Anso (アンソ, Anso) is a Metamoran. A gifted warrior, she was granted entry to the prestigious Venyi Academy in Age 747. She trained there for twelve years, graduating from Master Sharu-Kan's school in that time. She is a secondary character in Across the Universe.

Overview[]

Appearance[]

Anso is a medium-sized Metamoran. Her build is moderately on the bulky side. She has black eyes. Because Akira Toriyama never described what Metamorans look like, there is nothing else that can said about her appearance. She wears the regular midnight blue training clothes of the Venyi Academy at all times.

Personality[]

Anso is a gentle, caring individual. She is far less aggressive than any other acolyte in the Venyi Academy. When Soba joined, she took an immediate liking to him, for she is attracted to broken people. Soba did not return that love, though she pressed the issue multiple times. At nights in their dormitory, she would sometimes sneak into his bed, for she wanted to fool around with him. Because he did not find her attractive, Soba did not allow her to do anything too slutty. Later, Anso revealed to Soba that her former lover and spurned her for another woman. That had left her isolated and depressed, so she had left her homeworld and come to the academy. She is helpful to Soba throughout the story, sometimes patching up his wounds when Master Hotal isn't available and also sparring with him more than any other acolyte. During the course of Across the Universe, Anso taught Soba the Fusion Dance. The two fused into Ansoba often so that Soba could train in a more intense way than he could on his own. While they were fused, the two exchanged memories, thoughts, and emotions, though they each kept certain things guarded. Anso tried to prod into Soba's psyche often, which may have been her main reason for teaching him the Fusion Dance. She also held some deep, dark secrets that she didn't want him learning about, though Soba never cared to learn about them. While she later admits that she loves Soba, he does not love her, so their relationship remains exclusively platonic.

History[]

Across the Universe[]

In the fourth scene of chapter 2, Soba agreed to join the Venyi Academy. Xutol was most pleased. He told Soba that he would be the fourth active student, which was unusual, as the Venyi Academy usually only had one or two students at any given time.

In the first scene of chapter 3, Soba and Xutol reached the planet the Venyi Academy was located on. Xutol wanted to introduce Soba to the other three students immediately. Soba agreed. Xutol led Soba into a small chamber where Audacci, Rakae, and Anso were lounging. The three students sized him before the teacher asked Audacci to spar with him. She promised not to hold back.

The Hera hit him with a two-footed flying kick, sending him into the wall, shattering several of Soba's ribs. He couldn't get to his feet. As she approached him once more, Anso teleported over to Audacci and advised her to stop the fight. Audacci was offended that someone so weak had been granted admission into the academy. Master Xutol stepped forward, shooting ki ropes at Audacci that wrapped around her body and mouth. Though the girl struggled to break free, she could not. He reminded her that everyone at the academy was a family, that they were not in competition with one another, and that they should not be hostile towards one another.

Anso offered to treat Soba's wounds. Xutol nodded, releasing Audacci from the energy bindings. Soba passed out, waking up some time later as Anso was finishing applying his bandages. She told him he shouldn't fight for a while. She also told him that since Audacci's parents had been space pirates, that was why she acted so wild. Anso promised that both Rakae and herself were much more welcoming towards a new recruit. He got to his feet, preparing to rejoin his classmates, and thanked her for helping him. Anso cautioned him against it, but he said he was fine.

They returned to the sparring chamber. Soba requested a fight with Rakae, who was taken aback, due to the other boy's condition. Xutol let them fight, however, after Soba pressed the issue. Rakae used a dull sparring blade during their fight. He struck Soba in the shoulder with the blade. The Yardrat retaliated with a ki ball that the Konatsian deflected. As he went to swing his blade once more, Soba used Instant Transmission to appear behind him. He punched Rakae in the back of the head. The other boy was impressed by Soba's technique. He increased his speed and attacked again, this time overwhelming Soba with sword strikes. When the Yardrat fell to his knees, Rakae placed the sword's tip against his throat and declared himself the winner.

While Xutol admonished him for being boastful, he nevertheless agreed that Rakae had come out on top. Xutol declared Soba's sparring time over. He asked Rakae to direct the Yardrat to Master Levion's location. Rakae was not pleased, as he had wanted to fight Audacci, but Xutol told him that that was Anso's task.

In the second scene, the acolytes were sleeping in their dormitory. Anso rolled onto Soba's bed and began to rub her hands against his skin. Nervously, Soba got up and noticed that Audacci's bed was empty. His attention turning fully towards her, and sensing her ki signature, he teleported over to her. Later, Soba teleported back to the dormitory. He did not like that Anso was still in his bed. He fell onto his pillow face-first and pushed the Metamoran back onto her bed before falling asleep.

In the third scene, Soba continued his training over the next few months. He noticed that he was still far behind his peers, for Rakae and Anso held back when sparring with him and Audacci had been forbidden from fighting him. He grew disheartened at his lack of progress.

In the fourth scene, Soba awoke in the middle of the night. He walked up a flight of stairs to a balcony, where he gazed upon the stars. He fired a ki blast into the sky, thinking of Udon. He wondered if Udon still hated him. Briefly, he considered teleporting back to Yardrat to find him before thinking better of it.

Anso appeared behind him just then. She told him that he should get back to sleep if he wanted to have a good training session in the morning. Soba didn't know why he should bother, as he wasn't getting strong enough to contend with the other acolytes. They sat down. Anso told Soba about Metamoran culture, about how they sought to unify with their peers. A lone Metamoran was useless, for they could not fuse with anyone in that case. Anso admitted that she had left her homeworld and come to Venyi after her boyfriend had gone off with another girl, leaving her as an incomplete half. She said she had sensed the same forlorn feeling in Soba when he had come to the academy, and thus she had tried to look out for him because of that.

She told him she loved him. Then, she stood and demonstrated the Fusion Dance to him, noting that if they performed it, their fused form could train harder, which would make Soba's power level rise much faster than before. The Yardrat got to his feet and performed the dance with her. The two fused into a being known as Ansoba. Then, they teleported to a far-distant planet, a desolate world with high gravity, and began training there in earnest.

While they trained, he felt Anso prodding at his memories. He held her back, sensing that she was also hiding some deep, dark secret (not that he wanted to look into it). Soba hid his feelings towards Audacci from Anso, as well as what he had done to Udon. Once they finished their training, they defused and Soba teleported them back to the academy.

In the fifth scene, Soba found Rakae cleaning his sword under an old, gnarled tree. He told the Konatsian that he had just finished sparring with Anso. She had really done a number on him, which made Rakae laugh. He told Soba that Anso had joined after he and Audacci had, so they were stronger than her. She also hadn't mastered any of the masters' teachings yet.

In the sixth scene, Audacci thought to herself that it had taken her four years to master her first school - Xutol's. She believed that his school was the easiest to master. She noted that neither Rakae, nor Anso, nor Soba had trained at that school yet. She considered Rakae to be her only threat (though she was far stronger than any of them) due to him mastering two schools, while the others had only mastered one in that time. She was growing annoyed at Rakae for getting close to mastering Sharu-Kan's school. She changed her focus to Sharu-Kan's school as well, for Anso had mastered it, and she knew that she was far superior to Anso.

In the seventh scene, deeply saddened by Rakae's death, Soba returned to the students' dormitory. He found Anso in there. She asked him what was the matter. He wanted to fuse into Ansoba so that he wouldn't be preoccupied by his thoughts any longer. They did so. Ansoba fell onto the floor. Inside their mind, Anso and Soba began going over Soba's newfound emotions of guilt and sorrow. While in Ansoba, Soba realized that Anso loved him because he was a broken being. He thought that she would fall out of love with him the moment he was no longer broken or the moment someone more broken came along.

Anso perceived that Soba had accessed that part of her mind. They defused. Anso explained that that was how Metamorans loved. She thought that Soba loved in the same way, and he knew she was right. Soba, remembering an old lecture Udon had given him about Metamoran parasitism, realized that Anso was manipulating him. He had grown sick of being manipulated. He realized he needed to go see Udon again and make amends. He apologized and said farewell to Anso. Before he teleported away, he told her that Audacci had killed Rakae. Then, he teleported away.

In the eighth scene, Anso went to see Master Jabo to inform him of Rakae's death. As she approached his chambers, Audacci attacked her. Anso dodged. Then, the Hera landed. She lamented the fact that Soba had told Anso of Rakae's death, for now Anso would have to die. She told Anso that she should have gone with Soba. Audacci killed Anso before she could tell anyone about Rakae.
