Vai O La Crumars II

Vai O La Crumars II is a Mortar Headd from The Five Star Stories (ファイブスター物語). Its unusual name and ornate presentation fit Mamoru Nagano’s approach to mecha design, where each important machine has its own lineage, title and visual personality rather than functioning as a generic battlefield unit.

As a Mortar Headd, Vai O La Crumars II should be understood as a specialised machine-knight operated by a Headliner and Fatima pair. The design belongs to the FSS tradition of aristocratic mecha: elongated, decorative, theatrical and highly individual. Its appeal is the feeling of a named war machine with its own noble identity, where fashion, heraldry and mechanical power are inseparable.
