Personality[]

Unlike his antisocial twin, Igo is a kind, helpful and the softer one of the dolphin siblings. He was the first to provide information of incoming dangers to Kyousuke to prevent it, which will become the main task of B.A.B.E.L. after war. It is also noticeable that I-9 had a prolonged argument with I-8 about whether to reveal influential incidents such as the demises of IJA esp corp and the Future. Nevertheless, by the time he meet The Children, he became more negative due to old age, and believes that his prediction, including his death, can't be reversed.

He seems to be kind and loves to play with others. A period after Kaoru and Kōichi meet, he was found by The Children and after that they were swimming in the pool. Taizō knows him and knows his personality the most. He is a medium, which relays the prediction that cost I-8's concentration. He is more focused on Telepathy but he can see into the future. He only uses his powers when he's getting fed fish.

History[]

Death Dolphin

The arc starts with B.A.B.E.L heading to where Ikyūgō resides. This was for the purpose of preventing Ikyūgō's prediction of his own death, this was even more urgent due to the fact that his predictions are said to be 100% accurate. Upon seeing Koichi's optimism and belief on the children, he predicted the future for Kōichi, which must be prevented at all cost.

Upon the day of the predicted death day, Ikyūgō had originally intended to die in a bid to protect Chief Taizo's life when a Normal had been placed on the ship to which the terrorists from the previous day were originally taken to be apprehended. Minamoto had foreseen this in the last second and had Aoi teleport himself on top of Ikyūgō during the moment of the shooting, to shield the Lieutenant from a potentially lethal attack.

The Lieutenant bids Minamoto farewell as he descends to the bottom of the sea while wishing for him to prevent the future he had foreseen and saving his comrade.

At the end of the episode, a dolphin is shown to jump from the sea. Implying that Ikyūgō may have survived the encounter.
