Biographies[]
Blue Dragon[]
General Szabo awakens them when the heroes attack the flying fortress, and the party fights and destroys them one-by-one throughout the dungeon. The order they are fought is Silent Ku, Turbulent Mai, Heat-Wave Sai and finally Raging Kesu. Later on, they are revived along with their master with enhancements as 'Grand' mecha robos and fight the party all at once before they fight Grand Szabo. In the Cauldron Chamber of the Primitive Cube, their parts are used to create the body of 'Ultimate Szabo'.
While Szabo's body makes up the head, Silent Ku forms the torso, Heat Wave Sai forms the leg area (with some leg parts added), Raging Kesu forms the left arm, and Turbulent Mai forms the right arm. Even in this form, they are no match for the player's party.
Blue Dragon Plus[]
The quartet return in Blue Dragon Plus when General Szabo ends up under an evil control. They only appear in their Grand forms and as Ultimate Szabo.
Blue Dragon: Awakened Shadow[]
They make their return during a mid-game mission in the main story. Szabo, having seen the beauty of life, tries to convince them to change sides. They refuse, seeing only purpose in destruction and fuse with Destroy to become Demon King Destroy. Szabo is sad after their defeat since he hoped they could finally join him.
Anime[]
General Szabo unleashes them to attack Jiro and Minotaur. During the second attack, they merge with General Szabo to form "Ultimate Szabo." They are eventually destroyed by Jiro and Minotaur.
The combination for 'Ultimate Szabo' is different with Rapid-Bomber Sai in the middle, Knife-Armed Mai at the bottom, and Flashing-Bladed Kesu and Double-Blaster Ku as arms.
