Orga Itsuka (オルガ・イツカ?) is the deuteragonist of Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS.

Personality & Character[]

Being from an impoverished Martian background, he has a strong upward mobility and a romantic side that dreams of moving toward "our true place in the world". He cared deeply for his comrades, considering them all to be a family rather than a group of mercenaries.

He has a keen insight and is especially quick-witted among the boy soldiers, with an ability to decipher the grammar and truth in every word he says. He is also a man of a certain stature in order to lead his friends, and at times he is willing to risk his own life in order to protect his friends. However, his ability as a strategist is not as good as it could be, as he often puts immediate profit and the feelings of the group members first and is unable to make big-picture decisions.

Orga was particularly close to Mikazuki, dating back to their childhood. Their brotherly bond became even stronger than any of the other members, and understands him more deeply than anyone else and trusts his character and principles.

Skills & Abilities[]

He is a leader of the group and strives to live up to the trust of those around him, and on the battlefield, he shares the risk by going to the front lines and taking command himself (although he himself has received the Alaya-Vijnana system, he basically sits in a double-seated mobile worker and often devotes himself to battle command).

Despite having a rough childhood and never attending school, he was surprisingly fully capable of reading and writing, and more impressively, in two languages, unlike most children of his circumstances. He loathed sitting at a desk and doing paperwork but was very capable of doing so when required.

History[]

Background[]

Orga and Mikazuki joined CGS at the same time, receiving the Alaya-Vijnana treatment without anesthesia. Orga was punched for not crying during the procedure, though he reminisces that he would have been punched for crying anyway.

P.D. 323[]

He is the captain of the "Third Army Division," an irregular unit of juvenile soldiers in the private Martian security company "Chryse Guard Security." Orga is not happy with the adults in CGS who mistreat him, and in order to break out of this situation, he takes advantage of Gjallarhorn's attack on CGS to trap the regular CGS troops who escaped, and then activates the ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos, which was diverted as a power supply facility in the basement of the CGS headquarters to defeat Gjallarhorn. After that, he staged a coup d'etat within the CGS and reorganized the organization into the "Tekkadan," and led them on a journey to Earth with a group to complete a request to escort Kudelia Aina Bernstein, which the CGS had accepted.

After the establishment of Tekkadan, he overcame the pursuit by Gjallarhorn and went into space, but he was lost in financial difficulties and the search for a guide to Earth. He then proposed that the group rely on the Jupiter sphere conglomerate "Teiwaz," and at this point, the group formed an alliance with a subordinate organization of Teiwaz, the "Turbines," and was recognized by Naze Turbine, the head of the Turbines, for his abilities, and with his introduction, the group was brought under the Teiwaz's umbrella and he and Naze exchanged a sake cup as "brothers".

Following the encounters with the "Brewers," and going through the upheaval at Dort Colony, he landed on Earth and met with Togonosuke Makanai, with whom Kudelia was to have a meeting, even though they were now openly hostile to Gjallarhorn. However, the situation did not end there, and he was asked to deliver Makanai to Edmonton.

However, at the same time, he fell into an argument with Biscuit Griffon, who disagreed with his own aspirations for advancement, and before they could officially reconcile, Biscuit was fatally wounded in a battle with Carta Issue. This causes a great trauma in his heart, but with the help of Mikazuki's rough treatment, he rises again and strives to defeat Gjallarhorn and accomplish his own tasks. However, his appearance changes into a more dangerous one in which he loses the margin of hesitation due to the loss of his emotional support in Biscuit. However, even in such a posture, his wish for his comrades to live in battle remains strong, and when he completes his request to deliver Makanai and Kudelia to the Arbrau parliamentary convention, he orders his comrades fighting on the front lines to "live," while he himself watches Mikazuki's battle.

After that, he exchanged a cup of sake with McMurdo Barriston, the representative of Teiwaz, with the half-metal concession he had obtained from Arbrau, and officially made Tekkadan a direct affiliate of Teiwaz, expanding its organization. At the same time, the Tekkadan began to break away from the practices of the CGS era by entering the agricultural industry through a tie-up with Sakura Pretzel's "Sakura Farm," and by prohibiting the use of the Alaya-Vijnana to new members, thereby establishing a foothold for future business modifications.

P.D. 325[]

When the Tekkadan Earth branch was involved in a dispute between the SAU and Arbrau, he sent an elite unit led by Mikazuki and others to Earth to settle the situation. Later, in a secret meeting with McGillis, he is assured that he will be given all rights to the Mars branch when he seizes full control of Gjallarhorn. He himself accepts McGillis' invitation, believing that this will lead to Kudelia's goals and the stability of the group, but since the secret talks were held without going through Teiwaz, it causes discord between him and Teiwaz's upper echelons.

Although he was able to bring results to McMurdo in the battle with the Hashmal a mobile armor excavated on Mars, the uproar caused him to leave the sake cup he had exchanged with McMurdo with him. On the other hand, Mikazuki's willingness to fight for Orga even though he had to pay some price for each fierce battle, and the destruction of the Turbines, further intensified the pressure he felt, and he left Teiwaz to fight a battle of mourning for the Turbines, defeating Jasley Donomikols.

After the battle with Arianrhod Fleet, Tekkadan retreated back to Mars. As Orga and the other members are formulating a plan to ensure Tekkadan's survival by going to Earth to fake their identity register, their base is surrounded by a massive battalion of Gjallarhorn Mobile Suits. McGillis launched in Gundam Bael to distract the enemy, while Orga, Chad Chadan and Ride Mass sneaked out of the base in a car to Admoss Company. There, they received news that Azee Gurumin and Eco Turbine are willing to take them to Earth, and Takaki Uno, who is on Earth, is ready to help them manipulate the register. As they walked out of the office, a car stopped nearby and three hitmen inside the car showered them with gunfire. Protecting Ride, Orga took a number of shots to his back, but despite his injuries, he managed to return fire and shot one of the hitmen with the handgun he borrowed from Mikazuki. Bleeding profusely, he tries to walk it off while remarking about Tekkadan's future and as he got weaker from the massive blood loss, he fell to the ground dead. His death was later reported to the rest of Tekkadan by Ride.

Even after his own death, his words would greatly move the members of the group.

Relationships[]

Mikazuki Augus

He and Orga have known each other from a very young age. They have an incredible loyalty to each other, each motivating the other to reach their full potential. Mikazuki obeys without question any order or plan Orga issues. Their deep trust allows them to cover each others' backs and is their greatest strength. Mikazuki's loyalty and protectiveness for Orga are so strong that he is willing to sacrifice his body and potentially his life to see Orga's goal through. Sometimes, Orga feels like he cannot let Mikazuki's expectations down because he can see it in his eyes every time he looks at him. Even when he was depressed over Biscuit's death, Mikazuki was able to drive him back up, promising to fulfill their dream of finding their place.

During the battle against the mobile armor Hashmal, Mikazuki disagrees with Orga's plan to launch in his STH-16/tc2 Orga's Shiden‎‎ so as to not take even the slightest chance of letting harm come to Orga. When Orga shows concern that Mikazuki may lose his life or use of more limbs due to the Alaya-Vijnana System, Mikazuki claims that his life was given to him by Orga, and that he needs to use his all for Orga.

Biscuit Griffon

They know each other from childhood and Biscuit serves him like a staff officer. Orga trusts and respects this is evident from the fact that whenever Orga wants to make a big strategic or policy decision for the future, he discusses it with Biscuit first before announcing it to the rest of Tekkadan. Additionally, Orga mentioned that despite having reservations, Biscuit never protested whenever Orga proposed something reckless throughout the years. However, Biscuit argued that he did, but eventually only forced to go along with it, as Orga was so passionate that he wouldn't listen. Biscuit's death caused Orga severe self-doubt, but he soon recovered with help from Mikazuki. After that, Biscuit's death became the rallying point for Tekkadan to finish their mission on Earth.

Akihiro Altland

They would know each other from working in the CGS Third Group together, with Orga leading the group as a whole while Akihiro lead the Human Debris within the group. Despite Akihiro's misgivings, Orga treated him as a human being, frequently reinforcing the fact that he did not see Akihiro's background as a reason for him to be less than human when Tekkadan was founded on the principle of taking control of their own future. This would earn Akihiro's loyalty and respect. In Akihiro's own words, Orga gave him and the others a purpose when they were but walking corpses.

Ride Mass

Ride looked up to Orga immensely. He would design Tekkadan's emblem upon Orga's request. He managed to surprise Orga by saving sweets and snacks for the younger boys, getting embarrassed when Orga tussled his hair in amusement. Ride became distraught when Orga used his own body to shield him during the attack by Nobliss' men. Eventually, Ride avenged Orga's death and assassinated Nobliss Gordon using Mikazuki's gun, the weapon Orga had in his possession at the time of his death.

Merribit Stapleton

Merribit first saw Orga and his comrades when they were celebrating at Pub Someday, she was told by a bartender that they were a "rowdy bunch from Mars". While they were out eating and drinking to celebrate their success, Orga encouraged them not to hesitate to enjoy themselves. When Orga made a toast and proclaimed that they would party all night, Merribit smiled. However, it soon turned out Orga could not handle his alcohol and Merribit saw Mikazuki holding him while he coughed. She kindly offered Orga a handkerchief and told him that if he wanted to be an adult, he had to learn how to deal with many things, Orga accepted her gift although he said "it smells like a woman".[1]

Sometime afterwards, Naze Turbine told Orga that there would be an overseer from Teiwaz on the Isabiri from then on, Orga was surprised to learn the Overseer was a "she". When she entered, Orga had forgotten about their first encounter but Merribit had not, but he did quickly and eventually recover his very faint memory of what happened when he was drunk. She find it hard to believe that the ship was run by children, Orga requested that she not treat them as such.

Merribit frequently disagreed with the tactics employed by Orga. She was distraught at the vengeful tendencies the children in Tekkadan were showing after Biscuit's death, even more so at their willingness to engage in suicidal tactics during the battle of Edmonton. Despite this, she acknowledged that everything Orga was doing was for their collective future and that their lives weighed heavily on him. She has continued to work for Tekkadan since.

Naze Turbine

Naze is Orga's mentor and his initial partner in Teiwaz. Orga calls him "big brother" and he has a deep affection and an unconditional trust in Naze. For his part, Naze believes in Orga skills and always encourages him. He treats Orga with utmost care, to the extent that he declined his help and actually asked him not to intervene when he was framed. After Naze's death, Orga attempts to control his lust for vengeance against Jasley Donomikols, but eventually gives in when his fellow Tekkadan members push to take on Jasley's forces to avenge the deaths of Naze and other Turbines' crew.

McGillis Fareed

Whilst initially enemies, McGillis later forms an alliance with Tekkadan and promises that the organization would become sovereign of mars once he succeeds in becoming Gjallarhorn's leader. Orga at first is a bit wary of the trust he can place in McGillis but as events progress and the growing conflict with Rustal's forces, Orga begins placing more faith in him and vows that he will never betray McGillis. McGillis on the other hand whilst respecting Tekkadan's fighting spirit seems to look down upon them as a means to an end. During the battle against Hashmal, he claims he wants Tekkadan to be completely reliant on him rather than a symbiotic relationship. This is further shown by McGillis' willingness to let Tekkadan take casualties, this infuriates Orga and prompts him to assault McGillis for daring to undermine the lives of his family. The strain on their alliance borders on a breaking point with Orga dropping all pretense between the two and claiming that after the battle with Rustal's forces they would go their separate ways.
