Emblem of the Galactinsects

The Galactinsectsnote  are a group of mysterious extraterrestrial beings led by Dagded Dujardin, the self-proclaimed "King of the Universe". On the latest of their conquests throughout the universe, Dagded and his Five Jesters set their sights on Tikyū two years after the Bognaarok was defeated.

    General Tropes 
  • Aliens Are Bastards: They are intergalactic insectoids whose goals are destroying planets just for kicks.
  • Apocalypse How: The Galactinsects have caused numerous off-screen Class Sixes, which Gira gets a cursory glance at during his first interaction with Dagded. They've also subjected Earth to a Class 1; having caused the Civil War that forced most of humanity to migrate to Tikyu while leaving the stragglers at the mercy of the Deboth. Thankfully, the King-Ohgers and Kyoryugers prevent that number from escalating.
  • Atrocious Arthropods: They are insectoid aliens who serve as the villains of the second half of the series.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: Deconstructed and Discussed. The Galactinsects had long-since scoured numerous un-named planets of life by the time they'd reached Tikyu; having also set up a Villain World on Earth with the Deboth in the hopes of invoking this there too. The Kingohgers put a stop to that plan and began combatting the creatures back at home, but as Yanma noted in #39, the heroes are playing things so close to their chest precisely because of how easily the Jesters can destroy them all if they get too serious. Ultimately, they manage to reverse their victories by gradually whittling their numbers and eventually stripping Dagded of his godhood and immortality, allowing them to finish him off once and for all.
  • Bound and Gagged: Save for the last part, this is how the Jesters are punished for failure; they are restrained by being tied up before being forced to sit out of the next fight.
  • Contrasting Sequel Antagonist:
    • The Bognaarok under Dethnaarok were an underground race of mutated insectoid humans whose no-nonsense plans all worked towards the aim of exterminating humanity. The Galactinsects are a band of extraterrestrial beings whose motivation is to amuse themselves by destroying entire planets for sport.
    • The Juto were a race of artificial beastmen created and sealed away by the Noto with the ability to take on the likeness of humans; conflicts with them only occurring when The Masquerade slipped. The Galactinsects meanwhile are alien beings who deliberately engineer conflicts on planets for their own amusement. The Juto are barely-united and especially prone to in-fighting between their castes, whereas the Galactinsects are apathetic-yet-professional with one another in their extermination campaigns. While the Juto were mainly a third-party threat that lurked in the shadows and only served as antagonists from time to time, the Galactinsects are full-time villains constantly interfering in others' lives.
  • Curb Stomp Cushion: Once the monarchs get wind of their plans and foil them, they attack the Jesters relentlessly at full force and with no mercy. Hillbill got the worst of this after her plan failed.
  • Creative Sterility: As villains, this is the Galactinsects' Fatal Flaw. Despite being a group of eldritch demigods that wipe planets out for kicks, they have highly-specific methods of actually going about this. Very rarely do they work together and when dealing with a challenging planet like Tikyu, they're unable to adapt; their methods giving the heroes ample time to forge counters and Villain Beating Artifacts to deal with them.
  • Deconstructed Character Archetype:
    • The Galactinsects spit on typical Super Sentai power-dynamics: Most Sentai Evil Empires rely on the use of monsters to whittle populations down through zany schemes and gloat about their superiority; constantly foiled by the team's 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 Played for Horror 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 Team Spirit 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 Racles, who spent 17 years earning Dagded's trust to give him Immortal Breaker powers to truly end their reign.
    • They also deconstruct the lazy-but-powerful entity archetype, primarily in regards to Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? and Just Toying with Them. Due to them having destroyed countless other civilizations on countless other worlds, the Galactinsects have no reason to think that their usual method of operating would go any differently with Tikyu. This unwavering belief in their own invincibility and untouchability ends up compromising their capacity to fight against the heroes and slowly dooms them to failure once their intended victims start to not only fight back effectively but also manage to successfully destroy them one-by-one simply because they have neither the creativity nor the drive to diversify their schemes, which means that all their great power fails to make a difference once the gap between them and the Kingohgers begins to close and leads to them being wiped out by the final episode.
  • Dwindling Party: Because of their arrogance and the King-Ohgers' growing power, by the time of the final episodes only Dagded and Kamejim are left standing the rest all dead or sealed away in Minongan's case; though even at such low numbers they prove to be the deadliest threats to be faced yet.
  • Evil Only Has to Win Once: Yanma posits in #39 that if the Galactinsects ever stop treating the conquest of Tikyu as a game, they'll wipe the planet out in an instant.
  • Gang of Hats: A group of them; owing to their specialties. Hillbill is exclusively the Mind Control specialist, Goma is the body-swapper, etc.
  • Just Toying with Them: 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 For the Evulz. 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 Racules uses Dagded's spontaneity to get an Immortal Breaker power and turn it on him; Yanma managing to give everyone that power and even the odds. Even as their members dwindle one-by-one, they can't find themselves bothered to take the situation seriously. By the final episode, only Kamejim and Dagded are left and both meet their permanent ends.
  • Knight of Cerebus: 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. 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.
  • Laughably Evil: Even as they are sowing chaos and destruction for kicks, the way they go about it can be hysterical, especially when they're just goofing around off the clock.
  • Let's You and Him Fight: Their M.O. outside of direct intervention is to goad two peoples of a planet into a conflict until one side wins or Mutually Assured Destruction is assured, upon which they'll either vassalize the surviving race or exterminate them if they remain defiant.
  • Lovecraft Lite: The Galactinsects are an entire horde of Eldritch Abominations with power over almost all living things in some form that have decimated an untold amount of sentient beings and worlds in the years leading up to the show (Earth of all places was in the process of becoming another casualty!). They're also Laughably Evil with gimmicks, tics, and preferences that let each of them stand out.
  • The Man Behind the Man: The Galactinsects sow chaos into the ranks of a planet by integrating themselves into the politics / dynamics of its denizens and turning them all on each other.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: Their debut episode reveals that they've wiped out the entire population of multiple planets that go up to the thousands with Tikyu being their latest target.
  • Psycho for Hire: Unlike the people they force into their games, the Jesters are all every bit as sadistic as their king is and enjoy mass murder.
  • Punny Name: Their name in Japanese is 宇蟲/uchū, a play on 宇宙 ("universe/galaxy/cosmos"), and 虫 ("insect").
  • The Psycho Rangers: Unlike most Sentai villains, they don't use the Monster of the Week formula, instead there being six of them in total, each serving as an Evil Counterpart to one of the monarchs. Enforced further when some of them take over the kingdoms with Shugo Mask.
  • Serial Escalation: The Galactinsects are basically what happens when Super Sentai villains get blind DRUNK on this trope, as their goals of destruction vastly outclass the Tozitendo Dynasty, who only sought to imprison and conquer.
  • Sigil Spam: As with the Bognaarok, the Galactinsects have their emblem somewhere on their person or equipment.
  • Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: While King-Ohger is in no way Lighter and Softer, the already Darker and Edgier tone the series has considerably deepens once the Galactinsects make their move. That being said, the Galactinsects have far more comical moments than the Bognaarok due to their quirky personalities.
  • Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: The Jesters treat the extermination of planets as a game and thus integrate themselves into their target world's political structures to squeeze it dry rather than just demolish them. They're so dedicated to this that it gives Racules the time he needs to convince Dagded to turn the ZERO into an Immortal Breaker for a betrayal and the heroes the means to finally strike back and take them down.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/osko_dagded_dujardin.png
The Galactinsect King

You're a pretty smart guy! I am mocking you.

Habitat: Shugoddam (daytime)
Favorite: Cleaning up
King: The Creator of the Insect World

The leader of the Galactinsects, who proclaims himself to be the king of the entire universe. He has his eyes set on Tikyū for his next conquest, planning to destroy everyone on it.
  • Above the Gods: Is revealed to have created the Shugods and is more powerful than them combined.
  • Ambiguous Situation: It's unclear if his ability to come back is actual resurrection or just a clone with the same memories, as it's theorized killing Minongan incorrectly might just result in a second Dagded.
  • Animal Motifs: Dagded's design and name are derived from water bears, who are famous for being able to survive almost anything that would kill anything else. This is reflected in the series, as Dagded is so utterly resilient that the monarchs had to resort to extreme measures to even injure him. He also has a secondary motif; Cockroaches, as in addition to being frustratingly hard to kill Dagded is universally disliked by everyone but his subordinates.
  • Archnemesis Dad: He created Gira by magically impregnating his mother, and thus, is his real father. But the two are nothing less than enemies before and after the reveal of this.
  • Alliterative Name: Dagded Dujardin.
  • Bad Boss: He punishes the Jesters whenever their plans end up failing, usually by tying them up and forcing them to sit on the sidelines. Kamejim even has to remind him who Grodie is due to his general apathy for those he deems as lesser beings, even including his own Jesters.
  • Berserk Button: Get even one syllable of his name wrong and you're in for a world of trouble, as Shugoddam learns first-hand.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: He maybe a jokester who spends most of his time playing around, but he is the leader of the Galactinsects for a very good reason.
  • Bright Is Not Good: His outfit features white and bright blue colors, in contrast to Dethnaarok's dark red-and-black color scheme.
  • The Caligula: It's made immediately clear that the only qualifying factor that gives Dagded his title and status is his pure, unadulterated raw power, as he has absolutely none of the other factors that denote kingship. For reference, he makes Ohma Zi-O look like he has his head on straight.
  • Contrasting Sequel Antagonist:
    • While Dethnaarok was a no-nonsense Frontline General whose actions were driven by vengeance against humanity for their ill-treatment of the Bognaarok, Dagded prefers to let his Jesters run the operation and rarely intervenes himself, with amusement serving as his primary motivation. Even their color schemes are contrasted with each other — Dagded wears white and blue as opposed to Dethnaarok's black and red. Additionally, Dethnaarok also had just enough sense to allow for some form of honor and reason, whereas Dagded is chronically unscrupulous and dishonest.
    • Racules was someone who was obsessed with getting political power and controlling other countries while putting on a benevolent facade. Dagded is an incredibly powerful being who already has the ability to rule over the universe, instead choosing to play games in order to "clean up" various planets of their inhabitants, and couldn't care less about what others thought of him as long as they recognized him as powerful. In addition, while Racules was ultimately shown to have benevolent motivations for his actions, Dagded is solely motivated by self-amusement.
  • Control Freak: It's easy to miss at first, as he's fine with unforeseen variables in his 'game,' but that's only so long as everyone is still playing by his rules and he wants to keep playing. All it really takes is the people of the world all uniting against him and refusing to die when he wants to end the game, and thus breaking the 'rules' of the game he wants to play (that being inner conflict and infighting), to make him lose his cool.
  • The Corrupter: He's revealed to be this to previous Shugoddam kings, being the one to strongarm them into continuing the conflict with the Bognaarok.
  • Corrupted Character Copy:
    • Of Star Trek's Q in being an all-powerful being that plays around with the main cast. The difference is Q cares about humanity on some level while Dagded acts out of sheer sadistic pleasure.
    • Of Beerus from the Dragon Ball series, both tasked with de-cluttering the universe as destructive beings. But whereas Beerus has redeeming qualities while personally destroying planets that fail to meet his expectations, Dagded has none and makes a game out of using others to do his dirty work most of the time.
  • Cosmic Entity: He provides a necessary function of the universe, destroying worlds when they begin to clutter the universe. Though he ultimately barely even does his job as intended and starts destroying worlds just because he finds it funny, not even using his own powers to do the deed quick and clean but rather sadistically setting every planet's inhabitants to turn on each other and destroy themselves.
  • Create Your Own Hero: Twice over in fact!
    • He created Gira in order to directly control the Shugods when the time came. Not only did Gira go on to befriend them and gave them the willpower to resist Dagded's control over them, Gira went on to defy and rebel against Dagded's rule.
    • Him revealing his existence to Racules and his role in instigating the "Fury of the Gods" which resulted in the death of countless people including Racules' father had the then young king to swear to do whatever it took to bring down Dagded, formulating the seventeen year long plan in order to gain the power to kill Dagded.
  • Die Laughing: Dagded meets his apparent end with deranged maniacal cackling. Subverted with his true death, where he goes out screaming.
  • The Dreaded: The Shugods' reaction to his arrival is to run and hide while completely terrified. He also incites a Mass "Oh, Crap!" reaction in the population of Shugoddam by invoking the imagery of the Fury of the Gods as his introduction to them.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: A retroactive example - He shows up in The Stinger of the Extended cut of The Movie to kill Reniol Husty in what is essentially Hell.
  • Eldritch Abomination: Dagded is a being who uses the entire universe as his playground, which he emphasizes to Gira in order to drive how just how insignificant Tikyū is in the greater scope of things.
  • Establishing Character Moment: After clearing up a swarm in an instance, he tries to converse with Shugoddam in his native tongue, then apologizes about that and asks if they can understand what he's saying in their native tongue. Later on, he manhandles Kamejim when he finds out there were Bognaarok survivors.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: As much as Racules' attempt to join the Jesters impresses him, Dagded is far from amused that he made Goma a Sacrificial Lion for his power play. Not so much because he has a moral objection to using allies and discarding when convenient, but more because Goma's death was wholly unnecessary for his own goals and it leaves him with one less minion until Racules steps up in his place.
  • Evil Counterpart: To Gira. Both are the leaders of their respective factions, but while Gira eventually dropped his fake "tyrant king" persona in favor of being a more benevolent ruler, Dagded is much more of a sadist who ruins other people's lives for fun.
  • Evil Is Bigger: Dagded's true form is so gigantic he considers the entire universe his bedroom and Yanma refers to him as 'universe-sized.'
  • Evil Is Hammy: In a World of Ham, this incomprehensibly powerful being that is cosmic horror incarnate stands at the top as the most hammy of them all.
  • Expy:
    • Is essentially Long being a godlike creature with Resurrective Immortality who was responsible for corrupting both The Rival and the Disc-One Final Boss to make his immortal life more enjoyable.
    • Also cast in the same mold as Genis as both treat causing the destruction of various races as a game, sending their minions to do most of the work.
    • The events of the series reveal him to be one to Evolt. Both are absurdly powered extraterrestrials primarily motivated by self-amusement whose M.O. includes pitting two or more sides together, and start off far ahead of the heroes power-wise until the latter eventually start to catch up. Like Evolt, he even shares a biologically familial bond with one of the heroes by virtue of impregnating their mother.
    • Takes a lot of cues from the Toymaker as a being of unknown origins beyond mortal comprehension who uses his unfathomable power to play "games" of life and death with people while treating and viewing everything in the universe as playthings to do as he pleases with.
    • Of the Anti-Spiral from Gurren Lagann. They are both extraordinarily powerful cosmic beings who face the heroes in the second half of their respective series. The sheer scope of their power presents an far more terrifying challenge compared to the first set of villains.
    • Red and white as prominent colors, reality warper powers, ridiculously powerful abilities, sadistic with no form of empathy, and a number of the heroes have a personal beef with him. He's basically Suel in sentai flavor, though ironically, Dagded debuted after he died.
  • Fatal Flaw:
    • 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, feigning madness in order to let his guard down and out him as the Big Bad, 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 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.
    • Connected to the first, it becomes apparent Dagded's worst sin is Sloth, and simply can't be bothered to get his hands dirty unless absolutely necessary. Even when he does get involved in a fight, he never actually goes all out, putting his all into the fight, rather using the bare minimum effort he believes will be needed. This likewise blows up in his face, as his inability to just kill the heroes ultimately gives them the chance to get their Heroic Second Wind.
  • Faux Affably Evil: His introductory scene is of him trying to make repartee with the people of Shugoddam, then when Gira gets his name wrong he proceeds to drop a bunch of planets onto the kingdom.
  • Final Boss: The last and most powerful enemy the monarchs face in the series.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: He's revealed to have manipulated the previous kings of Shugoddam into pursuing the war with the Bognaarok for his own amusement in the first half of the series. He steps himself up as the Big Bad of the second half, which is centered around his forces' clashes with the monarchs. He's also revealed to have set the new Deboth Army against Earth in #32 and in #40 is outed as Gira's creator.
  • Hate Sink: Dagded's generally fun screen-time belies his cruel and dismissive nature towards other beings and the nonchalant nature of his heartless actions means that neither the King-Ohgers nor the Kyoryugers are willing to tolerate his antics.
  • Hidden Depths: #38 reveals that he's a big fan of dance group The Rampage from Exile Tribe and idol Marina Iko.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard:
    • Racules tricks him into empowering the OhgerCalibur ZERO to Immortal Breaker status, thus making the weapon used to finally defeat him. To further drive the point home, said weapon was used by Gira, the same man he planned to use to destroy Tikyu.
    • He created the Shugods, but they rebelled against him. Ultimately, they're the ones who end up defeating him, allowing the King-Ohgers to finish him off.
    • Dagded ordering Kamejim to interfere in the planned evacuation smashes the planet's collective Rage Breaking Point - He prevented the evacuation...by causing everyone to declare war on him instead.
  • It Amused Me: His motivation for goading planets into self-destructive wars is to gain entertainment from the sight of "lesser" beings destroying each other.
  • Killed Off for Real: After constantly terrorizing Tikyu and the universe in general, Dagded meets his permanent end at the hands of the rangers in the finale, though they had to sacrifice the Shugods in order to do so.
  • Laughably Evil: His childish, hyperactive attitude makes him quite the standout and outlandish figure in and out of doing horrific things that threaten the lives of entire civilizations.
  • Lazy Bum: Dagded is a Reality Warper to the point of viewing destroying civilizations as 'cleaning his room'...which makes the fact he relies almost entirely on his Jesters to actually do it, and even when he does get involved directly, he only does the bare minimum effort he believes necessary.
  • Let's Get Dangerous!: Defied. Instead of going all-out against The King-Ohgers, who have have formed a mech capable of attaining his own universe-sized height, Dagded continues to prioritize de-moralizing speeches and intimidation over really fighting back; giving the King-Ohgers the chance to punch him across the boundaries of reality and properly execute him back on the ground.
  • The Man Behind the Man: Dagded instigated the war between Shugoddam and Boggnarok 2,000 years ago; blackmailing said nation's kings into playing ball with his extermination campaign in exchange for their nation's survival. Gira defying this takes him by surprise and starts the second-half of the show.
  • Meaningful Name: His last name is derived from the Hypsibius dujardini species of water bear. Water bears (also known as tardigrades) are highly resilient organisms, and are famously capable of withstanding the conditions of outer space without protection. "Dagded" (ダグデド) may be a modification of "tardigrade" (ターディグレイド), but this is less certain.
  • Mini-Mecha: Dagded isn't a human-sized alien wearing a suit of armor - he's a pint-sized alien piloting a human-sized mech, with the cockpit being the glass dome at the top of the suit's head. Though his ability to change size means he can turn it into a Humongous Mecha at will. The King-Ohgers finally kill him by attacking him directly once he's weakened too badly to resist.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain:
    • The monarchs exploit Dagded's showboating tendencies to lure him into outing the Galactinsects on live television.
    • Zigzagged with Dagded sending the King-Ohgers to Earth. While this leads to the undoing of the Galactinsects' efforts to revive the Deboth Army, this also meant that they could take over Tikyū without much opposition, even with the reinforcement they got.
    • Dagded interferes with Goma's scheme in #38 to create a criminal army; forcing him to help Minongan with his idol competition instead. This ensures that Minongan is too busy goofing off to take fighting Rita seriously, making the Jesters' efforts in Gokkan a complete waste.
    • His biggest one was, however, 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 Racles, leading to the child who should've secured another victory for him becoming his most hated and troublesome foe.
    • By empowering the ZERO, Dagded gave the monarchs a weapon that will potentially kill Glodie, preventing any more of the deceased from returning, as well as threaten Dagded himself. Yanma then proceeded to copy that same upgrade onto the other Kings' weapons, meaning the entire team now has the capability of killing immortals.
  • Nigh-Invulnerable: Dagded is immortal, and thus next to nothing is actually capable of meaningfully damaging him at all. It's only when tricked into creating an Immortal Breaker weapon that he's in any actual danger. He fully loses this in the finale after the Shugods' sacrifice strips him of his immortality and omnipotence, leaving him easy pickings for the King-Ohger to finish off.
  • Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: He's constantly referred to his invasions as "tidying up" planets, but his true motivation is clearly sadistic amusement.
  • Orcus on His Throne: 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. His actions when he does get involves shows this is as much him wanting entertained as it is him just being extremely lazy.
  • Outside-Context Problem: To the Kyoryugers. From how they tell it, Dagded just appeared out of nowhere two years ago with a never before seen Deboss commander and granted him the power to take away Earth's bravery, making them powerless to stop the Deboss army from taking over.
  • Outside-Genre Foe: A High Fantasy political Conspiracy Thriller setting finds itself being attacked by a being who comes across as something straight out of the Cthulhu Mythos.
  • Out of Continues: The Jesters all being killed off and Minongan sealed away renders Dagded mortal, so he won't be coming back after the King-Ohgers finally do him in.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: It comes with the territory when your duty requires planetary destruction;, the Ohsama Sentai lampshading that he could invoke this any time if he's provoked too much.
  • Pet the Dog: Almost literally with Minongan in #38, although Minongan being a Body Backup Drive has more to do with it than anything.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Careful examination of his head shows that Dagded is actually a diminutive alien piloting a human-sized mech suit.
  • Practically Joker: He's the alien equivalent of the Clown Prince of Crime. His mannerisms are clownish but is also a psychopathic tyrant bent on causing genocide at a planetary scale just for fun and is the most personal nemesis to the Red Ranger, and even ended up dying laughing.
  • Psychopathic Manchild: He has the mannerisms of a petulant, hyperactive child... who thinks nothing about committing multiple mass genocides on a whim. It's also shown that Dagded is a spoiled brat who can't stand things not going his way.
  • Reduced to Dust: In contrast to the explosion his first death caused, his final death sees his diced up true form disintegrate into golden particles before his Mini-Mecha rapidly turns to dust.
  • Resurrective Immortality: If he’s ever killed, he can respawn via Minongan. However, the heroes waste no time sealing Minongan away, making him mortal..
  • Shadow Archetype: To the Ohsama Sentai overall, with Dagded's status as The Caligula serving as an dark mirror to the Kingohgers' own positions as The Wonka.
    • Like Gira, Dagded is a being with various powers that allow him to effectively rule as a king and defeat any potential opposition. However, Gira uses his various powers to defend Tikyu and its people, while Dagded uses his to play games with the lives of people and entire worlds. He can effectively be what Gira would be if he ever let his "King of Evil" act become genuine. The fact that Dagded created Gira in the first place solidifies this parallel.
    • Like Yanma, Dagded is defined by his immense pride brought about by his feats and capabilities. In fact, Yanma outright becomes Drunk On Power in #44 when he lets his portion of the King's Proof consume his sensibilities until he was pulled back. Dagded serves as an example of what Yanma would have become if he let his arrogance overtake his morality.
    • Like Hymeno, Dagded is mainly characterized by being driven by selfishness and to get what he desires no matter what. However, Hymeno's selfishness is something she uses to get the best for the people around her and her kingdom, while Dagded's selfishness has him view those around as toys for him to play and break. He represents what Hymeno would be if she stopped caring about the lives around her and only cared about what she wanted.
    • Like Rita, Dagded can be considered the ultimate authority of the universe due to his self proclaimed status as king of the universe, similar to how Rita's position as Chief Justice makes them the ultimate authority of Tikyu, even above the other monarchs of the world. Dagded is what Rita could be if they didn't care about neutrality and abused their position to get whatever they wanted.
    • Like Kaguragi, Dagded's hammy and over the top personality hides his more darker traits as an manipulator who uses others for his own ends. However, Kaguragi's actions all serve to protect his nation and the people he rules over, while Dagded's actions is born from wanting to be entertained and to avoid being bored. Dagded represents what Kaguragi would be if he only cared for his own interests above all others with no one else in mind.
    • Like Jeramie was in Part I, Dagded is an eccetric man who tends to force others to do what he wants due to being powerful enough to enforce his way of thinking. However, Jeramie's Character Development had him realize the error of going about things and made efforts to be better at coorperating with other for his goals, which is somethign Dagded never even considered through the series. Dagded shows what Jeramie would have been if he never learned from his mistakes and stuck with his way of thinking.
  • Space Master: As the self-proclaimed king of the entire universe, his power set demonstrates mastery over it which manifests as the ability to teleport anywhere within it, freely change his size from gargantuan to minuscule and vice versa, use planets and other cosmic bodies as projectiles, or to use portals to transport people from one end of the universe to the other.
  • Soul Jar: Has one in the form of Minongan. As long as he's alive, Dagded can't truly be destroyed. Turns out sealing Minongan away works just as well.
  • The Sociopath: He views everyone else (Jesters and "son" included) as inferior to the greatness that is Dagded Dujardin, orchestrates wars on a galactic scale with great effectiveness, never showed kindness to anyone unless it suits his purposes, and is a horrible alien who only does what he does to indulge in his own sadism. His Laughably Evil traits give him some kind of superficial charm, but he can drop it quickly and go into a rage over reasons as petty as others getting his name wrong.
  • The Thing That Would Not Leave: A villainous application of this trope, as the monarchs treat Dagded with as much contempt as a homeowner would a stubbornly resistant cockroach.
  • Truly Single Parent: He created Gira and even states he is Gira's "father and mother at the same time". Downplayed in that Gira's creation involved impregnating the queen of Shugoddam with his magic.
  • Undignified Death: After an epic battle, he's ultimately killed not by exploding or anything particularly flashy, but the Kings all stabbing him at once when they finally have him cornered while he's whimpering and screaming in fear and panic.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: While nigh-omnipotent, Dagded has no clue how to actually fight since he's used to just steamrolling everything with his reality bending powers and being nigh impossible to actually damage. Once he's tricked into giving Racules a weapon that can actually hurt him, his 'fighting style' consists of 'spam big power attacks over and over again' when forced into a real fight and having difficulty meaningfully defending himself. Racules and Dagded himself even note Dagded has never actually felt pain before. This continues in the final battle, where he mainly relies on pure power and has difficulty actually defending himself against an equal opponent.
  • Villainous Breakdown: After the King's subjects, alive and dead show up to aid them, Dagded's gleeful sadism begins slipping as he becomes more and more frustated his enemies just won't die when he wants them to, as he begins sounding genuinely angry. The final episode shows him furiously engaging an enlarged Ultimate King-Ohger and crazily laughing when he thinks he's got them on the ropes. After getting his immortality and omnipotence completely punched out of him, he's reduced to pathetically whimpering, before angrily and insanely shrieking at the monarchs to not mess with him as they finish him off.
  • Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: It's noted Dagded is more than powerful enough he could've won the moment he arrived, but doesn't. This is due to a combination of his sadistic desire to draw out destroying civilizations for his own amusement, and him being too lazy to actually put full effort into anything.
  • Why Won't You Die?: During the Final Battle, as more allies show up to help and his forces continue to prove incapable of killing them, Dagded becomes more and more frustrated that the heroes just won't die.
    Dagded: What's with you people!?
  • World's Strongest Man: His very first episode marks him as possibly the most powerful being in King-Ohger thanks to his casual Reality Warping and otherworldly powers that go as far as letting him fling planets like projectiles. In fact, the only one who can considered stronger than him in the entirety of Super Sentai is the Creator of Worlds, a being who all signs point to being God himself.

The Dubious

Habitat: N'Kosopa (night)
Favorite: Ninja introduction
King: The Shuffle King of the Insect World

A Galactinsect who specializes in ninjutsu.
  • Big Bad Wannabe: Downplayed. He's a Galactinsect and a notch above the heroes certainly, but his incursions are smaller in-scope compared to the other Jesters and both are de-railed; the first time by his own arrogance letting the heroes collaborate and adjust and the second through Dagded's spontaneity forcing him to capitulate to Minongan. Perhaps fittingly, he's the first Jester to meet his permanent end.
  • Confusion Fu: As the Ninja of the Jesters, his abilities involve sowing chaos and confusion among his enemies.
  • Demoted to Extra: Goma gets a Body Swap episode to himself, then bench-warms until #38. The scheme he wants to kick off is promptly de-railed in favor of Minongan's shenanigans. Then in the following episode, he dies.
  • Evil Counterpart:
    • To Yanma, someone who also primarily dresses in blue. While Yanma primarily uses ranged weaponry and specializes in using technology to solve his problems, Goma prefers to use his katanas when fighting, and specializes in using ninjutsu when dealing with his enemies.
    • To Rita as both rule over Gokkan, Rita using the law to dispatch their enemies while Goma deals with his by sowing chaos among them.
  • "Freaky Friday" Flip: His whole schtick. He can move peoples' souls into others' bodies or even morally invert them outright.
  • Freaky Friday Sabotage: Goma's modus-operandi. Every plan he's instigated has involved the swapping of bodies or souls in some shape or form; usually to sow chaos within the ranks of the swapped or goad them into doing his bidding.
  • Katanas Are Just Better: Wields two of them in combat.
  • Meaningful Name: His first name is derived from the Japanese name for the citrus longhorn beetle (胡麻斑天牛/ gomatarakamikiri), while his last name is derived from the scientific name for the banded alder borer, Rosalia funebris.
  • Mirror Morality Machine: His helmet is one; being the gadget he uses to invert peoples' moralities. It's also not very sturdy and a good smash to it undoes his hold over Gokkan instantly.
  • Only Sane Man: He's not one for theatrics amongst his fellow Jesters, often playing the straight man as a result.
  • Out of Focus: Downplayed. Goma is the first Jester the heroes face in a real battle. He's Demoted to Extra after that point in favor of more narrative-oriented Jesters like Hillbill. While he makes sporadic background appearances, he only gets one more episode to do much of anything; the very next one ending in his destruction.
  • Rasputinian Death: It takes facing off against a powered-up King Kuwagata Ohger and Papillon Ohger, then tanking a finisher from all six powered-up King-Ohgers to finally bring him down once and for all.
  • Red Baron: He's known as "the Dubious".
  • Sacrificial Lion: He is the first of the Galactinsects' casualties to be demonstrated the step-up of King-Ohgers' powers.
  • Starter Villain: As far as the Jesters go. He's the least expressive of the group and has a relatively-simple, easy-to-counter gimmick. He's the first Post-Time Skip enemy the heroes have to truly collaborate against and establishes the pacing for a non-MOTW-oriented second act.
  • Taking the Bullet: He's compelled to help out Hilbil no matter what as part of Racles's machinations, causing him to replace her at the last minute and be defeated by the King-Ohgers for good.
  • The Stoic: Goma isn't very talkative compared to the other Jesters (Even fellow Stoic Grodie has his quirks); remaining straight-laced the whole time.

    Hilbil Lich

The Enticing

Habitat: Shugoddam (dark clouds)
Favorite: Requests
King: The Control Queen of the Insect World

The sole female Galactinsect Jester with the ability to manipulate people. Her pliant body allows her to easily dodge and cling onto enemy combatants.
  • Compelling Voice: She can manipulate people by whispering in their ears what she wants them to do.
  • Evil Counterpart:
    • To Hymeno, as both of them are The Smurfette of their respective factions. While Hymeno encourages people to be selfish in order to improve their lives, Hilbil is more manipulative and encourages the worst in people so they can do what she wants to do.
    • To Yanma, as both of them rule over N'Kosopa but have a Pink Girl, Blue Boy dynmatic. While Yanma is a blunt, direct leader, Hilbil prefers to command through the use of her Compelling Voice.
  • Karma Houdini: Of the primary roster of the Galactinsect Jesters, Hilbil's actions are so revolting she is only topped by Glodie and Dagded in terms of sadism, yet despite lacking their immortality she is able to escape the clutches of death.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Is ultimately taken out by Yanma, the king of the very kingdom she ruled and destroyed.
  • Logical Weakness: For her powers to work Hilbil must directly whisper in someone's ears. This means that unless she gets the drop on her victim, all they have to do is either keep their distance or cover their ears, like Shiokara did with earplugs.
  • Magic A Is Magic A: Hilbil's Compelling Voice only works when she whispers in people's ears. While it does mean that she was able to take over N'Kosopa by broadcasting her voice into everyone's headsets and earphones, this also means that she can't compel the citizens of the other kingdoms through speaking regularly.
  • Meaningful Name: Her name is derived from hiru/蛭, the Japanese word for leech.
  • More than Mind Control: She can manipulate people into doing what she wants them to do, preying on their deep-seated desires and insecurities. Only two people are outright immune to this: Kaguragi's deceptive abilities will even work on himself while Gira is revealed to be immune because of his status as Dagded's progeny, thus Hilbil doesn't even bother with him.
  • Pink Is Feminine: She's the sole female Jester, and her armor is predominantly pink.
  • Red Baron: She's known as "the Enticing".

    Minongan Mouz 

Portrayed by: Tomokazu Seki (voice), Takuma Komori (suit)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/osko_minongan_mouz.png
The Hidden

Habitat: Gokkan (midnight sun)
Favorites: Cute Hilbil
King: The Time King of the Insect World

The strongest of the Five Jesters. His ability is a mystery, but is said to be the most powerful.
  • Alliterative Name: Minongan Mouz.
  • Body Backup Drive: He turns out to be one for Dagded, allowing the latter to come back as the King-Ohgers defeat the former. He somehow survives the ordeal, but at the cost of his memories.
  • Brief Accent Imitation: Each of Minongan's outings as an antagonist see him speaking (and acting) radically different every time. He starts off with a Simpleton Voice, adopts an American-sounding dialect for his time as an idol manager, uses an evil Mouth of Sauron voice in #43 and ends his run as a general by going full-circle back to his dumb-sounding voice.
  • The Brute: Thus far, he's only served as muscle for the other Galactinsects and doing their work instead of masterminding his own plans. Subverted from #38 onward, in which he becomes more actively involved in the battle for Tikyu.
  • Carry a Big Stick: Said Big Sticks being his own fists. He can even increase their size to deal extra damage.
  • Easily Forgiven: Dagded is much more forgiving of Minongan's failure to maintain the idol concert in #38 than he'd been of the other Jesters' failures up to that point. His tantrum at the start of the following episode shows that has limits, though. As Minongan is Dagded's Body Backup Drive, it makes sense he'd be a bit more careful with him.
  • Establishing Character Moment: After incapacitating Kuroda and the other kuroko, Minongan attempts to introduce himself, only to immediately screw up on his own epithet, establishing him as the Jesters' Dumb Muscle.
  • Evil Counterpart:
    • To Kaguragi. Both of them serve as The Big Guy for their respective factions, but while Kaguragi hides his true intelligence while manipulating people, Minongan is far less intelligent... at least on the surface.
    • To Rita. Both of them are lepidopteran-based warriors who hide their true selves from the world. In Rita's case, it's more figurative, hiding their true personality. But it's more literal in Minongan's case, holding an inactive clone of Dagded within his armor.
  • Expy: Serves as the Sanyo to Dagded’s Long, being an immortal creature who seems purely comedic at first, but is actually a Body Backup Drive for their master.
  • Hidden Depths: Played With. Befitting his title, Minongan is more that what he appears. In #38, he outright admits to Rita that there's more to him than meets the eye. While their conversation is framed like a reference to personality - he was actually being literal. He's Dagded's Body Backup Drive.
  • Human Popsicle: His ultimate fate is being sealed in a prison of ice by Rita with Kaguragi's help. Not only does this take him out of the fight, but it also prevents him from spawning Dagded after his defeat.
  • Meaningful Name:
    • His first name is derived from ミノガ科/ minogaka, the Japanese name for the Psychidae family of moths.
    • His epithet of "The Hidden" isn't just for show, as it turns out he's hiding something within himself that is hinted at in #38.
  • Moth Menace: He's themed on a moth, and is one of the enemy generals.
  • Power Stereotype Flip: Downplayed. Minongan is introduced as the Jesters' Dumb Muscle. And he is very much that. However, he's also both a Time Master capable of affecting people's age and a subtle Sizeshifter; the first of which isn't usually associated with brutes like Minongan.
  • Professional Voice Dissonance: During his time as manager of Gokkan's idols, Minongan ditches his Simpleton Voice for an awkward-sounding American accent.
  • Red Baron: He's known as "the Hidden", though he can't quite remember why. Turns out he's Dagded's Body Backup Drive.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: As of #45. Rita and Kaguragi use their King's Proofs in-tandem to seal Minongan away in a prison of ice instead of destroying his body; preventing Dagded from ever using him to come back.
  • Sizeshifter: He can increase the size of his hands for stronger punches. #45 reveals that he can also make himself small to avoid enemy attacks.
  • Smarter Than You Look: Normally acting as the Dumb Muscle for the Galactinsects, Minongan turns out to be surprisingly effective at hosting an idol competition, among other things.
  • Time Master: He's able to make people age rapidly or become much younger, either physically or mentally. This foreshadows his status as Dagded's Body Backup Drive, given their similar power sets.

The Tranquil

I love the dead so much, but they just seem to hate me instead. Sad, isn't it?

Habitat: Shugoddam (night)
Favorite: Corpses
King: The Undead King of the Insect World

The true culprit behind the Fury of the Gods, having been sealed away by Gokkan's former king Karras. He has the power of necromancy, capable of reviving creatures as mindless puppets.
  • Ambiguously Human: Before episode #37 revealed his true form, Grodie appeared mostly in human form with his Necromancer powers and allegiance to the Galactinsects put his status as a human into question. Episode #46 then reveals he was never alive to begin with.
  • Arch-Enemy:
    • To Hymeno, being the one who killed her parents.
    • Also to Kaguragi, as he was the one who poisoned Toufu's food supply during the Fury of the Gods, which led Iroki to make herself out to be a tyrant in order to protect her people, forcing Kaguragi to rebel against her.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: 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, the bad place also exists.
  • Blessed with Suck: Grodie views his powers as this. He prefers the dead but is in some way immortal, thus he cannot die to join them.
  • But for Me, It Was Tuesday: He doesn't recall assassinating Hymeno's parents during the Fury of the Gods, due to his massive kill count along with his severe apathy.
  • Casting Gag: This is not the first time Kousei Amano has ever portrayed a Tokusatsu villain associated with alien-like monsters, much less in a series of insect-themed heroes where kings are an important motif. Amano's wife also happens to be Akiko Hinagata, the actress playing Iroki, adding irony to Grodie and Iroki's antagonistic relationship in the series (especially since Amano has an infamous reputation for constantly gushing about his wife in real life).
  • Cold Ham: Downplayed. While he's prone to letting out a malicious smirk or laugh, Grodie is neither playful nor funny in contrast to his fellow Jesters, with his voice barely rising above a loud whisper.
  • Dark Is Evil: His choice of attire in human form is that of a black hooded robe and and wide brimmed hat, invoking the imagery of The Grim Reaper, with his monster form featuring pitch-black armor. Compared to the rest of the Jesters, he's arguably the worst of the bunch.
  • Dead All Along: He is revived to be a corpse continously revived by his own power. Ends up Zig-Zagged when he is given true life.
  • Death Seeker: He hates the fact he's immortal, as he prefers the dead and wants to die. Played for Laughs in scenes where he's not the focus; his fascination with Dagded's temporary death used for Black Comedy one-liners. Then he learns he is already dead with his own power reanimating him, made worst when he recieves true life.
  • Dragged Off to Hell: 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.
  • Evil Counterpart:
    • To Jeramie as their respective teams' Sixth Ranger who lived for ages. While Jeramie is prone to theatrics when interacting with others and only made immortal by his father's King's Proof, Grodie is more of a Soft-Spoken Sadist who is a corpse continuously animated by his power. In addition, while Jeramie was initially believed to be behind the Fury of the Gods, Grodie was the true perpetrator.
    • To Kaguragi as both are hammy rulers of Toufu responsible for Iroki's death, Kaguragi being a Large Ham who removed Iroki from power for the sake of their country with pride in its produce while Grodie is a Cold Ham who forced Iroki to become a tyrant by poisoning Toufu's food supply and later restored her regime to grind the kingdom to the ground.
    • To Gira as both are 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 Tyke Bomb 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 Corsus' plan to feed him the other Shugods' Souls was successful.
  • Foil:
    • To Hymeno, naturally. While Grodie is an immortal alien obsessed with dying and causes the death of those around him as a result of viewing life as "too noisy", Hymeno is an human being 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 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.
    • To Gira, as both are 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 Bad Boss 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.
  • For the Evulz: He caused the Fury of the Gods simply because he found everyone on Tikyū to be much too lively for his taste.
  • Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He's a bespectacled man who is arguably the cruelest and most sadistic of the Galactinsect Jesters.
  • Hate Sink: He proves to be the most despicable and most violent of Galactinsect generals, even taunting the deaths of Hymeno's parents.
  • Here We Go Again!: When Kamejim and Minongan release him from Karras' prison, Grodie reacts to Kamejim relaying Dugded's orders like he's heard it a thousand times; assuming they're going for the usual Let's You and Him Fight operation. It's only when he's told that Dugded wants nothing alive this time that he responds in any way.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: He seemingly gets killed anticlimactically as a result of one of his zombies randomly deciding to shoot him, but he turns to be impossible to kill so this doesn't bother him.
  • I Cannot Self-Terminate: Revealed to be an reanimated corpse, it is clear that Death Seeker Grodie cannot cancel his own power.
  • Inconsistent Spelling: His name has been rendered as "Grodie" or "Glodi".
  • Ironic Hell: 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.
  • Knight of Cerebus: The Galactinsects are established as Lovecraft Lite, yet each of them are at least playful in some capacity. Very little about Grodie is played for comedy. He quickly establishes himself as a dark, gloomy force of death and decay with clear involvement in two of the King-Ohgers' personal tragedies; his lackadaisical disregard for everything around him making him scary rather than weird. That is, when he's the focus. When he's simply lounging with the other Jesters as a background character, said death-fetish references are used for morbid comedy instead of horror.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: 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.
  • Make My Monster Grow: The closest thing to the trope the Galactinsects have. Most of the corpses Grodie's reanimated have been fought at giant-size with King-Ohger. However, the other Jesters can enlarge themselves too.
  • Meaningful Name: His last name is derived from Leucochloridium, a genus of parasitic trematode worms.
  • Monstrosity Equals Weakness: Played for Horror. After Hymeno and Jeramie 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.
  • Necessary Drawback: While he can revive any creature back from the dead, he's unable to control their actions. It suits him just fine anyway, as letting the undead wreak havoc and create chaos is in line with his M.O and motive. Since he can't die and that he wants to die, getting attacked by his own zombies doesn't affect him and if one manages to? Win for him.
  • Necromancer: He's capable of reviving creatures of any sort into nearly mindless zombies simply by commanding them to "wake up". He's also been using this power on himself the whole time, albeit unaware of that.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: #37 reveals he is the Blob Monster kind, being able to melt himself into a liquid state before reforming himself into his monster form. This nature is the reason he can't die, as much as he wants to.
  • Not in This for Your Revolution: 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 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.
  • Out of Continues: Hymeno and Jeramie resurrect him, which renders him mortal and allows them to kill him once and for all.
  • Poisonous Person: Specializes in poison attacks and is oft-associated with pestilence and death.
  • Red Baron: He's known as "the Tranquil".
  • Revision: Was outed as the culprit behind the Fury Of The Gods. More specifically, Grodie carried it out. Dagded came up with it in retaliation for Corsus' rebellion.
  • Robe and Wizard Hat: He wears a black hooded robe and wide-brimmed hat, as befitting a necromancer.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: He was sealed away by Karras using her Ice Seal technique but Kamejim and Minongan free him, killing Karras in the process.
  • Sinister Scythe: Wields a large one in combat, adding to his Grim Reaper imagery. It can also be flipped around and used as a rifle.
  • Skewed Priorities: Played for Laughs in #44. The other Jesters are sucking up to Dagded after his revival, whereas Grodie is so fascinated that Dagded was able to die that he has to be stopped from seeking his would-be killers out.
  • The Stoic: Downplayed. Much like fellow Jester Goma, Grodie is often a taciturn man of few words. Unlike Goma however, he has more focus and the occasional bit of Black Comedy; vaguely tip-toeing into Cold Ham.
  • Took a Level in Badass: He was already a dangerous opponent as an undead. But receiving true life greatly increased his power to nightmarish proportions.
  • Tyke Bomb: Like Gira, Grodie was an artificial world-wiping superweapon created by Dagded. Unlike Gira, he embraces it once he learns this.
  • Villainous Breakdown: 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.
  • Walking Spoiler: It's difficult to say anything about him without mentioning his involvement in the Fury of the Gods.
  • Who Wants to Live Forever?: He's functionally immortal but 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. 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.
