History
Guyferd
"The Birth of Guyferd"
Jerks began life as a short tempered, overconfident dojo master known as Michiyuki Taki. At some point before the start of the series, Taki was set to face his Kenouryu rival Masato Kazama in the national tournament. However Masato went missing beforehand. Through unknown means, Taki became involved with the evil Crown corporation run by Mr. Bicross, and was charged with using his dojo to produce physically disciplined individuals to donate to their Guyborg program. Taki started on the path to mutation when he was visited by Masato's brother Go Kazama, who wanted to know if Taki knew anything about his missing brother's whereabouts. Taki claimed that Masato was weak and had run away for fear he would lose to him in the tournament, and this landed them in combat. Taki attacked Go with a bokken, only to lose and be humiliated in front of his class before storming out and instructing the class to practice unguided.
He later called Go on the telephone and pretended to have calmed down and offered to tell him what had really happened to Go's brother. Go met Taki under a bridge, where he was ambushed by two Guyborgs who subdued Go with an elephant-tranquilizing 50,000 volt electric shock. No sooner did Taki ask what the weapon was, than did they use it on him. Taki awoke in a surgical room, where doctors told him that he would be made into the strongest man in the world. Despite his screams in protest, they then dropped the mysterious Fallah parasite onto his body, and he began to turn into a Mutian.
Now with the name Jerks, he escaped his cell and broke out of the Crown facility through the ventilation, only to find that some Guyborgs were blocking his path to freedom. He destroyed the assailants only to find that his adversary Go Kazama and Crown scientist Takeo Shiroishi were watching. Jerks challenged Go to a fight, but Go refused. Only after Jerks harmed Shiroishi, did Go intervene and attempt to defend his friend. Jerks initially held the upper hand in their battle, but he was soon defeated when Go transformed into Guyferd. After suffering a devastating blow from Guyferd, Jerks exploded and was killed.
"Have You Seen the Ultimate Hyper-transformation?"
While dreaming in meditation, Go Kazama saw Jerks and Doggross. In the dream, Go was meditating in a waterfall, being watched by a student of his sensei Jimyo's. Doggross attacked the student, and Go rushed to fight the Mutian, but then his fellow student transformed into Jerks. Go quickly defeated them both, but then they took on the forms of the student and Go's brother Masato. Go then awoke to find himself still beneath the waterfall with his fellow student keeping watch on him while he meditated.
