Main Name Atomsk (ch10127)
Alias Kaizoku-O, Pirate King, 海賊王
Atomsk, also known as the "Pirate King" (海賊王 Kaizoku-Ou), is an enigmatic character, apparently the most powerful "space pirate" in the galaxy. His N.O. is great enough to steal entire solar systems. His physical appearance is that of a bird-like creature resembling a phoenix. He has a nose ring identical to the metal Ring on Haruko's bracelet, which allows her to detect Atomsk's presence or the activation of N.O. in general. The director's commentary explains that this is a remnant from the original story, in which Haruko was a space officer and Atomsk was her prisoner with whom she fell in love. They scrapped the idea but kept the bracelet, and a few discreet references to Haruko's past.

Amarao portrays him inaccurately, imagining Atomsk's appearance as a humanoid male figure with fiery red hair when he describes him to Naota. In an interview, the director clarifies that Atomsk's true form is indeed that of the bird, and Amarao's mental image was of a man because he believed that Atomsk and Haruko were lovers, which was later exposed to be false; Amarao looks very surprised when he sees Atomsk's true form. It is the desire to obtain him and gain his power for herself that drives Haruko to constantly follow Atomsk, regardless of the damage she causes along the way. Atomsk's bass guitar is a 1961 Gibson EB-0.

Although Atomsk manifest himself physically only at the end, he takes active part in the plot, mainly by controlling Canti. In some way he is a symbol of an absolute masculinity in the series.

Red Canti
Canti, when an enemy is sited, loses control of himself and turns red. In this mode he is the opposite of his normal shy and obedient self - a true fighter. In addition, though he can fight on his own, he needs a "pilot", that must literally be eaten to assume his position in the "cockpit".

Only in this form he can transform in a cannon.

There are some strong hints in the plot, that Canti is being controlled by Atomsk. Actually, this state is his original, that was "cut off" by Haruko when hit on the head.

Later on revealed that Cannon-form uses the pilot as the ammunition for shooting. This is a joke-reply by GAINAX to the Xenogears game by Square, which was heavily influenced by NGE and where one of the strongest attacks was shooting the pilot as a bullet from the transformed mecha.

Possibly, only with N.O.-capable pilot Canti gains the ability to open N.O. channel to transport matter (Atomsk's guitar and later himself).

Canti
  • Info
  • Names
Main Name Canti (ch10207)
Official Name en
Official Name ja
Canti is a robot with what looks like a television set for a head. After having his head broken by Haruko, he is recruited by her as an assistant; however, he proves to be no good for much other than washing dishes and fetching drinks for the family.

He was manufactured by Medical Mechanica, but taken over by Atomsk as a way to escape them. Atomsk can manifest through Canti, with Naota being the catalyst. Atomsk's symbol appears on Canti's screen when he absorbs Naota; the symbol is a corruption of the kanji characters for "adult" (大人). This symbol also appears on him when Naota "swings the bat" in Full Swing. The symbol that appears when Canti is absorbed by the terminal core in FLCLimax is similar, but he uses the characters for "child" (小人) instead. When Naota is absorbed, Canti's physical strength is increased and he gains the ability to transform into a canon, that utilizes pilot as a munition.


The emotions of Canti are very human-like, despite his looks. He is embarrassed about his broken head (where Haruko hit him) and is looking for the pieces to glue back together in episode two. He wears the box on the back of his head for the same reason. Canti seems to like porn, as he was reading it in the 7-11. It is also stated in the novel, that Canti spends 3 hours at a time looking through 'perverted magazines.' He is also extremely polite, extending a helping hand to Lieutenant Kitsurubami even after she attempted to destroy him.

Canti also dons a halo and fake wings which Haruko puts on him earlier in the episode. Mamimi is convinced that Canti is an angel. She calls him "Canti-sama" after "The Lord of Black Flames" in a video game she plays. The rest of the cast call him by this title throughout the rest of the series.
