Asougi Goushi

Asougi Goushi (阿僧祇 豪志), known as M (エム) in Gun Gale Online, is one of the main characters of the Sword Art Online Alternative "Gun Gale Online" spin-off series. Goushi is the manager of Kanzaki Elsa's (Pitohui's) office and is her longtime friend. Due to Elsa being unable to take part in the first Squad Jam because of one of her concerts, M was ordered to be LLENN's partner for the tournament, where the two formed a team named «LM». M and Pito later formed a team named «PM4», with M as the team's leader, along with four mercenaries to participate in the second Squad Jam. M also participated in the third Squad Jam with LLENN, Pitohui, and Fukaziroh as a team named «LPFM».

Gun Gale Online


In Gun Gale Online, Goushi's avatar M is a very tall man, his height easily exceeding 190 centimeters, who appears to be over forty years old. He is big, has a very bulky chest and a deep voice. M has a rough face, round and big eyes, as well as wavy, deep tawny-brown hair reaching down his shoulders and covering his head. M wears camouflage pants with a combination of green, brown and black gaudy dots, as well as an entirely brown T-shirt.

Background
Goushi used to be an unfashionably-dressed, heavy, chubby man with plenty of fat on both his nice but childish face and his stomach. One day, he happened to visit a cafe, where he became attracted to Kanzaki Elsa, one of the waitresses working at the cafe, to such an extent that he began to stalk her, memorizing all possible paths on her daily route to be able to follow her without drawing attention to himself by constantly being behind her. When the waitress was one day ambushed by a salaryman, Goushi saved her but was injured during the brawl. Thus, he was offered to get his injuries treated by Elsa at her flat. Entranced by her offer, Goushi followed the girl to her flat. However, when he regained his awareness, he found himself tied up, with Elsa revealing that she was aware of him stalking her. Goushi was then scolded, verbally abused, and beaten by Elsa until morning, when he was released and threatened to not expose her. After that night, Goushi was forced to become the girl's "lover": whenever he was summoned by her, he had to come to her aid each time, regardless of his current situation, thus becoming unable to search for a job or continue his studies at university. However, Goushi enjoyed being of use to the girl he loved and, during the course of completing errands for her, he lost weight and became her manager.

Trivia

 * Initially, LLENN thought M stood for "mapper" due to M's skill at geographical perception ; however, after having learned of Goushi's and Elsa's background, she began to believe that it actually stood "masochist".
 * Goushi's family name, Asougi (阿僧祇), comes from the Hindu/Buddhist name for an incalculable number unit, named Asamkhya (阿僧祇), while his first name, Goushi (豪志), comes from the Japanese word for heroic will (豪快).
