Danny

Template:MamonoDBDanny (ダニー Dani) is one of the many mamono of Konjiki no Gash!! Danny's bookkeeper is Goldo and he is the mamono of the purple spell book. His primary spell element is healing but he utilizes physical fighting techniques in battle. Danny was entrusted by Goldo with the responsibility to ensure the safety of the Shemira statue in Japan at any cost.

Appearance

Danny is a teenage human-like mamono. He's roughly the same height as Wonrei excluding any extra height his hair gives him. Danny has long and tall white hair that extends upward, violet eyes, and lines extending downward from his eyes similar to Gash. He wears dark shoes, long baggy purple pants and shirt, and a white top. He also wears two belts around his waist. Danny has a fairly muscular physique to him as well.

Personality

Danny is a headstrong mamono who gets a sense of excitement when it comes to fighting. Danny takes great pride in his fighting technique and in his own self-recovery spell allowing him to continuously put himself on the front line of battle. Despite his evident sense of self-reliance, this alone doesn't stop Goldo from referring to him as 'Danny-boy' which often prompts frustration and embarrassment from Danny who desperately wishes he was called by his actual name alone. Despite his frustration with Goldo over this, Danny still nevertheless prioritizes Goldo's safety over all else. When it came down between Goldo's life or the Shemira statue, he ultimately couldn't allow Goldo to get himself killed and was willing to give up protecting the statue in order to ensure Goldo's safety. Danny initially regarded his job to transport the Shemira statue safely as nothing more than lowly babysitting work, but as he came to understand the importance and significance the Shemira statue holds to others and Goldo especially, Danny without any second thought was willing to forgo his own safety and protecting his spell book in order to keep the Shemira statue safe as promised. Danny, despite having had some goal towards becoming king, learned how much more meaningful it was to be able to keep the statue safe and in the end was glad with the choice he made.

Synopsis

Introduction Arc:

Danny had been traveling with Goldo transporting the Shemia statue to Japan. After accompanying Goldo to the museum it was intended to be displayed at, he's sent off to purchase some taiyaki. He meets Gash and initially believes he is there to challenge him and the two spar until it is revealed that Gash is only there to see the statue. Danny and Gash return to Goldo seeing him tied up and the room he was in ransacked informing them the statue was stolen. With Gash's help, they were able to locate the ship the Shemira statue was to be transported in. Danny goes all out in taking out the gaurds until he sees Goldo at gunpoint. They were all luckily saved in the nick of time with Kiyomaro's help. As Danny drives everyone and the statue back to the museum, a freight truck carrying a large cement pylon gets a flat tire and Danny swerves right into it causing the cement pylon to fall onto the car. Danny uses all his strength to prevent the pylon from crushing the statue and requests Gash to blast the pylon in order to save the statue. Danny survives and returns the statue to Goldo. The two share a tearful moment with each other before Danny finally returns to the mamono world.

In the anime, Danny, Goldo, Gash, and Kiyomaro stand outside the harbor as police arrest the criminals involved in the attempted theft of the Shemira statue. One of the criminals manages to get away from police and hijack a freight truck carrying the large cement pylon and eventually crashes causing the pylon to fall onto the car. All events afterward remain the same.

Clear Note Arc:

When the current condition of the mamono world is revealed in the spell books of the remaining 10 teams, it can be assumed that Danny, like the other mamono, had lost his physical body and only existed as a spirit waiting to be restored by the next king.

Despite having his book being burned, Danny reappears as one of the first and many mamono who offer their strength and strongest spells to Gash during his battle against Clear Note. Danny offers his self-recovery spell, jioruk, which allows Gash's body to be restored to peak physical condition. Danny stands by Gash informing him he and many others are witnessing the current battle and are with him and ready to help him defeat Clear.

After the Battle:

Like most participants in the battle to decide king, Danny writes a letter to his now former partner Goldo presumably informing him he's doing well in the mamono world. Danny can be seen with Wonrei chatting with each other and attending a different school than Gash.
