'''Divine''' beings are a class of immortals whose existence transcends the normal mortal conflicts and struggles upon the Earth. This status is among only the gods of ''Kid Icarus'' universe along with [[Pit (Kid Icarus)|angels]], who serve as the messenger of the gods. Gods are the beings praised by humankind, and generally hold domain over parts of the lands where humans live, whilst angels spread the word of their god/goddess and carry messages from the people. Gods also typically "embody" or are the personification of a certain concept/earthly element such as light, which the goddess [[Palutena|Lady Palutena]] embodies and upholds, which their forces and angels follow lawfully.

== Background ==
'''Shotaro Kaneda''' is the main protagonist of the ''AKIRA'' film. He is the leader of The Capsules, a gang of high schoolers who ride along the high ways of Neo-Tokyo and rebelling against the law. He was also a friend of [[Tetsuo Shima (Film)|Tetsuo]], acting as a brother figure to him before Tetsuo would encounter an esper and begin developing psychic powers.

Some divine beings like gods and angels are hard to identify, due to their "physical appearance" being merely an easy human form for the mortal race to comprehend. Though various other divine beings, like spirits, are rather straightforward.

<font size=4> '''Early Life''' </font>
<br>
Like most of the characters in the story, Kaneda's early life is largely not shown in the film. However, behind-the-scenes materials describe his childhood. His parents owned a laundry business, and he had a brother four years younger than him, who was born with a disability and frequently visited treatment centers. The stress of this seems to have gradually caused the family to fall apart- their father collapsed from fatigue, Kaneda had to change elementary schools due to his brother changing treatment centers, and then his mother ran off. From ages eight to nine, the family lives off of government assistance, and eventually, due to his father's turn to alcoholism and being deemed unfit to care for the children, Kaneda is sent to an orphanage, separated from his little brother who stays at a hospital.


Kaneda had been living at the orphanage for half a year when Tetsuo arrived there, whom he quickly befriended by retrieving Tetsuo's toy which had been stolen by bullies. The two of them spent about a year and a half together there, before Kaneda turned eleven and graduated, forced to go to a boarding middle school and leave Tetsuo behind. Middle school is where Kaneda began showing signs of a defiant attitude, and while his grades were above average, he was a fully-fledged delinquent by thirteen. At fourteen, he got in trouble with the law and was expelled, getting sent to Eighth District Youth Vocational Training School.
*'''Gods:''' Gods are the oldest beings in the universe (with them possibly predating the first life on earth), and the ones who ultimately oversee the human realm and its prosperity. Like mortals however, the gods are often irrational and easily clash in global-scale wars which indirectly involve the human race.
*'''Angels:''' Angels are the messengers of the gods, and operate similarly to the gods in that their true forms are too abstract for mortal comprehension. Angels often represent the faction of their god/goddess and will utilize their blessings and boons to keep the wishes and demands of the gods strong on Earth.
*'''Reincarnated:''' The reincarnated are exactly as their name implies; deceased mortals who have reached the Underworld or retuned to Nature where they will be reincarnated into a new life, or reformed as a troop of their respective realm. Soul-made entities typically have the ability to combat the angels, and even gods, with divine pranks.


At the Vocational School, Kaneda met Yamagata, and eventually formed a motorcycle team the next year. Not long after, Tetsuo and Kai transferred to the school and joined as well.
== Abilities ==
During a fight with The Clown Gang, Tetsuo becomes victim of a motorbike accident caused by the sudden appearance of Takashi crossing the Old Tokyo road. After that, Kaneda and the rest of his gang are arrested by government forces who interrogate them because of the events.

Introduction

Divine beings are a class of immortals whose existence transcends the normal mortal conflicts and struggles upon the Earth. This status is among only the gods of Kid Icarus universe along with angels, who serve as the messenger of the gods. Gods are the beings praised by humankind, and generally hold domain over parts of the lands where humans live, whilst angels spread the word of their god/goddess and carry messages from the people. Gods also typically "embody" or are the personification of a certain concept/earthly element such as light, which the goddess Lady Palutena embodies and upholds, which their forces and angels follow lawfully.

Types

Some divine beings like gods and angels are hard to identify, due to their "physical appearance" being merely an easy human form for the mortal race to comprehend. Though various other divine beings, like spirits, are rather straightforward.

  • Gods: Gods are the oldest beings in the universe (with them possibly predating the first life on earth), and the ones who ultimately oversee the human realm and its prosperity. Like mortals however, the gods are often irrational and easily clash in global-scale wars which indirectly involve the human race.
  • Angels: Angels are the messengers of the gods, and operate similarly to the gods in that their true forms are too abstract for mortal comprehension. Angels often represent the faction of their god/goddess and will utilize their blessings and boons to keep the wishes and demands of the gods strong on Earth.
  • Reincarnated: The reincarnated are exactly as their name implies; deceased mortals who have reached the Underworld or retuned to Nature where they will be reincarnated into a new life, or reformed as a troop of their respective realm. Soul-made entities typically have the ability to combat the angels, and even gods, with divine pranks.
