“ | I have a scheme to kill Fighbird. Put that on. The other two are for Emperor Draias and Zol. If you forget to put it on, you will die too. | „ |
~ Dr. Jango Tarantino to Shura about his scheme to kill Fighbird. |
Dr. Jango Tarantino is the secondary antagonist of the anime series The Brave of Sun Fighbird. He is Dr. Hiroshi Amano's greatest rival and Draias' biggest ally. He alongside Shura and Zol carry out Draias' plans, but always fail. Secretly, he also seeks to overthrow Draias to take over the universe himself.
He was voiced by the late Junpei Takiguchi.
Appearance[]
Dr. Jango is an old, short man with bald forehead, white hair and crooked teeth. His left eye is red, implying that either it's artificial or he's wearing a monocle. He wears a purple cloak, white shirt, black pants and brown shoes. When he's turned younger by the Minus Energy, he has black spiky hair.
Personality[]
Dr. Jango is a mad scientist who is envious of Dr. Amano's achievements, so much that he stole the latter's research back in the day, leading to his banishment from the Academic Association. Despite this, Jango always blames Amano for his banishment, and believes that the world doesn't appreciate his talent. As such, he seeks revenge on them all, taking advantage of Draias' help to do so, even hijacking the Nobel Prize just to take all the titles for himself.
At the same time, Jango continues to steal Dr. Amano's works and modify them for evil purposes before claiming them to be his own. He is also arrogant, constantly tells humans or his other victims to suffer his wrath and boasts in front of Fighbird, only for the latter to thwart his plans every time. In those cases, Draias, Shura and Zol often mock him if they knew about his failures. Jango cares about nothing but standing on top and making everyone suffer, even secretly planning to overthrow Draias to rule the universe.
All in all, Jango proves that humans can be just as bad as the monsters that the Space Police Force fight.

The Brave of Sun Fighbird[]
After Draias comes to Earth with his two minions, Shura and Zol, they join forces with Dr. Jango, with Shura and Zol possessing two of his androids. Together with Draias, Jango plans to plunge Earth into darkness. Ever since then, Jango always builds machines for Draias and carries the latter's evil plans, which always fail. Secretly though, Jango seeks to overthrow Draias and becomes the universal emperor himself. Eventually, sick of Jango's continuous failings, Draias decides to go out to confront the Space Police Force himself.
Near the end of the series, Draias enslaves many humans and forces them to build the Devil Tower, which will accumulate the Minus Energy from the universe and turn him into a god. Thanks to the tower's effect, Jango becomes younger, but then becomes even older than before when Fighbird depletes the Minus Energy. After Draias' defeat, Jango is arrested by Inspector Satsuda.
