OVA
Description
Taiso is a superhuman esper and member of the International Police Organisation's elite Experts of Justice, also belonging to the Big Nine, a group whose power rivals the Magnificent Ten of the opposing organization Big Fire. He harnesses bio-electricity within his body, channeling it for combat or practical applications like restoring damaged equipment when critically injured.
Acting as a fatherly figure, he guides and reassures Daisaku Kusama during missions. Tetsugyu regards him as an older brother despite no blood relation, a dynamic extending to his marriage to fellow warrior Youshi Simenju. Taiso carries a gourd of sake essential for summoning his powers and communication. His personality blends wisdom with boisterousness, marked by a wild yet honorable demeanor.
His history features a bitter rivalry with Alberto the Impact of the Magnificent Ten. Taiso killed Alberto's closest friend Cervantes and gouged out Alberto's right eye, sparking a long feud. Defending the Interpol Peking base against Alberto's attack left Taiso severely injured, though he used his electrical abilities to briefly restore the base's systems.
During the Shanghai operation against the Eye of Volger, Taiso volunteered to remain behind as comrades retreated. He confronted Alberto one final time, aware his injuries put him at a disadvantage. His objective was not victory but delaying Alberto from disabling the magnetic webbing containing the Eye of Volger. Mortally wounded by Alberto's shockwave attack, Taiso succeeded in his mission. He lost consciousness as the Eye of Volger fired its blast wave, vaporizing him alongside most of Shanghai. His sacrifice ensured the containment device stayed active long enough for the Experts' plan and catalyzed character development in Daisaku and Tetsugyu.
Ranked among the strongest Experts of Justice, Taiso specialized in the "Funshaken" ("Jet Fist") martial art, leveraging superhuman speed augmented by his electrical powers. He viewed Alberto as a worthy opponent, their mutual respect persisting until their final encounter.
