SRT team&#039;s current team leader, callsign Urzu-1, first appearance in the novel &#039;End of Day By Days&#039; and the 2nd anime series Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid, replacing Captain Gail McAllen after his death near the end of the novel &#039;Rocking into The Blue&#039; (and subsequently, the 1st anime series). Pilot of the M9D Falke and was a part of MITHRIL&#039;s Mediterranean Sea Fleet. His first introduction into the team was kind of unorthodox, ticking off Kurz Weber and Sousuke Sagara by saying McAllen was a coward after sitting on the chair he used to sit on while in reality, McAllen was one of his most trusted teammates and a good friend. Proved himself to be an expert martial artist by incapicitating Kurz with just one move and defeating Sousuke and the Arbalest during the &#039;test&#039; which he conducted. He also proved to be a capable leader when he made Sousuke understand why he lost and told him that it wasn&#039;t his skill as they were actually evenly matched in that aspect but rather his hatred for the Arbalest and tells him that an Arm Slave is like a part of their own bodies. Since then Kurz and him don&#039;t really see eye-to-eye, though they have developed a grudging respect for each other&#039;s abilities. It is also known that he &amp; Melissa Mao have known each other since way back. His nickname from Mao was &#039;Bel&#039;. He was also one of the few remaining survivors of the attack on Melida island, along with Melissa Mao, Kurz Weber, Richard Mardukas, Teletha Testarossa and most of the crew of the Tuatha de Danaan at the end of the novel &#039;Continuing on My Own&#039;.    In the TSR OVA, it is revealed that he is an anime otaku in his spare time.    - Wikipedia

This series is set about two months after the events ocurred in the Tuatha de Danaan at the end of the original series. Mithril becomes aware of a secret organization that has technology able to counter the ECS (Electronic Cloaking System) mode. This organization, known as Amalgam, also has "Black Technology", obtained from "Whispered" like Kaname Chidori, and like the other intelligency agencies, they intend to obtain more. However, when Sousuke's mission to protect Chidori is terminated by Mithril, all seems to be in place for Amalgam's plans... Like many of its fans know, it is based of the FMP novel "The End of Day by Day."

Nine months have passed since teen soldier Sousuke Sagara first became Kaname Chidori's covert protector. In that time, Mithril has been remarkably successful at thwarting Amalgam's efforts, but this has only made Amalgam more determined. Leonard Testarossa's visits with Tessa and Kaname are just preludes to all-out attacks that begin with global communications disruptions. Kaname's status as a Whispered makes her one of Amalgam's main targets, which means that any semblance of a peaceful life at Jindai Municipal High School is now over for her.

Tells the same story as Full Metal Panic Second Raid and is as such, also based on the novels The End Of Day By Day. 
Leaving off after the original series, this series tells of Sousuke and Mithril as they fight Amalgam. Like the original series, but both sides have gotten a bit more aggressive...

Jindai High School was a relatively safe place, right up until Sousuke Sagaka transferred there. A total nut, he wreaks havoc on the school's student body and gets into a world of trouble with the teachers! But there's more to Sousuke than meets the eye&mdash;not just a hell-raising student, he's actually a member of an elite military unit, on an undercover mission to protect the beautiful schoolgirl Kaname Chidori from the KGB.

On her day off, Tessa wakes up in her commander chair. After regaining her composure, she notices that her favorite stuffed animal is missing and thus tries to remember what actually transpired the night before. To do so, she will spend time with all the main characters of the Danaan crew, and eventually recalls the events of the previous night.
