Jyazu, also known as Jazu (ジャズウ), is the true final boss of Kizuna Encounter in The King of Fighters (KOF) series. He is playable in the console versions of the game, but like King Leo, he cannot team up with other characters. Jyazu was added to The King of Fighters XI as the boss counterpart for Sho Hayate. The designer who oversaw his development also did bug checking for Kizuna Encounter and hopes to someday see him team up with Gozu and Mezu. Jyazu's mask is decorated to resemble a crow monster in recognition of all the people he has killed. Kazuo, the "brother" Gozu and Mezu are trying to avenge, was actually killed by Jyazu. His fighting style is a combination of Gozu's and Mezu's techniques, featuring hunched stances and spinning attacks. Jyazu's powers seem to be derived from sorcery, and his real motives remain an enigma. The KOF series is famous for its large cast of characters and innovative team system, and Jyazu, as a unique villain, adds more depth and challenge to the game.
