Seven Star Fighting God Guyferd




Shichisei Tōshin Guyferd (Seven Star Fighting God Guyferd) was made by Toho and Capcom, and aired on TV Tokyo in 1996. Guyferd borrows aspects from Bio Booster Armor Guyver (another Tokusatsu) and Fist of the North Star (manga). Only lasted 26 episodes. Gou Kazama studied the Ken'nou-ryu technique of karate with his elder brother Masato. Gou's transformation into Guyferd is a result of his Guyborg modified body merging with the parasite Fallah, which he was infected with during his travels in Peru prior to the series.


Zodiac is the ruler of Crown, he was a scientist who discovered the Fallah symboite in South America and intended to use it to evolve humanity, developing a god complex and ideology based on natural selection. To achieve that goal, he had Crown unearth the Ancient Scientific Citadel intending to use its ancient technology to cause cataclysmic disasters around the world thus heralding the mass worldwide infestation of Fallah. Megumi Shion is the one who took Shiroishi's place in Fallah research, using her Mutiants to capture Gou to research his anatomy to perfect the ultimate soldier project. But once it became possible to infuse a Guyborg with a Fallah, her mission changes to eliminate Gou.

Guyver was originally a manga (albeit, a Tokusatsu-inspired one) and never had a Japanese live-action version, although it did had two Tokusatsu-inspired American film versions. It's closest there will ever be to a 100% original American tokusatsu. Probably deserves some coverage in this blog.
