## Personality

Hot-headed, cocky, uncivilized, rude, and rather violent are the words that are best to describe Fugo. As shown in the first season, Fugo without any hesitation follows Russell Burrows' order to bombard Jillian Littner's house to lure Noel and Caron to his hideout. Fugo enjoys challenging others and taking on someone far stronger than him even if they are Devils. He enjoys doing whatever is fascinating to him, including burning the whole prison where he was kept during his prison break.

However, Fugo is nonetheless loyal to his men who had their admiration and loyalty to him, because of this he did not sell Burrows to the police upon fearing for their safety, and later nearly accepts Spica's offer to save them. He respects those who had won against him or proved them out to him (e.g Noel). Fugo himself is a man of his word, willing to listen to Noel after she defeats him and keep his promise to help her save Caron after she has proven herself (by escaping the burning prison and jumping off his fire). On the other hand, had no respect for his brother who swore to defeat him (during the time Oscar was still a police officer) since no humans would be able to take down a demon.

Before the event where his parents were killed in a fire, Fugo was noted by Oscar to be a fun-loving, mischievous, and cheerful boy. In addition, he still carries those traits even as an adult as he loves to bicker and enjoys making fun of others (typically Noel, Caron, and Oscar) and gave his trio their respective new name as a way to grant them a new life (despite those names sounding weird to the others).

After his parents' death and his life ruined by the fires caused by Burrows and Jino, he became fascinated by the power which changed his life in the blink of an eye and longed for that power. However, upon learning that Russell Burrows and Jino Lorenzi were behind the fire that killed his family, Fugo then gathers his forces and will ally with his brother along with Noel and Caron.

From season 5 onwards, Fugo has become much more mature than before, and he no longer being cocky as he used to be and starts to care about his comrades more. Jino added that Fugo has changed and his caring for his friends has made him weaker. When luring Jino to fight him on the rooftop (which is the perfect place where his fire will not spread), instead of defeating Jino, he fights to buy Noel more time for her battle against Coffin Neris. Later came to the rooftop of the ceremonial hall to save Noel and Caron as soon as he notices Russell's power. Later fighting against Dratton Bergman and Ribelio Strada to protect his friends while giving them time to escape then retreat himself while the past Fugo is not going to retreat that easily and will not stop until his foes are all defeated.

## Powers and Abilities

### Demon's abilities

As a demon, Fugo attains supernatural power and immense strength that is far superior to humans

#### Pyrokinesis

After making a contract with a devil, Fugo attains the ability to control and dominated flames which made his name **Bomber**. Throughout the series, this is Fugo's signature ability that is used in battles. This ability allows Fugo to create fires and used them as weapons, having a fireproof body and becoming one with the fires.

#### Enhanced Physical Strength

Aside from his ability to control fires, Fugo was shown to have a massive strength that is far stronger than humans. In season 5, it is said that compare to Caron, he is much stronger and his hits give more damage. However, some cases were able to endure his blow such as Caron, Caesar, Jino Lorenzi, Dratton Bergman, and Spica.

#### Enhanced Recovery

This is one of the abilities that the demon, Fugo attains. Fugo, much like other demons, healed faster than a normal human does as it only took him a while to recover from his wounds from the battles with Caron and Jino.

#### Fallen Down

In season 5, Fugo unlocked his Fallen Down state and attains his power and strength to a different level. In this state, his power over the flames becomes more destructive, and his fire burns non-stop, his blow becomes much more fatal to those who received it. Not even Jino could defeat him in this form. However, Dratton Bergman, who is far stronger than him was able to take on him in a duel.

### Other Abilities

#### Bombing skills

Due to his skills and passion for fires and explosions upon becoming a demon, Fugo continuously bombed and terrorized Lhaplus and was infamously known as Bomber. Not only did he uses bombs for battles and fights but also uses them strategically as shown in season 5 and season 9. He also owns many types of bombs such as grenades, smoke generators, and more. Indicate his knowledge about bombs.

#### Strategic Skills

Despite being considered to be brash and simple-minded, Fugo has proven himself to be pretty smart and has a strategic side proven on several occasions by blocking his enemies' eyesight when he learns that he could not defeat them or create a chance to attack or finds defeats them unnecessarily, buying times and then escaping shown in his battles with Caesar, Jino Lorenzi, Dratton Bergman, and Luce Marie.

## Weaknesses

Despite being powerful, Fugo himself, like most demons attains some weaknesses as well.

### Limited Eye-sight

Due to having to pay his price, Fugo receives two impacts and one of them was the limited eye-sight in his right eye and that he cannot see well unless he has a glass. Because of this, his mask's right eyeglass was made to support his eyesight.

### Low Stamina

Another impact that Fugo endured upon paying his price was his limited stamina. Upon being burned alive when he was still young, Fugo's stamina was cut short and he can not endure long fights unless an oxygen tank was there with him.

### Water and Fire Tools

As shown in season 6, one of Fugo's weaknesses was water as he attain his power over the flames, his power was suppressed by water when Jino dumped water on him, and he can not use his power for a while, and had to wait longer to recover his flames to continue his fight. Because of this, water or even fire tools alone is already enough to suppress him.

## Background

### History

Fugo was born and lived in Lhaplus with his parents and his brother, Oscar Dressel. As Oscar has a weak body and often got hospitalized, Fugo occasionally visited him in the hospital to company him. Oscar's condition resulting his family always being desperate and gloomy as Fugo put it, so Fugo tried his best to change his family's life for the better through his cheerfulness to no avail.

One day, not long after Oscar was finally discharged from the hospital, Fugo's home got caught in a crossfire caused by Burrows and Jino, which was reported as an attack by a demon or devil. The Dressel home was burned down, killing Fugo's parents and injuring Oscar. Fugo survived the fire but got separated from his older brother and since then was reported missing while Oscar was adopted by Jino.

Even though he was almost killed in the fire and lost his parents as the result, Fugo also became fascinated by the fire from the demonic power because of how it was able to easily change his entire life, something that he had been longing for. He contacted Burrows to form a contract with a devil, giving him the bombing ability as well as a fireproof body. However, his price was to have his body covered in burn scars with the lack of vision in his left eye and a weaker respiratory system as an impact from his price. With his newfound power, Fugo began terrorizing Lhaplus by bombing many places, particularly downtown. While continuing his activities as Bomber, Fugo gathered and formed a gang of his own that consisted of gangsters and the former mafia family Rosso who admired his way of living and all loyal to him, making an Abandoned Steel Works their hideout.

At one point during one of his bombings, he was reunited with his older brother who became a police officer. Fugo revealed his identity to his brother and apologized because their reunion has to be that way, though Fugo admitted that he willingly became a demon because he wished for a power to change his life, confirming Oscar's fear that Fugo became a demon because of growing up having a sickly older brother. Since then, Oscar became determined to defeat Fugo and drag him back to the right path.

## Plot

### Season 1

Fugo is hired by Burrows to bombard Jillian's house downtown and kidnap her to threaten Noel. Interested in battling a devil and another demon, Fugo accepted the job with excitement. As ordered, he successfully bombed Jillian's house and kidnapped her, which gained Noel's attention and forced her to come out of hiding. When Noel and Caron are on top of the house and Caron goes inside, Fugo purposely bumps into Noel, leaving her a letter, in which he reveals having kidnapped Jillian and asks Noel to come to rescue her in the Abandoned Steel Works. There, Fugo assures Noel that Jillian is alive, but is disappointed when knowing that Noel has yet become a demon. Losing interest in Noel, he turns to Caron as his target, challenging them to reach his place if they want to rescue Jillian.

Inside the Steel Works, Noel and Caron fight Fugo's allies until they reach the room where Jillian was held captive and Fugo waiting for them. Fugo once again challenges Caron to a match, attacking him and Noel with his bombs. Caron instructs Noel to go to Jillian while he fights Fugo. As Caron's wounds from infiltrating Burrows' manor haven't completely healed, Fugo gradually corners Caron. However, because Fugo's attention solely focuses on Caron, he fails to realize Noel standing above and knocks down a steel pillar, which falls right down on him, rendering him unable to fight.

Impressed by Noel's move, Fugo reveals before passing out that he won't sell out Burrows because the mayor would know if someone betrays him, and not only the betrayer themselves would face the consequence, but so does their family and friends. Also, Burrows completely controls the police in Lhaplus, so any trials of his involvement in the crimes would be simply covered up. Afterward, Fugo is arrested by the police and imprisoned.

### Season 5

While imprisoned, Fugo is frequently visited by his older brother, Oscar, who tried to convince him to change his ways. When Oscar doesn't come, Fugo wonders if he has died and could hear the ruckus at the upper ground, wondering if Noel and Caron were the cause.

Under Oscar's suggestion, Noel sneaks into the prison Fugo was jailed in, determined to get his help to rescue Caron after the devil was captured by Jillian. Fugo notices Noel sneaking in and helps her by distracting the guard's attention until she knocked him out. Surprised to hear that Noel has fought and beat his brother and she was sent by him, Fugo is willing to listen to Noel's story. Fugo is rather reluctant in helping Noel, but seeing how much Noel has changed, Fugo agrees to take her offer if she can prove herself by escaping the prison unharmed from his rampage. When Noel succeeds in this, Fugo fulfills his end of the bargain, taking her to the Abandoned Steel Works where he encounters his old allies, the most important being Python, Toad , and Slug. Together, they make a plan to rescue Caron.

During the rescue mission, Fugo's allies take out the guards while he and Noel go to where Caron is imprisoned. They are blocked by Police Commissioner Jino Lorenzi, who despite not being a demon, is strong enough to handle them alone. Fugo lets Noel go on ahead while he fights Jino. Not having his mask, Fugo was overpowered by Jino due to his breathing difficulty and vision. He was close to being defeated until he could enter Fallen Down, taking Jino by surprise and defeating the police commissioner. Thinking that Jino has useful information about Burrows, he ties him up and brings him to where Noel and Caron are. Fugo demands information about Burrows from Jino, but the latter reveals how he and Burrows are responsible for the fire that killed Fugo's parents and has been using the Dressel brothers since then. This information shocked Fugo so much that he let his guard down, allowing Jino to free himself from his bind and escape. Furious at Jino and Burrows for ruining his life, Fugo decides to take revenge on them, continuing his partnership with Noel and Caron.

### Season 6

The group agreed to weaken Burrows' financial power by shutting down Casino Misty. Disguised as guests, Fugo, Noel, Python, Toad, and Slug infiltrated the casino while Caron observes. The group plays the game in the casino until they gathered enough money for Noel to challenge the current owner of the casino, Coffin Neris, the most powerful gambler in the casino. While Noel is gambling with Madame Coffin, Jino and his police force ambushed the casino. Fugo lures Jino to the rooftop while the rest are fighting against Jino's men downstairs to buy Noel enough time until she defeats Madame Coffin. As he hasn't mastered the state of Fallen Down, and with his limited eye-sight and stamina, Fugo is eventually cornered once more by Jino and almost killed. However, fortunately for him, Oscar who has escaped the hospital after recovering his injuries came and interferes with their battle in the nick of time to save Fugo. Together with his older brother, they succeeded in buying enough time for Noel until she finally defeated Madame Coffin and shut down Casino Misty, prompting Jino to escape.

Fugo follows Oscar to the basement since the latter said he parked his motorbike there and will use it to escape the burning casino. On their way, they once again meet Jino whose feet got crushed and trapped after failing to kill Noel. Fugo advises Oscar to leave Jino, but to his surprise, Oscar decides to help the commissioner out of respect for raising him, even after knowing that Jino was responsible for their parent's death. However, Jino refuses Oscar's help, insisting that he is stronger alone, forcing Oscar to deliver the finishing blow when Jino attacks. Afterward, the two brothers return to Fugo's hideout.

### Season 7

After the fall of Casino Misty, Fugo and his allies left the Abandoned Steel Work since the police force has found the place as their hideout. They dispersed and went into hiding for a while before they are finally regrouping again. Since Burrows' influence and control has significantly weakened after the fall of Casino Misty, they decided it was the perfect time to strike Burrows directly and chose the ceremonial day as the time for them to strike. Due to his ability, Caron tasks Fugo to distract the whole guards outside by bombing them, a task that Fugo gladly obliged. 6 days before the attack on the ceremony after they made their plan, Fugo, like everyone else, notices Noel becoming depressed as the attack will take place at the ceremony where she once aspired to play piano. Fugo takes Noel to the prison where he used to be kept in and tells her how she inspired him. This encouraged Noel, though Fugo shyly denies that he was trying to encourage her.

On the day of the ceremony, Fugo bombs the cars, luring the attention of the guards stationed outside time. He easily defeated all of them and goes inside and incapacitated more guards that blockhole Caron's way. With more back upcoming, Fugo has Noel, Caron, and Oscar chase after Burrows while he and the rest handle the guards. After Burrows has shown his true nature and power on the rooftop, Fugo and Oscar come to Noel and Caron's help, but the rainy weather decreased his flame's power. Despite his effort, Burrows critically attacks Noel and Caron, and both fall into the sea while Fugo and Oscar could only watch. Without any choice, he and the others are forced to retreat.

### Season 8

A month after their failed assassination attempt on Burrows, Fugo and his friends are cornered by OCT. Fugo insisted on defeating the whole army alone, but Oscar convinces him to run with the rest while he fights them. Despite his frustration, Fugo reluctantly runs with Python, Toad, and Slug while telling Oscar not to die. He then wonders where Noel and Caron are and if they are still alive.

### Season 9

Fugo went into hiding until he learns the news about Noel, Caron, and Oscar's escapade. Knowing they are now back at Lhaplus, Fugo contacts Python, Toad, and Slug and orders them to regroup and then contact Noel, believing that OCT won't expect them to act now. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to him, a soldier has found his hideout and followed him until he and his friends gathered together. At the rendezvous point, he and his friends are ambushed by OCT Commander, Dratton Bergman, and his forces. Fugo fights against Dratton but realizing they are cornered, Fugo blew up the ground, falling to the underground while at the same time escaping from Dratton.

However, OCT captain Ribelio Strada and his devil Spica chase after them. Ribelio offers Fugo a chance to surrender and promises that he and his friends won't be harmed, but Spica interferes (by turning on Ribelio's bloodlust) and attacks Fugo and his friends out of boredom. their powerless state, Spica offers Fugo a chance to save his friends' life in exchange he becomes a demon working for her as Ribelio does. Unwilling to lose his friends, Fugo initially accepted Spica's offer, but Slug, followed by Toad and Python, encourages Fugo not to. Using the bomb tossed to him by Ribelio, Fugo blew away Ribelio and Spica to make another attempt to escape.

Noel, Caron, and Oscar arrive on time to save them, healing their injuries in the process. Together they successfully escaped from OCT.

## Trivia

* Fugo's signature color is Green.
* Fugo greatly resembles his brother Oscar.
	+ Fugo, like his brother, was only called by his first name by Noel and Caron when he became their ally.
* His battle HP was 5.
* Several artworks of KANAWO show that Fugo hates green bell peppers.
	+ It is stated that Fugo hates them to the point of not only refusing to eat them but even the thought of interacting with them repulsed him (just the thought of his fellows wearing green bell pepper outfits gave him nightmares).
* Caron and Noel noted that he is rather simple-minded and uncivilized.
* The fact that Fugo is shocked and later swears for revenge against Russell and Jino suggests that despite being fascinated by the power above the flames Fugo did love his family, lamenting his parent's death along with his life being ruined after the incident and swearing for vengeance against those who were behind all of it.
	+ This suggests that back then, he only wanted to change his family and his life back then before the incident. Likely the way he wanted it to change was different from the beginning.
