Doug Erholtz (English)

**Mike Willow Frederick** is a core ally and stand user in *Thunder Crusaders*. He reappears in *Golden Stone* as a side character and ally.

In Thunder Crusaders, the Dronner man, Mike travels with Kazuna and Kasuke to avenge his sister, who was murdered by a man with two right hands. In *Golden Stone*, Mike reappears to aid the rebellious Team Ghiaccio in their quest to defeat the Boss of Calconian gang, Diamante.

Mike is a Vision User and wields Hydro Vision.

## Appearance

Mike is a muscular young man with rather fair skin and an athletic physique. He has messy, blonde hair, His bangs fall over his left eyes in an uneven fringe. and wide, dark blue eyes with white pupils that appear lighter around the lower section of his irises.

He wears a tank top cut above the navel, gloves studded at the knuckles, fitting pants with a leather belt, and knee-high leather boots. He dons a long, broad, red scarf with Hydro Vision on his left chest.

## Personality

Mike's most defining trait is his honor. His first appearance has him handicap himself on purpose by explaining his ability and fight his opponent Albert in a terrain more suitable to the latter. Mike's honor is such that even under the control of INAZUMA, he refuses to do something as dishonorable as attacking someone from the backname. Adopting a chivalrous mindset, Mike is reluctant to flee from a fight or use dishonorable tactics, although he can be persuaded if the opponent is one he deeply hates like Odin or INAZUMA. He is in fact somewhat happy to see Hel challenge him directly. Mike is also very eager to avenge his fallen loved ones, for instance traveling the world to search for the one to have killed his sister Camilla. Mike is well-meaning and will also sacrifice a potential romance so his enemies won't harm an innocent woman, the most notable case with Floren, whose kindness towards him when Skadi's Vision caused him to shrink into a child moved him.

## Abilities

**Swordsmanship:** Mike's training by himself and an off-hand comment about Hel's amateurish sword stance suggests that Mike himself is a skilled swordsman. His skill is somewhat demonstrated when after being possessed by Hel, he himself is able to overwhelm Kazuna. The anime expands on that by giving him a typical fencing stance.

**Computer Hacking:** After having been defeated by Demonio, Mike went into hiding and developed computer hacking skills, allowing him to watch over numerous law enforcement databases unnoticed and communicate undetected by Diamante with Ghiaccio's Gang.

**Genius Intellect:** Mike's tactical acumen is greatly impeded by his faults, such as mild arrogance, tendency to be distracted by women (especially pretty ones), and his general nobility of character which makes him slow in expecting treachery.

**Indomitable Will:** Mike possesses an undaunted will and spirit, being able to fight and engage in battle against enemies stronger than him, such as Odin. The death of Albert and Felsen also played a big role in his insurmountable willpower.

**Hydrokinesis:** As Hydro Vision user, Mike can manipulate water, specifically the flow, flexibility and adaptability of the liquid and replicates it with his movements, techniques and abilities. Most, if not all, known techniques involve the user bending his body, arm and weapon in a fluid motion to match the movements of rushing or flowing water.

* **Enhanced Mastery:** Mike's Elemental Passive is able to expertly wield his Hydro Vision and make it fight with the expertise of a seasoned swordsman, able to command it to slash or stab with great precision and timing. Although the sword is its main feature, Polnareff can also command his Elemental Passive to perform kicks in a pinch. Moreover, Mike has a habit of partially channelling His Hydro Vision through his body, adding greater protection against attacks.
