Biography[]
Past[]
Nothing much is known about Eras or where she came from. In prehistoric times a 65 million years ago, she created the Ryusoul Tribe to protect and defend planet Earth, only for the Ryusoul Tribes to begin waging wars against each other that damaged the planet. Deeming the Ryusoul Tribes failed creations, Eras created the Druidon Tribe to wipe out the Ryusoul Tribe. However, the Druidon Tribe instead launched their own invasion of the Earth to dominate it and subjugate the Ryusoul Tribe. She was eventually sealed within the crust of the Earth by the Ryusoul Masters and was left their after the rest of the Druidon Tribe retreated into space following the extinction of the dinosaurs caused by meteors crashing into Earth.
Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger[]
In modern era, the Druidon Tribe return to Earth in order to reclaim it. After the second and final death of Gachireus, the Druidon generals on Earth have been discussing the RyusoulCalibur when Pricious reveals that, as soon as the Ryusoul Calibur is pulled out, the Great Power of Druidon will awaken. Wizeru then realizes that Pricious intendes to revive Eras and Kureon, who has attempted to become a top general of Druidon, is displeased when he learns about Eras' existence and decides to eradicate the Ryusoulgers in order to get promoted.
During her time sealed, Eras fused with the Ryusoul Calibur and is slowly draining its power, causing Setoh to instruct the Ryusoulgers to go and retrieve it before Eras drained the last of its power. Eras' sealed state is later discovered by Master Black, who finds that Eras has fused with the Earth itself, enabling her to regenerate from the planet even if she was destroyed.
After excavating the site where she was sealed, Pricious asks Eras to add a new general to the Druidon's ranks. With her revival already imminent, Eras creates Gunjoji to aid Pricious in fighting the Ryusoulgers. Gunjoji is soon followed by an identical "little brother", Gunjoji II and then by Yabasword.
As Eras' revival becomes imminent, Yabasword goes berserk and attacks both the Druidons and the Ryusoulgers before growing giant and attempting to destroy anything in his path. After Pricious restrains Yabasword and brings him back to normal size, she then questions Eras as to why he had begun attacking other Druidons instead of being "loyal". Eras then frees Yabasword to continue attacking the other Druidons, causing Pricious to kill him by tearing his card. Pricious then demands to Eras to know what was happening, to which Eras reveals to Pricious the truth about the Ryusoul and the Druidon Tribes.
After being defeated by the Ryusoulgers, Pricious returns to Eras and pleads with her to create more siblings as the Ryusoulgers approach. After revealing to the Ryusoulgers the truth about the Ryusoul and Druidon Tribes, Pricious attempts to attack them again, only for Wizeru and Kureon to barge in and interrupt the fight. Wizeru and Kureon reveal to them all that Eras' goal is not only the destruction of the Ryusoul Tribe, but the Druidon Tribe as well for waging their own campaign to dominate the planet. Soon after revealing this however, Eras fully awakens and shoots out a beam of light that pierces through Kureon and kills Pricious. Eras then absorbs Pricious into herself and reveales her true form, declaring that she will remake the planet, before blinding the others in the room with a flash of light.
Growing giant, Eras causes every human in the world to fall asleep and places them inside dreams where their greatest wishes are fulfilled. However, with help from Kureon, the Ryusoulgers manage to reawaken and went to confront Eras, but are unable to stand up to her overwhelming power. Eras then assimilates everyone still asleep on Earth into herself and creates a massive tree to drain their power so she can remake the world; absorbing Melt, Asuna and Kureon into herself too, but they manage to break free after Melt has Kureon create a Satan Minosaur from him, causing them to burst through her chest. Eras quickly destroys the Minosaur before turning her attention to the Ryusoulgers, asking them why they oppose her despite her making everyone be happy in their dreams forever. While some of the Ryusoulgers like Canalo are ready to concede to Eras, Asuna denounces Eras for trapping them in dreams and separating them from each other. Asuna's courage inspires the other Ryusoulgers to stand up to Eras, and they summon all of their Kishiryu to fight Eras in a final battle.
The Ryusoulgers in their combined Kishiryu charge at Eras, but Eras blasts them away with her tremendous power, separating the individual Kishiryu. However, the Kishiryu then all combine their power to restrain Eras so Koh can plunge the Ryusoul Calibur into her and seal her again. Koh leaps at Eras and stabs the center of her chest with the Ryusoul Calibur, but before he can drive it all the way in, the Ryusoul Calibur breaks, having been drained since it was last used. The power of the Ryusoul Calibur results in Eras being brought down to normal size, but also the Ryusoulgers' Ryusouls being drained and the Kishiryu using up the last of their power. Eras then stabs and kills Koh with her tentacle and drains his power to refill hers before preparing to finish the job of remaking the planet. However, the Ryusoulgers have their Ryusouls restored by the power of the Ryusoul Calibur and, after doing a final Ryusoul Change, become the Ryusoulgers and charge at Eras in the final battle.
Inside Eras, Koh's spirit communicates with Eras' core, who proclaims she will wipe out the Ryusoul Tribe, Druidon Tribe and the humans to create a new history that features none of them. Koh then questions Eras as to if she has ever felt emotion and states that, unlike her, who is being who can live forever, the Ryusoulgers' limited lifespans are what inspire them. As Koh proclaims that, the other Ryusoulgers all plunge their swords into the weak spot on Eras created by Koh with the Ryusoul Calibur, fatally wounding her. Defeated by her own creations, Eras concludes that this must mean she is no longer needed to defend the planet right before her body desintergrates and her core fades away.
Legacy[]
Although Koh was seemingly lost with Eras' death, the Kishiryu managed to rescue him and he survived as did Pricious who was soon found by Kleon and Wiserue.
Personality[]
Eras was once a kind and altruistic sentient being whom sought out peace. Over the course of time, however, her kind altruism converted to a passionate dogmatic extremism as she witnessed her creations the Ryusoul Tribe, who were supposed to uphold said peace, become maligned and warmongering entities, and the Druidon Tribe, who were created to exterminate the Ryusoul Tribe, seeking world domination. By Ryusoulger, she has grown disappointed at both sides contaminating her latest project and took it upon herself to remake it to her standards by sterilizing her experiment; converting the life force of its inhabitants to restore the damaged planet and start over. Despite this, she is not evil and her motives are altruistic as she believes that she was doing what the Earth needed despite how twisted her methods prove to be.
