Biography[]
Past[]
Ryuuwon was originally an adventurer and scholar who sought out the artifacts of the lost Lemuria civilization. After he was abandoned on an island by his fellow adventurer while they left with treasure, Ryuuwon developed a hatred of humankind. Using Lemuria's lost sciences and alchemy, Ryuuwon mutated himself into a monstrous dragon-like form and created the Jaryuu race from his blood, founding the Jaryuu Clan to achieve his goal of supplanting humanity with a race he genetically engineered.
GoGo Sentai Boukenger[]
After Masumi and Natsuki inadvertently reawaken Arch Priest Gajah whilst searching for the Heart of Gordom, Ryuuwon abductes Gajah to interrogate him on the location of the Gordom Civilization's other lost Precious, the Brain of Gordom. Gajah offers to give Ryuuwon the information he seeks and proposes that the two form an alliance to obtain it before the Boukengers can. While Gajah's Karths and Ryuuwon's Jaryuu Soldiers hold off the Boukengers, Gajah leads Ryuuwon to the site of the artefact but Gajah tricks Ryuuwon into falling into one of the traps around the artefact only for Ryuuwon to break free and attack Gajah. Satoru then swoops in and fights Ryuuwon, knocking him off a cliff before obtaining the artefact but Ryuuwon survives.
Ryuuwon's next plan is to obtain the Madness Weather Precious and use it to increase the temperature of the planet to make it deadly for humans but suitable for the Jaryuu Clan. However, as the Jaryuu are using the Precious, it suddenly malfunctions and reverses course, sending the planet into an ice age instead. Ryuuwon and his Jaryuu Soldiers retreat into hiding whilst the Boukengers dealt with the rampant Precious, destroying it and undoing its effects. Ryuuwon later has a pack of Jaryuu Soldiers duel each other to the death in a ritual to create a Wicked Dragon with the sole surviving Jaryuu being mutated into Wicked Dragon Dryken. At the same time, the Boukengers learn of Ryuuwon's method of creating Wicked Dragons from a short story that had been written based on some of Ryuuwon's lost notes. Ryuuwon sends Dryken to steal the Scale of the Salamander, a Precious he hopes to use to make Dryken even stronger, but his plan is thwarted by the Boukengers.
After Gajah obtains one of the Nami Uemono dolls and the map to Leon Giordana's notes that lay inside, he approaches Ryuuwon to ask for his help in locating the notes as he lacks the other map which shows the precise location of the notes. Ryuuwon agrees and loans Gajah one of his Great Evil Dragon mecha, the Girad, whilst he himself piloted the Great Evil Dragon. The two mecha are able to overwhelm the Boukengers in their GoGo Vehicles and capture DaiBouken which they bring to the island where the notes lay, hoping to use it to unearth them. However, Satoru has stayed on DaiBouken when it was captured and stowed away on it so he would be taken to the island and uses the map on the other Nami Uemono doll to locate the notes. Gajah takes notice of him and follows him to find the notes but Ryuuwon expected the betrayal and confronts Gajah. In the end, the Boukengers are able to successfully recover the notes though not before Gajah memorizes them.
Ryuuwon's next plan involves sending Lindom to search for Princess Kaguya's Medicine of Immortality. At some point, he comes across Ragi, a citizen of the Water Metropolis, searching the desert for the Water Crystal so he can use it to revive his lost civilization. Ryuuwon offers to help Ragi find it but makes him undergo a procedure to become a Wicked Dragon which involves forfeiting his Proof of Water which is needed to reenter the Water Metropolis. Ryuuwon then sends Ragi to obtain a map which shows the location of the Water Crystal and orders Wicked Dragon Naga to assist him. However, after a corner of the map is destroyed, Ragi is unable to decipher it to find the Water Crystal's location so Ryuuwon attempts to execute him for his failure. He is saved by Satoru who has memorized the corner of the map before its destruction and offers to help Ragi find it. As the two go to obtain the Water Crystal, Ryuuwon and Naga follow them so that the two can show them the way to the Crystal and then swoop in to obtain it. However, Ragi is able to obtain the Crystal first while Naga is destroyed by the Boukengers.
After Gajah uses the information he had memorized from Leon Giordana's notes to create the Gordom Engine, Ryuuwon storms into his lair and threatens him, accusing him of keeping the information from him. Gajah tells Ryuuwon the location of a Precious and gives him some rocks for creating Karths in an attempt to appease him. The next scheme Ryuuwon devises is to use the Dragon's Eye Precious to summon the spirit of the Ground Dragon and have Talong merge with it to harness its power. Talong steals the Dragon's Eye and uses it to manipulate several Feng Shui energy streams into crossing with each other to create an intersection to summon the dragon from. Talong is struck down by Satoru but, after Ryuuwon kicks him into the energy stream, Talong is able to fuse with the Ground Dragon and grow giant only to be killed
Ryuuwon next seeks the Egg of Lemuria, a Precious capable of giving birth to a living organic weapon called the Lemurian Mythical Beast. Ryuuwon is able to obtain the Egg but does not yet have the sword needed to control the Mythical Beast and so he sends three of his Jaryuu Soldiers to bring it back to his lair with orders not to open it until he obtains the sword. Despite this, when the three are corned by Eiji Takaoka, they choose to open it in order to summon the Mythical Beast to fight him off. Unable to distinguish friend from foe, the Lemurian Mythical Beast vaporizes them before turning and battling the Boukengers in their mecha whilst Ryuuwon locates the sword but finds himself unable to withdraw it from the stone it os embedded in as he does not have pure intentions for it. However, Satoru is able to draw the sword and promptly uses it to strike down Ryuuwon, seemingly killing him.
Ryuuwon survives and his next move is to form an "Another Species" alliance with the Questers to obtain the Sun of Lemuria and use its destructive power to wipe out humankind. Along the way, Ryuuwon and the Questers discover that Natsuki is actually a lost princess of Lemuria so, using Grand Beast Rei's hypnosis, Ryuuwon and his Quester allies are able to convince Natsuki that her parents want her to exterminate humanity and use her to activate the Egg of Lemuria in order to do so. At the same time, Ryuuwon uses the Quester technologies to complete his newest mecha, Evil Mechanic Dragon Grand. After Masumi reaches Natsuki and is able to snap her out of Rei's brainwashing, she joins her teammates in piloting DaiVoyager to battle Ryuuwon in Grand, destroying the Evil Mechanic Dragon with an "Adventure Double Screw." Ryuuwon formulates another plan to obtain the Jewel of Prosperity by creating a Wicked Dragon which resembles the mascot of MOE-TV, Dembey, and sending him to infiltrate the TV station to obtain the jewel from an actor there. After Dembey os defeated by the Boukengers, Ryuuwon fires his pistol at Dembey to enlarge him but he is defeated again by the Boukengers in their GoGo Vehicles.
Ryuuwon is later approached by the Questers who ask him to retrieve the Philosopher's Herb, a Precious which they say can be used to defeat the Boukengers. Ryuuwon is able to obtain the Precious and bring it to them only to find that the Questers have also approached the Gordom Civilization and Dark Shadow and asked them to obtain artifacts for them as well. The Questers then combine the three Precious each Negative Syndicate has obtained inside the Mercurious Vessel to create the Ultimate Artificial Lifeform Homunculus which they combine with in Jet Over to form a powerful Quester Robo before laying waste to the Boukengers in it. Ryuuwon and his fellow Negatives are at first impressed but, after the Questers betray them and announce that they will be the ones to topple humanity, Ryuuwon and the other Negatives stop rooting for them and the Questers are eventually killed by the Boukengers. Ryuuwon later has a 3,000 Jaryuu Soldiers, comprising most of his remaining horde, duel each other to the death in order to bring about the strongest Wicked Dragon, resulting in the last surviving Jaryuu being mutated into Dagargin. Ryuuwon then brings Dagargin with him for his operation to obtain the Three Headed Dragon of Darkness Precious and uses him to fight off the Boukengers when they arrive. Dagargin is easily able to overpower the Boukengers with his immense strength and power copying but Satoru discoveres a flaw in Dagargin's right arm which he later uses to bring down the Wicked Dragon, costing Ryuuwon the strongest member of his horde whilst the Three Headed Dragon of Darkness is stolen by Yaiba of Darkness.
Not long after, Ryuuwon discovers that the powers given to him by Lemuria's alchemy are weakening and that he is no longer able to create sustainable Jaryuu Soldiers. Ryuuwon then makes an attempt to obtain Pandora's Box in order to use its power to revitalize the Jaryuu Clan but Gajah also arrives to claim it and is able to beat the weakened Ryuuwon with the power he had gotten from infusing three Gordom Engines into himself. Once the Boukengers arrive, Ryuuwon commits suicide by stabbing himself in front of them, leaving behind only his helmet. As Ryuuwon's helmet is registered as a Precious, the Boukengers bring it to be contained within SGS's Precious Bank but this is all part of Ryuuwon's plan as he regenerates from his helmet and makes an attempt to steal the Egg of Lemuria, hoping to use it in conjunction with his own alchemy to create more warriors. While his teammates hold off Gajah and the newly created Desperado, Satoru goes back to the Precious Bank to stop Ryuuwon. The two do battle with various Precious artifacts before taking their fight outside where Satoru strikes down and defeats Ryuuwon. As a result of his defeat, Ryuuwon is reverted back to his human form, leading him to rush inside the Precious bank again in the hopes of finding the Egg of Lemuria to use it to give himself a new monster form even though SGS has set the bank to self destruct. Satoru follows Ryuuwon and attempts to convince Ryuuwon to accept his humanity but Ryuuwon refuses and is killed when the Precious Bank exploded though Satoru is rescued at the last moment by Zubaan.
Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger[]
Around four years after his death, Ryuuwon is revived when a lone Jaryuu Soldier obtains the Heart of Hades and places it in his body, resurrecting him and restoring his Jaryuu form. Following his revival, Ryuuwon encounters Captain Marvelous and Luka Millfy of the Gokaigers as well as his old enemy Satoru who agreed to give the Gokaigers his team's Greater Power in exchange for going on an adventure with him. Ryuuwon traps the three of them inside the cave he was revived in before leaving.
Outside, Ryuuwon encounters the other Gokaigers where he does battle against Development Technical Officer Insarn of the Space Empire Zangyack who see him as a threat to thier world conquering goals. After Marvelous, Luka and Akashi escape the cave, Ryuuwon is defeated when the Gokaigers using the Boukengers' Greater Power to remove the Heart of Hades from his chest before Gai in Gold Mode blasts him with the Super Legen Dream. However, the leftover energy from the Heart of Hades continues to course through Ryuuwon and causes him to grow giant but causes him to go completely feral. Although he overwhelms GokaiOh and Gaizyuzin, Ryuuwon is killed once and for all when the Gokaigers use the Boukengers' Greater Power to equip GokaiOh with the GoGoKen and perform the "Gokai Adventure Drive."
Personality[]
Ryuuwon was a vicious and cruel tyrant filled with contempt for humanity. Having a Darwinistic worldview, Ryuuwon saw his genetically-engineered Jaryuu race as superior to humans and sought to make the Jaryuu the dominant species on Earth by any means. Despite this, Ryuuwon did not value his individual Jaryuu Soldiers and would freely sacrifice them when convenient under the justification that he could always make more. In terms of tactics, Ryuuwon prioritized having stronger individual soldiers rather than bigger numbers and as such would sacrifice weaker Jaryuu in order to cultivate stronger Wicked Dragons. Although he was once human, Ryuuwon loathed humankind as a species and sought to eradicate the lingering humanity within him by any means.
Powers and Abilities[]
Ryuuwon posssesses multiple supernatural powers and abilities, due to his role as the supreme leader of Jaryuu Clan and is the most powerful member of the Clan, due to his status as the leader. He surpasses in power anyone of his underlings and is one of the most powerful enemies the Boukengers ever faced, being rivaled only by Gajah, Yaiba and Gai.
