Black Buster Corps

The Black Buster Corps (ブラックバスター隊 Burakku Basutā Tāi) were the TPC's third attack team founded by Gondo Kihachi. The team specializes in piloting GUTS Shadow, a modified GUTS Wing created for stealth attack. The team's badge logo is a TPC Logo with purple background and white linings. They appeared in Ultraman Dyna.

History

Ultraman Dyna

The team itself made their debut when they launched to rescue Ryo and Kariya, whom both piloted a GUTS Eagle Gamma from Clone Daigerun. They used the GUTS Shadow and destroyed the monster. Gondo introduce them to Super GUTS later along with Kenji Fudo, the younger brother of Asuka's late rival, Takeru Fudo. Super GUTS sent Kenji and Shin into space onto an asteroid where Yamazaki's transmission took place. Shortly after the duo landed in a secret hanger, the warhead containing Evolu cells was found. Once Kenji and Shin shot down Zomborg Soldiers, they made their way to the mad doctor only for him to trap Shin and convince Kenji to slide his gun away from him. After Yamazaki and Kenji had a gunfighht and wounded each other from their guns, the mad scientist used the syringe containing Evolu cells and injected it into himself, turning into Zomborg. Ultraman Dyna battle the mutant and finally stopped the missile from reaching Earth. Kenji was alive with his right hand injured. He had changed his view towards Asuka and quit the Black Busters. ^{The Light and Shadow of the Youthful}

Despite the team being one of the best attack team in Ultraman Series history, but it defected to a more antagonistic role as seen when Gondo sent them to capture Asuka in order to create Terranoid. However, the team met it's downfall when Zeluganoid attacks the TPC Mars base. Though they tried their best to attack Zeluganoid with GUTS Shadow's ambush technique, but Zeluganoid was able to outsmart the troops. ^{Final Chapter I: A New Shadow}

Reika, the last surviving member of Black Buster guided Ryo to Daigo's home where Asuka was sheltered. She gave Ryo her GUTS Shadow in order for her to return to her teammates. ^{Final Chapter II: Solar System Annihilation}

What had happened to the division was remained unknown but it can be presumed that it had been disbanded after most of the members founded secretly aided Gondo in his inhumane act or killed in action.

Members

Captain Reika Saeki (サエキ・レイカ隊長 Saeki Reika Taichō) was the female captain of the unit. She was the sister of Saeki who engineered Project F in the first place.

She led her troops against Zeluganoid when it was attacking TPC facilities on Mars. She survived till the Kaiju's demise and was the only surviving member. Reika later guided Ryo to Daigo's home where Asuka was sheltered. Afterwards, she gave Ryo her GUTS Shadow.

Kenji Fudo (フドウ・ケンジ Fudo Kenji) is the brother of Takeru Fudo, Asuka's rival who died in an engine trouble when he was the test pilot for the prototype of the GUTS Eagle Alpha-Superior. Kenji had a great hatred towards Asuka just like his late brother, but later changed after he was sent with Asuka to arrest Yamazaki/Zomborg in an asteroid. He survived during Zomborg's rampage and quit the team. He then returned to the Air Force Squad ZERO where he resumed his training in order to achieve further membership into Super GUTS.
