OutlineEdit

Smith is the comic relief in Ginga Nagareboshi Gin. He is very sarcastic and often crack jokes to lighten the mood. However, Smith can be very serious in battle. He makes friends easily and gets along with the other dogs, he'd often get into small quarrels with Cross, but they were still very close. In the manga Smith loves her but she does not return this, therefore, nothing happens. In the anime, this was cut out completely. While he is comedic in Ginga Nagareboshi Gin, In Ginga Densetsu Weed, he is much more mellow and almost completely different than his younger self, but he is still a very strong fighter.

Smith is a French spaniel mix, his back is black and his belly is white, his eyes are brown, his ears are long and reach to the bottom of his neck. In Ginga Densetsu Weed, his black fur is a lot darker, his ears are also shorter than when he was younger.

Ginga Nagareboshi GinEdit

Meeting Gin and finding dogsEdit

Smith was Riki's 3rd platoon leader. Gin discovers the wild dog pack one night and decides to join them in defeating Akakabuto. Along their journey, they meet the three kai brothers, Moss, in which Smith and Gin learn that Sniper and Hyena are traitors. This is why Smith is quite close to Gin, since Gin saved him from falling down the large waterfall as Sniper and Hyena chased them to keep them from disposing their devilish plan.

Though Smith told Gin to save himself, Gin refused to let go of Smith and saved him. Smith and the others continue finding other dogs like Akame and helps defeat the Koga clan, and Benizakura, the strongest dog in japan. They return one night before the final battle and prepare to fight.

The final battleEdit

Smith was to have a large role in the battle with Mosa, but was injured by one of the bears during the fight with Madara and is replaced by Hakuro. It's Smith who leads Takeda Gohei to the battle against Akakabuto, not wanting to see his friends die.

The wolvesEdit

After time had passed, Cross and her puppies were kidnapped by a pack of wolves, this led to another conflict between the wild dogs and the wolves, although eventually Smith and the others defeated the wolves and saved Cross.

Ginga Densetsu WeedEdit

Traveling with Weed and deathEdit

Now older, Smith is more mellow, but very stubborn. In the anime, he was the one that escorted Sakura (In the manga, she left Ohu because Lucy told her that Gin had died in the mountains) away from Gajou when P4 was attacking. Smith was forced to leave Sakura to save GB. Smith saved GB from getting run over by a car, and lost his right leg in the process.

Smith then meets Weed when he was fighting the Tosa, Banken, who fled from Smith. Smith later goes inside Gajou to protect Weed from P4. He tricks P4 into collapsing the inside of Gajou, crushing them both. Smith tricked P4 into collapsing the cave by jumping on his back, which made P4 bang Smith's back on the rock walls, causing it to collapse. They both where assumed to have died, but P4 survived. This is where Smith's life ends. Smith's spirit is seen when his and John's spirit encouraged Gin to escape when he was captured by Hougen the first time. His spirit was also seen in the final battle against Hougen and in the ending credits of the anime.
