Arc-by-arc updates

Final Saga — Egghead Buster Call (Ch. 1108) — first appearance

• Reports the comm lines are down — “Either they got blasted, or hit by giants… The lines are down” — and that the ship from Elbaf is on the northeast coast (p. 10).
• Note: it is the Marine officer with him (smoking), not Urban, who recalls his former giant superior Saul.

Notes

• Etymology : “Urban” (romaji Uruban, ウルバン) most likely references Orban/Urban, the Hungarian gun-founder who cast the giant bombard known in Japan as the “Urban Cannon” (ウルバン砲) used to breach the walls at the 1453 Siege of Constantinople — fitting his cannon-based ability. This breaks the dog-breed naming pattern of his fellow Egghead VAs (Hound, Tosa, Pomsky, Doberman). Confidence: medium (Wiki frames it as a likely, not confirmed, reference).
