Zama, Show

ショウ・ザマ

Show is the young protagonist of the series. Before arriving in Byston Well, he lived in Tokyo and enjoyed motocross racing. One night, while riding his motorcycle through the city, he was pulled to Byston Well to serve as a mecha pilot under the command of regional overlord Drake Luft. He soon discovers Luft's evil motives and switches sides, joining Nie Givun and his freedom fighters in their resistance against Luft's military advances. Over time, and through battle experience, Show's Aura Power increases to near-infinite levels, while his control over it correspondingly weakens. Also, during the series, he returns to Earth twice, but his already strained and dysfunctional relationship with his estranged parents (one of whom may be American) crumbles completely when they refuse to believe that he is not an impostor (he was believed dead during the "accident" where he and his motorcycle disappeared—drawn to Byston Well). To further complicate matters, he comes to harbor intimate feelings for Marvel. However, the stresses of war prevent them from actively pursuing their relationship.
