Movie
Description
Ryūhō Ryu, born in Osaka, Japan, endured profound trauma during his youth in the Lost Ground following the Great Uprising. Raised in a high-society family poised to inherit generational wealth, his life fractured upon awakening as an Alter User. A pivotal tragedy six years before the main story—a mysterious Alter slaughtering his mother and dog—unleashed his dormant power, manifesting the Alter Zetsuei, named for his deceased pet. This trauma cemented his ruthless pursuit of order, driving him to join HOLY as an enforcer hunting Native Alters.
Cold and solitary by nature, his obsession with control clashed fiercely with Kazuma, a Native Alter mercenary who eluded capture repeatedly. Their rivalry escalated through violent confrontations, sparking a second uprising in the Lost Ground. During the chaos, Ryūhō sustained memory loss, adopting an uncharacteristically compassionate demeanor while shielding a village from HOLY’s corruption. Manipulative allies later restored his memories, yet the experience reshaped his worldview, leading him to abandon HOLY and ally with Scheris Adjani, a former colleague turned steadfast supporter.
Zetsuei underwent transformative stages mirroring Ryūhō’s inner growth. Initially sealed as a humanoid figure with ribbon-like tendrils, it later revealed its serpentine true form, equipped with detachable rocket limbs and heightened combat prowess. A clash with Martin Zigmarl exposed Zetsuei’s nature as a sentient Alter energy construct, unlocking its armored state. Facing Kyoji Mujo, HOLY’s manipulative mastermind, forced Ryūhō to collaborate with Kazuma, their uneasy alliance destroying Mujo and the crystalline entity he controlled.
Post-conflict, Ryūhō and Kazuma formed a temporary pact to repel a Mainland invasion, transitioning from bitter enemies to wary allies. Though their final confrontation’s resolution remained unclear, Ryūhō’s motivations evolved from vengeful rigidity to a tempered understanding of justice, forged through Scheris’ loyalty, Kazuma’s defiance, and HOLY’s systemic rot. His combat prowess relied on rapid injury healing via matter deconstruction and Zetsuei’s adaptive forms, while his emotional barriers slowly eroded into a guarded yet principled commitment to safeguarding the Lost Ground.
