Great Britain  

007, グレート・ブリテン

In the early 21st century, Great Britain, whose true identity remains unknown, originated from the United Kingdom. He was a renowned and talented stage actor known for his extensive knowledge of popular productions. During the 2001 television series, Great Britain developed feelings for an actress named Sophie who co-starred with him onstage. As time passed, however, he became increasingly famous and gradually disregarded his former love. Financial difficulties continued to arise, ultimately reducing the once celebrated thespian to a life of poverty and desperation. Black Ghost agents noticed Great Britain's plight and easily lured him into their vehicle with an alcoholic beverage. After escaping with other cyborgs, he returned to his homeland in the United Kingdom where he discovered that Sophie had given birth to a daughter named Rosa. The possibility of her being his child left Great Britain yearning for connection but ultimately met with rejection and scorn due to his past actions (Rosa believed him to have betrayed Sophie). 007, one of the second generation cyborgs, possesses an extraordinary ability to reshape his cellular structure at will. This allows him to transform into any object, creature, or person he desires. With his exceptional acting skills, 007 can also blend in with enemy forces and employ cunning tactics and attacks. Although he is the oldest of the second generation cyborgs, being in his late 40s when kidnapped, 007 maintains a lighthearted personality and is known for his amiable nature. A recurring gag throughout the series involves Great Britain taking on the form of an overly precocious child, often fearful for his own safety amidst his fellow cyborgs even during combat. In the 1960s anime versions, he is depicted as a child rather than an adult in order to appeal to a younger audience. This decision was initially disapproved of by Ishinomori but later temporarily mirrored in the manga version when Gilmore altered 007's body to make the child form his standard appearance, further linking him to Ian Fleming's famous British spy character James Bond.
