Gerry Strydum

Captain and later general of the US Army and companion and comrade-in-arms of Yuujirou Hanma. He developed an admiration for Yuujirou and now travels and fights with him on battlefields around the world. He somehow understands Yuujirou's mentality and mentions that he is the only person who has brought America to its knees. However, it is often seen that Strydum cannot stand situations where Yuujirou abuses his brutality and cruelty. She seems to know him well and understand his wild way of thinking, but generally disagrees with his actions. Strydum is also a friend and mentor to Baki, who keeps him updated on Yuujirou's whereabouts.

Strydum is rather a tough guy with a calm and confident expression, but also has a quite caring side of personality side. When Baki was 13, he showed a lot of interest and concern for him. Even tried to help him become stronger. He started to fear for the boy's life when he found out that he unintentionally sent him to fight Gaia.

Strydum is a grown and well-built man, despite his age. He has gray-blue eyes. He wears short-cut hair. In the first two seasons of anime, his hair was blonde, and in the third season he has already grey color of hair. Strydum has a lots of scars on his face after many battles in the war. He's usually dressed in his soldier uniform and military beret. It is very rare to see him dressed in any other way.
