This article is about a Sazer in Chouseishin Gransazer. |
Tenma Kudo (弓道 天馬, Kudō Tenma?) is Sazer-Tarious (セイザータリアス, Seizā Tariasu?) and leader[3] of the Flame Tribe.
Personality[]
History[]
Tenma Kudo is a freeter who is a part-time rider for Jet Express, and dreams of becoming a motorcycle racer.[1][2][4] A little short-tempered, short-sighted and fearless, but not good with dogs.[4][5] After accidentally delivering a courier to Dr. Horiguchi, he was attacked by Remls and Velsou, and awakened.[6]
He is a carefree modern kid-type who can't stand still with a rough and hot personality that is characterized by spirit and guts. At first, he refused to fight as the Gransazer, but he was originally a hot-blooded guy who hates losing and has a strong sense of justice and responsibility. Because he was twice as strong, he decided to fight out of anger at the Wind Tribe, and eventually led 12 people as a leader.[1][2][4] For some reason, he and the others often acted as unjoined, and there were many conflicts[2], but they gradually became aware of each other toward the end. According to him, it seems that if he is hit, he will hit back.[2]
After special training with Mika, he showed an almost equal fight with professional martial artist Naoto. His potential is high even among warriors, and his ability was bought by Kou. There is a feeling that he want to cherish Garuda, his Chouseishin, as much as his favorite motorcycle. In the episode 50, he was shot down by Cabreon while heading to space to negotiate with Warp Monarch in the Flame-Triber, but he survived in the final episode.
