The Ashu Tribe are a clan of demonic monsters and one of the four main antagonist factions in GoGo Sentai Boukenger.
There are primarily two different branches of Ashu, the Eastern Tribe led by Furious Demon God Gai, and the Western Tribe led by Ouga. Two members of the Ashu (Gai and Rei) would later be modified into the Questers by Arch Priest Gajah, only to betray him and become their own separate "Negative Syndicate" searching for the Precious.
History[]
The Ashu are descended from a forgotten branch of the human evolutionary line. They would terrorize humans for many years, inspiring several legends about youkai and demons. It was the duty of the Takaoka Clan to hunt the Ashu and through their efforts the majority were sealed in the 100 Demons Mirror, with Gai and Hyouga being two of the only remaining Ashu left active in the present day.
Gai and Hyouga thus sought to obtain the 100 Demons Mirror in order to release the rest of their kind and usher in a new age of the Ashu. They intervened in a fight between the Boukengers and Dark Shadow to steal the mirror, but Eiji Takaoka snatched it first. Eiji attempted to use the mirror to lure Gai and Hyouga into a trap but the two were able to snatch it from him anyway, kidnapping Natsuki in order to use her blood to release the seal on the mirror. After Gai sprinkled Natsuki's blood on the mirror, the Ashu in it began to escape, with the strongest of their kind, Grand Beast Rei, being the first to emerge. Before any more Ashu could come out however the mirror was shattered by Eiji. Hyouga was then defeated by the Boukengers, and Gai and Rei would be slain some time after.
However, Arch Priest Gajah was able to recover Gai and Rei's bodies and placed Gordom Engines inside of them to revive them as the Questers, giving them both full body suits of black armor in the process. Despite Gajah being the one responsible for their return, Gai and Rei very quickly betrayed Gajah and began operating independently, stealing Giant God Gagadom from him to use it to defeat the Boukengers on their own. The Questers were then classified as their own "Negative Syndicate" by the SGS, joining the ranks of the other evil organizations which sought out the Precious for malicious purposes.
Gai and Rei would eventually formulate a plan to defeat the Boukengers and usher in the age of the Ashu they desired. They first unsealed the western Ashu king Ouga so he could deal with Eiji for them and distract the other Boukengers. They then enlisted the three other Negative Syndicates to each steal a different Precious artifact for them. Once their fellow Negatives had brought them all of the artifacts they asked for, the Questers combined them in the Mercurious Vessel Precious they had previously obtained to create the Ultimate Artificial Lifeform Homunculus, which they then piloted Jet Over to combine with in order to transform it into the strongest Quester Robo. In their new Quester Robo, the Questers decimated the Boukengers in all of their Bouken machines before declaring their alliance with the other Negative Syndicates to now be over. The other Negatives were angry at having been used, but none of them found themselves able to root for either the Boukengers or Questers in their fight against each other. The Questers were ultimately defeated when their Homunculus Quester Robo was destroyed by the Boukengers in their repaired Bouken Machines, before they themselves were both killed by the Boukengers. With Ouga having been slain prior by Eiji while in the dream world, this brought an end to the Ashu Tribe.
