Role
Kou Taragi is first seen in episode 8, where he leads Maya, Ethan and Lou into the relics to meet Dr. Kanal Tomrain. After taking you to a Computer system inside, he'll introduce you to Kanal, and set you on your way to the centre of the relics. He waits behind with Lou and a pair of bodyguards - when you come back, however, it's revealed that Taragi, Lou, and the bodyguards have disapeared. Maya breaks into tears, perhaps suggesting that they had a larger relationship than stated.
Later, During chapter 12, he is found in a seed "pod"; After being released by Ethan and Co, he explodes in a flash of light and mutates (It's worth noting that he looks like a Dark Bringer from PSO) into a Monster. Losing his thoughts, he attacks ethan and the group. After being beaten, he returns to his natural form. However, he's in a critical state, and dies within minutes. During this time he speaks to Maya and finally confesses his love to her - she's visibly shaken when he dies. After, Maya is far too upset to go on, and is escorted back to the Landeel by Hyuga.
