| “ | Ah! This is terrible! After the appearance of a mysterious light, the Denshiman are attacked one by one! He is the Devil's Emissary that even the Vader Clan fear... Demon King Banriki. Demon King Banriki and DaiDenzin fight to the death. A truly terrible foe has shown his face! Denshi Sentai Denshiman: "Brute Force, Demon King Banriki." This is really bad! | „ |
| ~ The narrator. |
| “ | Denshiman fighters, Demon King Banriki is a fearsome enemy. His symbol is the snake. He hates all living things in the universe and will fight anyone for any reason. He previously held a strong hatred for those from Planet Denzi. Most likely, he will not stop here. He probably has the same hatred for the beauty of Earth as he did for Planet Denzi. He is the type who, once he has destroyed everyone and everything on Earth, will likely try and succeed in destroying the Vader as well. | „ |

Biography[]
Past[]
Where Demon King Banriki came from is not entirely clear but he claimed to be a denizen from Hell itself. Banriki was a hired mercenary who wandered through space, fighting on several battlefronts before coming to Earth. He was immensely powerful, slaugtering entire armies singlehandidly and even destroying star ships with energy beams. He hated all planets that held some form of beauty; in particular Planet Denzi but he never had the chance to destroy it since the Vader Clan destroyed the planet first. During all this, he built up a reputation as a mighty warrior who caused destruction wherever he went that was well known to both Denzi Dog IC and the Vader Clan. 50 years before his death, Banriki went into a long sleep from boredom until something exciting could happen.
Denziman[]
In 1980, Demon King Banriki awakens and learns of the Vader Clan's fight against the Denshimen and recognises the power of Planet Denzi. As such, he sets out to come to Earth and kill them to finally destroy all remnants of Planet Denzi. Upon coming to Earth, Banriki offers his services to Queen Hedrian but the Queen rejects him, being wary of his reputation. To demonstrate his power to the Vader Clan, Banriki attacks the Denziman, injuring each of them until Ippei is the only one left to fight. After the Denziman use the DenziStick Boomerang to wound him, he grows giant and Denziman attempt to finish him off with the Electronic Full Moon Cut, but Banriki grabs the blade before it can strike him and struggles to hold it in place, before retreating.
Banriki staging his rebellion.
From then on, Banriki spends most of his time lounging around in the Vader Castle,doing little to help the Clan in their conquest and giving snarky remarks to the other members. He later makes a deal with Sakkalar and numerous Dustlers to help him take over Vader Clan, promising to let them party in exchange for helping him in his coup. Banriki and Sakkalar take advantage of Sakkalar's poison gas, which was intended by Queen Hedrian to be used against the Denziman, and use it to ambush the Vader Clan leadership, causing them all to fall asleep while Banriki and his followers don gas masks. Banriki then takes over the Vader Clan and allows the Dustlers to throw a party while he sits back and drank. However, his reign is cut short when Sakkalar is defeated by Karakurilar and Kendamalar and Banriki himself is captured by Queen Hedrian. He is then turned into a human candle by Queen Hedrian for his treachery but, right before being submerged in candle liquid, Banriki proclaims that he has not lost yet.
Unbeknownst to the Vader Clan, Banriki has one final trump card; a special egg he placed inside the Vader Clan's machine for hatching Vader Monsters. The egg soon hatches into the Banriki Monster and frees Banriki, before using its power to overpower the other Vader Clan executives and enable Banriki to become leader once again. Banriki proves to be a very ineffectual ruler, doing little other than drink and send Dustlers out on uncoordinated attacks. The change in the Vader Clan's style of attacking soon leads the Denziman to conclude that Banriki has taken power. His reign soon comes to a permanent end when Queen Hedrian and Mirror discover the Banriki Monster's weak spot, its tail, and inform the Denziman of it, allowing them to destroy it. Enraged, Banriki goes to kill Hedrian, but Mirror blinds her with an attack. Crippled, Banriki is teleported outside the Vader Castle where he is easily killed once and for all by the Denziman using Denzi Boomerang.
Personality[]
Demon King Banriki was a violent and sadistic alien whose only interest was the advancement of his own goals and interests. Like the Vader Clan, he had a pathological hatred for anything beautiful and wanted to exterminate it but was far more violent than the Vader to such an extent that they feared him. He had a habit of joining and betraying organisations for his own gain which put him at odds with General Hedrer and they became rivals. The only being he was ever genuinely kind and friendly to was the Banriki Monster who he talked to like a good friend and was enraged when the Denziman killed him with Hedrian's help. Despite his evil, Banriki could act polite and clearly held some respect for General Hedrer; leaving him to fight the Denshimen after the general showed his determination.
Powers and Abilities[]
