Keel is the main protagonist of Buster Keel. He's an Adventurer and the fighter of Buster Keel along with Lavie, Mippy, and Blue. Keel is actually a Dragon Ape who's turned into a human by Siva and is now looking for him in order to regain his original form. He's also a student of "Kokushi Musou" Sarah.

Appearance[]

Keel is a Dragon Ape with the appearance of someone in his late teens.

In his human form, he has apricot skin, spiky bright orange hair, amber eyes and an intricate black tattoo on both of his arms. He also has slightly prominent canine-like fangs.

He wears a sleeveless, open white vest that has his Adventurer's Badge in the shape of a fist on his right side of his vest and has the word "Funky Monkey" on the left pocket, a red tank top with a skull and his name on the bottom. He sports a pair of black pants and light brown high-calf boots. He also wears many accessories that includes earrings, a hair piece with skulls, and the seal that Siva used to seal away his real form.

In his true form, Keel is an abnormally large, extremely muscular Dragon Ape with orange-colored scales, sharp teeth, and has curved horns coming out of his elbows.

At the end of the manga, due to Diabolo's curse being removed from him thanks to Lavie using her Divine Ballad: Holy Ray spell, he is turned into a Monkey Tail. His appearance is similar to his human form, but he now has a monkey tail protruding from his tailbone.

Personality[]

Since Keel is a Dragon Ape, his instincts and behaviors are like that of a wild animal's, and he often gets into arguments with Blue due to this.

Keel seems to be quite egocentric as when he first met Crem he insisted on being called "Keel-sama!" He also seems to disregard logic sometimes. For example, when T-Ross said that Keel's brothers were now Ross's hostages, Keel said that if Ross just released them then everything will be resolved.

In spite of his attitude, Keel does care deeply for his friends and family and will become enraged when they are in danger.

Abilities and Powers[]

Immense Strength: Even in his human form, Keel is strong enough to bend a metal lamppost and shatter a stone statue with his bare hands. When his "Dragon Ape Arm" is awakened, Keel's physical strength is enhanced to tremendous levels.

Immense Endurance: Keel has great durability, being sturdy enough to shrug off things that would kill a normal human. When he manifests his "Dragon Ape Arm", he can utilize it in a manner similar to that of a shield.

Immense Speed: Keel possesses great speed, closing large gaps in barely the blink of an eye. Upon acquiring his tail, Keel's movement speed easily reaches supersonic levels, allowing him to break the sound barrier.

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: As a Fighter, Keel specializes in close-quarters combat and has been shown taking on and besting multiple opponents a once single-handedly.

History[]

Background[]

Keel was an orphaned Dragon Ape who was taken in by a woman named Lily. He became adopted brothers with Kikazaru, Iwazaru, Mizaru. Keel later found out that she was going to sell them to slavery. But she ended up liking them, but she couldn't betray the organization so she killed herself. Just then Keels brothers came in and thought he killed her. Keel couldn't let them know the truth so he let them think he killed her.

Three years before the current storyline, Keel was forced into a human form by Siva.

While at a town Keel and co. are attacked by Oliqueen Yanxes. All of a sudden she is defeated by two unknown adventures. The two introduce themselves as Albra and Yanxes. Lavi explains that they are powerful, Keel starts getting annoyed so he leaves. While wondering the town he notices a girl being attacked. After saving her she tells him her name is Crem. After talking to her they get something to eat Keel tells her that he is a monster, to which she says that he could never be a monster to her. Crem states that she has to go. Once Keel returns he decides to join Albra and Yanxes on the mission. They explain that they are going to kill a monster named The Bird of Paradise that has been poisoning a hot spring.

After fighting the Bird of Paradise, Keel realizes that the Bird seems familiar, so he decides that he is joining the Bird's side. All of a sudden The Bird of Paradise reveals herself as Crem. Keel then explains that it is Albra and Yanxes that are poisoning the hot springs. Albra then takes out a gourd that sucks up Keel and Lavi spirits. While inside the Gourd Lavi appears with holy armour, a monster named Soul Eater appears and tells her that your spirit takes the form of your greatest desire (Lavi wants to protect her friends so therefore she is given holy armour). Keel then appears in his true Dragon Ape form and easily beats Soul Eater and escapes the Gourd. Keel and Blue then start fighting against Albra and Yanxes. After Keel and Blue start getting the upper hand, Albra and Yanxes reveal themselves as Gold and Silver.
