Kacricon Cacooler (カクリコン・カクーラー Kakurikon Kakūrā?) is a fictional character from the Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam series.

History[]

Born in U.C. 0063 [1], Kacricon was one of the Titans pilots selected to test the three RX-178 Gundam Mk-II units located at the Titan base inside Green Noa. While fighting off an attack by the Anti Earth Union Group, Kacricon mistook the pilot of another Gundam Mk-II to be his close friend Jerid Messa, this mistake allowed Kamille Bidan to corner the Gundam and forced Kacricon to surrender it to the young pilot.

Determined to regain some honor, Kacricon takes part in the mission to recover the stolen Gundam Mk-II's from the AEUG. To do so he takes command of another mobile suit, the RMS-106 Hizack, and engages in a sortie against the AEUG. After the Titans were able to recover the Gundam Mk-II's, Kacricon was to be one of the pilots to engage the Argama, only to be knocked out by Kamille Bidan and Franklin Bidan.

When the Titans began operations on the Moon to discover and destroy the AEUG's base of operations, Kacricon was given the new RMS-108 Marasai and devised an attack plan with Jerid to either capture or destroy the Gundam Mk-II piloted by Kamille. This plan used the speed of the Marasais to stagger their attacks, while one was running and duck behind a formation of rocks, the other pilot would appear and attack the Gundam. The plan worked until Quattro Bajeena came to Kamille's aide and forced Kacricon and Jerid to retreat.

Kacricon would get another chance at Kamille as the AEUG launched an operation against the Earth Federation headquarters in Jaburo. Launching in his Marasai, Kacricon hoped to use the gravity field of the planet to aid in defeating the Gundam Mk-II. His plan ultimately met with failure as the ballute for his mobile suit deployed to keep him from burning up in the atmosphere. The ballute was destroyed as Kamille passed it with the flying armor for the Gundam Mk-II, causing the Marasai to burn up in the atmosphere. Kacricon's last words were "Amelia", the name of his lover.[2]

Mobile Suit Zeta Define[]

Kacricon retains his role as Jerid's best friend, but it is revealed that the commanding officer meant to give his recommendation letter to the Titans had been previously killed, forcing him to take the entrance exam. Kacricon later revealed that he got the help of his lover, Amelia, to cheat on the exam during his fourth try by looking over the correct answers from previous exam takers. While studying, he also looked at the records of some of the other pilots, and later learned that one of them, Emma Sheen, was specially appointed to her position by a high ranking office and causes him to bear a grudge against her.

Kacricon remains at Jerid's side as they belittle and bully not only Kamille, but also, unlike the anime, Bright Noa at the spaceport of Gryps. When the AEUG raids Gryps to steal the Gundam MK-IIs, Kacricon gets into an argument with Bright and refuses to follow his orders of taking a more defensive formation. Kamille sees Kacricon threatening Bright, and steps in, saving Bright and forcing Kacricon to step out of his unit. Kamille would then take the second MK-II alongside Bright and Fa Yuiry while Kacricon was left in Emma's care. In contrast to the anime, Bask, Emma, and, Kacricon receive separate, hand-written orders from Bask Om regarding the retrieval of Kamille and the MK-IIs in exchange for the lives of his parents. Kacricon escorts Emma to the Argama as their envoy, but his special orders tell him to detonate a bomb in the backpack of Emma's MK-II if she stays in the ship for too long and use the chaos to steal an enemy mobile suit. Following this, Kacricon abandons his Hizack and steals Quattro Bajeena's RMS-099 Rick Dias. When he attempts to restrain Kamille's MK-II for Jerid to retrieve, the pair get into a battle with their beam sabers, and Kamille kills Kacricon when he impales the Rick Dias' cockpit. Like the anime, he simply shouts Amelia's name before his unit explodes.

His later battles against the AEUG would instead be given to Shelly Page.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • Kacricon is depicted as a lieutenant junior grade in the manga but has the insignia of a lieutenant commander in the show. This is most likely an illustration error on the show since Kacricon appears to be more of a junior officer. However, the rank may be due to his position as Titan's quartermaster. Nonetheless, he does not exercise the authority of a typical commander like Jamaican and appears to be more on equal footing with Jerid.
