Hey, MMBN and MMSF fans! What would you think of an afrofuturist hero inspired by MegaMan?
Meet Kairu-Edé, an OC created by me! My name is Darwiz Bagdeve, I’m a Brazilian comic artist and writer. Back in 2021, I published an “Brazilian manga” called Kairu-Edé: Ghost Warrior, heavily inspired by the Battle Network series. So I couldn’t resist sharing it with fellow fans!!
I’m currently working on an English version of the comic and plan to release it soon, would you like to check it out?
The story takes place after a massive cataclysm known as the Big Reset - an event that essentially “rebooted” the world as we know it. In this future, Brazil has been colonized by a foreign nation and is now called the Emblem Nation. Meanwhile, the Northeast region of that country has broken away, forming the Northeastern Union.
But the people of the Union are divided: on one side, those who want to integrate into the Emblem Nation; on the other, those who are willing to fight at any cost to preserve their independence.
Caught in the middle is Kairu, a young student from the Northeast who has loved ones on both sides of the conflict. This makes everything even more complicated for him, because deep down, he just wants to see the best of both worlds coexisting.
That’s when he receives an ancestral calling that awakens supernatural powers within him. Whenever he falls asleep, Kairu ascends to the spiritual realm projecting his spirit beyond his body, taking on a form connected to the power of the Orishas. In this state, he becomes a guardian of Soterópolis: Kairu-Edé Ghost Warrior, protecting his city from astral entities that threaten to destroy the world.
