KALL-SU
KA
One of Dark Schneider's former followers and one of the surviving Lords of Havoc directing the war from beyond Meta-llicana. Kall-Su works with Abigail to gather the seals of Anthrasax while other lieutenants fight on the front lines. The six-episode OVA ends before his larger confrontation with Dark Schneider can be resolved.

Open page →Myth: Episode 6 is a complete ending to BASTARD!!
Episode 6 gives the OVA a real climax, but it does not close the larger conflict.
Dark Schneider returns, the Cyclops is destroyed and Abigail is defeated. Kall-Su is still outside the immediate battle, the larger threat around Anthrasax remains, and the manga story continues far beyond what these six episodes adapt.

Why it matters
The OVA works best as a complete 1990s adaptation of one early movement, not as a substitute for the entire BASTARD!! story.

Open page →Gara, Arshes Nei, Kall-Su and Abigail are more useful to the OVA than four unrelated villains would have been.
They all come from the same history, but they respond to Dark Schneider's absence differently. Gara carries wounded loyalty. Arshes is emotionally bound to him while being coerced against him. Abigail treats the old connection as something to manipulate. Kall-Su remains beyond the six-episode ending.

Why it matters
The campaign against Meta-llicana is also a delayed argument over what Dark Schneider's old empire meant to the people who helped build it.
