Biography[]
Past[]
As with all members of the Machine Empire Baranoia, Acha and Kocha were built by Emperor Bacchus Wrath and Empress Hysteria some 65 million years ago. They became the extremely loyal butlers of the Machine Empire royal family, and aided in thier many conquests across the universe.
Ohranger[]
Millions of years later, in 1995, Emperor Bacchus Wrath returns to Earth and leads an invasion, but the attacks are defeated by the newly formed Ohrangers. After the Baranoia learn of the Chouriki Mobiles' construction, Acha and Kocha report this to Bacchus Wrath who freaks out, but Hysteria reassures him that she sent Bara Brain to resolve the issue. Later, after Bara Brain recaptures Muira, they accompany Hysteria as well as Buldont to Earth, where the former tries to execute him, only to be stopped by the arriving salvo, from the completed Chouriki Mobiles. Outnumbered and overpowered, the four leaders retreat, and leave Bara Brain to fight the Ohrangers, with Bara Separate. In retaliation for Bara Brain's death, Bacchus Wrath leads a massive invasion of Takonpas, but they are destroyed by Ohranger Robo, and Bacchus Wrath has to flee with Acha and Kocha, when the Super Crrown Sword is thrown into thier Baracticas. Realising that conquering Earth is impossible whilst they have Ohranger Robo, and taking inspiration from Bara Separate, Bacchus Wrath has the Barlo Soldiers upgrade Acha and Kocha with a growth program for his monsters and chooses Bara Missiler as thier test subject.
Shortly after the death of Bara Missiler, Prince Buldont decides to kill the Ohrangers overly theatrically. As such, he sets up a movie called the Machine Empire Century with Acha and Kocha and a legion of Barlo Soldiers before recruiting four Machine Beasts to act as the muscle in his plan. Using Klank in a Cessna to distribute advertising leaflets, and Camera Trick to forcibly teleport the readers, Buldont gains a cast of “actors” with the allure of $10 million Yen ($73,000 USD). Acha meets and introduces himself as a producer; tricking them into thinking it is legitimate and acts as their manager and chauffeur. When the Ohrangers arrive to save the victims, Buldont begins his movie properly by having Acha and Cat Signal shuffle the children onto a bus which he then scripts to crash and kill everyone on board. whilst the Ohrangers are harassed by the other Machine Beasts. Despite this, Faucetchuck quickly runs out of power whilst fighting Yuri and Goro so Buldont is forced to withdraw the Machine Beast to have Acha upgrade his power supply which leads to his producer having a breakdown outside.
After a fierce battle with the Ohrangers, Bacchus Wrath is easily destroyed by OhBlocker's Twin Blocken Crash so the Machine Empire prepare to rebuild him. However, before work can begin, Bomber the Great returns and takes control of the Machine Empire. After returning to the Baranoia Palace from his banishment, Buldont challenges him to a duel but is easily killed and sent away in a rocket with Hysteria. Bomber then declares himself the the 1st, New Emperor of Baranoia with Acha and Kocha switching allegiances to him to save themselves. However, shortly after the death of Bara Gold, Buldont (repaired and upgraded by the dying remains of Bacchus Wrath into Kaiser Buldont) returns with his cousin Multiwa overthrow Bomber so Acha and Kocha switch allegiances back to them.
Buldont then marries Multiwa and they initiate a complete invasion of Earth; bombarding the UAOH Hangar with Takonpas to prevent Ohranger Robo and Tackle Boy from being deployed, capturing OhBlocker and Red Puncher and using Bara Micron's Dark Particles to render the Ohrangers powerless. However, Dorin sacrifices her life to generate a massive amount of power that destroys Bara Micron and completely decimates the Machine Empire Baranoia. With thier army completely annihilated and thier offensive capabilities effectively eliminated, Buldont and Multiwa unleash a final desperate attack on Earth; launching an assault with the last few Barlo Soldiers and growing giant to fight the Giant Robos even before Acha and Kocha can enlarge them. However, they are killed by King Pyramidder Battle Formation's Super Legend Beam before the Ohrangers storm the skyscraper that the Baranoia are using as a base of operations where they find Hysteria, Acha and Kocha and Buldont and Multiwa's baby Buldont Jr. Although they decide that Hysteria is too dangerous to be kept alive, she reveals the baby and they can't bring themselves to kill the child who she gives to them before committing suicide.
With Hysteria's death, the Machine Empire Baranoia is no more so Acha and Kocha decide to switch sides to good. They accompany Gunmazin when he takes Buldont Jr to his home planet to raise the baby to be better than the rest of his family. What happened to them after this is unknown. Acha is also remembered by Shouhei from the scheme with Bara Printer after the Ohrangers disband.
Personality[]
Acha was the most loyal servant to his masters but was extremely prideful and demonstrated that he had a backbone. On occasion, he got into arguments with Prince Buldont but would work with him if he he had to without argument. He was very loyal to Bacchus Wrath and played a major role in helping him battle the Ohrangers. However, Acha was also a coward since he would serve anyone who claimed the throne since he abandoned Empress Hysteria to imprisonment and loyally served Bomber the Great to save himself. Since the end of the Machine Empire, Acha has changed and is instead dedicated to helping Gunmazin protect Buldont Jr.
In contrast, Kocha was more amiable and far less aggressive than his humanoid counterpart though he always sided with his friend in arguments. However, he didn't typically speak for himself and instead usually parroted whatever Acha said. Like Acha, he switched sides and has since become a much kinder robot.
