Astra Lost in Space is a work serialized in Shonen Jump+, and its story is very complex, including mystery, which sets it apart from the usual science fiction of boys' manga. The story is about children who go on a training trip to space, but are thrown into outer space by a mysterious round sphere, and then try to return to their hometown. In this article, we will introduce one of the members, Kitri Raphael.
What kind of person is Kitri Raphael?
Kitri gives the impression of being a bit nagging and sarcastic. However, she has a kind personality that is full of love, and she also has a medical background. Her step-sister, Funi, also joins the trip, and in the beginning, the two have a complicated relationship and are a little awkward, but after an incident on a certain planet, they become like real sisters. She has also known Zack since childhood, and they have been good friends ever since. She has always been cold towards her friends, but she has always been close to Zack.
Kittori Raphael's first appearance
Kittori's first appearance at the airport. She has not yet opened up to the people around her, and she has a cold attitude towards them. When she was lost in space, she calmly said that if she was swallowed by the ball again, she would be able to return. She still spoke harshly to Kanata, but she gradually opened up to the others, and with her medical knowledge, she became one of the tough members of the team.
Kitri and Raphael's Relationship
Zack Walker
He is a childhood friend and the person Kitri loves. Kitri is easy to understand, and it seems that everyone knows that she likes Zack. She confesses her feelings to Zack on the planet Ikris. Zack responds, "We're going to get married, right?" It seems that he remembered the promise they made when they were children to get married, and he always took it seriously. So, before returning to his hometown, the two got engaged. And when they arrived safely back home, they got married.
Funisia Rafaeli
Kittori's unrelated sister, Funisia, will accompany Kittori and the others on the pretext of this space training trip assignment. Kitri, who is originally cold towards others, also treats Funisia coldly, but when Funisia is put in danger on the planet Villaverse, the two become close like real sisters. However, after that, Zack discovers that Kitri and Funisia look so similar that they could be real sisters, so he tests their DNA. The results reveal that they are the same person. They were both born as clones of their mother.
The Truth about Astra and Kitri and Raphael
Being a Clone
The common thread among all of these members was that they were all clones. Kitri was not raised with love from her mother, and the truth is that she was a clone of Kitri's mother, a genius doctor. Using their clones, Zack's father had researched a plan to completely transition through memory transplantation. And Funicia was a clone for organ transplantation just in case, not memories.
Not Humans
At the beginning of the story, the children traveling on the Astra felt like it was a story about returning to Earth, but in fact they are humans from another planet. Earth was in an ice age long ago due to a meteorite impact. Their ancestors then migrated to a planet called Astra using a wormhole. In other words, the planet with no biological reaction that was where they were sent by the wormhole was Earth. The Gregorian calendar that they use on the Astra has also been shifted by 100 years by the government.
After Kitri and Raphael's return
Kitri and the others were able to return safely to Astra. After that, the crew of the Astra became famous overnight. Kitri also appeared on the cover of a magazine and published a photo book. However, it seems that her popularity was stolen by Charles. She married Zack without incident, but Zack went off to explore space with Kanata as promised on the Astra, and he seems to be grumbling again.
