Garudan is an average-sized man with long reddish-brown hair. His face is covered by a rabbit mask at all times. He wears a black kimono with orange rope-like patterns on it, as well as a white cloak.[1]
Little is known about Garudan's personality. He was presumably loyal to Kurozumi Orochi until the latter's seeming death, but had no issue with defecting to the Beasts Pirates afterward in spite of what the samurai code of honor held. He served the Beasts Pirates loyally, as he attacked Hyougoro.[4]
Abilities and Powers[]
As a member of the Mimawarigumi, Garudan is presumably a capable samurai and fighter. However, his abilities paled in comparison to Hyougoro, who easily struck him and many of his comrades down with a single attack.[4]
Weapons[]
Garudan wields two identical katanas with round tsuba and brown hilts,[1] one of which was broken in two by Hyougoro.[4]
A week later, the Mimawarigumi accompanied Orochi to Onigashima to party during the Fire Festival. However, Orochi would then be seemingly killed by Kaidou as part of Kaidou's planned takeover of Wano. The Emperor gave Orochi's subordinates the choice between pledging allegiance to him or fighting; Hotei immediately pledged the Mimawarigumi's support with no dissenters.[2]
Garudan and his allies are defeated by Hyougoro.
The festivities were then interrupted by the invasion of the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance. The Mimawarigumi were confronted by Hyougoro, an old yakuza boss who had regained his former strength. Garudan, Hotei, and several of their comrades charged at him, but Hyougoro struck all of them down quickly with a single blow.[4]
His name is likely derived from Solar System Squadron Guldan (太陽系戦隊 ガルダン,Taiyō-kei Sentai Garudan?), a model kit line released in the spring of 1981 by Arii. It is essentially a knock-off of the popular Gundam model kits. Garudan shares this naming theme with fellow Mimawarigumi member Gangaru.
