The Shrine of Director-General Monty Zuma
Director-General Zuma (often known as "Director" or "Commander") is one
of the more noble characters of Project A-ko. His strong leadership was
demonstrated in the first movie, when he bravely fled the command centre.

Spaceship.)
In later episodes he continued to delight. In Part 2, he was bullied
into commissioning Hikaru Daitokuji's Cherry Blossoms (Also known as Marilyn)
In Part 3 He failed to materialise and order his troops, he claimed he
had a headache! In Part 4 he surrendered completely, panicking, nearly
wetting himself, and finally freezing virtually catatonic. (As seen below.)
The Director is one of my favorite characters, especially in the 3 OAV's
after the original. Zuma was originally drawn as a competent commander,
marvelling at how Earth technology had progressed in the "last sixteen
years". By Part 4, Final, he was asking his subordiates "What should we
do?" Well done Director, you are a credit to the Project A-ko series.
