Let's be clear--Galaxian is not the best being to ever exist. He is not the kindest--he is not the most peaceful--he is not the most fulfilling to others.

But he tries to be. He tries to understand love. He tries to protect. And even after failing, he tries to prove to others that he can.

In "Tattu Hitotsu no Omoi", a few lines of lyrics portray this:

"I want to show you that I'll protect you to the end / Even in the middle of the troubles of fulfilling my solitary wish / This is a promise I want to accomplish for the sake of something irreplaceable / I vow to my fast-beating heart that I'll continue to run until I burn out / This is a promise I want to accomplish within the eternal love that I can feel alive here."

Galaxian wants to protect, but finds himself at odds at what it means, so he constantly tries to prove it. His one wish is to...well, it's hard to word at the moment, but he wants. To. Be. Remembered.

For good, not for bad.

And to him, the loyalty god, it means that he must protect those under his care--those he "loves" and "cares for". And at some point, establish a balance between his wish and his vengeance against those trying to hurt those he loves and cares for. Let's face it. Galaxian's scary when he's fighting full-on. But he knows this is contradictory--if he kills someone, he's going against what he believes in.

So does it mean he is able to hurt? Because in any world, no one will comply with his wishes fully, even if one wish he wishes everyone would follow is "Please stop fighting".

And so, in a world where everyone will not cease fighting, he has realized he needs to fight to protect. Yet, he cannot fulfill his "solitary wish"--and so he opts with fighting to show his one wish--that he can protect those he loves to the very end. It is a promise that is irreplaceable. It is more than his duty--it is his desire, one that he believes with his heart (not the physical one)--and one he'll pursue to the end. He will 'continue to run until [he burns] out", in that sense.

And so, that is his definition of love--accomplishing that promise he has made to another he cares for.
