Megumi Oka

**Megumi Oka** is a member of the Voltes team and the tritagonist of *Chōdenji Machine Voltes V*. The daughter of General Oka, she is the only female member of the team. She is also one of two team members that are completely human, the other being Ippei Mine. Her Volt Machine is the Volt Lander.

## Appearance

Megumi is a blue-haired 16-year-old girl. Her uniform is yellow with pink accents and, unlike the other members' uniforms, is skirted. Her civilian outfit is a yellow long-sleeved shirt and red skirt. She sometimes wears a dark blue ninja outfit. She usually wears a pink hair bow as well.

## Personality

Megumi is calm yet alerted because of her mother's guidance. This is apparent in the first episode, when Ippei and the Go brothers were arguing about why they were training, while she just smiled.

She is the voice of reason to the Voltes team, especially Kenichi and Ippei due to their constant arguments. She is also pacifistic.

## Relationships

### Ippei Mine

In episode 3, after Mitsuyo Go died saving the Voltes team from a beast fighter, Ippei disrespected her and mocked the Go brothers for feeling sad for her death. Megumi then personally went to his room to interrogate him and understand the root of his behaviour. However, since Ippei was shirtless at the moment (due to training), he instead stated that Megumi was "welcome to stare at him". Regardless, Megumi pressed on and eventually he told her that his mother abandoned him and his father when he was a young child.

Later that night, as Kenichi, Daijirou and Hiyoshi were fixing Mitsuyo's grave (as Ippei had accidentally knocked it over during training practice) he mocked the dead woman again, earning the ire of the Go Brothers and resulting in Kenichi and him having a fistfight. However, before the fight could worsen, Megumi intervened. She told the Voltes team his (perceived) backstory and how Ippei felt upset that his mother abandoned him, causing him to run away in shame. The next day, Hamaguchi told Ippei the truth of what happened, having obtained a newspaper that reported on the incident where she supposedly abandoned him. Ippei's eyes filled with tears as he realized that he had misremembered the details and apologized to the Go brothers and Mitsuyo's grave for his actions.

However, Ippei has a streak for teasing Megumi. In episode 30, once he finds out she is terrified of crabs, he later tries to prank her by attaching one to a stick and shoving it in her face. However, Megumi was hypnotized at the time by the beast fighter Diaman and therefore wasn't scared, so she just walked past Ippei. Ippei then got pinched by the crab.

In episode 31, Ippei catches Megumi picking flowers and asks if they're for a boy. Megumi hides who they really are for, but Ippei is curious, and unbeknownst to her, he follows her on Eiffel to see who she gives them to. When Megumi places them on her father's grave and starts crying, Ippei is saddened and feels protective of her, vowing to get revenge on the Boazanians for killing General Oka. This scene implies that he has feelings for Megumi.

When Ippei and Megumi are travelling to Boazania, he asks Megumi what warp technology is, which causes everyone to laugh at him.

### Hiyoshi Goh

In the earliest episodes, while the Go brothers and Ippei enjoyed making fun of Megumi (which often caused her to lose her temper and act irrational), in later episodes Hiyoshi would warm up to her. Hiyoshi views Megumi as a big sister and sometimes uses "nee-san" when he's talking to her.

When Megumi used her Koga-Ryu ninja style to pick up fish, Hiyoshi told her she was cheating, but she laughed at him.
