Norba Shino

Norba Shino (ノルバ・シノ, Noruba Shino) was a Tekkadan pilot in Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans. He piloted the ASW-G-64 Gundam Flauros, a Gundam Frame equipped for long-range firepower. He was killed when Rustal Elion’s forces used Dainsleif railguns against Tekkadan in the final battle—one of the first casualties of the Dainsleif barrage that broke Tekkadan’s formation.

Biography

Shino joined Tekkadan and became a capable pilot with the Alaya-Vijnana System. The Flauros’s long-range capability made him valuable in Season 2. His death in the Dainsleif attack highlighted the brutality of the weapon and the inevitability of Tekkadan’s defeat.
