Raj Comics’ ‘Last’ series is considered to be one of the biggest and most ambitious efforts in the history of Indian comics. The first two parts of this series—Last Protector and Earth of the Past—lay the foundation of mystery and adventure that Universe Warrior(Brahmand Yoddha) takes several steps forward. While the heroes in the first two parts are trying to understand and relate to the situation, in this part they go straight into the middle of an intergalactic battle. The presence of legendary heroes in this story—not just Super Commando Dhruv and Nuclear, but also Doga, Inspector Steel, Gagan, and Vinashdoot—makes it truly ‘cosmic’.
Summary of the plot: Tangling threads and emerging threats
The story continues exactly from where the previous part ended. Pole and Parmanu are present at the mysterious site of Mexico’s ‘Chichen Itza’, along with a mysterious alien woman named Kara. Kara tells them that the entire universe has been created by a ‘cosmic imbalance’, which has led to a dangerous process called ‘transfusion’. In this process, creatures of one planet suddenly arrive on another without understanding why or how they got there.
The struggle of the planet Mactriam: Doga and Steel
An important part of the story happens on the planet ‘Mactriam’. Here, two of the toughest and most fearless guardians of Rajnagar—Doga and Inspector Steel—are in the captivity of the macrobots of Mactriam. Nitin Mishra’s writing in this part brings out the thinking and nature of the characters very well. Doga, known for his anger and straight “finishing” attitude, wants to jump straight into the fight. On the other hand, Inspector Steel, like a responsible police officer, tries to find a solution by understanding the situation and communicating.
Gradually, it becomes clear that the inhabitants of Mactriam are not actually enemies, but are themselves frightened. They feel that the Earthlings have forcibly arrived on their planet. Here, it emerges that ‘transfusion’ has caused fear, misunderstanding, and insecurity to spread throughout the universe.
Cape Town: Between innocence and hate
Dhruv, Nuclear, and Kara then reach Cape Town, South Africa. There, they find an alien family from the planet ‘Iodhran’ hiding in a house. This scene is very emotional. It shows that in this crisis, not only Earthlings but also innocent aliens are living under the shadow of fear, away from their homes, in an unknown world. Dhruv, who has always been a symbol of humanity and compassion, assures them of safety.
But this peace does not last long. The invading macrobots of Mactriam reach there as well. This is where Dhruv’s strategic intelligence resurfaces. He gives Parmanu and Kara the responsibility of taking the Iodhran family to safety, and himself traps those giant machines in the narrow valleys of Cape Town’s ‘Table Mountain’. It highlights Dhruv’s identity—always responding to power with intelligence.
Front of the planet Hejtro: Gagan and Destroyer
Another part of the story opens on the planet ‘Hejtro’. Here, Earth’s hero Gagan and the alien warrior Destroyer (Vinashdoot) are fighting to save thousands of hostages taken by Earthlings. The rulers of Hejtro are shown to be extremely cruel and merciless. They blame the Earthlings for their condition and, in revenge, send a murderous detachment to Earth to eliminate the ‘survivors’—i.e., Pole and Nuclear.
Character analysis: protagonists and their challenges
Super Commando Dhruv: In this part, Dhruv comes across not just as a warrior, but as a commander. He tries to create harmony between different planets, cultures, and languages, and takes on the burden of preventing things from worsening.
Parmanu: Parmanu’s state is the most complex. Her growing powers are now causing pain and danger to her own body. She is like a ‘ticking bomb’, which can explode at any time.
Kara: Kara’s character emerges stronger in this part. She is not just a way-finder, but also has the power to control cosmic energy. In difficult times, she stands like a shield for the heroes.
Doga and Steel: The banter, conflict of thinking, and strange friendship between these two also bring light humor to the story while maintaining tension.
Drawing and technical side
The portrayal by Dheeraj Verma is seen at its peak in these comics. Universe Warrior’s visuals give the feel of a grand sci-fi movie. He has created macrobots and alien spacecraft in such detail that they look both scary and completely modern. Showing distant planets like Hejtro and Mactriam with different colors and special textures clearly demonstrates his artistic understanding. Whether it is Pole chasing machines on Table Mountain or sky-high competitions on the planet Hejtro, all these action sequences feel extremely lively and fast-paced.
Along with this, the color combination by Bhakta Ranjan completely captures the serious and exciting atmosphere of the story. The contrast between the dark blue shadows of space and the orange glow of destructive explosions makes the scenes more impressive.
Scientific and philosophical aspects
Nitin Mishra did not limit this story to just action, but also raised some deep questions through it. The ‘transfusion’ concept clearly seems a metaphor for the refugee crisis. When people from one planet reach another under compulsion, conflict and war start due to lack of resources and fear. This comic shows, in a very simple way, that in reality ‘ignorance’ is the biggest root of war.
Climax and the entrance of Nagraj
The climax of the story unfolds at the ruins of the ‘SAT’ (S.A.T.I.) institute in Delhi. Dhruv, Parmanu, and Kara reach the machine, which is the real reason for this entire destruction. As Parmanu comes into contact with that machine, she screams in unbearable pain. At the same time, the combined forces of different planets descend from the sky, aiming to completely eliminate the heroes.
When things seem completely out of hand and Kara begins to lose her last protective shield, a shocking turn occurs. From the sky descends a ‘Nagarassi’ (Snake-rope) and destroys one of the attackers’ crafts in an instant. This moment signals the arrival of Raj Comics’ biggest hero, Nagraj. This cliffhanger is so powerful that the reader becomes restless to read the next part, World Protector.
Critical assessment: power and limitations
Positive side:
The series is one of the grandest and most ambitious stories Raj Comics has ever seen. Its huge canvas and epic-like expanse pull the reader completely into its world. Giving every character the right importance and enough ‘screen time’, even while bringing so many big heroes into a single story, is a commendable achievement of the author. Along with this, the way suspense is gradually deepened in every part maintains the reader’s curiosity until the end.
Downside:
Despite these merits, the story also has some limitations. Its science- and fantasy-filled vocabulary can sometimes be a bit difficult for younger readers. Also, events happen so quickly and simultaneously in different places that extra attention is sometimes needed to understand all the links together. This complexity gives depth to the story, but also demands more concentration from the reader to follow its flow.
Conclusion: A masterpiece of Raj Comics
Universe Warrior is not just an entertaining comic; it is clear evidence of the growing maturity of the Indian comics industry. It shows that our heroes have the power to save the entire universe, not just from criminals of the streets.
Nitin Mishra’s balanced writing and Dheeraj Verma’s brilliant art together make this comic a collectible work. If you are a fan of the Servnayak series, this part is absolutely mandatory for you. This story also teaches that unity is the power that can stop even the biggest threat to the universe.
Final rating: 4.9/5
Nagraj’s entry has taken the series to a point where the future story promises to be epic.
