Stationed on planet Telezart to intercept the Yamato/Argo, General Zurvival—scar-faced and known as Zabaibaru in Japanese media—commands a tank contingent. His forces clash in intense ground combat against Earth’s space cavalry led by Hajime Saito. Zurvival directs both manned battle tanks and unmanned armored infantry combat vehicles during the Battle of Telezart. His personal command tank mounts three heavy gun barrels and a laser machine gun, exhibiting surprising speed and agility despite its size. The battle concludes with Zurvival fighting alongside his troops until their decimation. He then confronts Saito in a pistol duel, resulting in Zurvival’s death at Saito’s hands. The name Zabaibaru originates from the word "survival," reflecting his combative role. In the Star Blazers English adaptation, he is renamed General Scorch; his narrative remains unchanged, appearing exclusively in the Telezart campaign under Emperor Zordar’s Comet Empire. No expanded backstory, character development, or appearances in films, OVAs, or spin-offs are documented.
