*CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Grandmaster Meio]], in the 2014 remake, is the tyrannical ruler of the Earth. A GalacticConqueror from another world, Meio arrived on Earth and took it over in the span of a few years, establishing Kazakh City as his seat of power. However, his lust for power and control was not sated. He viewed the people of Earth as imperfect and longed to create a "[[MasterRace perfect race]]". To that end, he ordered his scientists to develop an anti-gravity device called the [[DoomsdayDevice Gravitron]], under the pretense that [[BlatantLies it would provide limitless energy to the people of Earth]]. In reality, Meio planned to use the Gravitron to pull his space station, the Third Moon, into Earth's orbit, [[WeatherManipulation which would cause worldwide natural disasters]], [[OmnicidalManiac killing off all of Earth's population]], allowing him to create his perfect race. [[KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade Any scientist who learned the truth was hunted down and killed]], or, in the case of The Prisoner, [[ColdBloodedTorture tortured]] into [[DrivenToMadness insanity]]. Meio [[BadBoss kills subordinates]] who [[YouHaveFailedMe fail to meet his expectations]], such as [[MadScientist Professor Schlange]]. Eleven Striders before Hiryu tried and failed to kill Meio, one of them being Hien, [[HeroKiller whom Meio personally murdered]]. A being of pure evil and [[AmbitionIsEvil relentless ambition]], Meio would stop at nothing to achieve his twisted version of perfection.
