Who is Guyferd
When Kazama Gou was kidnapped by agents of the “Crown”
organization, he was infected with the “Ferra
Parasite” which gave him incredible and monstrous
powers. In addition, Gou also had most of his organic
tissue muscle replaced with artificial (cyborg) parts.
He is considered along with “Death-Ferd”
one of the most powerful of “Crown’s”
super fighters (classified as “Metal-Ferds”).
Kazama Gou was a master
in the “Ken Oh Ryu” (Supreme Fist Strike)
fighting style which drew upon and utilized the five
elemental “energies” (Fire, Water, Earth,
Nature and Metal) as well as the two ethereal elemental
energies (air & star/cosmic) in order to draw
strength.
These energies can be
used to perform a host of ‘waza’ (skills)
that Gou as Guyferd can use to fight opponents.
These seven skills were
called collectively as the “Oki Shichi Sei Ha”
(Seven Supreme Spiritual Attacks). These skills included:
‘Fukaranbu’
(Air Flower Dance) - Utilizing the
energy of Nature, Guyferd would use this air kick
attack to hit an opponent with repeated blows.
‘Retka
Geki’ (Blazing Hit) –
Utilizing the energy of Fire, Guyferd would hit an
opponent with rapid fist thrusts and then finish with
a smashing blow with his right fist.
“Jirai
Shin” (Ground Thunder Shock)
- Utilizing the energy of Earth, Guyferd would use
super speed to deliver this crushing pile driver attack.
“Bakurai
Ha” (Exploding Thunder Attack)
– Utilizing the energy of Metal, Guyferd would
ride the air currents to deliver this flying air kick
against his opponents.
“Sai
Geki Shu” (Smashing Attack Kick)
– Utilizing the energy of Water, Guyferd would
use this flying kick to deliver a devastating blow
to his opponents.
“Geki
Ryu Shu” (Thrusting Dragon Attack)
– Utilizing the energy of Air, Guyferd would
deliver this destructive ‘cross’ hand
chop attack against his enemies.
“Kyoku
Sei Ken” (Ultimate Star Fist)
– Utilizing Cosmic/Star energy, Guyferd can
deliver this, his most destructive attack. Would save
this as his finishing blow.
Guyferd’s main
rival was the mysterious dark figure called “Death-Ferd”.
Death-Ferd is in actuality Kazama Gou’s kidnapped
brother Makoto who was also infused with the ‘Ferra
Parasite’ which transformed him into the ultimate
fighting machine.
Makoto was also a master
of the “Ken Oh Ryu” style of fighting
and in fact was the only one who was trained in and
knew its truest form.
As Death-Ferd, Makoto
could also perform and use the “Oki Shichi Sei
Ha” (Seven Supreme Spiritual Attacks) and also
had a number of other special attacks unique to himself.
Who Are The ‘Crown’:
Masquerading as a legitimate scientific research corporation,
“Crown” is in reality a global crime syndicate
dedicated to ruling the world through the use of genetically
mutated superhuman fighters. “Crown’s”
perverted technology includes the following:
‘Guy-Borgs’
– Kidnapping various skilled martial artists
from around the world, “Crown” used their
advanced technology to “remold” these
fighters into their own personal super soldiers. ‘Guy-Borgs’
had super strength and incredible resilience due in
part to the artificial and genetically enhanced muscle
structure that “Crown” used to replace
their normal human tissue.
‘The
Farra Parasite’ –
Discovered by Crown scientist/archeologist, Zodiac
in South America, this green slime-like substance
had miraculous and unearthly biological properties.
The Farra substance was a parasitic organism that
would feed off of the energies supplied by its host
and would in return infuse its host with extraordinary
powers.
“Mutiants’
– Infused with the ‘Farra Parasite’,
these humans would transform into inhuman fighters
with monstrous abilities. The transformations were
irreversible.
“Crown” is
headed by the mysterious crime lord Vicross. Vicross
was a brilliant criminal mastermind. A gifted martial
artist in his own right, he was a master of the “Byakko”
style of fighting (Tiger Style).
Other notable members
included:
Shion
Kei – “Crown’s”
Mutiant Leader. As beautiful as she is sadistic. A
brilliant strategist and scientist, she was Vicross’
second-in-command. Was later transformed into a half
‘Guy-Borg’, Metal-Shion.
Metal
Master – “Crown”
agent who usurped control of the organization from
Vicross. Was later transformed into the monstrous
Minos, whose “Blues Attack” can crush
armored tanks.
Zodiac
– “Crown’s” chief scientist.
Discovered the ‘Ferra Parasite’ in South
America. In the later half of the series, Zodiac and
“Crown” unearths the Ancient Scientific
Citadel called “Gaea Net” and attempts
to use its ancient technology to cause cataclysmic
disasters around the world thus heralding the mass
infestation of the entire world with the ‘Ferra
Parasite’
