"Bio Particles detected. Whether they are from objects or lifeforms... I will destroy them all."
―Silva confronting the Biomen[src]

Bio Hunter Silva (バイオハンター・シルバ Baio Hantā Shiruba) is a mechanical assassin created by the Anti-Bio Union during the Bio Civil War; after the planet's fall, he later becomes a major wild card in the battle between the Biomen and the Neo Empire Gear.

History[]

Balzion and Silva on Bio

Silva and Balzion during the Bio Civil War.

Silva is an android assassin built alongside the gigantic mecha Balzion as the ultimate secret weapon of the Anti-Bio Union during their conflict with the Bio Peace Union 500 years ago. His main objective is to track down and destroy any and all Bio Particles he comes across regardless of what it is or who or what possesses them. When the war ultimately results in the destruction of Bio, Silva and Balzion escape at the same time as the Bio Peace Union's BioRobo and the robot assistant Peebo; they mean to continue tracking them and any other Bio Particles down, but are ultimately separated, with Balzion ending up on Earth and Silva spending the next five-hundred years wandering to find his missing machine to continue his singular mission.Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 37: The Assassin Silva!

Silva finally tracks Balzion to Earth during the war between the Bioman and Neo Empire Gear on the planet, immediately making an impression by stealing a Neo Mecha Gigan from Neograd and attacking Bioman upon first notice due to tracking their Bio Particles instantly. While initially scared of Silva due to his impact during the Bio Civil War, Peebo tries to reason with the enemy to explain that the war was long over and that he did not have to continue his hatred and mission; however with Silva only concerned with his objective of finding Balzion and destroying Bio Particles, he could not be reasoned with. Doctor Man, seeing Silva as both a potential ally and a potential nuisance to his own mission, attempts to use Silva and his missions to advance his own goals, trying to assist in the search for Balzion while simultaneously hoping to track it down on its own and eliminate Silva for his own goals to prove his genius to the world.Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 37: The Assassin Silva!Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 38: The Enigmatic BalzionTvicon TV STORY-Ep. 39: Mason's Trap!

Ultimately, when Balzion is finally found near a certain cave housing the second lab of Professor Shibata, Silva begins to reach out and attempt to gain Balzion for his own even as Bioman and Gear try to stop him. When Professor Shibata stands up to him, Silva shoots him with his Bi Buster, revealing him to be a Mecha Human. When Balzion is finally revealed, Silva gains access to it and begins his ultimate battle with BioRobo; but is stopped when Gear's Monster performs a suicide attack using Super Megas to capture the mecha, which at the same time captures Silva and carries him to Neograd for further analysis. Silva ultimately escapes from Doctor Man's control and tries to retake Balzion when Farrah takes it out to fight Bioman, but she sacrifices her life to make sure that he doesn't get it back.Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 47: Professor Shibata's True Colors!?Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 48: It Appears! BalzionTvicon TV STORY-Ep. 49: Critical Bio Robo

Realizing that he had to break into Neo Grad to get Balzion, Silva reclaims the Mecha Human Prince in order to restore it and try to use its knowledge of Neograd to reach his mecha. However Shuichi Kageyama (the actual son of Doctor Man) disguises as Prince and sneaks in instead in order to help Bioman and try to save his father and Professor Shibata.

Ultimately, Silva gets an open invitation to reclaim his mecha when Mason, the last member of the Big Three, brings it out to deal with the invading Bioman at Neograd. When Silva confronts him, he uses his spikes to assassinate Mason and finally reclaims Balzion for his own. Forced into a final showdown with BioRobo, Silva continues to show the equal power that both sides had, not able to defeat the Bio Peace Union's weapons as Bioman was unable to show superiority to Balzion. However at a critical moment, BioRobo teleports Peebo from Bio Base and makes it merge with a power unit, rapidly increasing the Bio Particles within to maximum. With the combined power of Bioman, Peebo and BioRobo, the team uses a fully-charged Bio Particle Cut to finally destroy Balzion and deliver the fatal blow to Silva. As he departs his mecha, he continues to proclaim his mission of searching and destroying Bio Particles before blowing up, bringing an end to the Anti-Bio Union's ultimate assassin.Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 50: Assault Neograd

Behind the Scenes[]

Portrayal[]

Bio Hunter Silva was voiced by Kazuo Hayashi (林 一夫 Hayashi Kazuo), who would go on to voice Sentai-like villain SS Pamaan in Gekisou Sentai Carranger and regular villain General Budoh in Seijuu Sentai Gingaman. Hayashi reprised his role as Silva in the crossover film, Super Hero Taisen, 27 years after Bioman had ended.

Silva was portrayed by recurring Sentai suit actor Yoshinori Okamoto (岡本美登 Okamoto Yoshinori); this was his first of five-straight villain roles he portrayed in Sentai, which were followed by Adjutant Booba, Bo Gardan, Earth Imperial Ninja Oyobu and Doctor Ashura. In addition to Silva, Okamoto also played Mechaclone #1 early in the series. In Super Hero Taisen, Rider Hunter Silva's suit actor was Kazutoshi Yokoyama (横山 一敏 Yokoyama Kazutoshi).

Design[]

Silva was designed by Yutaka Izubuchi (出渕裕 Izubuchi Yutaka), who based Silva's design and function on Hakaider from the Android Kikaider tokusatsu series. Izubuchi opted to use the color silver as Silva's motif instead of black like Hakaider as he had already used it for Dark Knight in Kagaku Sentai Dynaman.[1]
