## History

### First Appearance

He appears sitting on a park bench, disgusted by the life he sees. He sees an Element Spirit and turns it into a MegaBjögen. Later, he taunts Rabirin and proceeds to watch everything happen from afar. When he sees Cure Grace, he is stunned, wondering how Pretty Cure are still around, because humans don't live very long. After his MegaBjögen was defeated, he retreats back to the hideout to report what happened.

He has a face-to-face confrontation with Grace after he infects the Fruit Element Spirit. He disagrees with Grace after she asks him why he wants to pollute the Earth and infects Rabirin with his bad energy. When they are about to fight, Grace suddenly runs off to save Sparkle, much to Daruizen's confusion as he knows she is still mad at him.

His MegaBjögen is the last one standing after both Shindoine and Guaiwaru's MegaBjögen were purified by the Cures. As his MegaBjögen is proven to be extremely powerful, he indirectly has a nutria turned into a new general thanks to his MegaBjögen's parasitic seed. He spitefully retreats after the Cures perform Healing Oasis.

He is complimented and served by Batetemoda, but he reacts rather indifferently, which irritates Batetemoda. He later attacks the Cures and tries to take advantage of Nodoka and Rabirin being unable to transform, but fails after they reconcile.

He remains indifferent after knowing Batetemoda is defeated. He infects a flower field and is happy that Guaiwaru is dumb enough to indirectly power up his MegaBjögen. He also meets Cure Earth for the first time. He is able to seize some fragments of his MegaBjögen after the fight.

### Creating Nebsock

He experiments with his Mega Part after sneaking into the countryside of Oorara City at night to use it on a fledgling bird. He watches the battle, and is disappointed when Nebsock is purified by Earth.

### Infecting Cure Grace and Creating Kedary

He asks Shindoine if she remembers her host, but she doesn't. Later, he takes drastic measures by forcefully inserting a Mega Part into Cure Grace. He then sadistically watches as she collapses in pain. After Kedary's defeat, he remembers he was born from a MegaBjögen that infected Nodoka years before the start of the series. Before fleeing from the Pretty Cures, Daruizen tells Grace that he is "beginning to like her" in some way.

### New Form

He upgrades himself despite hesitating at first, giving in to pressure from King Bjögen and his own desire to become more powerful. After turning Hachisuka into a GigaBjögen, he at first has the upper hand against Grace, but her strong desire to protect the doctor ultimately overpowers him.

He suddenly shows up in front of the four Healing Animals when they are spending time with each other, and harasses Rabirin, Pegitan and Nyatoran. When a farmer's uncle intervenes, he becomes annoyed at the latter, who he turns into a GigaBjögen. During the battle, he tells the Healing Animals to give up, but they do not give in, and with the Cures they manage to defeat him once again.

### Preventing the Cures' Escape

He attempts to separate Grace from the others as they escape the Bjögen Kingdom by weakening the portal, but the other three combined their powers to reopen it so Grace can go through it before he can attack.

### Escaping from King Bjögen

He is shocked to see Guaiwaru being absorbed by King Bjögen, as well as his resurrection. Back at his lair, King Bjögen attempts to convince Daruizen to get absorbed by him as well, but Daruizen runs away in fear. Weakened, he then appears in front of Nodoka while she was jogging, and she transforms into Grace to fight him. Before anything could happen, Daruizen asks if he could re-enter her body so he can recover his strength. Remembering everything he put her through, Grace backs off and runs away, leaving Daruizen on the ground.

### Final Showdown and Getting Absorbed

He is left with no choice but to absorb a lot of Mega Parts, turning him into a large demonic creature. The Cures are alerted of his appearance and transform to fight him. Throughout the battle, he targets Grace the most and tries to convince her to help him. However, Grace is not swayed by his words, remembering all the pain he put her through and the damage he wanted to do to the Earth, and is able to weaken him before she and the others turn him back to his normal form with Final! Healing Good Shower. However, King Bjögen arrives soon after and absorbs Daruizen, changing his form again.

## Appearance

He is a young devilish boy who has pale blue skin with dark green hair, a pair of red horns, and a scorpion-like tail. His attire is gothic with a dark red coat black buckle belt, and black boots with grey accents.

After absorbing a Mega Part into his body, his coat becomes darker red, lengthens, and gains blue layers and dark green appendages. On his right chest there is a blue rose lapelled with yellow strings. His belt now has a red gem. His horns become longer and curved, and he now has dark crimson makeup and near his right eye there are taffy pink irregular shaped markings.

After absorbing even more Mega Parts, he becomes a gigantic demonic creature with blue markings on his skin. His hair becomes longer and gains a blue ombre while his horns turn blue. He has glowing yellow eyes with red and purple markings underneath. He has two pairs of black and blue wings and his tail is split into two blue tips.

## Personality

He comes off as rather calm yet emotionless. He also looks down upon the Healing Animals, getting rather cocky, thinking that there's no point trying to save the Earth anymore. Unlike his fellow generals, he is more laid-back when it comes to attacking Earth, but is more strategic, smarter and sadistic than them. He becomes more aggressive after getting upgraded. In the end, it is his own selfishness that brings about his own downfall.

## Abilities

He can create a MegaBjögens by using a tiny spherical bat-like demon from his hair to possess an Elemental Spirit. He can use his powers to throw projectiles. He is strong enough to open craters in the ground with a mere punch, without harming himself in any way. After upgrading himself with the Mega Part in episode 33, he can summon GigaBjögen by infecting humans.

## Etymology

"Darui" (だるい?) means "sluggish"/"languid" in Japanese means "feeling sickly".

## Trivia

* He is thirteenth villain who permanently change their appearance, after Dune, Bassdrum, Baritone, Falsetto, Mephisto, Regina, Close, Lock, Yamoh, Jeros, Shindoine and Guaiwaru.
* When he is absorbed and destroyed in episode 42, many fans were angry at Nodoka for not redeeming him. However, Yoko Ikeda revealed in the *Healing Good Pretty Cure Official Complete Book* that Nodoka is entitled to look after herself after what Daruizen did to her, and not all villains like Daruizen can be redeemed regardless of their good looks.
