Hazal Gozzo is a fictional character in the Super Robot Wars series. He has appeared as an enemy character in Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 only.
The newly appointed general commander of the Ze Balmary Army and head of the Golar Golem forces, Hazal Gozzo is the son of current prime minister of Balmar, Shiva Gozzo. He grew up with fellow Balmarian Luria Kayitz and was a former pupil to Baran Doban. Prideful and arrogant, Hazal looks down on most people, due to his nobility status.
When the second invasion by Balmar began, Hazal sent the army to the surface of Earth, while he personally dealt with the SRX Team, who had previously destroyed the Aerogaters, in their first invasion. Thanks to the data gathered by Euzeth Gozzo, Hazal was able to destroy the SRX machine with ease, while kidnapping Aya Kobayashi and stealing the Tronium. When news that Princess Almana Tiqvah was on Earth, Hazal was ordered by his father to retrieve her, and with the help of the Golar Golem, he imprisons Almana on his command ship, but with the help of Luria, she escapes. Hazal would continue his pursue, while challenging the SRX Team (and Kusuha Mizuha, if the player selects her as the protagonist) and their newly acquired Banpreios, due to their strong Psychodriver abilities.
Hazal's conflict with the Alpha Numbers would come to an end when he attacks them after they return to normal space, following the events with the 11 Planetary Masters Of Sol. Even with the combined power of Ace Gozzo's Dvariym, turning Hazal's Vayikra into the Gador Vayikra (once again, due to Euzeth's data on the SRX), he is pushed back, until Ace suddenly fires on Hazal's Vayikra, stating how useless he is. Ace finally reveals to Hazal that he's not Shiva's biological son, but actually an artificially created Psychodriver, similar to Euzeth's Balshem series of clones, but placed and grew up in an environment where his emotions can develop like a normal Balmarian would. It was Shiva who engineered this plan, as he was plotting to revolt against Ruach Gan Eden and take the throne for himself, using Hazal as a means for his own ambitions by drawing out his Psychodriver abilities. As Hazal laments over the fabrication of his existence, Ace activates a fail-safe switch and destroys Hazal's mind, permanently killing him, while commandeering his Vayikra.
Etymology[]
- Like many Balmarians, whose names are of Hebrew origins, Hazal's name is derived from Sifrut Hazal, or Rabbinic literature, specifically literature from the Talmundic era.
