History Characters / OhsamaSentaiKingOhgerGalactinsects

* KnightOfCerebus: Let's put it into this perspective: before the Galactinsects' introduction to the story, ''King-Ohger'' was arguably the darkest entry in the Reiwa era of ''Super Sentai'' yet given the emphasis on the political drama between the nations the main characters rule over and an increasingly complicated race war that shaped the setting of the story. Afterwards? It can be arguably considered the darkest entry in the entire ''franchise'' as an already-conspiracy-heavy season gets saddled with tragedy on a cosmic horror level.

* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulu: Yes, the monarchs did, in fact, point a metaphorical middle finger at the psychopathic EldrichAbomination manchild alien who treats everything and everyone else as disposable toys. And they got away with it.

* EvilIsBigger: Dagded's true size is so gigantic he considers the ''entire universe'' his bedroom and Yanma refers to as 'universe-sized.'

--> ''Dagded'': What is it with you guys?!

* FatalFlaw: Dagded's ego is as immense as his power to the point where one can easily get on his good side by sucking up to him and making him think he has the upper hand. The monarchs exploit this in #31, [[ObfuscatingInsanity feigning madness]] in order to let his guard down and out him as the BigBad, [[spoiler:and later in #41 Racules does likewise, appealing to Dagded's ego to the point where he gains the power needed to attack and actually injure the Galactinsect boss.]] It's notable that [[spoiler:even after being flat out killed once and having another Jester killed off]], Dagded still can't bring himself to ''actually'' take the heroes seriously and continues to treat it as a game.

* OrcusOnHisThrone: Downplayed. Dagded certainly isn't opposed to arriving on Tikyu to taunt the heroes sometimes, but he generally prefers to watch the actions of his Jesters from space.
* OutsideGenreFoe: A HighFantasy political ConspiracyThriller setting finds itself being attacked by a being who comes across as something straight out of the Franchise/CthulhuMythos.

* PsychopathicManchild: He has the mannerisms of a petulant, hyperactive child... who thinks nothing about committing multiple mass genocides on a whim.

[[folder:Grodie Leucodium '''(unmarked spoilers)''']]

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: [[spoiler:After spending the entire series wanting to die, he gets his wish when the kings finally kill him. Unfortunately for Grodie, turns out as the movie confirmed there's a Heaven, [[DraggedOffToHell the bad place also exists.]]]]

* DeadAllAlong: He is revived to be a corpse continously revived by his own power. [[spoiler: Ends up Zig-Zagged when he is given true life.]]
* DeathSeeker: He hates the fact he's immortal, as he prefers the dead and ''wants'' to die. PlayedForLaughs in scenes where he's not the focus; his fascination with [[spoiler: Dagded's temporary death]] used for BlackComedy one-liners. Then he learns he is already dead with his own power reanimating him, made worst when he recieves true life.
* DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler:After the kings finally kill him, Grodie doesn't find peace, but rather an afterlife where he will be tormented by his victims for eternity.]]

** To Gira as both are [[spoiler: artificial weapons created by Dagded to sow chaos and further aid his plans]]. The difference is how they turned out: Gira was narrowly prevented from becoming a TykeBomb by his brother and thus grew up relatively normal; becoming a good person that cares about the sanctity of life and holds a disdain for immortality. Grodie meanwhile has been steeped in death since his creation and has destroyed numerous worlds as a Jester. He's cold, uncaring and desperately wants to die - holding no sanctity for life whatsoever, not even his own. Grodie is essentially what Gira could've become if [[spoiler: Corsus' plan to feed him the other Shugods' Souls]] was successful.

** To Gira, as both are [[spoiler: world-ending, Shugod Soul-powered superweapons created by Dagded]]. Gira is a gentle man with a somewhat-normal upbringing that grew up in an orphanage. He's spent much of his time around kind, innocent people and grew up much the same; developing a fondness for life. He abhors tyranny, is people-savvy and his cosmic origins fill him with nothing but dread. Grodie by contrast has been steeped in death since conception. He's part of an omnicidal horde led by a BadBoss and has been enabled to such an unhealthy degree that he's lost both his past and the ability to feel almost anything. Grodie is gloomy, apathetic, occasionally sadistic and has zero value for life, including his own. His own cosmic origins are irrelevant to him and he uses his regained memories as justification to indulge in murder once more instead of change.

* IronicHell: [[spoiler:Grodie spent all his time wanting to die and be at peace. However, after he's finally killed, he finds the shades of his countless victims waiting for him, ensuring his afterlife will be ''anything'' but peaceful.]]

* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:He thought he could achieve peace by dying. When the King-Ohgers finally kill him, Grodie is sent to the afterlife... where he's tormented for all eternity by the vengeful spirits of his many, many victims, which ensures that his afterlife won't be peaceful or tranquil at all.]]

* MonstrosityEqualsWeakness: PlayedForHorror. After Hymeno and Jeramie [[spoiler: give him life by using the latter's chest-crystal to un-do his immortality, Grodie gets a massive power-boost and starts another Fury Of the Gods]]. He was ''weaker'' when he was undead.

* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Downplayed. Grodie is a sadist like the other Jesters, but he's more interested in the extermination aspect of what they do than the fun. When [[spoiler: the King-Ohgers manage to temporarily kill Dagded, he outright proclaims his jealousy at an immortal like them]] being able to die and has to be actively stopped from seeking them out.
* OutOfContinues: [[spoiler:Hymeno and Jeramie resurrect him, which renders him mortal and allows them to kill him once and for all.]]

* SkewedPriorities: PlayedForLaughs in #44. The other Jesters are sucking up to Dagded [[spoiler: after his revival]], whereas Grodie is so fascinated that Dagded [[spoiler: was able to die]] that he has to be stopped from seeking his would-be killers out.

* TookALevelInBadass: He was already a dangerous opponent as an undead.[[spoiler: But receiving true life greatly increased his power to nightmarish proportions.]]
* TykeBomb: Like Gira, Grodie was [[spoiler: an artificial world-wiping superweapon created by Dagded]]. Unlike Gira, he embraces it once he learns this.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Upon learning his power keeps him from dying (and the monarchs giving him actual life), he decides to evoke another Fury of Gods in response.]]

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: He's functionally immortal but [[DeathSeeker loves the idea of dying]], being genuinely disappointed that nothing has managed to put him down while being jealous that someone like Dagded can be killed. [[spoiler: Then he learns his own power is keeping him alive indefinitely and it drives him down the deep end after the monarchs give him true life]].

* JustToyingWithThem: Deconstructed. The Jesters treat the destruction of planets like a game, hence why they don't just crush whatever they see mindlessly; toying with the inhabitants to turn their demises into self-fulfilling prophecies ForTheEvulz. It's also the trait the heroes are using against them: By humoring the Jesters' skirmishes and games, they can come up with ways to fight back; the aliens' capriciousness ensuring that they can only account for so much. This ends up biting the Jesters hard when [[spoiler: Racules uses Dagded's spontaneity to get an ImmortalBreaker power and turn it on him; Yanma managing to give ''everyone'' that power and even the odds]]. Even once their members begin to be taken out, they can't find themselves bothered to take the situation seriously.

* TookALevelInBadass: He was already a dangerous opponent as an undead.[[spoiler: But recieving true life greatly increased his power to nightmarish proportions.]]

* LaserGuidedKarma:[[spoiler: He thought he could achieve peace by dying. When the rangers finally kill him, Grodie is sent to the afterlife..where he's tormented for all eternity by the vengeful spirits of his many, many victims, which ensures that his afterlife won't be peaceful or tranquil at all.]]

* KatanasAreJustBetter: [[DualWielding Wields two]] of them in combat.

* EarlyBirdCameo: A retroactive example, with the Extended cut of The Ovid has him show up to [[spoiler:kill Rhyniol Husty [[BeyondTheImpossible in what is essentially Hell]].]]
-->'''Dagded:''' [[BlaséBoast That wasn’t fun]].

** To Hymeno, naturally. While Grodie is a man obsessed with dying and causes the death of those around him do to viewing life as "too noisy", Hymeno is someone who is dedicated to making sure everyone around her lives for as long as they can due to seeing the beauty of living and focuses on "selfishly" enjoying what's the most important to her. Every appearance Grodie has in the show has him seen wearing a long black coat and hat, bringing to mind the reaper, while Hymeno is a doctor who can be seen wearing different bright yellow dresses in various episodes throughout the series.

* {{Foil}}: To Hymeno, natrually. While Grodie is a man obsessed with dying and causes the death of those around him do to viewing life as "too noisy", Hymeno is someone who is dedicated to making sure everyone around her lives for as long as they can due to seeing the beauty of living and focuses on "selfishly" enjoying what's the most important to her. Every appearance Grodie has in the show has him seen wearing a long black coat and hat, bringing to mind the reaper, while Hymeno is a doctor who can be seen wearing different bright yellow dresses in various episodes throughout the series.

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: The Galactinsects spit on typical ''Super Sentai'' power-dynamics: Most ''Sentai'' {{Evil Empire}}s rely on the use of monsters to whittle populations down through zany schemes and gloat about their superiority; constantly foiled by the team's [[TeamSpirit ability to unite and drive them back weekly]] until their "superiority" is exhausted and they're dealt with. The Galactinsects exploit the nature of dynamics like this to sow chaos amongst populations and get them destroyed: They rarely use monsters at all sans the occasional reanimated corpse, the Galactinsects' wacky schemes are PlayedForHorror and come with very tangible consequences that wreak havoc on Tikyu's political structures and populace, the power gap between them and the heroes makes every victory fragile and easily undone and even reckless TeamSpirit is a liability, as the creatures are deliberately holding back to "have fun" and will nuke the planet if they're provoked too hard; making even the very act of rebelling against them a game played by their rules. The only reason why the team even stands a chance to beat them in the final arc comes from an outside source outside of everyone's expectations [[spoiler:Rcules, who spent 17 years earning Dagded's trust to give him ImmortalBreaker powers to truly end their reign]].

** His biggest one was, however, [[spoiler:creating Gira, who he used as means of manipulating the royals of Tikyuu in their war with the Bognaarok and also control the Shugods, but Gira managed to rebel against him and his underlings such as Rcules, leading to the child who should've secured another victory for him becoming his most hated and troublesome foe.]]

* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:He's compelled to help out Hilbil no matter what as part of Rcules' machinations, causing him to replace her at the last minute and be defeated by the King-Ohgers for good.]]

* {{Foil}}: To Hymeno, natrually. While Grodie is a man obsessed with dying and causes the death of those around him do to viewing life as "too nosy", Hymeno is someone who is dedicated to making sure everyone around her lives for as long as they can due to seeing the beauty of living and focuses on "selfishly" enjoying what's the most important to her. Every appearance Grodie has in the show has him seen wearing a long black coat and hat, bringing to mind the reaper, while Hymeno is a doctor who can be seen wearing different bright yellow dresses in various episodes throughout the series.

* ForTheEvulz: He caused the Fury of the Gods simply because he found everyone on Tikyū to be much too lively for his taste.
