Bulge, Schawanheld

シュワンヘルト・バルジ

The captain of the Sirius Platoon. Schwanhelt was appointed captain by Wataru in the first episode, after Wataru sacrificed his life to protect everyone from the invading destroyer. Schwanhelt is a highly capable leader and is often viewed, both literally and figuratively, as a father figure to the other platoon members. He prioritizes the safety and well-being of others over his own and takes his duties seriously. Schwanhelt is a deeply caring leader who even gave up love to protect those he cared about. He is approximately 39 years old or older. (Season 1: Episode 11 - Forget Me not)
In Episode 22, "the merciless wind," Schwanhelt deliberately disobeys the orders of the general from the secret intelligence division, choosing to save crew members instead of repairing Big One. When the situation gets out of control, he ends up punching the general and knocking him unconscious. In the following episode, Schwanhelt is stripped of his title as platoon captain, and the platoon is dissolved, resulting in the members being distributed to other platoons.
In Episode 24, "Blazing Galaxy," the commander of the Galaxy Railways grants Bulge permission to take action, and he is unofficially reinstated as Captain.
