Changes: Physica S. Fulcrum

Revision as of 06:46, 26 July 2018

Physica S. Fulcrum (フィジカ・S・ファルクラム) is a Variable Fighter pilot in Macross 7. He became the third member of Diamond Force after Docker was incapacitated.

Personality & Character

Physica has a strong sense of justice, but is also a rather weak-willed and pessimistic person who hardly takes risks. He often has to be guided by Gamurin and Kinryu to take the right course of action.

Though separated from them due to his profession, Physica cares deeply about his family. The prospect of not being able to see them ever again is one thing that troubles him constantly.

Skills And Abilities

Though not initially part of Diamond Force, Physica was inducted because of his top-notch piloting skills. One thing he is lacks however, is killer instinct. He shows proficiency with technical simulations but due to his nature as a worrywart, Physica gives negative results higher precedence.

Physica is also quite skilled in handicrafts, as shown when he created a small music box that can play an instrumental version of Fire Bomber's hit song Planet Dance.

History

Physica's transfer to Diamond Force was first confirmed by Battle 7 bridge operator Miho Miho the day after Docker was afflicted by an unknown illness that left him in an unresponsive state. Physica was shown clearly nervous prior to launch, but was able to go through his initial sortie without incident.

In Episode 6, Diamond Force was out on a test-flight since their VF-17s were recently tuned up. Gamurin notices a suspicious-looking MM model shuttle with questionable cruising speed. Physica dismisses it as a modification by the owner but Gamurin reminds him that a good pilot should not overlook the smallest details. Upon receiving the analysis results, Physica thought that the model number signal was just normal for the craft, but was shocked to see that it changed randomly at fixed intervals. Gamurin volunteers to tail the suspicious shuttle while Kinryu and Physica return to Battle 7 to report this along with the results of their test flight.

Notes & Trivia

His name is derived from common elements in the academic subject of Physics.
Physica's Japanese VA Akio Suyama also voiced Gavil, one of the Protodeviln in the same series.
Physica's demise established the Music Box as a pilot jinx item.
There are two different liner note explanations as to why Physica's wife and child are seen together with another man:
- According to the notes inside certain home video releases, the 2 year-old child (who isn't too familiar with Physica due to his long absence) just mistook a passerby for him.
- In Macross Chronicle, it is said that Physica's family had already become detached to him emotionally and started a whole new life.
