Baine, Donovan

Donovan appeared in the Night Warriors anime OVA as a wandering bounty hunter, frequently struggling with both his human and demonic natures. Most of the narrative is told from Donovan's point of view, effectively positioning him as the protagonist. Anita travels with him, mirroring her role in the games. However, the storyline is more condensed to fit the anime's shorter runtime. Donovan severs the head of Anita's doll to provoke her rage. At one moment, he accepts a fatal injury, only to be rescued by Hsien-Ko and her sister, Mei-Ling. Upon learning of the sister's tragic history and recognizing their grim future, Anita begins to weep. Donovan then remarks that she is nearly whole; all that remains is for her to awaken her happiness.
