History[]
In the name of his ambition to dominate the galaxy, Majin Daruga led the Daruga Imperial Army in the conquest and destruction of dozens of planets. He also sanctioned his brother Kaiser Hades's assault on Planet Riser, as it stood in the way of their universal conquest, and had his Legendar Drake assassinate Planet Riser's princess Maia.
Although Kaiser Hades was defeated and sealed by the Riser heroine Nolun, Daruga continued lead his army in conquering planets in the hundreds of years after. A resistance formed by survivors of planet Riser rose up to oppose him, but Daruga's Legendars were able to crush it and kill most of its members.
Daruga sets his sights on Earth.
After receiving word of his younger brother's death on Earth, Daruga took an interest in the Justi Power held by Earth's Justirisers and ordered his army to target the planet for conquest next. As part of their campaign, Daruga sent Commander Adorocs to Earth as a vanguard to prepare the planet for his arrival. Adorocs attempted to steal the Justirisers' Justi Crystal to deliver to Daruga, but after his repeated failures to do so Daruga began to threaten to execute him should he not succeed. Eventually, when Adorocs attempted to flee from a battle with the Justirisers, Daruga prevented him from doing so and forced him to fight them, resulting in his death.
Despite this, Daruga remained undaunted and soon arrived on Earth to personally lead its conquest, bringing with him a massive army of Zakoal led by his strongest Legendar, Drake. Once his army was assembled on Earth, Daruga gave a speech to his followers from atop his hover platform, eager to finally face the Justirisers himself. Daruga would send Drake to obtain Demon Knight's power while he fought the Justirisers personally, easily besting them and even managing to hold his own against Shirogane.
After getting a taste of the Justirisers' power, Daruga sent Megarion to Earth to rampage, leading the Justirisers to call upon their Genseishin and form Justi Kaizer in order to fight it. Around the same time, Demon Knight's Riser Power began to react with Reika and fully awaken. Just as Demon Knight was about to achieve his true potential however, Daruga stole his Riser Power and used it to transform into Dark Demon God Kurogane. With the power of Planet Riser in his hands, Kurogane easily decimated Justi Kaizer and damaged RiseRoss to the point where it could no longer be used.
The Justirisers responded by destroying Kurogane's battleship and killing Drake, but this did not stop the Daruga Imperial Army's invasion.
Kurogane summoned his Battle Fortress Planet Diglos to Earth and prepared to use its Gigatron Cannon to destroy Earth. To keep the Justirisers at bay while the Gigatron Cannon charged, Kurogane sent the Diglos's massive army of Bulgario Mecha to Earth to raze the city and keep the Justirisers distracted. The Justirisers and Demon Knight battled the Bulgarios in their Genseishin and Ryuto, but Demon Knight and Riser Glen both sensed the Gigatron Cannon charging and flew up in Ken Riser and Ryuto to try and stop it. While they attempted to get close to the Diglos, Riser Kageri and Riser Gant did their best to hold off the Bulgarios in Nin Riser and Juu Riser respectively, but both eventually were overwhelmed by the number of Bulgarios and their Genseishin became too damaged to continue fighting. Just as the Gigatron Cannon was ready to fire however, Riser Glen and Demon Knight were able to blow it up but seemingly sacrificed themselves in the process.
Kurogane survived and descended to Earth to confront Mio, Reika and the two remaining Justirisers. Kurogane mocked them over their comrades' apparent deaths before fighting the two Justirisers, who did their best to stand up to him but couldn't match his power. After knocking them both out of their transformations, the Shade Star showed up, controlled by Nolun's spirit, and attacked Kurogane to buy time for the Justirisers, but Kurogane easily downed it. Kurogane then prepared to finish Yuka, Shinya, Mio and Reika off, but Shouta suddenly showed up to protect them, revealing he had been saved by Jinno at the last minute. Shouta then transformed into Riser Glen and joined his comrades in facing Kurogane, who declared that he would turn Earth into his mobile war planet and make it the seat of his new empire. After the three Justirisers fought back Kurogane, Kurogane then transformed into a giant space beast and went on a rampage through the city to lay waste to what was left. However, Mio, an injured Jinno and the Genseishin all funneled their powers to the Justirisers to fuse them into a giant Shirogane so they could stop Kurogane. Together as Shirogane, the three Justirisers destroyed Kurogane with their Justi Crush attack and put an end to the space tyrant's brutal conquest.
