Lazenby (Rave Master)

Lazenby a character featured within the Japanese anime/manga series Rave Master which is popular to a slightly more than moderate state. Lazenby is a large four armed man that resembles a super hero in appearance due to his overall bulkiness and average super hero mask. Lazenby would be seen as a character that grew relatively through Rave Master as time passes including his title of Lazenby of the White Flame. An ongoing gag in the series is Lazenby is almost constantly constipated due to being drugged with a whole bottle of laxatives. Thus he can almost always be found in a toilet, even during the fight on the Blue Guardians' ship. Another running gag is his ravenous appetite. The other characters (usually Musica or Elie) usually hit him hard enough in the stomache to make him cough up a talking starfish named Bony.

Character History

General Past

The general past of Lazenby is rather vague and is not told about within the storyline. However, Lazenby has served as one of four Imperial guardians under an unknown empire for many years, and has served the ways of justice to a high extent. Unlike the other three members of the Imperial guard class, Lazenby would be the only member left uninformed of the kingdom's fall and the rise of Demon Card as to take it's place. The other three members of the guard class seemed to join up under Oracian Six member Deep Snow simply because they had nothing better to do after the kingdom's fall. Thus, Lazenby assists Deep Snow in an uninformed and delusioned state, but still assists Deep Snow against the Rave Master.

First Conflicts

After Deep Snow, with his new four Imperial guardians sets out to subdue the Rave Master, he would be attacked by sand bandits. This would be the first point in which Lazenby would show his renowned abilities in battle. To these bandits, Lazenby would yell out "The empire is dead!! You have no one to protect!!" Lazenby, along with the help of his allies, would completely wipe out the enemy with his Ultra White Super Fire Cannon MK. II.

After one of the Imperial guardians meets up with the Rave Master and is on the prone of defeat, Lazenby quickly busts out his moves by unleashing his Ultra White Super Fire Cannon Model 0 on Haru; Musica quickly deflects this attack. To the great surprise of Musica, Lazenby's white fire sticks to Musica's silver spear and even burns it; this is a technique that Lazenby likes to call "Bond Fire Bond". After the battle continues, Lazenby unleashes his next ability, the Supra Smashing Gun Handlet Punch which sends both Haru and Musica tumbling back.

Lazenby VS Shuda

After Deep Snow finally shows up himself, the Rave Master and the others are effectively surrounded. Luckily however, Shuda appears to take care of Deep Snow while Haru and the others head to a neighboring cave. Lazenby is the first to throw the punches by spurting the words "Halt, villain! You ally yourself with the arch-fiend master?! Then I shall offer you NO MERCY! Feel my flames of ---". At the pause point, Lazenby is quickly cut through by the valiant Shuda who pierces his white flames with true ease. Lazenby then lies defeated and near death on the ground. Haru would then show his compassion by carrying the wounded Lazenby on his back due to his obvious misinformation; Haru believes that he is a great person, only misdirected.

Future with the Rave Master

Following this point, Lazenby would be a noble follower under the Rave Master who he thought to be a villain. After volume 19, Lazenby would not personally perform any notable tasks until around the time of volume 22. However, during this time period, it would be revealed that he has some fondness towards Elie, and occasionally eats Plue in his sleep unknowingly. Thus, Lazenby would just be seen simply as a side joke until volume 22.

The Dance Contest

After Haru and the others later arrive at a neighboring city after the conflict with Luca, they realize that a special dance contest will be held. Lazenby decides to participate in the dance contest side by side with his "fair lady", Elie. Throughout their training, Lazenby and Elie worked day and night to perform to their greatest level of ability. After some time, Lazenby and Elie decided to name themselves the Rave Stars. After the dance finally begins, Lazenby and Elie both realize that they will be the semi-final dance performance team. While relaxing in a subordinate dance member room, Lazenby finds himself choking after swallowing a cup full of poisoned tea set by Branch - a man not to liked by Haru -- or anyone else. He has diarrhea during the contest due to that.
