History

SSSS.DYNAZENON

Kaiju Eugenicists minus Gauma on top of the head of a Kaiju in the past

Juuga, alongside his fellow Kaiju Eugenicists, Gauma included at the time, brought fortune to a certain country through the use of their power to control Kaiju 5000 years ago, leading the neighboring country to refer them as "dragon controllers". Juuga used to look up to Gauma as well. The princess of their country became interested in the power, but then the Kaiju Eugenicists were betrayed by the country, while also betraying the country themselves. Gauma, having shifted his loyalty to the princess over his comrades, killed them and then fell over, and seemingly died, gaining the scars on his face in the process.^{Which Memories Do You Regret?}

5000 years later, Gauma and the Kaiju Eugenicists were revived in the modern day. They now consider Gauma to be a traitor for piloting Dynazenon to fight against their Kaiju.

The Kaiju Eugenicists were behind the attacks of Shalbandes and Greyjhom before they revealed their presence to the Dynazenon pilots, and branded Gauma a traitor. ^{What is a Kaiju User?} Juuga wondered how Yomogi Asanaka, Yume Minami and Koyomi Yamanaka were able to pilot Dynazenon, a supposed "Kaiju" in their perspective, and started to wonder if they were Kaiju Users like them. Later on, Juuga went to Fujiyokidai High School where Yomogi and Yume were studying to look for the boy, to ask him what happened to Gauma that made him betray them, but Yomogi had to go off to work. Juuga considers recruiting the three of them as fellow Kaiju Users. ^{What is a Traitor?}

After Garnix's defeat, Juuga left the team to find Gauma and apologize but Gauma refused to hear any of it and started to beat him instead. Disappointed, Juuga left. Juuga and the other three Kaiju Eugenicists attempt to use Instance Domination on Gagula, but realize Sizumu is inside. They allow themselves to be devoured by Gagula for it to power up into its second form. However, they still lose to Gridknight and Dynarex. The Kaiju Eugenicists are destroyed along with Gagula. ^{What Wish Can't Come True? What Was I Entrusted With?}

  • During the live performance of "Imperfect" at SSSS.DYNAZENON SHOW, Masayoshi lampshaded this by wearing a replica of Juuga's outfit.
• Juuga's vision started to deteriorate later in his life, which is why he wears glasses when revived in modern times. ^{Voice Drama 10.01}
