The pilot of the Gundam Deathscythe,
Duo is as jolly and happy-go-lucky as
Gundam pilots get. He persists in
offering his friendship to the initially
hostile Heero, eventually winning his
antisocial comrade's trust through
sheer persistence. But despite his
friendly nature, Duo earns his "God of
Death" nickname when he takes on
Alliance and OZ soldiers in battle.
Prior to Operation Meteor, Duo was
part of the spacegoing salvage
organization known as the Sweeper
Group, and on Earth he is assisted by
the Sweepers' seafaring kinsfolk. When
there is a lull in the fighting, Duo
happily returns to his
salvage-merchant's trade. He is
distinguished by his black wardrobe,
his yard-long braided ponytail, and his
minister's collar.
Endless Waltz
In Endless Waltz Duo, who seems
perfectly happy not to have the fate of
humanity resting on his shoulders
anymore, has returned to civilian life as
a scrap dealer. However, he still keeps
in touch with his buddy Heero, and
tags along on the grim hero's rescue
mission to the space colony X-18999.
Secret History
Judging from a flashback sequence in
Endless Waltz, it appears that Duo
came into possession of the Gundam
Deathscythe more or less by accident.
As a member of the space scavenger
organization known as the Sweeper
Group, he discovered the genocidal
scope of the true Operation Meteor,
and attempted to destroy the
Deathscythe rather than let it be used
for mass murder. Professor G,
evidently of the same mind, suggested
that Duo instead take the Deathscythe,
flee to Earth, and join forces with
Howard to attack OZ directly..
