Great King Mons Drake of the Planet (大王惑星のモンス・ドレイク Daiō Wakusei no Monsu Doreiku) was a luna moth-themed Monsian who was the leader of the Universal Annihilation Army Warstar and the main antagonist of the first arc of Tensou Sentai Goseiger. He served as the overarching antagonist of the first 14 episodes before becoming the main antagonist of the 15th.
He was voiced by the late Shouzou Iizuka, who had previously voiced Führer Hell Saturn from Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan.
Biography[]
Past[]
During the invasion of another planet, Mons Drake saw Dereputa's fighting skills and was impressed. Confronting him, he offers to make him his right hand man, which Dereputa gladly accepts and has been loyal to him ever since to the point that he aids him every time that Mons Drake uses the Gravity Fall ritual.
Goseiger[]
Having conquered various worlds, Mons Drake turns his attention to Earth but Mons Drake learns of the Gosei Angels from his new follower Buredorun and sends Dereputa to destroy the Heaven's Tower in a preemptive strike to render the planet defenseless. However, five Gosei Angels in training were on Earth at the time and halt Warstar's invasion as the Goseigers. Mons Drake creates and tries multiple plans and attacks on Earth in an attempt to destroy the Goseigers and conquer the Earth. Eventually, after 11 onslaughts end in a failure, he grows tired of the Goseigers' interference (with the last one resulting in the death of his top soldiers Yokubabanger of the Electric Shock), Mons Drake personally attacks the Earth and performs the Gravity Fall to make the Moon collide with Earth. However, it is stopped by the Goseigers. After that failure, Mons Drake sends Dereputa to kill the Goseigers to avenge the failure of their plan but the Rangers manage to defeat Dereputa.
Following the supposed death of Dereputa, Mons Drake orders Buredoran to use Powereddark of the Mutation to avenge him. When that fails, he summons another one of his top soldiers, Targate of the Satellite to eliminate the Goseigers so he could replace Dereputa. But even Targate fell to them. Outraged with the deaths of Dereputa and Targate, Mons Drake uses his energy to assume his ultimate form. He then plans to transfer Earth's oxygen into the Indevader and have Buredoran crash into the Earth to incinerate all live on Earth. However, after a fierce and lengthy battle, he grows giant and overwhelms Gosei Great but is instead blasted into the Indevader by Hyper Gosei Great and consumed in the resulting explosion, killing him. Despite his death, Warstar is still at large and he is later succeeded as leader by Gyōten'ō of the Supernova a while later but even he eventually fails due to the powers of Gosei Wonder.
Mons Drake's spirit later appears to Brajira, futilely trying to attack him before being cast away. It seems that Mons Drake found out of his ulterior motives even though he never found out when he was still alive.
Gokaiger[]
Mons Drake is mysteriously revived in the Makuu Prison as a prisoner where he is sent to capture the Gokaigers. He ambushes Captain Marvelous and Ahim as the Skick Goseigers when they try and break in. He shoots them with a blast from his axe but Marvelous sees a door behind him so Ahim covers him with a windrush card. After saving Gavan, he is ultimately destroyed by the GokaiGalleon Buster's Special Charge when it rips into him from underground.
Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen[]
Mons Drake is revived as a member of the Dai-Zangyack faction but is only seen when Marvelous orders the Gokaigers to hunt down Kamen Rider OOO, Birth, and ProtoType with Dereputa, Brajira, Brajira's clones, and the Dark Headers. He is last spotted with Dereputa and Nanoma-Gatari trying to chase Hina-chan until Daiki Kaito shows up and blasts them. Great King Mons Drake and the other Goseiger villains are not seen again but they are presumed deceased.
Personality[]
Mons Drake was an alien who is merciless and remorseless in destroying planets. While his Gravity Fall ceremony was his favorite way of destroying planets, he preferred to send a Universal Insect Monster to do it in it's own twisted way. Despite being a warmonger, he was usually calm and patient as it took 10 initial onslaughts before he grew tired of the failures. He at least respected those that are close to them like Dereputa as his supposed death devastated him to the point where he became more abusive and unhinged, striking at Buredoran for any reason. When Targate was killed, Mons Drake completely lost his sanity and soon revealed his secret form to Buredoran before finding a plan to end the interference of the Goseigers forever. He didn't mind when Universal Insect Monsters act on their own without consulting him as shown with Fandaho of Nonsense and Kurasuniigo of 5000°C as long as they acted for the Warstar cause.
