SIC Hero Saga - Kamen Rider Kuuga: Odyssey

Since we showed to you last time Decade's on-going side story in Stronger's World, why not take a look on the original Kuuga's adventure? Kuuga has two SIC Hero Saga side stories. First is called, Masked Rider Kuuga: Odyssey (仮面ライダークウガ -オデッセイ-) which ran on Hobby Japan magazine from February to May 2002 and it is written by series producer Shigenori Takatera which expands the origins of the original Kuuga which was shadowed at the start of the series.

Odyssey has four chapters called, Linto, Grongi, Gouram and Daguva and here is the entire synopsis of the original Kuuga's origins.

The Linto's civilization revolves around coexistence with nature. The tribe magician predicts that something bad is going to happen and they need a warrior. He does some fortune-telling and the guy chosen to become their warrior is a boy named Riku. 

They stick the spirit-stone Amadam in him and he becomes the first Kuuga. Meanwhile another tribe known as the Grongi use metal they found from a meteorite to make weapons and attack other tribes.

They go searching for more meteorites and the stones they find in one such expedition changes their DNA structures and gives them beast-like powers. Kuuga fights them and then N Daguba Zeba shows up in his incomplete form and slaughters people in their village. The original Kuuga later defeats him.
