The coach from hell... this is the best description of Gazelle. He is a brutal taskmaster, who has only one way to play beach volleyball... HIS WAY! And if you don't agree with him... it's too bad... for the unlucky trainee who has him!  3WA Chief Poporo, thru the organizations central ultraframe computer, assigned Kei and Yuri to compete in the Northern Concern's Galaxy Cup championship, the purpose: to arrest the Concern's president, who had a very corrupt reputation. Since the Lovely Angels had no experience in beach volleyball, they were sent to the 3WA's training facility, where Gazelle was waiting for them. He then put the girls through a harsh training regiment, which barely bordered on torture. All the while, Gazelle harshly criticized the Angels, demeaning and insulting them.
