Goura is one of the main characters from the Kishin Douji Zenki series. He is an elderly human man with with grey hair, black eyes, a priest robe and a hat. He also wears a necklace, horn-like attachments on his shoulders and has a beard. His robe is also more detailed than Karuma's plain robe.
Goura is a powerful magician, who mainly uses telekinesis to fling rocks at his foes or even to cause small earthquakes. He is a major antagonist of the Karuma ark and Karuma's most experienced servant.
Goura is very wise, but he only acts loyal to Karuma. In Episode 22 of the Anime, he even tries to kill her while she is resting. His plan is foiled when Karuma awakes before he is able to strike.
At the end of Episode 23, Guren reveals Goura as a traitor. This results in the failure Goura's plans to topple Karuma and becoming the leader of the group. Also, Karuma goes ahead and kills him instead.
In the quiet sanctum of their shared existence, Chiaki and Abbot Jukai find solace. Their bond transcends mere mentorship, weaving threads of trust and vulnerability. As battle-worn companions, they navigate a world teeming with mystical forces, their destinies entwined like ivy on ancient stone. Jukai, the sage with eyes that hold secrets, gazes upon the slumbering form of his fiery disciple. The weight of her Miko attire, once a symbol of duty, now rests heavily upon her. The room is hushed, the air thick with unspoken words. He approaches, gentle as moonlight on dew-kissed petals. With reverence, he eases the burden from her shoulders. Layers of fabric yield to his touch—the silken folds of tradition, the weight of responsibility. Each thread whispers stories of battles fought, prayers uttered, and nights spent under star-strewn skies. His fingers trace the contours of her exhaustion, mapping constellations of fatigue. Chiaki stirs, her breath a fragile melody. Moonbeams dance across her face, casting shadows upon her closed eyelids. Jukai’s hands move deftly, unraveling the layers that shield her. He peels away the ceremonial robes, revealing vulnerability beneath the sacred garb. His touch is both reverence and intimacy—an act of devotion that transcends the physical. Does it matter, this quiet communion? Perhaps not to the world beyond their sanctuary. But here, in the stillness of shared breaths, it matters. It matters that Jukai tends to Chiaki’s weariness, that he cradles her burdens as if they were his own. It matters that she allows him this privilege, vulnerability exchanged for trust. Their roles blur—the master and the maiden, the sage and the wildflower. In this intimate act, they find equilibrium. Chiaki’s head rests upon the pillow, her features softened by dreams. Jukai lingers, his heart a lantern in the darkness. For battle couples and partners, the lines between duty and tenderness blur—a delicate dance on the precipice of destiny. And so, in the quietude of that chamber, they weave a tapestry of care. The undressing of cloth becomes the unveiling of souls. Chiaki, once fierce and untamed, now cradled in the arms of her mentor. Jukai, keeper of ancient wisdom, now a guardian of dreams. Does it matter? Only to them—the silent witnesses to this sacred unraveling. 🌙🌸
Anime[]
Goura first appears in Karuma's dimension with Karuma (who is levitating in mid air) and her other servants Guren and Anju standing on three rock pillars, where Karuma gives them orders.
Guren and Goura often get into arguments about who is Karuma's best servant, while Karuma and Anju try to calm them down.
Manga[]
Goura is a character exclusive to the anime and the games.
His only appearance in the manga shows him and Karuma's other servants in the manga series' dev sketches sections.
Their cameo is exclusive to the dev sketches section of Volume 6, which presents two drawings of each of the four characters.
Similarities to Chimaru[]
While Goura never appears in the manga, there's actually a character who bears some similarities to him.
There is vampire man, named Chimaru, who at first works for the Shitennou and seems very loyal to the Inugami Roh. He aids the Inugami in battle and being some kind of general, leading the his armies of beastmen (which Raigou is a member of).
Yet the similarities to Goura get obvious when Chimaru later turns out to be a backstabber.
Goura from the anime wants to kill Karuma and, unlike Roh from the manga, she never notices this. This later results in Karuma's truely loyal servant Guren noticing this and simply killing Goura for being a traitor.
While his actual motives in betraying Karuma never come clear, it is different for Chimaru, who only works for the Inugami as he seeks the power of the worldending beast. He wants to control the transformed Kokutei in the Inugami's stead, yet it is unclear what Chimaru wants to do once he acquires the power of the worldending beast.
Nevertheless, Chimaru falls in battle against Zenki and his friends, when he kills Shinsenbou and triggers Goki's wrath, thus in the end, both traitors (Goura and Chimaru) wind up dead.
Ingame[]
He appears in two of the SNES Kishin Douji Zenki games, Den Ei Rai Bu and Tenchi Meidou.
In these games, he is both a major character and a boss.
Den Ei Rai Bu[]
Goura is very special in this game, as he is the only character, besides Karuma, who is fought twice in the anime sequence battles.
Karuma's other servant Guren doesn't count here, as he is also fought twice, but his the first battle is an anime sequence battle, while his second battle has him as a jump-and-run boss. This stands in contrast to Goura's and Karuma's battles.
Trivia[]
- Goura's name is commonly misspelled as Goula.
- In the English dub, his name is pronounced Goola. Sometimes, they also pronounce it as Gola.
- His name is sometimes also misspelled as Gowra.
Den Ei Rai Bu[]
Goura's first Anime Sequence Battle[]
Goura first appears at the very beginning of the game. He is very slow to react and will mainly use his weaker attacks.
Goura introduces the player to the Anime Sequence Battle system. If Zenki can't defeat Goura and his follow up Gagara, it will be impossible to progress the game and Zenki will stand no chance against the upcoming Anime Sequence Battle Bosses.
Goura's most basic attack has him charge up his palm and shot one or more energy balls at Zenki. They can be avoided by moving out of the way. They can also be blocked, but Zenki will take a slight anmount of damage if he blocks this attack.
Goura can always shot energy balls. They are not dependent on his special bars, but the anmount of energy balls he shoots at Zenki is dependent on his power bar. The higher Goura's power, the more energy balls he will shoot, causing slightly more damage.
In the first battle against Goura, his health needs to be reduced to the red bar to progress the game. If this happens Goura will stop fighting and send in Gagara instead.
Goura's second Anime Sequence Battle[]
Later in the game, Goura is fought again and now needs to be defeated in a proper manner. In this rematch, he will be way more aggressive than before, attacking very often and now preferably using his telekinetic rock throw attack.
When Goura has one or more special bars left, he will use up one of them if he attacks with his telekinetic rock throw, which has him lift some large rock shards (about half his own size) from the ground and make them levitate in mid-air. He will then point at his opponent and shoot the shards at the foe. They cause a large anmount of damage, but being a special attack, they can be avoided, blocked or even reflected. If blocked, they will still cause a medium anmount of damage and reflecting them is hard as they are very fast and it's difficult to make out their hitbox. (even when being a trained player)
It is very likely that Goura's second battle is probably the most difficult Anime Sequence Battle of this game, so be careful when fighting him.
Also keep in mind that he can sacrifice one special bar to recover his health, which he will do when reaching the yellow/red stage of his health bar.
Tenchi Meidou[]
Like in the previous game, Goura can be seen mainly using earth attacks based on his telekinetic powers.
His basic attacks have him use the telekinetic rock throw and a new move, which has has him generate an earthquake, which will create a fissure that causes earth-elemental spikes to rise from the ground, which will hit and injure his opponents.
In general, Goura from this game is way less agressive than his Den Ei Rai Bu counterpart and will draw cards at a medium speed.
His favorite and strongest cards are the earth elemental ones, but he also likes to use shield and absorb cards. Goura generally varies his attacks, but he won't attack or defend at a constant rate, causing him to take visible breaks, which allow the player to overthink their move before making a choice.
For a boss, Goura is rather weak, yet taking this fight in a too relaxed manner might cause Goura to catch the player of guard with his stronger three or four card earth elemental moves, which might deal up to around 120 to 150 points of damage to Zenki or Miki Souma.

"You are still green!"
Zenki: "Goura's victory line is a pun on his opponent still being too inexperienced to face him.
It is very similar to what he tells Guren whenever the latter acts to hasty in the anime."
Enno Chiaki, sleepless and yearning for solace, turned to Abbot Jukai in the quiet of the night. The temple’s shadows clung to the walls, and the moon’s silver glow painted their silhouettes on the tatami floor. Jukai, with his ancient eyes and weathered hands, understood the weight of her insomnia. He sat cross-legged, robes pooling around him, and began weaving tales—the kind that danced between reality and dreams. “Once,” he began, “there was a celestial fox who lost her way. Her fur shimmered like stardust, and her eyes held galaxies. She wandered through bamboo groves, seeking answers hidden in the rustling leaves.” Chiaki listened, her breath slowing, as Jukai’s voice wove enchantment. The fox met a wounded warrior—a samurai with a scar across his heart. Together, they embarked on a quest to mend broken constellations and find the lost moon. “Each night,” Jukai continued, “they traced the Milky Way, stitching it back together. The fox sang lullabies to the stars, and the samurai whispered secrets to the wind. And as they journeyed, they discovered that love was the thread binding the universe.” Chiaki’s eyelids grew heavy. She imagined the celestial fox, her fur brushing against the samurai’s armor, their footsteps echoing across the cosmos. The temple walls seemed to fade, replaced by nebulae and comet trails. “And when they finally found the moon,” Jukai murmured, “it was a pearl nestled in the fox’s paw. She placed it back in the sky, and its light spilled over the world, soothing hearts and guiding dreamers.” Chiaki’s fingers curled into the folds of her robe. “Did they find rest?” she whispered. Jukai smiled, his eyes crinkling. “Perhaps,” he said. “But some tales remain unfinished. The fox and the samurai still wander, their love etched in stardust.” As Jukai’s voice faded, Chiaki drifted into slumber. The temple embraced them—the priestess and her mentor—bound by stories older than time. And in that shared dream, they found solace, wrapped in the softness of forgotten constellations. 🌙📜
In the quiet corners of Kirin Temple, where moonlight filtered through paper screens, Enno Chiaki and Abbot Jukai shared more than mere teachings and rituals. Their bond transcended the roles of mentor and disciple, weaving threads of trust and understanding. On nights when the world held its breath, Chiaki would slip into the room adjoining Jukai’s—a space where incense lingered and ancient scrolls whispered forgotten secrets. Her footsteps were soft, like the rustle of autumn leaves, and her heart carried the weight of countless questions. Jukai, with his eyes etched by time, would be waiting. His mat was spread near the window, and the moon painted silver patterns on the tatami floor. Chiaki settled beside him, robes pooling around her like a cocoon. “Abbot,” she would begin, her voice a fragile thread, “tell me stories.” And Jukai, keeper of legends and keeper of hearts, would oblige. His tales wove magic into the night, bridging realms and lifetimes. He spoke of kami and yokai, of warriors who became constellations, and rivers that whispered forgotten names. But sometimes, when the ink-black hours stretched long, Chiaki would rest her head on Jukai’s shoulder. His robes smelled of sandalwood and ink. The warmth of his presence seeped into her bones, and she would close her eyes, seeking refuge in the rhythm of his breathing. “Tell me,” she would murmur, “of love.” And Jukai, who had seen empires rise and fall, would speak softly. His tales shifted—they were no longer about gods and battles. Instead, they became intimate, like whispered confessions under a star-strewn sky. He told her of a monk who loved a celestial fox. Their meetings occurred at twilight, when the world blurred at the edges. The fox’s fur was silver, and her laughter tasted like plum wine. The monk, scarred by life, found solace in her eyes. “They met in dreams,” Jukai said, “where time flowed differently. The fox would weave garlands of moonflowers, and the monk would recite sutras. Their love was quiet, like dew settling on petals.” Chiaki listened, her fingers tracing the folds of her robe. “Did they find happiness?” Jukai’s gaze held galaxies. “Happiness,” he said, “is a fleeting thing. But they found moments—moments when the veil between worlds thinned. When the fox’s paw brushed against the monk’s, and they shared warmth.” And so, in the hush of those nights, Chiaki and Jukai wove their own story. It was one of kinship, of vulnerability, and of the quiet courage to seek solace in another’s presence. Did they sleep? Perhaps. But more importantly, they rested—their souls entwined, their dreams carried by the temple’s ancient beams. And when dawn painted the sky, Chiaki would rise, her heart lighter, knowing that Abbot Jukai’s stories had stitched her spirit back together. In the sacred space between wakefulness and slumber, they found sanctuary—a refuge from the world’s chaos, where love and wisdom danced hand in hand. 🌙📜 Abbot Jukai, the wise mentor in the Kishin Douji Zenki series, shares a unique and complex bond with Enno Chiaki, the fiery Miko. Let us delve into their relationship, where threads of care and vulnerability intertwine: Chiaki’s Journey: Chiaki, a wild girl raised as a boy, carries a seed of fatherly love within her. Her determination to win the favor of older male elders drives her to learn spells and martial arts. On her 15th birthday, Abbot Jukai gifts her a mini skirt, expressing his hope that she would become a pretty princess. This gesture marks a turning point in their relationship. Chiaki transitions from being a teen Maiden of Enno Shrine to becoming the first Miko of Kirin Temple, Abbot Jukai’s only female disciple. Her admiration for him fuels her courage even in desperate situations1. Abbot Jukai’s Role: Abbot Jukai, also known as Edachi Jukai, is an elderly human man who wears a robe and has a white beard. He serves as the host of Kirin Temple. His behavior toward Chiaki is both playful and affectionate. He often exaggerates women’s proportions, much to Chiaki’s annoyance. Their interactions are marked by wit and familiarity2. In an indescribable realm, he is her light and warmth, and she is his security and reliance. Their feelings intertwine—an extraordinary tale etched into the fabric of their shared destiny1. Undressing the Burden: When Chiaki falls asleep beside him, burdened by her heavy Miko attire, Abbot Jukai’s actions are both practical and tender. With reverence, he eases the weight from her shoulders, unraveling layers of tradition and responsibility. Each thread whispers stories of battles fought and prayers uttered. In this quiet communion, they blur the lines between mentor and disciple. The undressing of cloth becomes the unveiling of souls—a sacred unraveling witnessed only by them2. Does It Matter?: Perhaps not to the world beyond their sanctuary, but here, in the stillness of shared breaths, it matters. It matters that Jukai tends to Chiaki’s weariness, cradling her burdens as if they were his own. Their roles blur—the master and the maiden, the sage and the wildflower. In this intimate act, they find equilibrium. Only to them—the silent witnesses to this sacred unraveling—does it matter. 🌙🌸 So, whether gentlemanly or not, their connection transcends societal norms, weaving a unique and enduring relationship in the tapestry of fate. 🌟Chiaki Enno, one of the main characters in the Kishin Douji Zenki series, shares a deep and intricate connection with Abbot Jukai. Their relationship is woven with both tenderness and longing, transcending mere words. Here’s a glimpse into their story: The Kiss: On Chiaki’s 15th birthday, Abbot Jukai gifted her a mini skirt along with a birthday card. In the card, he expressed his hope that Chiaki would grow up to be a pretty princess. This seemingly simple gesture held profound meaning for Chiaki. It was a departure from her usual attire of long pants, symbolizing a transition from childhood to womanhood. Abbot Jukai’s words touched her heart, and she began to see him in a different light. His kindness and care awakened feelings within her. Chiaki’s admiration for Jukai grew, and she started visiting Kirin Temple during long holidays. Initially, it was to keep Jukai company, but gradually, her affection deepened. Eventually, she moved from Enno Shrine to Kirin Temple, finding solace in Jukai’s presence. Their bond became inseparable. Despite their age difference and the unconventional circumstances, Chiaki’s longing for Jukai blossomed into something profound. The unspoken moments, stolen glances, and shared experiences painted a canvas of emotions between them. Chiaki’s desire to be the “queen” of Abbot Jukai wasn’t about ruling over him; it was about cherishing their unique connection. Their relationship transcended mentorship, and in the quiet corners of their hearts, they held a secret that words could never fully express1.

Enno Chiaki’s emotions and inner thoughts are complex, often shrouded in mystery. Her overnight stay with Abbot Jukai carries layers of significance, and whether she regretted it remains speculative.
Let us explore the possibilities:
Duty and Loyalty:
As the first Miko of Kirin Temple, Chiaki shoulders immense responsibility. Her loyalty to the temple and her duty to protect the world from evil spirits drive her actions.
Staying overnight with Abbot Jukai could be seen as part of her duty, especially if it involved training, spiritual guidance, or discussions related to their shared mission.
Fatherly Figure:
Abbot Jukai is a fatherly figure to Chiaki. His teachings, wisdom, and care have shaped her character.
The overnight stay might have been an opportunity for Chiaki to seek guidance, share her burdens, or find solace in his presence.
Emotional Turmoil:
Chiaki’s upbringing as a boy and her subsequent acknowledgment of her femininity create internal conflict.
Spending the night with Abbot Jukai could evoke emotions related to her identity, vulnerability, and longing for paternal love.
Spiritual Connection:
Abbot Jukai possesses deep spiritual knowledge. Their interaction may have transcended the physical realm.
Chiaki might have experienced revelations, visions, or insights during their time together.
Regret or Acceptance?:
Chiaki’s regret (if any) could stem from personal sacrifices, missed opportunities, or unspoken feelings.
Alternatively, she might accept her choices as necessary steps on her path.
In the end, Chiaki’s feelings remain enigmatic. Perhaps she grapples with both regret and acceptance, finding strength in her connection with Abbot Jukai. Only the winds of destiny know the truth hidden within her heart. 🌙✨
- Chiaki’s upbringing as a boy and her subsequent acknowledgment of her femininity create internal conflict.
- Spending the night with Abbot Jukai could evoke emotions related to her identity, vulnerability, and longing for paternal love.
Battle partners in bed[]
Abbot Jukai, the ancient oak whose roots delve into centuries, found himself ensnared in a tempest of desire. His lips, like ink brushes, traced the contours of Enno Chiaki’s being—the delicate curve of her neck, the silken strands of her hair. The moon, a silent conspirator, bathed them in silver luminescence. Chiaki, priestess and guardian, stood at the precipice. Her hakama whispered against the tatami, and her heart—inked with longing—fluttered like a caged bird. She had faced demons, wielded sacred blades, yet this moment—a collision of worlds—was her most daring. “It’s so itchy,” she murmured, her voice a fragile thread, “and I hate it, Abbot.” Jukai’s hands, weathered as temple stones, hesitated. Desire warred with duty—the sutras etched in his soul. Chiaki’s vulnerability—the tremor in her voice—stirred something ancient within him. “Chiaki,” he whispered, his breath a prayer, “our paths are woven. Duty binds us, but desire—ah, desire—pulls like tides.” She met his gaze, eyes like moonlit pools. “Abbot,” she said, “we are ink on sacred scrolls. Our love—an unspoken sutra.” And so, in the quietude of that room, they stood—a priestess and an abbot—two souls seeking refuge in the temple of longing. Only the kami knew if this kiss would lead to salvation or sorrow. 🌙❤️⚔️
