NOVEL NEXT Chapter 190: Chapter 172: Hidden Sentai in Z-Man 2
Saturday, February 8, 1992
After unlocking King Ranger and completing the game with him, Nagi was eager to see what new Sentai he had unlocked. His heart raced as he navigated to the character selection screen. Sure enough, another mysterious new Sentai had appeared.
This one was unlike any he had seen before—a white Sentai with black engravings and a scarlet visor. His name? Z-Man Killer.
Nagi's eyes widened. "Whoa! This one looks insane! And why is his name Z-Man Killer?!"
Without hesitation, he selected Z-Man Killer, and his character profile appeared on the screen.
Z-Man Killer - Bio & Abilities
Z-Man Killer
Name: Mikoto Nakadai
Weapon: Wing Pentact (Quill Blade)
Element: Chaos
Mecha: Bakuryu Top Galer
Bio:
Born as a genius, Mikoto Nakadai always found life too easy—top grades, best opportunities, and nothing ever truly challenging him. But he always loved one thing: villains in hero stories.
One day, his life changed when he witnessed ZA WARUDO's Sentai, Maskman, fighting against monsters. Something inside him ignited—a desire not to fight alongside them, but against them.
A monstrous alien known as Evolian approached him, offering him forbidden power. Mikoto accepted without hesitation, The Evolian expecting him to be transformed into a mindless monster. However, instead of losing himself, he mastered the chaotic energy within him, transforming into an ultimate wicked warrior.
Grinning at his newfound strength, he betrayed Evolian, slaughtering him on the spot. He then declared himself "MaskKiller"—the sworn enemy of Maskman.
For years, MaskKiller clashed with Maskman, but strangely, he often killed monsters before Maskman could, as if he was competing with them. His existence confused even his enemies—was he a villain, an anti-hero, or something else entirely?
When Maskman disbanded, Mikoto set his sights on a new target—the Z-Man team.
Thus, he renamed himself "Z-Man Killer," vowing to crush the strongest Sentai warriors in history.
Nagi gasped. "This guy is totally unhinged! I love how unique the hidden Sentai are!"
Z-Man Killer - Gameplay & Special Moves
Jumping into gameplay, Z-Man Killer had a fast, aggressive melee style, making him one of the quickest Sentai in the game.
Basic Attacks: Rapid slashes with his Quill Blade.
Jump Attack: Fires a red energy slash from his blade.
Downward Air Attack: Slashes downward with a chaotic energy trail.
Charge Attack: Summons four red chaos quills, launching them forward in a spread pattern.
1 Orb Hisatsu Waza: Chaos Beam
Z-Man Killer's visor flashes, charging up a concentrated red chaos beam before firing it forward in a straight line.
2 Orb Chou Hisatsu Waza: Chaos Flash
He gathers pure chaos energy into a tiny, compressed orb, hurling it at the enemy. Upon impact, it explodes into a massive, swirling vortex of destruction!
"Holy crap! His attacks are insane!" Nagi grinned.
Z-Man Killer's Mecha Battle - Bakuryu Top Galer
Unlike other Sentai, Z-Man Killer pilots a robotic pterodactyl—Bakuryu Top Galer.
His Mecha Ultimate Attack is:
"CHAOS HURRICANE!"
Top Galer spins rapidly, charging with chaotic energy, before dive-bombing the enemy in an explosive strike!
After beating the game with Z-Man Killer, another Sentai unlocked—Black Knight!
"Whoa, this one has a cape?! So cool!"
Black Knight - Bio & Abilities
Black Knight
Name: Hyuga Minami
Weapon: Bull Riot (Morphing Weapon)
Element: Raw Power
Mecha: None
Bio:
Once the Red Maskman, Hyuga Minami was a proud and just warrior. But his life took a tragic turn when his lover was killed during a battle against the Jigen Monster.
Overcome with grief, Hyuga pleaded with his leader, Momoko (Pink Mask), to stop and focus on healing his lover. But Momoko refused, stating that if they didn't kill the Jigen Monster, more lives would be lost.
Heartbroken and furious, Hyuga threw away his Mask Changer, refusing to fight. He carried his lover to safety, but it was too late—she died in his arms.
For years, Hyuga isolated himself in the forest, trying to find peace. One day, a legendary Black Bull Knight spirit appeared before him, deeming him worthy of becoming its successor.
Hyuga took up the mantle of the Black Knight, wielding the Bull Riot, a shape-shifting weapon infused with raw power.
Unlike the Z-Man team, he had no desire to fight in battles. Instead, he dedicated himself to protecting civilians, standing between the weak and the forces of destruction, when Z-Man fighting against monster Black Knight helping civilians to evacuated and protect them.
ZA WARUDO continuously tried to recruit him into Z-Man, but he always refused. "I protect. I do not attack."
"Damn, this guy is a lone wolf! And he doesn't have a mecha?!" Nagi gasped.
Black Knight - Gameplay & Special Moves
Unlike other Sentai, Black Knight's weapon can transform into multiple forms:
Greatsword Mode: Normal attacks deal heavy slashes, also his normal weapon mode
Shield Mode: Charge Attack turns his weapon into a shield, allowing him to charge forward and absorb damage.
Hammer Mode: His Downward Air Attack changes the weapon into a massive hammer, slamming into enemies with raw force.
1 Orb Hisatsu Waza: Bull Spin
He spins rapidly with his Greatsword, striking enemies with unstoppable momentum!
2 Orb Chou Hisatsu Waza: Bull Might Hammer
His weapon transforms into a colossal war hammer, glowing with power. He grows in size, then slams the hammer into the ground, sending a shockwave across the battlefield!
Black Knight's Mecha Battle - Himself?!
Instead of summoning a mecha, Black Knight himself grows into a giant warrior!
"HOLY CRAP! THAT'S WHY HE DOESN'T HAVE A MECHA—HE IS THE MECHA!" Nagi screamed.
With one hidden Sentai left to unlock, Nagi could barely contain his excitement.
"What other secrets does Z-Man have?!"
He continued playing, determined to uncover every last hidden warrior.
