Raj Comics created a new record in Indian superhero stories through its ‘Aakhri’ series. The journey began with ‘Aakhri Rakshak’ and reached the eighth and last issue, ‘Universe Code’ (The Universal Code). This issue shows not just the end of the story, but also the wonderful combination of sacrifice, duty, science, and mythological beliefs. While the entire world was scattered on different planets due to ‘transfusion’, this number tells the story of bringing back the balance of the universe by connecting those scattered parts.
Plot expansion: Final conflict
The story begins from where ‘Universe Oblivion’ ended. The most powerful hero of the universe, ‘Nukyam’ (Vinay), has now become the biggest weapon of the enemy. The ‘Vikrit’ (a combination of see-through and Professor Ibrit Vikaral) has captured the body of Parmanu and its unlimited ‘Brahma-particle’ energy.
The Great War in Space: Power vs. Perverted
The very first pages of the issue show a great battle. There is a fierce battle between the goddesses ‘Shakti’ and ‘Vikrit’ (in the body of Parmanu). The author has shown the clash of the great form of ‘Shakti’ and the demonic powers of the pervert in a very interesting and powerful manner. Dhruva and Nagraj watch this war and understand that it is difficult to defeat the pervert directly because he is shielding the body of Parmanu.
Dhruv’s strategy and the entry of ‘Ninja Dev Kirishi’
Super Commando Dhruv, famous for his intelligence, takes the big step here. He knows that the pervert must be defeated mentally, not physically. Through his mental waves, he summons ‘Ninja Dev Kirigi’ (Ninja Dev Kirigi). Kirigi, who was unconscious in the vacuum of space, is awakened by contact with Dhruva.
Dhruv tells Kirigi to use his yogic powers (Yogic Powers) to entangle the mental form of the deformed in the body of Parmanu. This part shows the wonderful confluence of ‘Yoga’ and ‘Vigyan’ in the story.
The mystery of ‘Kara’: The truth of Kritika
‘Kara’ (Kara) remained a mystery throughout the series. This issue reveals that the real Kara was already dead. The Kara who was currently helping the heroes was actually Professor Vikral’s assistant, Kritika. Before dying, the real Kara had given her memories and knowledge to Kritika through a bracelet.
This revelation gives emotional strength to the story. Kritika, who was a normal human, now acts like the cosmic warrior under the influence of Kara’s memories. She helps the heroes to ‘reverse’ (reverse) the settings of the collider machine.
Front of other planets: Doga, Steel, and Tiranga
The main heroes are fighting in space, while planets like ‘Mactriam’ and ‘Hedjtro’ are being fought over by Doga, Inspector Steele, Tiranga, and other cosmogonists (Parshuram, Checker, Gagan, Adig).
Doga: Here the ‘stubbornness’ and ‘passion’ of Doga have been given a new definition. He fights machine attackers, saying that “strength comes not from physical force, but from willpower.”
Mr. Rasayan: The impact of Mr. Rasayan, who was martyred in the previous issue, is still visible. The heroes continue the fight, inspired by his sacrifice.
Tiranga and Shroud: Seeing the bravery of the Tiranga on the planet Hejtro, the aliens realize that “Earthlings may be behind in technology, but no one in the entire universe has the weapon of ‘humanity.'”
Climax: The ultimate sacrifice of Parmanu
The most emotional and decisive part of the story comes when Dhruv and Nagraj understand that Parmanu must go to the collider machine to completely stop the process of ‘transfusion’. Now the body of Parmanu has completely become the reactor of ‘Brahma-Kan’.
After being freed from the possession of the pervert, Parmanu (Vinay) understands his destiny. He knows that if he stays on Earth, his energy will destroy the entire planet. Dhruv and Nagraj try to stop him, but Parmanu says, smiling—
“Only one human had the strength to challenge even certain death with a smile, perhaps that’s why people called him Wunderman.”
Parmanu flies to the infinite depths of space. He sends psychic messages to his girlfriend, Sheena, and then ends himself with a massive explosion. This scene is the saddest and proudest moment in the history of Raj Comics. A hero sacrificed himself to save his entire civilization.
The return of inner humanity and the glimpse of ‘Sarvanayak’
The cosmic imbalance ends with the explosion of Parmanu. All the earthlings return to their homes. Life returns again on the streets of Delhi, Rajnagar, and Mumbai. But the price of this victory was very big—mature martyrdom.
The last page of the comics sees ‘Tiliramdev’ and some other mysterious characters, indicating that this is not the end, but a new beginning of the ‘Sarvanayak’ (Sarvanayak) saga.
Art and portraiture
Hemant Kumar and Sushant Panda’s artwork gives an epic feel to ‘Brahmand Samhita’. The war between planets, laser rays, and the glowing body of Parmanu are shown in great detail.
The artists have deeply depicted the last departure of Parmanu from Sheena and the restlessness hidden in the eyes of Dhruv-Nagaraj. The ‘half-face’ look of Parmanu looks scary and impressive after it is captured by the deformed body.
Bhakta Ranjan’s color combination is also fantastic. The heroes’ blue and green clothes create a beautiful contrast with the orange and yellow glow of the explosions.
Character analysis: The Trinity of Heroes
Parmanu: The central protagonist of the entire series. His journey from an ordinary scientist to a cosmic martyr is very impressive. His martyrdom made him one of the ‘immortal’ heroes of Raj Comics.
Super Commando Dhruv: Dhruv again proves why he is called ‘Captain’. Without a superpower, his strategy outwitted the greatest threat to the universe.
Nagaraj: Nagaraj’s seriousness and leadership abilities emerge in this issue. Despite understanding the sacrifice of Parmanu, he is unable to stop it, because his first religion is ‘protection of humanity’.
Critical assessment
Positive side (Pros):
All the mysteries of the story like Kara, Brahma-Kan, and Perverted have been clearly explained. Heroes like Doga, Steel, and Tiranga have been given due respect and role. The sacrifice of Parmanu leaves a deep impression on the hearts of the readers.
Downside (Cons):
The philosophical and scientific discussions on the final pages are a bit long, which some readers may find overwhelming. The ending may be difficult for die-hard fans of Parmanu to digest, but it was necessary in terms of the story.
Conclusion: An immortal work of Raj Comics
‘Brahmand Samhita’ is not just the closing issue, but a testament to the creative potential of Raj Comics. The ‘Aakhri’ series took Indian comics to heights where it can compete with any global franchise. This series teaches that whether the crisis is cosmic or personal, in the end it is ‘unity’ and ‘sacrifice’ that save the world.
Congratulations to Nitin Mishra, Stuti Mishra, and the entire art team for this masterpiece. This series will remain the standard (Benchmark) for future generations.
Final rating: 5/5
