The '''Chainsaw Majini''' was one of the most powerful type of [[Majini]] which appeared during the [[Las Plagas]] outbreak in [[Kijuju]]. Very similar to the [[Chainsaw Man]] encountered by [[Leon S. Kennedy]], they were extremely resistant to damage, and were considered successful adoptions of the Plaga parasite.<ref>[http://projectumbrella.net/articles/Biohazard-5-Kaitaishinsho-Guide Resident Evil 5 guide at Project Umbrella]</ref>
'''The Guard''', (aka "Chainsaw Man") is a powerful sub-boss in [[Resident Evil 5]]. Much like [[Dr. Salvador]] in [[Resident Evil 4]], the Guard wields a chain-saw capable of beheading [[Chris Redfield]] and [[Sheva Alomar]].

The Guard is of main concern as he travels much faster than the other infected Majini.

Though not revealed officially by Capcom, fans speculate that there will indeed be different types of guards, much like Dr. Salvador in [[Resident Evil 4]]. The Guard reveals itself in "[[Shanty Town]]", easily identified as having grayish skin and rather bloody pants. With a burlap sack tied over his head, The Guard's oversized, deformed eye looks through the only hole.

Worth noting is that in the original [[Resident Evil 5]] trailer, (before the introduction of [[Sheva]]) a [[Majini]] that is identical to the Guard carries an axe.

The Guard is resilient. He is only really affected by surrounding environments such as barrels and electrical boxes, grenades, knifing, and direct shots to the head.
 
 
*The Guard is often accompanied by several other [[Majini]]. Taking care of the Majini first can be helpful, but you may not have enough bullets for the Guard.
 
*Take advantage of the cooperative play. Since the Guard normally chases after the nearest player, have one stand farther back and shoot the barrels, electrical boxes, etc, and have the second run circles around the Guard.
 
*If you're new Resident Evil 5, avoid using the knife. You remain stationary, and won't be able to react in time if the Guard starts to attack. Plus, the knife really doesn't do much damage.
 
*Both players can execute one punch, kick, or some sort of melee while he recovers from an attack. Keep in mind that once he stands back up, you cannot melee until he has stumbled again.
 
*Use the surrounding environment. Slash down doors ahead of time, and keep shooting barrels and electrical boxes when the Guard gets close. He will stumble, and you can run away once again.
 
 
== Trivia ==
 
 
*When beheading either of the players, the camera will pan slightly off the body. The head isn't shown as cut off as it was in Resident Evil 4. It is currently unknown if this is a censor, or merely a graphical shortcut.
 
*Though having more health and stamina, The Guard is a bit easier to kill than Dr. Salvador. This is most likely because of cooperative play.
 
*The cutscene introducing the Guard on Shanty Town is interactive. It may show Chris walking up alone, Sheva alone, or both Chris and Sheva walking up together, based on the location of the players before the cutscene.

The Chainsaw Majini was one of the most powerful type of Majini which appeared during the Las Plagas outbreak in Kijuju. Very similar to the Chainsaw Man encountered by Leon S. Kennedy, they were extremely resistant to damage, and were considered successful adoptions of the Plaga parasite.[1]

History

The Chainsaw Majini was first encountered by Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar during their mission while making their way through the streets of Kijuju, who knocked open a steel door and charged them in an alleyway. The two fought the powerful villager and killed him, obtaining the key needed to open the door he emerged from to continue their mission.

During their exploration of the abandoned oil field used by Ricardo Irving, they were attacked by two chainsaw-wielding Majinis while making their way through the refinery area. A third one attacked them and Josh Stone inside the control area along with a mob of regular Majini, who may or may not be spared by the player.

In the events of "Desperate Escape", Stone and Jill Valentine were attacked by a Chainsaw Majini at the Tricell communication facility, who carried a key. He was killed by the duo, who secured the key from his body and used it to continue their journey through the facility.
