[edit] The other Guardian of the Third Prison of the Underworld
Like fellow Specter Troll Iwan, Golem Rock was a Guardian of the Third Prison of the Underworld. He also was considered strong and fearsome.
He is the first Specter Dragon Shiryuu and Cygnus Hyouga faced when trespassing the Third Prison. Rock confidently said he would never let them pass through, but his words went ignored by the two Saints, who just went on.
Angered, Rock decided to make them pay for what he considered an insult, and performed his powerful move, named Rolling Bomber Stone, which was pretty much a very dangerous avalanche of huge rocks.
Noticing the danger, Shiryuu decided to counter not only the avalanche, but also the menace Rock posed. Performing his deadly Rozan ShouRyuuHa at full force, Shiryuu send the avalanche returning whence it came, and Golem Rock took the full force of Shiryuu's attack, dying instantly.
Rock's last words were : "Tsu..Tsuyoi..." ("S-Strong...")
Rock's intervention in the anime is exactly identical to the events in the manga.
[edit] Surplice, Name and Star
- Golem Surplice
The Golem Surplice represents a Golem, mythical creature from jewish folklore . Rock's Star is TenKakuSei (天角星), the Divine Horned Star.
[edit] Notes
- Rock was another of Hades' Specters that found death at Shiryuu's hands.
- Masami Kurumada probably gave Rock's technique, Rolling Bomber Stone, that name as a reference to the Rolling Stones.
