Emperor Yodon

**Emperor Yodon** appeared in 2020 TV series called *Mashin Sentai Kiramager*. Emperor Yodon (ヨドン皇帝 *Yodon Kōtei*) was the mysterious ruler of the Dark Empire Yodonheim and the main antagonist of Mashin Sentai Kiramager. He desired to wipe out humanity and turn the Earth into a barren wasteland capable of supporting him. However, upon learning of the true power of the Kanaema Stones, his goal changed to obtaining them so that Yodonheim could take over the entire universe at once.

Yodon was a snake born from stagnation. When he was hit by some purple lightning, he thought he had received prophecy, so he forged for himself an indestructible mask. Donning said mask, Yodon was able to defeat and devour countless enemies, becoming gigantic and powerful in the process. As his size grows, his brain also creates two accompanying personalities: Shadon and Yodonna.

After the destruction of Faucet Hildon, Carantula apologized to Emperor Yodon for the failure of the plan, but informed him that another one was currently underway.

When Yodonna was beaten by KiramaiBlue and KiramaiYellow, Emperor Yodon telepathically ordered Galza to go retrieve her in Smog Jouki. Juru Atsuta heard his voice as well and later drew a sketch of the figure he had seen.

After the Kiramagers' battle and Oradin's declaration that Earth wouldn't fall into the hands of Yodonheim, Emperor Yodon starts making a move. He orders Yodonna to seek Oradin. After she successfully lures him out, the Emperor manifests himself from her body and declares that he will personally subjugate Earth. He then showed his terrific might by swinging his tendril, destroying a large part of the city, much to the Kiramangers' horror. Saying that Earth has not been defiled enough for him to occupy it yet, Emperor Yodon warned that his advent is near before reverting back into Yodonna.

At the dark realm, Yodonna takes orders from him that all Kiramagers must be destroyed at once before later transforming into Yodon, who orders Galza to bring Shadon to Earth before assuming his form with the red Jamen.

After Shadon was destroyed by the Kiramagers, Yodon reverted back to his main form. With the red Jamen destroyed, he declared revenge on them before leaving to his realm.

Once Carantula finished stating his desire to create, Yodon manifested from Yodonna, and stated Carantula has outlived his usefulness before stunning him with dark energy and sending him plummeting into the water.

Deciding to take the fight to the Kiranagers personally, Yodon decided to absorb Galza and become all powerful. He let Galza temporarily take control of him to lay a beat-down on the Go Kiramagers but took back control and re-emerged in the city to finally make the world a rotting wasteland. However, Carantula betrayed his emperor by chucking a massive bomb at Yodon before he could destroy the city, causing massive damage to the emperor and paralyzing him. Galza revealed that he had always intended to usurp and betray Yodon, knocking Yodonna unconscious before using his sword to strike down Emperor Yodon with a gigantic energy slash. He stepped aside as Yodon stumbled forward before melting into brown sludge and exploding, killing him for now. With Yodon apparently gone, Galza absorbed his powers to obtain his ultimate golden form named Lord Galza and assumed control of the Yodonheim Empire.

As Lord Galza began to repent for his sins, Galza was forced back into his own mind as Emperor Yodon revived himself to Galza's horror and ejected him from his consciousness, revealing that he corrupted Galza to further his invasion but his newly restored memories and redemption meant that he was no longer useful and in fact a liability. He then revealed that he had used his evil powers to make Galza jealous and detest his brother's power which eventually led to the invasion and destruction of Crystalia and eventually the events of the whole series. Shattered that he had been living under essentially a giant lie, Galza ripped off his helmet in anger and depression but got encouraged by Juru to start anew. Seeking to atone for his past, he prepared a final strike on Emperor Yodon. However, it was in vain since Yodon deflected it and sent him to the ground before mortally wounding him with a massive beam of lightning. As Juru watched on mortified, Galza said nothing as he fell to his knees before collapsing on his face where he died in a horrific explosion right in front of Juru. The Emperor then blasted Juru right off a cliff with his lightning vision. The others were too late to save their friend and forced to flee back to Earth where Emperor Yodon couldn't follow, but he was not concerned since the Earth belonged to him either way.

Emperor Yodon was a brutal and slightly sadistic villain intent on dominating the Earth to make it his home and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. However, Yodon expected complete obedience from those he has absorbed into himself which ultimately became his apparent undoing since this allowed Galza to gain his trust and get inside his consciousness to slay him. As revealed much later however, he is far more cunning and was merely using Galza as a means to an end to further his invasion plans without having to get his hands dirty. He values only himself and has no sense of loyalty towards those who serve him, even if they were one of his personalities, as he mercilessly struck down Yodonna in order to free himself, telling her that she should be happy to die for his sake.

### Arsenal

* **Tentacle Arm**: Emperor Yodon has a spiked tail-like tentacle on his left arm for combat.
	+ **Energy Tendrils**: Yodon can transform his tentacle into multiple purple energy tendrils that were strong enough to cause massive explosions around the entire city. This was enough to overpower Kiramaizin, GigantDriller and Grateful Phoenix.
	+ **Energy Slash**: Emperor Yodon can release dark purple energy slashes from his tentacle arm strong enough to send Galza flying out of his mind and severely injure and kill Yodonna.
* **Masks**: On each side of his head is a mask. By covering his face with one of the masks, he can assume a form based on one of his absorbed subordinates. Yodon also has a primary mask which is worn in his true form. This is his one weak spot, but as it is made of the strongest substance in the universe, it makes him nigh-invulnerable to attacks.
	+ **Yodonna Mask**: The mask on the left side of his head allows Yodonna's consciousness to take control and shapeshift into her body. He willingly lost this mask after killing Yodonna.
	+ **Shadon Mask**: The mask on the right side of his head allowed Shadon's consciousness to take control and shapeshift into his body. He lost this mask when Shadon died which made it explode.
	+ **Galza Mask**: After incorporating Galza into his consciousness as a replacement for Shadon, the mask on the right side of Yodon's head allowed Galza's mind and form to take control. He discarded this mask when he casted Galza out of his mind.

### Weaknesses

* **Purity**: Emperor Yodon apparently couldn't last too long on planets that are undefiled. To compensate, he appeared in the form of Yodonna or Shadon.
	+ **Transformed State**: Another major weakness is that when he is transformed into Yodonna or Shadon, he is significantly weaker and more vulnerable to his enemies' attacks.
* **Mask Destruction**: If any general that serves as an aspect of his personality has been destroyed, the mask representing them will be destroyed as well, leaving Yodon unable to use it anymore.
* **Real Face**: As detected by Zabyun's Lorenzini Search, Yodon's real face is his mortal weak spot, lying under an unbreakable mask.
* **Regeneration Limit:** Emperor Yodon's regeneration ability comes from wearing his primary mask so if he loses it, he won't be able to regenerate again.
