Happy is a small blue cat with a white stomach and a black-tipped tail. He has a rectangular head, with pink ears, big black eyes with small, thin eyebrows, and light blue cheek marks near his tiny whiskers on either side of his face. Unlike normal cats, Happy's body structure allows him to walk erect.
Personality
Happy is a kind, friendly, playful young android cat who, as with many machines, is capable of feeling and expressing emotions. In comparison to his more spirited partner Rebecca Bluegarden, he is generally level-headed and serious,[2] and openly acknowledges the lack of success for their shared B-Cube channel, Aoneko Channel.[3] Despite this, he shares many similar traits with Rebecca, such as being a self-described shut-in who plays video games prior to the start of their adventure.[4] He is also somewhat mischievous, teasingly commenting that Rebecca could attract more men if their videos had more sexual appeal.[5] However, he is extremely empathetic towards his friends, expressing anger and sadness whenever he sees them suffer.[6][7]
When Happy is first revived as an android, he is initially deeply insecure about his mechanical nature out of fear of being rejected by Rebecca. Ever since Rebecca's assurance that Happy was still the same to her regardless, however, Happy has become more comfortable with being a machine.[8] Being a cat, Happy has a fondness for eating fish and is uncomfortable around dogs,[1] including the Nikora race, despite them being almost unrecognizable as dogs.[9] However, he has no issue with mechanical dogs, such as one he dances together with on Granbell.[10]
Happy often uses the catchphrases "Aye" or "Aye sir" as a form of affirmation.[1]
Synopsis
History
Happy was a cat found by Rebecca when he was young. He instantly became friends with her due to them sharing common life events. He received his name "Happy" from Rebecca for making her happy by becoming her friend. Sometime later, an accident occurred where a drunk driver ran over Happy, which ended up killing him. Thanks to Professor Weisz, he was revived into a machine body and continued his friendship with Rebecca.
Happy and Rebecca travel to the Granbell Kingdom in their spaceship, the Aqua Wing, in search of good footage for Rebecca's B-Cube Channel. While there, they take part in many of the park's amenities, including a monster hunt. While on that monster hunt, they are confronted by a large, robotic cat which is quickly destroyed by a strange man with long hair. Happy and Rebecca are shocked by the man's appearance and Happy rejects the man's offer to eat him. Happy and Rebecca are then told that he is the only human present and he asks for Rebecca to be his friend - an offer she refuses and Happy and her head back to the town. Although, the strange man follows them.[11]
When they make it back into the town, they inform the robots there of the man's presence and are informed that the man in question is really Shiki Granbell - the sole human of Granbell Kingdom. After they are formally introduced, Happy, along with Shiki, Rebecca, and the robots of the kingdom throw a celebration. When Shiki falls asleep, Happy and Rebecca are told about Shiki's background and after Rebecca cuts his hair, she and Happy retire to bed. While they are sleeping, they are abducted by Castellan and the rest of the robots of Granbell who are seemingly trying to steal their ship. However, they are rescued by Shiki who tries to sacrifice himself for their sake, but Rebecca tells him that they are friends and the three flee Granbell together.[12]
As the Punishers arrive, Happy, Pino, and Rebecca decide to help Valkyrie's Army fight them. He turns into his Happy Blasters form, allowing Rebecca to shoot down and destroy a group of Punishers. He remains in this form as Baku of the Zaiten Three arrives and attacks everyone. He is held in Rebecca's hands as she's nearly hit by him, only to be saved by an armored man calling himself Arsenal, which the others identify is Weisz.[13]
After Baku is defeated, Happy and the others head to a warehouse. There he lies down, apologizing as he has run out of Ether.[14]
When Rebecca wakes up, Happy asks if she's okay, worrying for his friend.[16]
Happy and the others run through the halls searching for Labilia, but are soon encountered by Drakken's goons. He transforms into his Blasters mode, where Rebecca and Weisz knock out the remaining members after Shiki takes most of them out. Afterward, they ask one of the goons on the location of the jail cells.[17] They later find Labilia in her cell, perfectly fine, he asks Rebecca if there's something wrong. His attention changes to the call of an old Sibir.[18]
After escaping the giant fish in the Poseidon Nero Sector, he marvels with the others at the sight of the Aoi Cosmos outside their windows, ecstatic at seeing the large quantity of fish.[19] They soon arrive at the Fire Planet, Red Cave, amazed by the pretty view of an ocean.[20]
When Shiki returns and shows what happened to his Aquatic Adaptation Lacrima, Happy is in awe at what happened to it. He listens as Nadia explains that the Mother Ether found a vessel and went inside of it on its own. That the treasure kept here was a part of Mother, saying that it is possible to find Mother as many other pieces like this can be found anywhere across the cosmos, called Relics. These work like a compass to find others, if they find enough and absorb their Ether it might lead them to Mother. Hearing Rebecca complaining about this, he remarks that they did not have any clues before. He listens to Nadia again, where she states that only by absorbing Mother Ether from other places will it change its properties. With this knowledge and something to lead them to Mother, He thanks Nadia. Before they leave, he listens as Witch tells Nadia the truth of what happened to Andrew and is surprised to learn that the body they found from the ship was him. He then watches with everyone the memory chip from the ship and learns what happened. Happy and the others follow after Nadia as runs off and breaks her cable to find Andrew.[21]
They find Nadia by the ship, where Happy remains silent as Witch tells Nadia that it is alright for a machine to love a human and that the android has a heart. He watches as the relic, a candelabra, breaks out of the ship and shines a flash of light, restoring the robots of the planet. It continues to return to the planet to its rightful state, where the water levels start receding, he wonders if the fish will be okay. They look at the sky as the night is ending as he watches the sunrise with everyone. Later, Happy and the others return to the ship and leave the planet.[22]
