Biography[]
Past[]
As with all members of the Machine Empire Baranoia, Bara Devil was built by Emperor Bacchus Wrath and Empress Hysteria some 65 million years ago on Planet Baranoia. Along with the rest of the Machine Beasts and the Barlo Soldiers, Bara Devil helped them to devastate and conquer multiple planets.
Ohranger[]
Millions of years later, in 1999, Bacchus Wrath and his Empire return to Earth and launch an invasion of Earth but the Ohrangers arise to oppose them.
Bara Devil is sent by Prince Buldont to use his magic to cause devastating natural disasters by generating his Devil World. The ultimate plan is to either remove any chance of humanity defending themselves or completely wiping out the species entirely with Bara Devil first being seen arriving on Earth to fulfil this goal. When Shouhei confronts him though, he tries to kill the Ohranger with his Note Bomb only to instead bring a child named Jun from the year 2200. When Bara Devil tries to generate his Devil World again however, Jun's pendant instead knocks him and his Barlo Soldiers over so the Machine Beasts sends his footsoldiers to grab the boy only for Shouhei to intervene. Although Bara Devil quickly gains the upper-hand, the other Ohrangers arrive and blast Bara Devil who retreats as they fight the Barlo Soldiers. Back in the Baranoia Palace however, Bacchus Wrath takes control of Buldont's scheme as he sees that the pendant would allow them to go back in time and kill the Ohrangers' ancestors so they would never be born. As a result, Bara Devil confronts Shouhei, Jun and Jun's new friend Mikio but his melody once again fails and he flees.
After Shouhei retrieves the pendant though, Bara Devil grows to giant size by himself and demands that they give him the pendant before trying to roast the three as they flee and the Barlo Soldiers advance. When Shouhei morphs and defeats the Barlo Soldiers, Bara Devil blasts him with fire and grabs the Ohranger only for the other Ohrangers to arrive with the Chouriki Machines. Goro then knocks down Bara Devil with the Giant Roller, forcing him to drop Shouhei who helps the others to overwhelm Bara Devil whilst Goro defeats the Barlo Soldiers. Once they are gone, they form Ohranger Robo which Bara Devil tries to destroy with his Note Bombs but they instead knock him away with the Horn Head's Taurus Thunder and then use his keyboard to send Jun back to the future. Unsuccessful at ranged attacks, Bara Devil uses his baton but is overwhelmed and killed by the Crown Final Crash.
Gaoranger vs Super Sentai[]
Daimon of GoGoV recalls the Ohrangers fighting Bara Devil to Kai Sorezu of the Gaorangers during a speech about the past fights that other Sentai have had after Lost Highness Duke Rakushaasa makes him lose hope. Daimon uses Shouhei's battle against Bara Devil as an example of how past Sentai Rangers used different special techniques to defeat their enemies.
Personality[]
Bara Devil is a violent and overconfident Machine Beast that took delight in torturing humans with his Devil World symphony. After his plan was changed, he shows a far more determined and relentless side but he is very loyal to Buldont and his masters.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Strength: Bara Devil took down Shouhei with a single strike of his baton to the Ohranger's back and, when giant, could knock back Ohranger Robo with single slashes and a stab from his baton.
- Durability: Bara Devil was uninjured by being brutally shot by Goro's King Blaster, struck by the Giant Roller, slammed in the crotch by BranTaurus' Taurus Attack, a powerful barrage from DoguRanger and MoaLoader, shot by the Taurus Thunder lightning and repeated punches and kicks from Ohranger Robo.
- Teleportation: Bara Devil can teleport to any location at will by turning into blue energy notes and flying away before the notes recombine at thier destination.
- Piano Playing: Being a piano based monster, Bara Devil is a skilled pianist who can easily play many tunes on the keyboard placed on his stomach. However, he can also use this for a variety of attacks.
- Natural Disaster Creation: By playing the Devil's Symphony on his keyboard, Bara Devil can generate his Devil World and cause devastating natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and tsunamis. In doing so, day turns to night and images of the disasters appear in the sky to spread thier effects across the area.
- Note Bomb: Bara Devil's signature attack where he plays his piano and generates energy sheet music behind him that fire explosive blue musical notes at the enemy. These were strong enough to cause large explosions and knock back Ohranger Robo.
- Time Hole Opening: Bara Devil's Note Bomb can also accidentally open holes in time by reacting with Jun's pendant.
- Self Growth: Bara Devil can grow to giant size without apparent help from Acha and Kocha.
- Flame Breath: Bara Devil can breath orange flames from his mouth capable of causing large explosions and knocking down Shouhei with one hit.
- Energy Balls: Bara Devil can fire pink energy balls from his face capable of causing large explosions but failed to stop the Chouriki Mobiles.
Weaknesses[]
- Jun's Pendant: Due to operating at the same vibration frequency as Bara Devil's note, the future boy Jun's pendant cancels out his signature musical powers.
- Keyboard: Due to having an exposed keyboard on his waist, others can play Bara Devil's keyboard to thier own means as seen when Ohranger Robo sent Jun back to the future.
Arsenal[]
- Baton: Bara Devil wields a long conductor's baton that he can use to conduct his music and smack his enemies with.
