Biography[]
Past[]
Star King Bazeu was a planet-like being known as the Gozma Star, which grew larger and more powerful by devouring planets and wanted to become the most powerful being in the universe. To further his consumption of planets, Bazeu established the Great Star League Gozma to conquer planets for him and prepare them to be consumed. The first planet to be destroyed was the planet Mirellian, home to a race of angelic aliens so peaceful that merely staring at them would cause one to lose all violent thoughts. Bazeu saw their ability to pacify people as a threat to his conquest and thus destroyed their homeworld, though the Mirellians managed to survive by sending a Memory Doll out into space that would seed more of their kind.
As Bazeu conquered planets throughout the galaxy, he used the threat of their total destruction to recruit the champions of the planets to his cause. In exchange for serving in his army, his conquered races would have their planets spared. He once faced a rebellion from inside his forces by General Giluke and Queen Ahames. Though Bazeu put down the rebellion, he chose not to kill either of them and instead sent Ahames to work in a different division of the Gozma. Due to really being a massive planet, Bazeu communicated with his subordinates as a hologram floating in space whilst his real self hid.
Changeman[]

Bazeu eventually sets his sights on Earth, a planet which he feels is much more beautiful than the mostly cold and desolate planets he conquered in the past. He entrusts Giluke to lead the invasion from Gozma's flagship, the Gozmard, giving him a variety of Space Beast Warriors to command. As the Gozma's Earth invasion wares on, Ahames arrives on Earth to assist the Gozma in conquering the planet and hopefully get Bazeu to restore her homeworld of Amazo in return. While Bazeu has not summoned her, he agrees to allow her to co-command the invasion with Giluke. Though dissatisfied with Giluke's handling of the Earth invasion, Bazeu permits him to have one more chance by harnessing the Rigel Aura of Nana and using it to power himself up. After the aura is stolen by Ahames and Giluke is defeated by the Changeman, Bazeu punishes him by throwing him inside a black hole that leads to a space graveyard.
Despite Giluke's apparent demise, he later resurfaces as Ghost Giluke, having fused with the remains of a Space Beast inside the graveyard in order to survive. Bazeu allows him to stay and work for the Gozma again, impressed with his tenacity to survive death. Eventually, as the Gozma invasion of Earth enters into a stalemate, Bazeu gives Giluke permission to begin using his own crew members as candidates to create Space Beast Warriors from. The first candidate Giluke selects is his own former lieutenant Adjutant Booba. Booba resists being turned into a Space Beast and is rescued by his former companion Lady Pirate Jill, only for Giluke to kill her. A furious Booba attempts to duel Giluke, but Bazeu interrupts the fight and sends them both back to the Gozmard, allowing Booba to stay untransformed into a Space Beast Warrior.
Bazeu later has Adjutant Shiima transformed into a Space Beast Warrior, followed by Ahames' pet dragon steed Jangeran. However, the Gozma's invasion efforts become further complicated with the defections of Navigator Gator, Shiima and Booba, the latter of whom die to free Shiima from Bazeu's influence. With few forces remaining in Gozma, Bazeu resorts to transforming Ahames into the Space Beast Maze and sending her on a suicide attack to destroy the Dengeki Sentai's base, an attack which proves successful. Bazeu then directs Giluke to launch a final attack on Earth in the Gozmard, but this attack is stopped by the Changeman. At this time, Bazeu secretly begins to approach Earth by hiding in the tail of Halley's Comet, planning to destroy the planet by ramming into it.

However, after boarding the Gozmard, Commander Yui Ibuki is able to hack its computer to find out Bazeu's location, leading the Changemen and their extraterrestrial allies to Gozma Star. Bazeu destroys the Gozmard to prevent Ibuki and the aliens from discovering his true location, but they are saved by the Changeman and brought into Shuttle Base just in time. The Changemen discover that the Gozma Star is about to ram into Earth, but soon find themselves lost in space and unable to get back to it. After being guided back to Gozma Star by Sayaka of the planet Mirellian and her Memory Doll, the Changemen land on the planet to track down Bazeu and find a way to stop it from destroying Earth. Upon landing, the Changemen are met by a hologram of Bazeu, who sends strengthened Hidrer Soldiers to attack them. The Changemen attempt to stop Bazeu by firing lasers at him, but his hologram simply blasts them with a jolt of electricity. Ibuki then intervens and transforms into his alien form to attack Bazeu, but Bazeu flings him back at the Memory Doll before devouring him and the Changemen.
The Changemen penetrate Gozma Star with Change Robo to get at the core.
Finding themselves inside Bazeu's stomach, the Changemen realize the shocking truth; the planet they are on is in fact Bazeu's true form. A hologram of Bazeu then appears before them and reveals his true nature to them, before attempting to finish them off. However, the Changeman manage to escape by blasting a hole in Bazeu's stomach with the Change Bazooka and getting Gyodai to enlarge the Memory Doll so they can ride out on it. After escaping, the Changemen form Change Robo to finish Bazeu off while Ibuki and their alien allies escape on board the Shuttle Base. Flying up in space, the Changemen use Change Robo to plow through Bazeu and get directly to his core. With a slash from Change Robo, the Changemen destroy the core and blow up Gozma Star, killing the planet eater and putting a definitive end to the Gozma's reign of terror.
Turboranger[]
| “ | Dengeki Sentai Changeman. After a long battle, they defeated Star King Bazeu and brought peace to the universe! | „ |
| ~ The narrator. |
During the Turborangers' first battle against the Hundred Bohma Tribes, they are joined by all ten previous Super Sentai teams which includes the Changemen. As the Sentai challenge the Bohma's view that they are all useless, the narrator recalls the Changemen's many battles against the Great Star League Gozma and how they ultimately put an end to Star King Bazeu.
Personality[]
Bazeu reminiscing on the time he destroyed Planet Mirellian.
Bazeu was a cruel and selfish being, driven purely by a desire to sustain himself and grow stronger by devouring the energy of planets. He cared not for his subordinates and ruled by fear alone, using his conquered planets as leverage by threatening to destroy them unless their inhabitants served in his army. Bazeu was also noted for his low tolerance of failure, having any subordinate who failed him enough times executed.
At the same time, if a subordinate of his served a useful function or managed to prove their strength in some way, Bazeu was all to happy to let them live. While he sought to consume planets purely to survive, Bazeu was shown relishing at the destruction he as brought to countless planets across the universe, taking joy in the suffering he has caused. He had also showed amusement at his subordinates (particularly Giluke and Ahames) whenever they do something he found to be especially wicked.
