</p><p>Engine Sentai Go-Onger is the 32nd entry of Super Sentai franchise and the Japanese basis for its American counterpart, Power Rangers RPM. The story is about a group of Sentai Team known as Engine Sentai Go-Onger, allied with a race of machine known as Engines from the Machine World, one of the eleven worlds known as Braneworlds in the series (including Earth which is known as Human World in-series). Their aim is to fight against the invasion of the evil Banki Clan Gairak , a villainous group of robots from the Machine World aimed on polluting and dominating the Human World.</p><p>
</p><p>About this villain...</p><p>
</p><p>Yogoshimacritein, the Prime Minister of Gairak and the main antagonist of Engine Sentai Go-Onger, shows up only in the final arc but carves a dark mark on this overall comedic series. Go-Onger is a rather comical and kid-friendly segment in Super Sentai franchise, but some serious villain like Yogoshimacritein definitely changed everything when he showed up.</p><p>
</p><p>Standards? Stands out. Out of every Sentai Villains, nearly all of the villains in Engine Sentai Go-Onger are comical and kid-appealing villains like those from the children's show, but Yogoshimacritein is the only one with no such comical qualities and is 100% serious.</p><p>
</p><p>Moral Event Horizon? He crossed it, THREE times.</p><p>
</p><p>First, genocide and world domination - not just the Human World, but other Braneworlds. He is the mastermind behind the destruction of three Braneworlds - the Sound World, the Prism World and the Magic World - during the final arc. He was also behind the near-extinction of Gian Clan of Engines. All he wanted was to oppress all the eleven Braneworlds under his iron fists.</p><p>
</p><p>Second, inducing Despair Event Horizon. By starting a technique known as the Justice Dissolution, Yogoshimacritein banished four of the seven Go-Ongers (including Go-On Wings) into another dimension, leaving the three founding members of their team in disarray and despair, before landing his attack upon them and Human World without qualm.</p><p>
</p><p>Third, using his companions as tools. Nearly every other mebers from Banki Clan Gairak, including the three Pollution Ministers are friendly towards their minions and companions, like how Yogostein treated his right-hand, Hiramechimedes, as his brother.</p><p>
</p><p>However, Yogoshimacritein is the only Gairak leader who mistreats his minions, not just badly. In the final battle, he uses his remaining Pollution Ministers as suicidal puppets against the remaining Go-Onger about thrice, driving them against him and died in helping Go-Onger to destroy the energy support of Justice Dissolution.</p><p>
</p><p>If these aren't bad enough, Yogoshimacritein even heartlessly dismisses the death of his own son, Yogostein, as failure, showing no intention to avenge or even mourn him whatsoever. In constrast, Yogostein mourned Hiramechimedes for several days before pulling himself together.</p><p>
</p><p>Mitigating Qualities? None. He uses and abuses Kegalesia and Kitaneidas again and again with no compassion or remorse, even calling Yogostein as stupid right in front of them. Whenever his plans go, city-wide destructions shall follow. The early Barbaric Machines only caused some segment damage, but the Crime Minister definitely turned everything to the worst, and he believes he is doing what he should do.</p><p>
</p><p>Result? Yes. Even with the examples of Long, Brajirah, Agent Abrella, Radiguet, Ginis and Basco, Yogostein still stands out as one of the most heinous villains in the Super Sentai franchise.</p><p>
