History[]
Heisei Series[]
Godzilla vs. Biollante[]
SSS9 was sent to retrieve samples of Godzilla's cells from the ruins of Tokyo in 1984. He did so by waiting for a trio of Bio-Major agents to get the cells for him, then he ambushed them and killed them, stealing the cell samples and taking them back to his homeland, Saradia. Five years later, SSS9 was sent to Japan to steal the Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria for Saradia's own purposes. This again brought him into conflict with Bio-Major, specifically its agents Michael Low and John Lee. That night when agents Low and Lee attempted to steal the notes of the ANEB, SSS9 show up and engaged them in a gunfight.
He stops them from escaping and took cover as Low and Lee took cover too. However, one a giant Vine came to life, grab Low and strangled him to death while Lee escape. As he moves in, the vine grab him and pulled him into the lab and attempted to kill him, but SSS9 took a knife, cut himself free and then escape. SSS9 later stop Kuroki and Gondo from giving Lee the ANEB, Lee recognized him, attempt to escape, but SSS9 killed him and then stope the ANEB. However, Kazuhito ordered all airports to keep from escaping with the ANEB and later took it to one of Saradia's Japanese offices.
Later, though, after Major Sho Kuroki and Lieutenant Goro Gondo stole back the ANEB from one of Saradia's Japanese offices, SSS9 was told by his superior, Abdul Zaruman, to assassinate Dr. Genshiro Shiragami so that Japan could never make any more ANEB, in the hopes that Godzilla may eventually return and destroy Japan, undaunted by the humans' inventions. SSS9 waited until after the Self-Defense Forces had used the ANEB, in combination with heating pads, to seemingly kill Godzilla, before he shot and killed Dr. Shiragami. He then attempted to escape in his car, a 1982 Mitsubishi Starion, but was pursued by Kazuhito Kirishima who forced him off the road. SSS9, unknowingly standing on one of the gargantuan heating pads, prepared to shoot Kazuhito only to be killed when Major Kuroki activated the pad, incinerating the killer.
Trivia[]
- SSS9 is likely based on the character Malness from Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, another sniper rifle-wielding political assassin who is almost always dressed in a suit and wearing sunglasses.
- Despite being one of the antagonists, SSS9 only had three lines in the film.
