Wing Shogun Cyclead is a member of the Three Shoguns and a major antagonist in Chousei Kantai Sazer-X. He is the soft-spoken wind-themed Shogun who serves as one of the three commanders of Descal's Earth invasion as well as their inventor and technical expert.
He later joins the Neo Descal after they arrive from the future.
He is voiced by Daisuke Kishio, who also voiced Jeice in Dragon Ball Kai.
History[]
Cyclead arrived at Earth along with the rest of Space Pirate Fleet Descal. He and the other Shoguns were ordered by Captain Barder to collect the Cosmo Capsules so Descal could use them to take over Earth.
In the original timeline, Descal was able to collect the Cosmo-Capsules unapposed and was successful in using them to take over Earth. Cyclead would father a bloodline that included King Neo Descal and Barreda, the leaders of the Neo Descal regime that evolved out of Descal.
To prevent Neo Descal's rise, Sazer-X would travel back in time through a wormhole to stop Descal from collecting the Cosmo Capsules, resulting in Cyclead and the other Shoguns being met by opposition from them when they arrived on Earth in 2005.
In order to empower one of his monsters, Cyclead had lightning strike the ship. However, this had the unintended side effect of short-circuiting Captain Barder. With their leader having malfunctioned, the Three Shoguns pondered what to do and eventually agreed to stay on Earth long enough to defeat Sazer-X and then return to space. They summoned Bankein to help them but he was defeated, prompting them to flee. They then found themselves approached by Grouza, a Neo Descal member who had traveled back in time to help them defeat Sazer-X and ensure the timeline stayed the same. When Sazer-X destroyed Balgareon, Grouza saved all three Shoguns by teleporting them and herself to the Galeo Rogue ship commanded by Garade. While Blaird refused to serve the Neo Descal and Aqual became obsessed with pleasing Grouza, Cyclead passively went along with it, not caring much as long as he was kept alive. He would at several points suggest to Aqual that they return to space, but she always ignored him. Although Blaird had betrayed Neo Descal, Cyclead still cared about him and even asked Remy how he was doing after meeting her in a confrontation. When Remy told him that Blaird was fine, Cyclead left the scene.
Later, King Neo Descal and Barreda came from the future to take command of the invasion personally and brought Aqual and Cyclead aboard their flagship Neo Deark, where they feigned reverence to the two Shoguns in order to manipulate them into doing as they wanted. King Neo Descal and Barreda soon planted Cyclead with a device that made him more evil and kept him compliant to them, as he was only Shogun they needed to keep alive to ensure they stayed in existence. The two then had Cyclead "lead" several operations to destroy Sazer-X, in order to keep them occupied while they worked on their true plan to use the Dark Alumer to take over Earth.
While they were having Cyclead make preparations for the plan on Earth however, he was captured by Sazer-X and brought to the Ando residence to be held in captivity. There, Cyclead continuously ranted about how Neo Descal would cover the Earth in darkness until Blaird found the mind control device beneath his hat and removed it, restoring him to normal. With all three Shoguns now back together, Blaird and Aqual brought Cyclead with them when they traveled in Drill Angler to assist Sazer-X in the final battle.
