A powerful Dark Bring that releases a dynamic orb capable of erases anything it comes to contact with. Gale swings his hand upward and points his attack towards his desired target, releasing its power in mere seconds. The orb was shown to be able to be created and released quickly, as demonstrated when Gale used it to fight Gale Glory.
Gate: A Dark Bring that takes the form of a small ball with four iron restraints on the sides: encompassing it. As stated by Gale, the Dark Bring allows its users to open gates from different dimensions. Whilst holding the orb up in the air, Gale is able to call summon the Five Palace Guardians.
Monster Prison: This Dark Bring, when activated, transforms Gale into a monster. His appearance changes dramatically; he gains longer legs, his lower body is covered with fur and his skin turns red. The transformation makes its user lose complete control, which can never be regained. This Dark Bring grants its users with immense strength, and defensive properties. However, it lowers the users speed. In this form, Gale is able to release sharp beams that can reach a long distance and destroy anything in its path.
Warp Road: A Dark bring that allows Gale to teleport objects to a different location.
