Kamuz (カムーズ Kamūzu?) is the main antagonist of The Legend of Valkyrie. He appears as a boss in Namco X Capcom and Project X Zone 2.

Crosspedia Entry[]

A demon who once sought to drive people to despair and rule the world as his own. He has a demonic face and a massive body with four arms.

Once, he stole the Golden Seed, said to be able to grant any wish, and attempted to use it to realize his own terrible ambitions. Using the power of the seed, he created a golden castle and sent hordes of monsters to attack the world. It was then that Valkyrie descended from on high to defend Marvel Land, eventually defeated him.

Exceptionally fast, he mainly attacks using powerful blows from his four arms, but he can also put pressure on distant opponents by attacking with boomerangs or fireballs.

Project X Zone 2[]

Kamuz makes his first appearance in Prologue 5: The Fire Emblem at the Divine Dragon Grounds, though he is surprised to encounter his old foe Valkyrie. He is revealed to have swiped a relic called the Fire Emblem, and as a result, he was being chased by Chrom and Lucina. The two, alongside Valkyrie, Yuri Lowell, and Flynn Scifo, succeed in defeating him, and in a desperate attempt to escape, he throws the Fire Emblem to distract the group and successfully flees.

Kamuz's second appearance is in Chapter 20: The Power to Change Fate, emerging on the Great Oak Tree from a Fracture along with an army of Risen and some enemies from Marvel Land. He reveals to the group that he plans on finding the Golden Seed, but his attempts to locate it through the Fracture resulted in him warping to the Great Oak Tree instead. He tries to fight the heroes but is defeated, much to his displeasure. He is able to escape, jumping through the Fracture that he just emerged from.

Kamuz's third appearance is in Chapter 28: Angels with Burning Hearts, appearing on the Space Symphony to confront the heroes. He also reveals that the Golden Seed is beyond the Fracture leading into Fiora's world because Ryugu Castle is in her world as well, and before he goes to claim it, he wants to deal with the group of heroes, and he brings forth fire from Makai to burn all of them and Coco ★ Tapioca with several Morolians under M. Bison's control, who he reveals is also in Fiora's world. Despite his best efforts, he is defeated but manages to escape to Fiora's world to Ryugu Castle.

Kamuz's fourth appearance is in Chapter 31: Turnabout Dance, where he breaks into the Ryugu Castle alongside Shadow and Sigma, though while he confronted Tarosuke to get into the castle, he was unaware that the Golden Seed had already been warped away by Shadow. He joins the two in incriminating the heroes for the theft but their plan is foiled by Sylphie's untimely appearance. Kamuz is able to swipe the seed from Sylphie by using two Honorians and warp it away before staying to fight the heroes. Although he is defeated, he is nonetheless happy to have acquired the Golden Seed and retreats to Marvel Land where he has stored it.

Kamuz's fifth appearance is in Chapter 35: Justice Enforced, where he returns to the Divine Dragon Grounds in order to force Tiki to undo the seal on the Golden Seed, but she stalls him through feigning falling asleep. Due to the arrival of the heroes, he fights them but is defeated. Much like before with the Fire Emblem, he discards the Golden Seed to distract the group before fleeing while yelling that he isn't finished yet.

Kamuz's sixth and final appearance is in The Final Chapter: Arisu in Destinyland, having decided to help Ouma merge all the worlds together, which he says is better than the Golden Seed. He is defeated though and curses Valkyrie for defeating him alongside several other people, which he says is the only reason why she won. She asks him why he is always alone and he retorts he doesn't need anyone else's help, resolving to use his own power alone. Valkyrie tells him that that is the reason why he lost and he may never realize it, which he confirms screaming he will never want to as he dies from his injuries.
