Orion (Ginga Densetsu Weed: Orion)

Orion is one of the protagonists of Ginga Densetsu WEED: Orion and Ginga: The Last Wars. He is the second oldest son of Weed and Koyuki.

Appearance
Orion is a red Akita Inu/Kishu Inu mix with blue eyes, resembling his uncle Yukimura and great-grandfather Riki.

Personality
Despite being one of Weed's sons, Orion has a selfish attitude and a foul mouth, he even calls Cross an "old hag", to her horror. He is the rudest and loudest of his siblings. However he also looks up to his uncle Joe. Orion may be rude, but he is smart and strong. He is violent and impulsive, he also has a strong sense of justice. He seems to get hot-headed when fighting and Orion was willing wanting to see Masamune die in front of him for Izōu's family, and not for the honour of the Ou army. Orion's behavior is a combination of his own personality and other teachings. His uncle, Joe taught him that he must never surrender in front of the enemy, and Izo taught him that enemy do not deserve pity and they can kill without mercy. Also to the fact that he had inherited Riki's strictness and his uncle's stubbornness.

In the Last Wars, it appears Orion is jealous of his Older and Younger brothers, Sirius and Rigel. He thought that he still acts like a puppy because he believes that he would never gain his father's or grandfather's respect because of how obnoxious he is to the rest of the cast at times.

Trivia

 * It was revealed that Yoshihiro Takahashi wanted to create a different kind of and more fierce main character after very kind-hearted Gin and Weed. Orion is meant to be more like his great-grandfather both in personality and appearance.
 * Despite this, Orion is actually unlike his great-grandfather in personality in that while Riki is actually pretty kind (though not as much as Gin, Weed, and Sirius) and very wise, Orion is hasty and can sometimes be rude, the latter even more often when he was a puppy.
