| “ | 600 million years ago, the Dorin people lived in peace with the ancient people. They were charming, innocent beings. It seems the ancient people revered them as messengers to the Gods but a war happened and most of the Dorin were killed. From what I have inferred, I think it was the Machine Beasts. Yes. They likely made them to be servants but the Machine Beasts rebelled. They tried to kill all humans and take Earth for themselves. The rebellion was put down and the Machine Beasts all but destroyed. However, the ancient people realised that the Machine Beasts would revive in 600 million years. | „ |
| ~ Chief Counsellor Naoyuki Miura about the ancient Machine Beasts. |
| “ | Hysteria, Buldont. Listen well to what I have to say. 600 million years ago, I escaped into space as the only survivor of the war. On Planet Baranoia, I created you and the Machine Beasts and erected an Empire. In the previous battle, as humanity’s leader, he triumphed over us again and again. He will pay. This time, he will pay! | „ |
| ~ Emperor Bacchus Wrath revealing his origins. |
Emperor Bacchus Wrath is the founder and original leader of the Machine Empire Baranoia, the father of Prince Buldont, the uncle of Multiwa, the archenemy of the Ohrangers and the main antagonist of Chouriki Sentai Ohranger.
He is voiced by the late Tōru Ōhira who is best known as Darth Vader in the Japanese version of the Star Wars original trilogy and Soulcalibur IV and Moguro Fukuzō in the anime adaptation of The Laughing Salesman. Ōhira was also the narrator of every series from the 15th episode of Himitsu Sentai Gorenger until Kagaku Sentai Dynaman and then returned to narrate Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger.
Biography[]
Past[]
Bacchus Wrath was created by the ancient people of Pangea. the original continent of Earth, in order to serve and live alongside them. However, the machines rebelled against their creators and killed all but one of the Dorin but were entirely wiped out by Riki; the legendary hero whose Super-Power was enough to help the civilisation defeat the machines. As the sole survivor, Bacchus Wrath escaped to the Baranoia Planet where he spent millions of years rebuilding the Machine Beasts. Eventually, he built himself a vast empire, an army of robotic footsoldiers, mechanical servants and a robotic family which began the Machine Empire Baranoia.
With their army of Barlo Soldiers and Machine Beasts, the Machine Empire Baranoia were able to conquer or destroy multiple planets. However, the court jester Bomber the Great gained greater ambitions and tried to overthrow Bacchus to become the Baranoia's new Emperor. Bacchus Wrath easily defeated Bomber and wanted to execute him for treason but the jester was able to escape into exile. With their other conquests, Bacchus Wrath did not pursue the traitor. In 1997, Bacchus Wrath sent a scouting squadron of Takonpas to scour the planet’s defences. The scout mission was successful but this also led to Lieutenant Shunpei Kirino dying in Red Puncher when he tried to stop the fighters which also led to the Giant Robo being sealed under rocks.
Ohranger[]
Millions of years later, in 1999, Emperor Bacchus Wrath returns to Earth and leads an invasion of Earth. He rallies his forces and attacks New York and Paris but, overconfident in their abilities, he initially only sends a fleet of Takonpas and Bara Drill and Bara Saucer to to conquer Tokyo but they are destroyed by the newly formed Ohrangers. In retaliation for the death of Bara Brain and the creation of the Chouriki Mobiles, Bacchus Wrath leads a massive invasion of Takonpas but they are destroyed by Ohranger Robo and Bacchus Wrath has to flee with Acha and Kocha when the Super Crown Sword is thrown into their Baracticas. Realising that conquering Earth is impossible whilst they have Ohranger Robo, and taking inspiration from Bara Separate, Bacchus Wrath has the Barlo Soldiers upgrade Acha and Kocha with a growth program for his monsters and chooses Bara Missiler as their test subject. The Emperor then accompanies his Machine Beast to Earth and introduces himself to the Ohrangers before having Acha and Kocha enlarge Bara Missiler. After his Machine Beast defeats Ohranger Robo and throws it into the Sun, Bacchus Wrath congratulates him but the Ohrangers return after using their special helmets and manage to kill Bara Missiler so the angry Emperor retreats.
Hysteria is appalled by humanity's love for babies so Bacchus Wrath decides to exploit that to create a weapon of mass destruction. As such, Bara Baby is summoned with the mission of amplifying a baby's voice so much that it will destroy Tokyo. However, as Acha and Kocha soon report, the entire plan doesn’t work since the humans just pamper their babies to make them stop crying so Bacchus Wrath decides to use the destructive cries to destroy humanity's infrastructure and leave the Earth completely helpless against invasion only for this to fail when Bara Baby is killed. Eventually, Bacchus Wrath begins to scrap machines that show emotion but several scrapped machine parts end up fusing together to form a new Machine Beast called Bara Revenger. Angry with Bacchus Wrath over his betrayal, Bara Revenger turns on the Baranoia and attempts to kill the Emperor only for the more powerful Emperor to defeat the Machine Beast. Although seemingly burnt up in Earth’s atmosphere, Bacchus Wrath realises he survived so he orders the creature destroyed but Acha convinces him to make it more fun. As such, Bacchus Wrath accompanies Acha and Kocha along with the Barlo Soldiers to ambush Bara Revenger and Yuji. After a long battle, Acha takes control of Bara Revenger and forces him to fight the Ohrangers to the death much to Bacchus Wrath’s delight.
After the death of Bara Hungry, a mysterious pyramid appears from a dimensional rift and lands in the centre of Tokyo which Bacchus Wrath recognises as King Pyramidder; the signature weapon of his ancient archenemy Riki who had been sent into hibernation until the Machine Beasts' return. Enraged and intent on killing him, after multiple attacks by the Barlo Soldiers and even Bacchus Wrath himself fail, the Emperor sends his Machine Beast Tamer Keris to kill them. After she captures and seems to kill Riki, Bacchus Wrath has her empower Bara King with Riki’s power and skill to trick and kill the Ohrangers but both the Machine Beast and Keris are soon killed in battle. After the death of Bara Faucet, and that of the exiled Bara Nightmare, Bacchus Wrath begins his ultimate scheme. Recreating an army of past Machine Beasts as giants, Bacchus Wrath upgrades them with the Magma Enhancement Program which makes the creatures stronger than Ohranger Robo or Red Puncher. However, the Ohrangers trick him by using a Trojan Horse; mentioning a “gift from God” whilst Kocha watches which leads to Bacchus Wrath having his Machine Beasts bring the presents into the cave where the upgrades are occurring and destroy them. When they try to destroy the presents though, they turn into the newly designed Blocker Robos which easily overwhelm the Machine Beasts and quickly destroy most of the monsters and seemingly Bacchus Wrath as well by collapsing the cave on top of them.
However, Emperor Bacchus Wrath survives and grows to giant size before summoning a Dark Sword and planning to kill the Ohrangers himself. After a tough battle with the Ohrangers however, Emperor Bacchus Wrath is easily destroyed by OhBlocker's Twin Blocken Crash which leaves the Machine Empire Baranoia leaderless until he can be rebuilt. Before that can happen however, Bomber the Great returns and takes control of the Baranoia so Hysteria hides his still living remains on one of Jupiter's moons. Bacchus Wrath later gives his remaining energy to transform Buldont into Kaiser Buldont with all of his remaining power after he is killed by Bomber the Great. Bacchus Wrath then asks Hysteria to look after thier son before he goes offline forever due to his energies being completely drained.
Legacy[]
Despite his death, Kaiser Buldont was able to dethrone and kill Bomber which allowed him to take control of the Machine Empire with his cousin Multiwa. However, Buldont and Multiwa were later killed in battle which marked the end of the Baranoia though Bacchus Wrath's "bloodline" lives on in his grand-son Buldont Jr but Jr will be raised to be good by Gunmazin and Acha and Kocha.
Gaoranger vs Super Sentai[]
| “ | Did you know that this beautiful blue planet you all live on has been under attack multiple times, almost losing its glimmer? But please, do not worry. There have been warriors of justice who have bravely stood up against evil. Their burning spirits have defended the planet to this day. | „ |
| ~ The narrator. |
Emperor Bacchus Wrath is among the villains recalled by the narrator as a being that threatened the Earth only to be defeated by the various Sentai.
Zenkaiger[]
Twenty-two years after Emperor Bacchus Wrath's death, the newest threat to the universe (the Tojitendo Empire) emerges and creates Super Warumono World. As a World Monster based around resurrecting past Sentai villains, Super Warumono World has his body made up of parts from many other past Sentai villains with a codpiece based on Bacchus Wrath. The Baranoia Emperor was also going to be one of the villains resurrected by the Tojitendo to turn the Zenkaiger Earth into a world ruled by villains but this never happens as Super Warumono World is swiftly killed by the Zenkaigers.
Personality[]
| “ | Humans are weak. Not at all like us. Machines live forever. The indestructible lives we live are akin to Gods! We are the only beings fit to rule the universe. Foolish humans! We need to make them suffer! That is the only way they will realize their inferiority. | „ |
| ~ Emperor Bacchus Wrath’s supremacist view of Machine Beasts. |
Emperor Bacchus Wrath was a bigoted, ruthless entity that would do anything in his power to destroy the Ohrangers and rule the Earth. He was extremely intolerant of failure and unable to take responsibility, deflecting responsibility for failures onto Acha and Kocha even if they had no involvement in the plan whatsoever. He also had an incredibly foul temper; blowing a proverbial gasket any-time that Acha contradicted what his son said. Being as ruthless as he was, Bacchus Wrath was perfectly willing to betray others for his benefit like when he dissected Bara Cactus 2 to understand how he could have feelings or sent out Bara Ivy and left Seiichi Kuroda powerless after he proved to be useless.
| “ | Pick up the pace! More! More! Crush any duds in the line-up! Only the machine elite have a right to exist in my Empire. Machines with foolish emotions have no right to live! | „ |
| ~ Bacchus Wrath’s ruthless nature. |
Bacchus Wrath looked down on humans and considered them fragile life forms whilst he compared himself and his Empire to the Gods. This lack of understanding of emotion even occasionally affected his plans, most notably with Bara Baby when his entire plan hinged on humans being willing to turn against their children on a whim and this failed miserably. As seen with Bara Darts, Bacchus Wrath could be very sexist as he claimed all women can be sneaky and underhanded which Hysteria objected to. Somewhat hypocritically however, despite being seemingly coldhearted and claiming to see emotions as pathetic wastes of time, he loved his wife and son dearly to the point he eventually gave his life to save his son.
