***Dr. Manga Grippe*** is a fictional character that appears in *The Rage Knights: Red God* universe and other stories created and written by Khaliq Trevor X.

## Origins

Dr. Manga Grippe was one of many Dr. Hans Grippe counterparts who helped oversee the operations of the Infinite Army. He heard tale of the Rage God and Karma God, then followed them across the galaxy. Manga Grippe tracked down the two warriors and destroyed the main CPU and thrusters of Clinton-90 preventing them from escaping from planet Rotunn. He was able to severely wound Midlore and chase Nomad into the planet's capital where he threatened to destroy the planet's civilization just to lure out Bradley. His scheming came to a halt when Midlore bribed a Rotunnling kid who was stealing from Clinton-90 to notify the chief Rotunnlings of Manga Grippe's presence and have him placed under arrest. The Rotunnling youth assisted Midlore in the ship and ambushed Manga Grippe, where he was trapped within the palace of the planet. In exchange for his captivity, the Rotunnlings gave Nomad and Midlore a Diseased Core. Manga Grippe however, was taken into custody where he fussed and cussed at Nomad and Midlore. Despite his capture however, Manga Grippe *would* escape custody.

## Post-Infinite Army to Pre-The Ruiner

Dr. Manga Grippe had escaped the planet with the use of a Bluddership, a ship that spat blobs of cellulite. During his return, he encountered the Neo-Deserters' Azia Washington and Rikki West-Stein who he immediately drew a connection to Nomad and Midlore. When he spoke of their name to the two young women, they knew he had been a criminal who had caused harm to their beloved "*Onee-San*". The two women fought Manga Grippe and gave him a black eye and nosebleed. Defeated, Manga Grippe walked away from the battle and had a drink, where he plotted his next attack against the likes of Nomad and Midlore. Though he would be unsuccessful after several attempts of obsessive research, believing that the two warriors simply died from fighting the Infinite Army. He came to harass Azia and Rikki once more, and then revealed a deadly secret: the Mangaka Goddess's Kiss armor which he had been *cursed* from a successful alien Manga Artist. When he activated the armor's attacks, he attempted to obliterate Azia, Rikki and Queens Mane as an act of 'revenge' against his two enemies but was soon defeated by Kyeung Wei Kho who appeared after being secretly summoned by Zildri West-Stein from afar.

## Physical Appearance

Dr. Manga Grippe has a distinctive "manga style" attire and dons various samurai-based items and weapons. While he didn't use many of his items in the *Infinite Army* arc, he still wielded them in gag stories. His most worn armor is the Muneshige Kato which bears a large *infinite* symbol tied to the chest of a high technological suit of armor with moon eclipses. With certain items such as the Shojo Chick Converter Gun, Manga Grippe can change his gender into a typical laughing girl variation found in some manga. Whenever he activates the Mangaka Goddess's Kiss, his body loses its pigmentation and thus rewrites his genetic code, creating a new form where Dr. Manga Grippe's eyes are piercing white and a rotating disc hovers over his head. His skin becomes nearly pale white with splashes of discolored purple 'ink'. He still dons part of Muneshige Kato but primarily only the legs of the armor and not the chestplates and arm regions. Whenever injured in this form, Manga Grippe's body is overridden with '*red*' blots to symbolize pain.

### Personality

Dr. Manga Grippe borrows elements of personality from his other counterparts, such as a somewhat shy personality similar to Universe B2's Dr. Grippe and a vain approach to his character like that of Universe-664's Grippe. Though the former, Manga Grippe is only seen as shy whenever he is accused of something (i.e. the Rotunnlings coming to arrest him for chasing Nomad and scaring the townsfolk) or whenever he wants something. He will tilt his head down low to avoid being sighted. Manga Grippe's vanity however is more present, but even this is limited whenever he comes to talking about his fate of donning the Mangaka Goddess's Kiss which he deems a "*curse*".

## Mangaka Goddess's Kiss

> "*Once upon a time young ladies, I stumbled across a witch of a manga artist... She at first seemed friendly, like the friendliest friendly woman you'd dream of meeting until... Well, I acted like a guy - and then, with a simple act of affection, she stuck her lips to my cheekbone and I was 'gifted' this curse. One I couldn't shake. Perhaps I should have used it on your old men, but even I, decided to spare them from this damnable shame. Today however, I will crush you both with the act of a Mangaka Goddess's Kiss!!!!*"

At some point in time prior to meeting Nomad Bradley and Midlore West-Stein, Dr. Manga Grippe was kissed by a mangaka who then cursed Grippe by causing a suit of armor to form inside his blood, thus creating the Mangaka Goddess's Kiss. When he activated this armor, he nearly destroyed half of Queens Mane, but he was stopped by a summoned Kyeung Wei Kho who was conjured by Zildri West-Stein. This forced the armor to withdraw and sheathe back into Grippe's blood before he was incapacitated and arrested once more.

### Akai Kami No Owari

*Akai Kami No Owari,* or literally "Red God's End" is a forth-wall based katana used by Dr. Manga Grippe. He breaks the forth wall often whenever using the blade and drew it for the first time when he encountered Nomad and Midlore. Mentioning how *the Rage Knights: Red God* sucks and will perish. Morbidly taunting Nomad and Midlore in an attempt to discourage them and have them surrender. However Nomad and Midlore fired back at his attempts with their own personal gags, lessening the effectiveness of Manga Grippe's forth wall tactics while using the katana. The blade is powerful to where if used correctly, would have allowed Manga Grippe to *erase* the Rage Knights from existence with a fatal swing especially if they were "weak" in life force and power. Though it's unknown how potent this power necessarily is, as Manga Grippe only theorized this and he still failed to kill Midlore. Combined with Mangaka Goddess's Kiss, the blade seemingly has more power, Manga Grippe was able to wrestle Azia in the air just by slashing the blade and he was able to project red magic energy from the sword when he combated against Rikki and her black magic.
