Personality And Traits

18-year old Kusuha Mizukha speaks like a typical girl for her age. She is kind, sweet and cheerful, though at times she is grieved by all the chaos that has enveloped the Earth. Before the war against Balmar, she hoped to become a doctor or run a health food shop. She and fiancé, Brooklyn 'Bullet' Luckfield, have adopted the young and powerful Psychodriver Irui, who was formerly the priestess of the Nashim Ganeden.

Kusuha is known for taking long baths (up to 3 hours), collecting shopping catalogs and experimenting with health drinks. Her health drinks have earned a degree of infamy, in that while very healthy and capable of curing most ailments (as well as restoring energy), their taste leaves much to be desired, and often cause the drinker to faint causing many people (most who haven't even tried it) to make up an excuse and escape from her drinks. Even manly men, like Tetsuya Tsurugi from Great Mazinger to Ingram Prisken and Sanger Zonvolt have been laid low by her concoctions. There are only four people known to withstand this dreaded beverage: Arado Balanga, Rätsel Feinschmecker, Heero Yuy from Gundam Wing, and Radora from Getter Robo G.

History

Alpha Timeline

Kusuha Mizuha begins as a student in her local high school, the same place where Brooklyn Luckfield attends, as well as the cast of Mazinger Z. When Baron Ashura and his forces attack the school, and Kouji Kabuto goes out to meet him in battle, a plane crashes onto the school grounds. Inside the vehicle is a Grungust and Kusuha pilots it to reinforce Kouji. Her actions in battle would heed the notice of the Earth Federation, and she is drafted into the army, allying with the Londo Bell, when the Divine Crusaders War breaks out. During the course of the conflict, she ends up facing Brooklyn, whom she thought was killed in the crash. Bullet, however, seemed to have lost his memories temporarily, and attacked her a number of times.

Kusuha's destiny is revealed to her when the RyuOhKi and the KoOhKi break free from Dr. Hell's control, exclaiming both she and Bullet are destined to become their pilots. The two machines fuse with Kusuha's newly upgraded Grungust Type-2 and form the legendary RyuKoOh and KoRyuOh. Kusuha and Bullet utilize these super robots in their fight against the Aerogaters, and end the first war with the extraterrestrials. However, the Earth Federation orders the RyuKoOh and KoRyuOh to be dismantled, but Bullet successfully saves both the RyuOhKi and KoOhKi and places them in hiding.

In Alpha 2, with the RyuOhKi in Kusuha's possession, Bullet watches over the KoOhKi. However, he is slowly controlled by the KoOhKi, which in turn, is controlled by Irui Ganeden. Under Irui's hypnosis, Bullet engages the Alpha Numbers in combat multiple times, before breaking free of the mind-control. With the KoOhKi, he combine with Kusuha's RyuJinKi and reform the RyuKoOh and KoRyuOh. With Bullet by her side again, the two defeat Irui Ganeden. However, the RyuOhKi and KoOhKi sacrifice themselves in the final battle, in order to prevent the Earth from being sealed.

In Alpha 3, the GouRyu-Kai, developed by the Tesla Leicht Institute, is handed down to Kusuha for use, knowing the Earth will be invaded once again, just like the Aerogaters did. Sure enough, the Balmarians arrive, along with the mysterious Son Ganlong, who pilots the Shin RyuOhKi. Although the Shin RyuKoOh appears, Bullet's soul is sealed inside the machine, and he does not reappear, until his reawakening with the Shin KoRyuOh. Kusuha and Bullet continue fighting against Balmar and defeat Keisar Ephes, ending the war. Back on the Earth, while Bullet stays in the Tesla Leicht Institute as a researcher, Kusuha decides to return to her studies and become a doctor. As a resolution to the Alpha series, he finally asks her hand in marriage.

Original Generation Timeline

Kusuha's background story is changed in the Original Generation universe. Here, she becomes SRX Team member Ryusei Date's high school classmate and childhood friend, developing a crush on him. However, Ryusei never shows his interest in women and their relationship is far from that of a real couple. While accompanying Ryusei to the Burning PT Tournament, Kusuha is injured when the stadium is attacked by the Aerogaters. Kusuha eventually drafts into the Earth Federation Army, as part of the medical crew of the Hagane, in order to help Ryusei, after he is recuited into the SRX Team. Through Ingram Prisken, Kusuha becomes the pilot of the Grungust Type-2, due to her newly discovered Psychodriver background. She does not meet Bullet until the end of the Divine Crusaders War, when she and the SRX Team particpates in a live-fire exercise against the ATX Team. When Ingram betrays the team, he manipulate Kusuha into siding with the Aerogaters, but is rescued by Bullet. With Operation SRW over, Kusuha transfers to the ATX Team.

In Original Generation 2, Kusuha is assigned to a secret confidential project, and is ordered to go to the Tesla Leicht Institute. She rejoins the ATX Team, just as the Einst and Inspectors appear. The story of how she and Bullet become the pilots of the RyuKoOh and KoRyuOh are similar to how they received the units in the Alpha universe, with some exceptions. Kusuha and Bullet pilots a Grungust Type-3, instead of a Grungust Type-2, and through the intervention of the Einst and Einst Alchemie, the RyuOhKi and KoOhKi awaken, and select the two to become their pilots, fusing with the Grungust. Kusuha and Bullet use the RyuKoOh and KoRyuOh for the rest of Original Generation 2, against the Shadow-Mirror, Inspectors and the Einst. The events conclude with the RyuKoOh and KoRyuOh stored inside the Tesla Leicht Institute.

In , Kusuha is sent as the ATX Team's representative at the unveiling of the VTX-001 Bartoll. She is captured by the machines, along with Lamia Loveless, Latune Subbota, Arado Balanga and Seolla Schweizer and held inside the Hellgate Facility, until the ATX Team and SRX Team successfully rescues them.
