Summary
Gamelan serves as a State Military Officer assigned to the Third Sovereign Battalion in Central City, appearing exclusively in the 2009 anime series. During Episode 56, his team is deployed to provide backup to Führer King Bradley, leading him to attempt the recapture of the Central Command headquarters' main gate from Fort Briggs soldiers. The operation ends quickly, as Gamelan and every member of his platoon are swiftly knocked unconscious by an attack from the newly arrived Fu. In the manga, this narrative function is fulfilled by the recurring character Storch, confirming Gamelan as an anime-only substitution. It is possible that his name is derived from Maurice Gamelin, the French commander-in-chief during the early years of the Second World War.
