Hero of the Week: Kazuma

This week's hero is the reckless "Shell Bullet" from the Lost Ground. I'm talking about one of the most dangerous alter user's on the planet, Kazuma.



I've made it quite clear why I like the hot-headed angry protagonist, so let's talk about Kazuma's other major draw; his ability. With an alloy imbued arm, he is the perfect embodiment of a severely underused ability; thrust. By disintegrating the fins on his shoulder, he can propel himself at ridiculous speeds. This is one of the more badass powers that exist, period.

While Kazuma's rivalry with the other protagonist, Ryuho, is nothing new, the presentation and content of the battles are incredibly entertaining. Nearing the scope of a DBZ battle, these two can cause so much devastation that you find yourself rooting for neither one. Of course at the beginning of the series, Kazuma is the easily the more likable one being the underdog and all while Ryuho is just a smug douche.
