Demonic General of Betrayal Galza

**Demonic General of Betrayal Galza** appeared in 2020 TV series called *Mashin Sentai Kiramager*. Demonic General of Betrayal Galza (裏切りの鬼将軍ガルザ *Uragiri no Oni-Shōgun Garuza*) is one of the generals of the Dark Empire Yodonheim. He is also Princess Mabushina's uncle and the younger brother of King Oradin.

Garza is the younger brother of King Oradin, the brother-in-law of Queen Mabayuine, the biological uncle of Princess Mabushina, and the adoptive uncle of Takamichi Crystalia. Despite being the second-born, his Kiramental was stronger than Oradin's, which led him to believe he was the worthier candidate for the throne.

When Oradin became king, Galza's resulting jealousy and resentment towards his brother drove him to betray Crystalia. Alongside Carantula, Galza led the invasion of the planet, during which he killed Oradin and had his lifeless body carried away by Bechats. Later, he joined the Dark Empire Yodonheim as he puts on his new helmet and armor and decides to steal the hopes and light from the people of Earth.

Galza and Carantula sent down some Bechats to invade Tokyo but they were easily wiped out by the new Sentai, the Mashin Sentai Kiramagers. Whilst Carantula was happy for a credible threat after assuming it would be a pushover, Galza was just shocked that humans could utilize these powers.

After a short period of depression, Galza accompanied the Hyakunin Isshu Jamen when he attacked four of the Kiramagers at a girl named Makino's dojo just as they finished learning all about the Hyakunin Isshu with Galza to do the karuta card reading. With the Kiramagers reeling from this revelation, Galza was able to successfully read off 10 (AKA "friends and strangers" which allowed the Jamenshi to trap Tametomo in a karuta card. Sena and Juru quickly arrived after a drive around in Mashin Mach to clear her head just as Makino and the Hyakunin Isshu Jamen knelt facing one another whilst Galza began to read off poem 33 (AKA "spring has come") but Makino identified the card and nullified the Jamen's powers. Unfortunately, Galza used his dark magic to corrupt a karuta card to reflect and insult Sena which trapped Sayo and Shiguru as well, transforming all other karuta cards into make-believe ones in the process. The Hyakunin Isshu Jamen then revealed that his game ("Yodon 100 Verses") was named as such because it was thier own special brand of karuta so they could pretty much make up whatever they wanted. Sena just had time to get advice from Makino before she too was trapped by the Jamenshi for failing to get the last card at which time she challenged the Jamen to a play-off.

Sometime later, she arrived in a dojo and knelt with the Hyakunin Isshu Jamen as Galza began reading off a card about destruction being the Yodon way which Sena got right before the Jamenshi to his utter shock. She won another eight games this way to the Jamen's despair as he complained that her knowledge should be impossible but she then revealed that she was just going off which ones he leaned towards. She then won the last two games before he could even move and he was horrified at his own defeat as he was forced to release the captives. With the plan a dismal failure, Galza left right before the Jamen was destroyed.

After becoming a subordinate to Emperor Yodon when he appeared, his personal vendetta against Juru and the rest of the Kiramagers led him to betray his leader for ultimate power. After realizing Yodon had multiple personalities, he began to scheme and finally saw a chance when he realized that Carantula was only 4/5 of who he used to be. He offered himself to replace Shadon after the Kiramagers killed him and even promise to speed up the pollution of Earth for the emperor. Yodon accepted his proposal and absorbed the general into his consciousness. When he fought the Kiramagers again, his new powers made him even stronger against their Go Kiramager forms. He allowed Emperor Yodon to regain control of his body and emerge giant in the city. However, Galza had pre-arranged with Carantula to find a way to dispose of their emperor so that they could rule. Keeping up his side of the bargain, Carantula betrayed his emperor by throwing a bomb, causing massive damage to the Emperor and paralyzing him. With his Majesty helpless, Galza revealed his treachery before knocking out Yodonna and slaying Yodon to assume control of his body. He then changed it into a giant form of his normal body and revealed Yodon's death to both the Kiramagers and Carantula before taking on a more powerful golden form dubbed Lord Galza.

Galza immediately began to destroy the city when the Mashin arrived and formed Kiramaizin. They immediately performed the Kiramai Dynamic but it was easily deflected harmlessly by Lord Garza. Mashin Express and Mashin Zabyun were summoned, but Galza slashed them out of the sky. Using his new gravity power, Galza then manipulated gravity on Kiramaizin to slam it up and down into the ground several times before slashing it apart and ejecting the Kiramagers. With no other choice, Juru used the Kiraful Go Arrow to summon Mashin Oradin and Mashin Hakobu to form Grateful Phoenix. However, he matched its Golden Axe blow for blow and slashed it back so he can use his ultimate technique - "Tornado Screw Crash". Galza easily defeated it and separated it to wipe out the Giant Robo. Juru mentioned that he had copied the move from a kid who he thought was Oradin but was in fact a younger Galza and thus he knew how to defeat his own attack. Mashin Oradin continued to fight, severely weakened, but Galza captured him and took him to Yodonheim where he announced that Oradin would be executed before taking his leave.

Originally, Galza was not unlike Juru or Mabushina when they were young, as he always enjoyed being creative and was constantly inspired. That all changed in adulthood, as compared to the benevolent presence held by his brother, Galza's take is more malevolent and self-serving, though his knowledge of Crystalia often helped proceed Yodonheim's plans against the Kiramagers. He is also slightly posh, drawing amusement from Carantula's antics, and serves as a calmer influence compared to his wildness. He is also shown to be quite manipulative, fierce, aggressive, and cruel, as he played on Mabushina's feelings for her father and exploited Takamichi’s ego, plus manipulated him out of his will to help her.

Possibly due to his anger and jealousy of Oradin, Galza possesses a childish sense of arrogance, claiming himself superior to the Crystalian ruler in every way. As Juru is essentially Oradin in a human body, Galza heavily despises him. After the first formation of King Express, Galza's hatred for Juru only deepened. He also possesses a hatred of all those he sees as weaklings, claiming them to be his enemies. Because of this, he will violently and brutally kill anyone he considers weak, including Jamenshi.

Due to his greed and desire for the Crystalian throne, Galza is highly treacherous and power hungry, willing to betray even Emperor Yodon if necessary.
