History
The main point of divergence between Duke and his TV counterpart's lives occurs when the Vegan Empire launches its first attack against Earth. After detecting an alien fleet approaching the planet, Duke flies Grendizer to space to intercept it. However, by the time he arrives, the Vegan army has already been defeated. Great Mazinger and the Great General of Darkness, who had previously been fighting against each other in the moon, formed a truce and annihilated the Vegan army with ease. Realizing his help is not required, Duke returns back to Earth to continue living as an earthling.

Some point after Maria Fleed finds and rescues Koji from the ocean, he meets Duke and the two of them form a friendship.
