| ~ Don Dolnero's final words before his death |
Don Dolnero (ドン・ドルネロ, Don Dorunero) is the main antagonist in Mirai Sentai Timeranger. He is a blue whale-themed alien mafioso and the original leader of the mafia group Londerz Family (ドルネロズファミリ, Dorunero Famirī).
He was voiced by Ryūzaburō Ōtomo.
History
He was supposed to be put under imprisonment for 1,000 years, as Prisoner #35273, until his gang (Lira and Gien) took over the prison and managed to go back in time to pull off numerous crimes. He resembles an overweight middle-aged mafioso in human form.
With Borg's help, he took over a company to make even more money, setting up a "protection business". He truly cares for his associates, especially Gien, whose mental stability often concerns him. When Gien released Emboss, Dolnero provided his blood to the Timerangers so the City Guardians could make the vaccine before he shut down Gien with a special attachment to stop him from going too far in his psychotic delights.
Once the attachment was removed and destroyed by Ryuya Asami, Dolnero evacuated the Londerz Prison before going out to kill Gien, who was a totally insane robot by that time. Dolnero was unable to carry out the deed, only to get killed himself by Gien. In his final moments, he gave the Timerangers the remaining Londerz Prisoners he had in the Londerz Prison.
