| - Zeed (ジード), also known as Z-666 for the tattoo on his body, is a minor antagonist in Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage. He is notable for being the first villain who faces Kenshiro in the original Fist of the North Star story. A massive, vicious thug (aptly titled "Predator of the Weak" in the game), Zeed leads his self-named biker gang to raid villages for food and water. After Kenshiro's encounter with Bat and Rin, Zeed and his gang invaded the village they are in. Zeed uses Rin as a hostage, threatening to kill her if the villagers didn't comply to his demands. Kenshiro confronts him and defeats him with the Hyakuretsu Ken technique. He is the first man in the series to fall victim to Kenshiro's trademark technique and its associated line: "You are already dead".
- Zeed (ジード Jīdo) is a character in Fire Emblem: Hasha no Tsurugi manga and is the older brother of Jemmie. He is one of Bern's Wyvern Knights and is the leader of his Flying Dragon Squad. He attempts to kidnap Tiena, but he is defeated by Al after a struggle. In the Western Isles, Zeed gives Arcard support in the form of Jemmie and Ain, believing that they would be enough to crush the Lycian Army. However, the experiment (to summon war dragons) fails, and he saves his sister before she can be captured by Roy's army. After Narcian learns of his failure, he is forced to go and attack Nabata, a task originally given to Narshen himself. Realizing that his only remaining choices are to die attacking the hidden village or being branded a traitor, he disbands his Flying Dragon Squad in hopes that the remaining members would live. While wandering about the desert, he stumbles upon Tiena trying to get Al to Nabata. Seeing how different she was from Narshen, he decides to let her go; however, upon thinking of what his sister would tell him, he then grabs Tiena and Al and head towards the Village. Fae, thinking that they were enemies, attacked them, and he passed out from the blast of Fae's fire and was forgotten by Fae. After awakening, he wanders around the desert once more until he stumbles upon the corpses of the members of his Flying Dragon Squad, who were killed by mysterious figures. However, because those mysterious figures also attacked the Tate and Thany, causing some of their pegasi's feathers to fall off, he mistakenly believed that the Lycian Army was responsible for his men's deaths. After returning to Bern, Zeed learned that Jemmie had been dispatched to Aquleia. Upon his arrival, he is hailed by a badly-injured Narcian, who had mistaken him for another common wyvern rider. When Zeed asks about Jemmie's whereabouts, Narcian replies that the "useless girl" had died, infuriating Zeed. Instead of helping Narcian, Zeed plunges his lance into Narcian, and finally kills the man. He leads the vanguard against the Lycian Army, which was commended by Murdock, although the general also notes that such passion rarely ended well. Upon seeing Tiena's use of Aureola, he tracks her down in order to raise the men's morale; realizing who she was, he attempts to kill her, calling her a hypocrite. However, Gant takes the blow for her, but survives despite taking a critical blow. They continue their fight, each of them receiving heavy injuries, although Zeed's wyvern takes a blow for him, which kills the wyvern but gives Zeed the upper hand. In spite of that, however, Gant manages to strike him down. Before Zeed dies, he hallucinates Jemmie being there, who tells them that they could stop fighting and go somewhere that was peaceful. With that, he passes on, leaving Tiena to mourn for him.
- In the 17th episode it is revealed that Zeed's gang was an ally of the King's Organization when Balcom is giving a recap of Kenshirou's encounters up to that point.
