Following Ohsama Sentai's venture at the land of death where Reiniol Husty reveals that Rcules is still alive, Rcules' whereabout is unknown for two years. Until Ohsama Sentai's displaced venture at a prime Super Sentai Earth where they discovered Kyoryuger's connections with the team and had been fighting Uchu besides Deboth Army, Rcules reclaims his throne and becoming Uchu's puppet king of Shugoddam. After setting up the death of Goma Rosalia to become a jester and all four kingdoms has been restored, Rcules announce a third duel against Gira, where Kaguragi seemingly betray Gira as Suzume. After Dagded give him an immortal killer ability on Ohgercalibur Zero to kill Gira, instead, Rcules is revealed to have been waiting for a moment to obtain the said power to kill Dagded instead of Gira, telling his younger brother to stand up, so the brothers and the team can save the universe from Uchu's machinations. It is revealed ever being let hostage by Rcules and later his return two years later, Suzume found out his true intention meant to dispose Uchu and end their conspiracies at Tikyu, thus letting Kaguragi knows two years later during the third duel.
With all jesters barring Kamejim has been disposed, while Minongan was sealed, Rcules was entrusted by Ohsama Sentai to both lead the evacuation of the citizens from Chikyu and entrust the five King's Proofs' fragments and Venomix Shooter without the retainers' notice. When the people of Chikyu finds out their leaders trying to die fighting against Dagded for their own sake without the King's Proofs, and becomes tired of watching them die from the sidelines and be enslaved by Uchu again, Rcules admittedly feels the same way and decide to return to aid Ohsama Sentai. However, he and his fellow people of Chikyu are ambushed by Kamejim, when Goroge survive the jester's assassination attempt and expose his disguise in time. While the citizens are still not match for the jester ranked enemies like Kamejim, Rcules was thought to be the only defense left, until Desnarak is resurrected in time to provide his aid for his true allies. As Jeramie rescues his allies from being assassinated by Kamejim, he had the jester to be at dealt by both vengeful Rcules and Desnarak, with the latter drags his former prime minister to Hakabaka with him, where Kamejim himself be tortured alongside Glodi by their previous victims.
After Dagded's permanent defeats, at cost of King-Ohger's sacrifice to permanently negate his immortality, though the Shugod Souls remains intact where Yanma (now change his mind about Shugod Souls being sentients) promises Gira to build new bodies for them, Rcules finally retires in peace, where his actual relations with Suzume begins during his reduced sentence of his rehabilitation at Gokkan.

Rcules Husty is actually a kind and benevolent if firm and overly ambitious king who love his family, including his aide, such as caring as he cared about his aide de camp Boshimar enough that learning of his death made him snap.
However, due to discovering conspiracy caused by Uchu, Rcules start to use a "tyrant" façade with an aim to do anything to advance his own power even if it means betraying his own people to evil, like a fascist who believes that true strength and might can only come through violence and conquest. Knowing this, he is willingly to be executed to atone his previous act when he pretended to be a tyrant until Gira's grown up and willpower to defy the conspiracies changes his plans.
