Shuzack

Shuzack (シュザック, Shuzakku) is the personal Gunman of Cytomander. The Shuzack is best suited for aerial superiority, sporting a compact flight engine and a massive winged design. Additionally, its multi-jointed frame allows for both arms to both extend and retract in close-quarter situations. Its torso also holds a deadly buzzsaw. The Shuzack is destroyed, along with its pilot, when it got in the way of the Dai-Gurren ramming into the Dai-Gunten.

Like the custom Gunman of the other Generals, the Shuzack can also transform-in its case, into a massive face with a wing-like crest and thin, clawed limbs under the chin. Unfortunately, the full extent of its abilities are unknown, as the Shuzack was immediately destroyed following its transformation.

In the first film, Gurren-Hen, the Shuzack attempts to attack Gurren-Lagann by manifesting metallic needles from every seam of its body. However, it is destroyed before Cytomander can finish declaring the attack (he managed to say "Demolition Dr-" before Gurren Lagann pinned him down with its sunglasses), leaving the details of the technique a mystery.

Etymology

Shuzack's romanized name corresponds to Suzaku, the Vermillion Bird of the South, one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations.
