History[]
Past[]
Some time before Dereputa destroyed the Heaven Tower, Kurasuniigo decided to act on his own and attacked the Goseigers. He targeted Hyde as he protected the ocean, but his elder Magis appears to try and rescue him. Through a sacrificial attack, Magis attacks Kurasuniigo and throws him into the ocean as he dies.
Goseiger[]
However, Kurasuniigo managed to survive and reemerged from the water to resume his mission. When Hyde discovers Kurasuniigo's return, he immediately attacks him out of vengeance over Magis' death, but ends up throwing off the Goseiger's battle abilities and thus allows for the Warstar Insect to escape.
After rediscovering his own purpose to protect the ocean by way of an ichthyologist friend of Professor Amachi, Hyde becomes rededicated to his mission and calmly and coordinately works to fight and ultimately defeat Kurasuniigo, stunning him with the Seaick Bowgun before the team destroys him with the Gosei Buster. After Buredoran revives and enlarges him, he was made quick work with Seaick Gosei Great.
Personality[]
Kurasuniigo was a ruthless, devious, treacherous and highly abusive alien monster, who was loyal to Warstar and would stop at nothing to destroy the Goseigers and help his master Mons Drake take over the Earth. He was shown to have a personal rivalry and contempt towards Hyde, because he was responsible for the death of Hyde's friend and comrade Magis and considered the GoseiBlue weak and helpless against his strength and was far too confident in his abilities, truly believing that Hyde was incompetent in his mission as a Goseiger and he would defeat GoseiBlue easily. However, just like in the case of multiple other Sentai villains and monsters, Kurasuniigo's confidence and arrogance proved to be his greatest weakness, which led to his downfall at the hands of Goseigers.
