Hi! Welcome to another Supplemental Chapter of Koudoutai.
In Book 1 (Koudoutai: The New Enemy), I put in the bios and
weapons of the 12 Zodiac members (chapter 3 and 6), but why another?
Update, as well as I'll be uploading the members individually, as
opposed to posting all of the members in one chapter,
and that as the story progresses, each of the Zodiac members undergo
changes, as well as what's in store for them. And let's not forget a
more thorough profile for each of the Zodiac member as well as
spoilers for what in store for them in future chapters and fics.
So without further ado, the new updated version of the Zodiac info,
from profile to weapons, their first (to last) appearance, and what's
in store for them in the future story arc of Koudoutai:
Zodiac Entry # 6Iteza (Sagittarius)
Name: John Rambuza
Occupation: Former Olympic archer, later mercenary, later Member of the Zodiac
Current Status: Deceased
Place of Birth: Somewhere in Egypt
Place of Death: Lake Ackaigside, Lochaber, Scotland
First Appearance: Read Or Die: The Book Of Immortality Chapter 2
Final Appearance: Read Or Die: The Book Of Immortality Chapter 8
Profile:
Iteza was born to an Egyptian father and a Japanese mother.
He spent most of his childhood practicing the art of Japanese archery
during his stay in Egypt. When he reached the age of 21, he moved to
Japan to make his Japanese citizenship permanent. But for unknown
reasons, he severed his ties with his parents, and his parents were
emotionally hurt by their son's actions.
He then joined the Japanese Olympic team, and in two years, he won
several gold medals on his third year, he was stripped of his medals,
and was suspended indefinitely after finding out he was using banned
performance-enhancing drugs to help boost his performance during
the last two Olympic games. With no source of income, he turned to
mercenary jobs, where he further honed his archery skills.
Learning of this, the mysterious "benefactor" of the Zodiac told To-Rasu
to contact Rambuza, and offer him the slot of Iteza. Rambuza accepted,
and was given his official armor and battle robot.
His first, and only, recorded appearance was during the Scotland mission
in which they are hired to retrieve the book that the British Library hired
them to steal it from a Scottish archeologist. During this course, they came
into conflict with the combined team of the Paper Sisters and the Chosen
Children. As Iteza, Rambuza's athletic archery skills somewhat bested
Michelle Chang's archery skills. As Iteza was about to kill Michelle,
Angewomon intervene, causing Iteza to drop his explosive arrows. As
Iteza fought with Angewomon, Angewomon's Holy Arrow struck Iteza,
hurling him against the dropped explosive arrows. The impact caused the
arrows to explode, and Iteza was killed. Due to the explosion, his body
was never recovered as the explosion have disintegrated his body. All that's
left was his shattered card deck.
A/N: I was unable to supply a photo to show Iteza's alter ego. Hence,
I made it appear that Iteza never showed his identity. But to give you a
brief description, his facial appearance is a mixture of Japanese and Egyptian,
is bodily muscular and has tan skin. Think Bobby Lashley (WWE Smackdown!)
Height: 6'3
Weight: 220 lbs.
Name: Ren Akiyama
Occupation: Biker, former member of the Zodiac, currently unknown
Current Status: Inactive
Place of Birth: Somewhere in Japan
First Appearance: Detective School Q: Koudoutai – The Zodiac Strikes Back Chapter 22
Profile:
Following the 1st Iteza's death in Scotland, the mysterious "benefactor"
told Kitaoka that they need a suitable replacement to act as Iteza. Kitaoka
then went to several states in Japan to find a man strong and skillful enough
to act as Iteza. Kitaoka then witnessed a brawl inside a bar between Akiyama
and some punks, only to be broken up by his girlfriend, a woman named Eri Ogawa.
Thinking carefully, he deduced that Akiyama was a good-natured man, just
like the recently deceased Yuuichi Saito. Needing a plan to make Akiyama
forced into Zodiac, Kitaoka had Iteza's battle robot, Dark Wind, caused a
ruckus, and during the melee, Eri injured herself and fell into a coma. Kitaoka
then appeared and showed Akiyama how to "bound" Dark Wind. Kitaoka
then told Akiyama that if he joins the Zodiac, they will provide him a way of reviving Eri.
Akiyama reluctantly agreed to the terms, provided that he doesn't kill innocent people.
Kitaoka reluctantly agreed to Akiyama's condition, and Akiyama was in.
During his brief stay as a Zodiac member, Akiyama's identity was known
to his fellow Zodiac, but Akiyama knew nothing of his allies', since he rarely
appeared on scheduled meetings, and get to see the Zodiac members
only in their armored forms.
During a mission (taking place after The Book Of Immortality, and
before CLAMP School Meets Dan Detective School), Zodiac members,
Shishiza, To-Rasu, Ohitsujiza, and Iteza were ambushed by Griffimons
when a portal connecting the human world and the Digimon world mysteriously
appeared. The battle took place near a port in Wakkani, Hokkaido.
During the battle, Iteza used his Final Vent against a huge Griffimon and
both collided and fell over a huge oil tanker truck. This caused a huge
explosion, and the Zodiac retreated, assuming that Akiyama was dead,
along with Dark Wind. But it turned out that both Akiyama and Dark Wind
survived, and the resulting explosion caused the circuits inside Dark Wind to
cut off its tracers, hence the Zodiac are not aware that Dark Wind was still
functioning. It was then that a 19 year old woman, who happened to witness
the incident took Akiyama to safety and nursed his wounds. She then told
Akiyama that she was looking for her twin brother, and that she felt that there's
a connection between her brother and the Digimon world and the portal.
The woman then told Akiyama her name: Yuri Shuzaku. Yuri then told Akiyama
that if he helps her, she'll help him. As proof, she helped Akiyama relocate his
comatose girlfriend to another hospital in case the Zodiac might use her as a pawn.
And soon an alliance between Akiyama and Yuri was formed, and are now working
together in finding an answer, as well as finding a way of reviving Eri.
What's in store: Ren Akiyama and Yuri Shuzaku will occasionally pop out
sometime within this fic, kind of like a cameo appearance.
In Book 3, both Akiyama and Yuri will play an important part in that fic as they finally
become an irreplaceable ally of DDS.
Ren will also meet up with other Zodiac members turned face, and in the course
of Book 3, Ren and DDS will discover a shocking secret on how and why the
Zodiac was formed.

Advent CardsA/N: Both Iteza's have the same battle robot. But after Ren Akiyama
became the 2nd Iteza, his weapons, and card reader was different from
that of John Rambuza's, so I'll post both card readers of Rambuza and
Akiyama's. Dark Wind's weapons and power ups are still here, but after
Akiyama became the 2nd Iteza, some of its weapons were altered.
So I'll be showing you each of the two Iteza's weapon specs:
Bat VisorThe 1st Iteza's card reader resembling that of a short sword's
scabbard , which can also shoot
explosive arrows from its tip by pressing a button on his
card reader. His primary
weapon.
Shoot Vent (3,000 Attack Points)
Dark Arrow
Iteza's card reader became a crossbow. Shoots energy-generated
versions of his explosive
arrows.
Nasty Vent (1,000 Attack Points)
Sonic Break
A sonic attack from Dark Wind, causing dizziness to the target(s).
Trick Vent (1000 Attack Points)
Causes Iteza to create replicates of himself.
Final Vent (5.000 Attack Points each, depending on which technique he uses)
Iteza has three types of Final Vent cards:
Hishou Zan (Flying Death)
When Dark Wind mounted on Iteza's back, he jumped into mid-air, and once Iteza
descends to the ground, Dark wind wraps Iteza's body with his wings, which turns
into a cloak, and charges down towards its opponent in the form of a arrow-like
drill
Giant Arrow
Dark Wind transforms into a huge bow. And Iteza acts as a human arrow, and
when fired, can cause devastating damage to lives and properties
Flying Darts Dark Wind mounts on Iteza's back (resembling that of Archangel of X-Factor),
and Dark Wind's wings extended, then shoots several arrows towards it's targets.
Can be fatal to unlucky targets...
Now here's the weapon specs of the 2nd Iteza, in which some
weapons are added, but after his encounter with a Griffimon, he loses two
of its Final Vent techniques due to the explosion. Dark Visor Knight's card
reader in the form of a sword
Shoot Vent (3,000 Attack Points)

Iteza's card reader turns into a bow, and shoots energy-generated versions of his
explosive arrows.

The wings of Darkwing turned into a cloak of protection.

Causes Iteza to create replicates of himself.
Final Vent (5.000 Attack Points)
Hishou Zan (Flying Death)
When Dark Wind mounted on Iteza's back, he jumped into mid-air, and once Iteza
descends to the ground, Dark wind wraps Iteza's body with his wings, which turns

drill
