Chozetsushin Deboth (蝶絶神ちょうぜつしんデーボス Chōzetsushin Dēbosu) originally known as Prehistoric God Dark Species Deboth (先史時代神暗黒種デーボス Senshi-jidaijin Ankoku-shu Dēbosu) was the true leader of the Deboth Army and the true main antagonist of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. Deboth’s ultimate goal was to gather all knowledge in the universe to basically become a god and destroy all planets to prevent people ascending to his level.
History
Past
Prehistoric God Dark Species Deboth was originally created by Creator Devius for the purpose of becoming the ultimate life-form. Travelling the cosmos to destroy various life forms, Deboth created Hundred-Faced High Priest Chaos and Wise God Torin as his heralds, with the latter sent to Earth during the Mesozoic Era. However, Torin betrayed Deboth and assembled the Zyudenryu to face him when he comes to Earth personally. During the fight, Deboth destroyed all 13 Guardians Zyudenryu and created Great Land Devil Gadoma to aid him before both are mortally wounded by an enraged Bragigas who used the forbidden weapon Gigant Cannon. With his heart damaged, with some of his cells scattered across the planet, Deboth's body entered a dormant, plant-like state before Torin sealed it away in the Antarctic seabed where it came to be known as the Frozen Castle.
Kyoryuger
When the Deboth Army awaken in 2013, their sole goal became to revive him to fulfill his goals but their initial attempt with Debo Hyogakki failed. TV STORY-Brave 1: He's Here! The Bright Red King
Eventually, Deboth was finally reawakened when Chaos has Debo Viruson revived and flood a dam filled with Restoration Water even though Deboth did not have enough Joy, Anger and Sorrow emotion energy to fully thaw out his heart. Due to his unfrozen heart however, Deboth only emerged in his Prehistoric Form (先史時代のフォーム Senshi-jidai no Fōmu) which caused the extinction of the dinosaurs and he lacked a mind so it completely feral. Even so, he had the upper hand against the Kyoryugers until Daigo's Brave powering up, as well as Kyoryuzin Kung-Fu scared Chaos that his master may be defeated. As such Prehistoric God Dark Species Deboth was shrunken down to human size by Luckyulo by the command of Chaos after Deboth went after Dogold, Canderrilla, Luckyulo and Aigaron when one of the Knights antagonized Deboth. TV STORY-Brave 22: It Can't be! Deboth Revived
Dark Species Deboth was resized back to a giant again to finish the job of destroying Plezuon thanks to the Knights wreaking only Plezuon Lab. He was soon faced by the determined Kyoryugers as well as the only Zyudenryu still fit for battle (Gabutyra, Plezuon, and Bunpachy) after his previous attack. However, the Kyoryugers soon formed Bakuretsu Kyoryuzin and the Dark Species soon found himself on the ropes when his cells started taking mortal damage by the Deboth Cell Destruction Program that was installed in Plezuon. Chaos tried to make him retreat but failed due to the mindless Deboth and he was lifted into the air and destroyed by Bakuretsu Kyoryuzin's Zyuden Cannon Bakuretsu Brave Finish. TV STORY-Brave 23: Stand! Bakuretsu Kyoryuzin
Luckyulo (who believed herself and Canderrilla to be the only surviving members of Deboth's army after Aigaron blew up) found his way back into the Frozen Castle despite it supposedly having been destroyed. This was revealed to be because that Deboth has survived by transferring his heart into Chaos before he was destroyed, allowing the Castle to be restored. TV STORY-Brave 25: What's This! The Nightmare of the Deboth Army
After learning joy, anger and sorrow, Deboth was able to re-assume his prehistoric form using the gathered energy (now with a mind) only to be destroyed by Bragi-Oh's Super Zyuden Giga Brave Finish. However, he escaped his death by birthing an egg fragment containing his mind from which he emerged into his final form and began a countdown, giving Kyoryugers 50 hours until he destroys the Earth. TV STORY-Brave 45: It Can't Be, Dad! Silver's End
Eventually, Deboth began his end-game plan; he used the dark energy across the land to resurrect all deceased members of the Deboth Army and used them to conquer Earth and make humanity suffer. Whilst the other Kyoryugers fought the Deboth generals, Nobu killing Killborero and Dogold working with Uchi to kill Endolf at the cost of the former's life, Daigo and Amy Yuuzuki entered the Frozen Palace for the final battle. TV STORY-Brave 47: The Great Counterattack! The Greatest Final Brave
Whilst Deboth fought Amy and Daigo, Chaos guarded the entrance to Deboth Hell only to be confronted by the Spirit Kyoryugers. Deboth revealed that his actions are the will of his creator who wanted him to become the ultimate life-form. He easily overwhelmed Daigo until the Kyoryugers singing the song of the Earth disrupted his powers and allowed Kyoryu Red Carnival to defeat him. Below, the Spirit Kyoryugers killed Chaos with the help of Canderrilla which destroyed the entrance to Deboth Hell and caused the army of Zorima to vanish. Horrified by his failure, Deboth revealed that destroying him and the Frozen Castle would result in Daigo's death as well but Daigo telled Deboth that he anticipated this which is why he let Amy escape. Deboth was finally killed by Daigo using the Super Charged Ten Zyuden Brave Final Finish which finally destroyed the remains of the Frozen Palace, permanently putting an end to the Deboth Army. All Deboth could do was cursing that he would never have been destroyed by learning more of the human race before exploding. TV STORY-Brave Final: Great Explosion! Goodbye, Kyoryuger
Legacy
Despite seeming to be destroyed with the Frozen Palace, Daigo was rescued in time by the Zyudenryu and commented to the others that they needed to be ready to face more threats in the future.
ToQger vs. Kyoryuger
As predicted by Deboth, the Kyoryugers and ToQgers later had to fight and defeat Creator Devius when he came to Earth to succeed where his creation failed a year later. TV STORY-Ressha Sentai ToQger vs. Kyoryuger: The Movie
100 YEARS AFTER
One hundred years after Deboth's death, it was revealed that he inadvertently created a special being amongst the revived Deboth Army who was formed from the anger over his defeat. It was later revealed to be the submissive Remorseful Knight Arslevan who betrayed his "superiors" to gain the ability to time travel and save Deboth from his destruction to easily conquer Earth. However, the Future Kyoryugers and present Kyoryugers defeated him, truly permanently putting an end to the Deboth Army once and for all. TV STORY-Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger Returns: 100 YEARS AFTER
Zyuohger
- "Watch yourself. Out of all the scum that have tried to destroy this planet, these are the worst."
- ―Gokai Red to Zyuoh Eagle[src]
Taken from the memory of Gokai Red, a recreation of Chozetsushin Deboth was brought forth by Bangray among a collection of the most nefarious adversaries faced by the Super Sentai. Like all of Bangaray's creations however, Deboth lacked his original personality and was mute as well as being much weaker than his real self. Overwhelming Gokai Red and Zyuoh Eagle initially, Bangray's forces were no matched when the Gokaigers and Zyuohgers join their respective Red warriors. Engaging the remaining five Zyuohgers alongside "Brajira of the Messiah", "Deboth" was defeated by their combined Zyuoh Slash. TV STORY-Ep. 29: The Monarch of the Monarchs
