Overview

Hailing from the Kaguraku, Sejuurou was a renowned pilot, winning ten times consecutively in an annual Zoid tournament held within the town's coliseum. Though he originally sought fame and glory, he retired early after accidentally killing his pupil, Jirou. Changed by this unfortunate event, he disappeared soon after, living simply in the wilderness as a reclusive swordsman. However, his legacy wasn't forgotten, as he is still recognized as the strongest Zoid pilot in all of history.

After saving Ruuji Familon from a group of wild Elephanders, he joins the group in search of a mechanic who can fix Mirodo Village's Reggel generator. In addition, he decides to begin training Ruuji along the way, only after hearing from Kotona that Ruuji is "different," and wishes to become stronger so that he can protect his home village. He suffers from a life-threatening disease that seems to cause him pain on occasion.

Personality

A man of few words, Seijuurou comes off as a silent, aloof individual. After his disappearance, he chose to live alone in the forest in what appears to be a self-made and traditionally styled home, constructed mostly of stone. On several occasions in episode 10, he was plagued by the memory of his pupil, as Ruuji's begging to become his student reminded him of the deceased Jirou. Seemingly ashamed for his mistake, he loathes those who seek power, claiming that strength is meaningless. Nonetheless, he appears to have faith in Ruuji, for he agreed to take him in as his student, noting that his training would prove to be harsh and strict. At one point, he warns his new pupil that if one day of training is missed, it will take three days to make up.

He is also a master swordsman, able to slice through bamboo stalks with a single stroke using his katana. Though he has a deadly disease, he goes to a great extent to hide the problem.

Ability as a Zoid Pilot

Even after his retirement, Seijuurou's talents as a Zoid pilot have not degraded. He is one of the (if not the most) skilled warriors within Ruuji's group, using his Soul Tiger's speed and agility to overwhelm his enemies. On several occasions, he manages to take out opponents with a single blow, including Zoids much larger than his own.

Thoughout the series, he mentors Ruuji, passing his knowledge to his new student, managing to influence a great improvement in the boy's ability. In addition to making Ruuji perform several tasks with his Zoid (such as carrying the Soul Tiger on the Murasame Liger's back), Seijuurou also spars with Ruuji in order to teach him how to control his Liger's Evolt.

Relationships

Like all characters, Seijuurou has his own relationships:

Ruuji: After he accepts Ruuji's wishes to become his student, Seijuurou trains him intensely. The two seem to share a common mentor-pupil relationship; Ruuji has great respect for his teacher, while Seijuurou sees potential in Ruuji.
