: Juza was [[Yuria|Yuria's]] childhood sweetheart and wished to marry her, but his dreams were shattered when he discovered she was his half-sister from the same father. As a result, Juza descended into a carefree and promiscuous lifestyle to bury the pain. 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 Nanto General]]. When he discovered it was none other than his beloved Yuria, Juza swore his life to her and rode into battle against Raoh. Juza had known Raoh since childhood and was always the perfect foil to Raoh's serious nature. [[Ryuken]] once remarked that the two of them were equals. | : Juza was [[Yuria|Yuria's]] childhood sweetheart and wished to marry her, but his dreams were shattered when he discovered she was his half-sister from the same father.

When Juza returned for a rematch, he suffered the true extent of Raoh's strength and was defeated. However, he endured Raoh's torture to the bitter end and refused to identify the Last Nanto General. Raoh described Juza's death as 'terrifying' and ordered his men to prepare an honorable burial for his fallen rival. However, it was this same tenacity that revealed the Last Nanto General's identity to Raoh, as he knew that Juza would only sacrifice his life for Yuria. | ||

: 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''.

: In a flashback, we learn that Juza never knew his father and his mother died when he was small. He was raised by the female owner of a brothel until [[Rihaku]] came looking for a boy with the star birthmark (on his waist) in order to become a [[Nanto Goshasei]] member. Juza would leave the training grounds because no one of the other members could match his strength and because he did not wish to fight for an unknown General. After getting food poisoning in the forest Juza was brought back in a weakened state. Bedridden, Juza would meet Yuria for the first time and open up emotionally. | : In a flashback, we learn that Juza never knew his father and his mother died when he was small.
