Goura (Zenki Series)

 


Goura is one of the main characters from the Kishin Douji Zenki series. He is an elderly human man with with grey hair, black eyes, a priest robe and a hat. He also wears a necklace, horn-like attachments on his shoulders and has a beard. His robe is also more detailed than Karuma's plain robe.

Goura is a powerful magician, who mainly uses telekinesis to fling rocks at his foes or even to cause small earthquakes. He is a major antagonist of the Karuma ark and Karuma's most experienced servant.

Goura is very wise, but he only acts loyal to Karuma. In Episode 22 of the Anime, he even tries to kill her while she is resting. His plan is foiled when Karuma awakes before he is able to strike.

At the end of Episode 23, Guren reveals Goura as a traitor. This results in the failure Goura's plans to topple Karuma and becoming the leader of the group. Also, Karuma goes ahead and kills him instead.

Goura first appears in Karuma's dimension with Karuma (who is levitating in mid air) and her other servants Guren and Anju standing on three rock pillars, where Karuma gives them orders.

Guren and Goura often get into arguments about who is Karuma's best servant, while Karuma and Anju try to calm them down.


While Goura never appears in the manga, there's actually a character who bears some similarities to him.

There is vampire man, named Chimaru, who at first works for the Shitennou and seems very loyal to the Inugami Roh. He aids the Inugami in battle and being some kind of general, leading the his armies of beastmen (which Raigou is a member of).

Yet the similarities to Goura get obvious when Chimaru later turns out to be a backstabber.

Goura from the anime wants to kill Karuma and, unlike Roh from the manga, she never notices this. This later results in Karuma's truely loyal servant Guren noticing this and simply killing Goura for being a traitor.

While his actual motives in betraying Karuma never come clear, it is different for Chimaru, who only works for the Inugami as he seeks the power of the worldending beast. He wants to control the transformed Kokutei in the Inugami's stead, yet it is unclear what Chimaru wants to do once he acquires the power of the worldending beast.

Nevertheless, Chimaru falls in battle against Zenki and his friends, when he kills Shinsenbou and triggers Goki's wrath, thus in the end, both traitors (Goura and Chimaru) wind up dead.

He appears in two of the SNES Kishin Douji Zenki games, Den Ei Rai Bu and Tenchi Meidou.

Goura is very special in this game, as he is the only character, besides Karuma, who is fought twice in the anime sequence battles.

Karuma's other servant Guren doesn't count here, as he is also fought twice, but his the first battle is an anime sequence battle, while his second battle has him as a jump-and-run boss. This stands in contrast to Goura's and Karuma's battles.

  The   Inugami Roh   is one of the main characters from the   Kishin Douji Zenki series . He is a male Dog Deity with a humanlike appearance, who sports fuzzy, blonde hair, a pony tail and a necklace (which is was a birthpresent from   his mother ). His eyecolor differs depending on his incarnation. While the manga features Roh having violet eyes, all of his other incarnations depict him with blue eyes. The Inugami Roh is also known as simply  Roh  or  the Inugami . He is also known as the "Prince of the Realm of the Dead" or the "Dog Deity Prince Roh", though these are only the case in the anime, where this stems from him being the son of King  Engai , a character, that is only mentioned by name, but is never seen in the actual series.

Kuribayashi (Zenki Series)

  Kuribayashi  is a character from the  Kishin Douji Zenki series . He is a young human man who wears a robe. He is bald and has black eyes. Jukai  is Kuribayashi's mentor. Kuribayashi is also secretly in love with  Chiaki , as in Episode 2 of the anime, he ends up being transformed into the  Hyouijuu Buidou  because of his desire for Chiaki. He sadly never gains the courage to tell her about his feelings. Oddly, Kuribayashi's deep affection towards Chiaki is only present in the anime of the series. The manga mainly handles him as a oneshot character, that rarely appears, if at all. Instead, it features  Akira's  deep affection towards Chiaki, which, while also present in the anime, isn't seen until in the later episodes, as Akira doesn't appear until the second season of the anime. Once Kuribayashi has failed to woo Chiaki in the anime, he never manages to gain the courage to properly speak up to her again.
