Don Armage

Don Armage is the ruler of the Space Shogunate Jark Matter and the primary antagonist of Uchu Sentai Kyuranger. He is an enigmatic being who seeks to destroy the universe and recreate it more to his liking.

History
300 years ago, Don Armage attempted to conquer the universe, but was opposed by 88 warriors from each of the 88 star systems. He succeeded in killing 85 of the warriors, leaving only Tsurugi, Orion, and Quervo. During their battle, Quervo was fatally injured after taking an attack from Armage meant for Tsurugi.

Despite this, Tsurugi managed to overpower and defeated him, sacrificing his immortality in the process. However, Don Armage secretly managed to survive and approached the dying Quervo. Armage offered Quervo his power, which would make him as strong as Tsurugi. Quervo accepted Don Armage's offer and the Shogun merged his essence with the Karasu warrior, turning his body into a blend of his and Don Armage's called Don Quervo.

Don Armage then created a clone of his previous form and sent it to attack Tsurugi, while he restarted his conquest of the universe. He also ordered his subordinates to erase the Earth’s history of the Houou Soldier and placed him on the top of his Black List.

Conquest of the Universe
Don Armage and the Jark Matter eventually conquered the 88 Constellation systems. He established the new capital of Jark Matter on the planet Southern Cross in the Minami Juuji System. The ruler of Southern Cross, the Southern King, allowed the Jark Matter to take over his planet due to his belief that the weak were destined to serve the strong whom dominated the universe. In exchange for his submission, Don Armage granted the Southern King the position of Karo of the Minami Juuji System.

He also at some point tasked the assassin duo of Ikargen and Mardakko destroyed over a thousand planets together for him.

Continuing his conquest in the Sasori System, Don Armage convinced Scorpio to join the Jark Matter in exchange for power. After Scorpio swore loyalty to Armage, the Shogun held up his end of the deal by transforming Scorpio into a scorpion monster.

Don Armage initially enlisted Scorpio as an assassin, but soon became pleased enough by his service that he promoted him to Karo of the now Jark Matter-controlled Sasori System. Secretly though, Scorpio aspired to kill Don Armage and usurp him as Shogun of Jark Matter so he could rule the universe himself.

Conflicts with the Rebellion
He was later contacted by Eriedrone from his Big Moraimarz. Though Eriedrone intended to only inform him of the news of the subjugation of planet Crotus, Don Armage recognized that the Karo had been shamed by the Kyurangers and blasted him back. Armage ordered Eriedrone to eliminate the insurgents before immediately terminating the communication.

Discovering that the Kyurangers had arrived on Earth, Don Armage ordered Eriedrone and Stinger to eliminate them to prevent them from discovering the planet's secret.

Don Armage later tasked the assassin duo of Ikargen and Mardakko on Earth with killing the Kyurangers. He later informed them of Scorpio's arrival on Earth and instructed them to welcome him.

In order to speed up the process of draining Earth's Planetium, Don Armage ordered a fleet of Moraimarz sent to the planet to hasten the process. He also instructed Scorpio to kill the Kyurangers to prevent their interference. After Scorpio was defeated by the Kyurnagers and defected from the Jark matter, Armage ordered Madakko to activate all of the Moraimars before throwing a dark energy projection at the Kyurangers to destroy them. However, the projection was deflected by Scorpio.

He later met with his three Vice-Shoguns: Tecchu, Akyanba, and Kukuruga and ordered them to destroy Tsurugi Ohtori.

Confrontations with the Kyurangers
Half of the Kyurangers later traveled to the past to see what happened after Don Armage's battle with Tsurugi. While observing that Tsurugi really did kill Don Armage, the Shogun later revealed himself to have survived and attacked the Orion spaceship as it was heading to Earth, causing it to crash. As the Kyurangers left the downship, Don Armage attacked them.

He later reappeared when the Kyurangers and Orion were fighting the Vice Shoguns. Upon his appearance, the Kyurangers attacked and seemingly killed him, but Armage managed to survive and shot Lucky from afar. Emerging out of the smoke, Armage revealed his true form to the Kyurangers. Though Don Armage appeared to have been finally destroyed by Shishi Red Orion, when the Kyurangers traveled back to the present, they discovered that Don Armage had survived and remained in control of the universe.

It was later revealed that Don Armage had been possessing the universe’s well-known Space King of Pop, Hoshi Minato. Noticing something was up, the Kyurangers went undercover to investigate Minato's odd behavior. Hammy, Naga and Lucky disguised themselves as an idol group called “Triple Q”, with Spada and Tsurugi assuming the guise of the group's managers. The Kyurangers eventually unearthed the truth and Don Armage and Akyanba’s influence was revealed. Emerging from Minato’s body, Armage enlarged himself to fight the Kyurangers. After being defeated by both the Gigant Houou and Orion Battler, Armage stated that while the Kyurangers could defeat him, they still can't take his life, revealing that he has multiple.

Noticing that Tsurugi Ohtori was gathering the Kyutamas needed to break the barrier protecting Southern Cross, Don Armage ordered Dr. Anton to protect the constellation systems. Anton informed the Shogun that the relevant Karos had their orders and that Mecha Madakko was present with him on planet Ghem in the Perseus System.

After learning that the barrier had been broken by the Kyurangers, Don Armage sent Aslan to eliminate Shishi Red. After the Southern King was destroyed by Lucky, Don Armage's image appeared before Lucky and Aslan. Armage revealed to Lucky that his father to act as a puppet, before recreating his mask to bring Aslan back under his control.

True Identity Revealed
Don Armage later revealed to the Kyurangers his true form, the body of Quervo, revealing to the Kyurangers that Armage had been inhabiting Quervo's corpse. Though Don Quervo was later destroyed, Armage's essence survived and made Tsurugi's body its new host.
