## Biography

### The Remodeled Human's Great Transformation for the Planet

During the time a scientist named Professor Henry was testing out the powers of Kazuya Oki, after operating on him into Super-1, a suspicious man, named Gosuke Saruwatari, sneaks in and views the experiments. During the testing, Kazuya tests his Radar Hands which revealed to him the appearance of members of the Dogma Kingdom from far away. As Professor Henry begins to wonder who they are, he spots Saruwatari in the room and he and the other scientists try to get him, but Saruwatari manages it escape.

The next day, as Professor Henry and another scientist were driving, they’re suddenly stopped by a car with Saruwatari inside. He gets out and reveals that he’s with the Dogma Kingdom and is ordered to capture Professor Henry. The Professor tries to drive away, but Saruwatari somehow manages to push against the car to keep it in place. The other scientist then tries shooting at him with a gun, but much to Professor Henry’s amazement, the bullets have no effect. Saruwatari then reveals his Dogma Kaijin form, called Fire Kong. Fire Kong shoots a stream of flames from his forehead at the scientist and captures Professor Henry.

Fire Kong brings Professor Henry to General Megarl at the Dogma Kingdom to convince him to hand over Super-1 to them. Professor Henry refuses and is escorted back out of the Dogma Kingdom, being given a deadline to change his mind. The leader, Emperor Terror Macro, expected Professor Henry’s refusal, so he orders him to be killed.

Before he could be sent out to kill Professor Henry, Fire Kong threatens another scientist to destroy the computers needed to turn Kazuya into Super-1. Professor Henry and the other scientist manage to stop the scientist, but are already too late as the computers have been destroyed. Upon losing the computers, Professor Henry tries to get Kazuya to transform into Super-1 on his own.

Late at night, as Professor Henry tries to get Kazuya to leave through a secret passageway at the laboratory, Dogma Fighters invade the place and Saruwatari confronts the two. Fire Kong throws one of the Dogma Fighter’s spears at Professor Henry, stabbing and killing him. He proceeds to use his Kenpo-Saruwatari Style fighting skills to fight against Kazuya. As they’re fighting, Fire Kong reveals his true form and manages to get the upper hand in the fight. Before Fire Kong can kill Kazuya with his own hands, one of the Dogma Fighters reports that they set the explosives around the laboratory. So Fire Kong leaves Kazuya behind and orders the explosives to detonate, destroying the laboratory. Fortunately, Kazuya unconsciously transforms into Super-1 in time and manages to survive the explosion.

### The Time of Battle Has Come! The Move is the Sincere Shaolin Fist

In Japan, Saruwatari is seen training with a class of dojo students by Genjiro Tani, who recognizes him as the man in the photo sent by Professor Henry before his death. Genjiro and his apprentices see Saruwatari taking possession of a dojo and started his own classes, so Genjiro gets his assistant, Choro, to send a letter to Master Genkai, who is currently training Kazuya, to let him know.

After Kazuya successfully manages to transform on his own, Saruwatari tries to take over Genjiro’s shop to build his own dojo. Once Genjiro refuses, Saruwatari’s students bring him and his apprentices to him at his current dojo. Saruwatari threatens them for opposing against him until Kazuya arrives. Kazuya fights off the students and faces off again Saruwatari in martial arts. Kazuya manages to beat Saruwatari, forcing him to turn into his Fire Kong form. The two fight outside where Fire Kong is shown to be too strong for Kazuya. After Fire Kong shoots his flames, Kazuya transforms into Super-1. Fire Kong summons the Dogma Fighters, so Super-1 fights them off with his own powers. Once fighting off the Dogma Fighters, Super-1 and Fire Kong resume their fight. Fire Kong keeps on shooting his flames until Super-1 uses his Thermal Hands to shoot a cold spray to extinguish the flames. With Fire Kong’s flames extinguished, Super-1 shoots out his own flames to burn Fire Kong back. Finally, Super-1 uses Super Whirlwind Kick on Fire Kong, causing him to shout Emperor Terror Macro’s name before blowing up.
