Juza was [[Yuria | Juza was [[Yuria]]'s childhood sweetheart and wished to marry her, but his dreams were crushed when he discovered she was his half-sister from the same father. As a result, Juza descended into a reckless life of promiscuity. The Goshasei believed Juza was the only one capable of stopping [[Raoh]], but Juza, being a free-spirited man, did not wish to fight for the sake of the Last General of the [[Nanto Roku Seiken]]. He later discovered that her identity was none other than his beloved Yuria, and rode into battle against Raoh, who he had known since childhood. Juza was always the perfect foil to Raoh's serious nature, and [[Ryūken]] once said that the two of them were equals. | ||
Juza was famously the first and only man to steal [[Kokuoh|Kokuoh-Go]] from Raoh. Because of this humiliation, Raoh refused to move until his mighty steed returned to him. When Juza returned to finish the battle, he suffered the true extent of Raoh's strength and was defeated. However, he endured Raoh's torture and refused to identify the Last Nanto General before Raoh killed him.

===Juza Gaiden=== | |||
Juza's side story details his life prior to his appearance in Hokuto no Ken. Juza is introduced as the trump card of an opposition army fighting against Raoh, and expresses a stronger playboy attitude than was shown in his appearances in Hokuto no Ken. Central to the plot is his search for Kenshiro, who Juza holds a grudge against for being unable to protect Yuria. | |||
Juza leaves the opposition army after a junior member named Yan tells him about the leaders' plan to keep him there. He eventually stumbles upon a village controlled by Raoh's army and governed by one of Raoh's officers Yona, and after a brief struggle, manages to free the village from the control of Raoh's army. | |||
Eventually, he stumbles across [[Mamiya]]'s village, and is surprised and subdued by Mamiya. [[Airi]] appears, and Juza realizes that [[Rei ]] had died and recalls his tie with the [[Nanto Suichō Ken|Suichoken ]] practitioner. When he brings up Kenshiro's inability to protect Yuria, he is slapped by Mamiya, who, Airi explains, was grieved by Rei's death and associated it with his inability to protect her. This causes Juza to let go of his grudge against Kenshiro and the events of Juza's appearance in Hokuto no Ken follow. | |||
