Dark King Zylpheeza (冥王 ジルフィーザ Meiō Jirufīza) is the demon of Aerial Calamity, is Grand Witch Grandiene's second born child and leader of the Saima Family with the title of Dark King. He is later ressurected to become Destruction God Zylpheeza II (破壊神ジルフィーザII Hakaishin Jirufīza Tsu).
History[]
Though he hates humans, Zylpheeza is deeply loving to his siblings and mother. He was admired by Beast Baron Cobolda and Evil Spirit Princess Denus. After being man-handled by the GoGoFive, Zylpheeza went on a personal war with them. After Chimera's defeat he fought them as a giant and then overpowered Grand Liner and Liner Boy, by withstanding their attacks and then disabled Liner Boy, while using the power of his life energy to critically damage Grand Liner. Once Mondo Tatsumi and Kyoko completed the adjustments on Victory Robo, it was sent where Zylpheeza overpowers it as well after withstanding Victory Prominence. Once the GoGoFive learn about the new upgrade they reactive Liner Boy and then form the newly created Max Victory Robo. With it's ability to absorb his life force attack, the energy absorbed by the Max Victory Robo was used to finish Zylpheeza off with the Max Nova attack, resulting in his death.
After a few attempts, Zylpheeza was resurrected, at the cost of Denus's life. He soon learned the truth of his mother, after killing his younger brother Cobolda, under her influence. He was then killed when his mother used him to start a great fire in an attempt to kill the GoGoFive (minus GoRed). Before he died he convinced GoRed to go after Grandiene instead of helping his siblings as it was the only way to stop the fire, then thanked him solemnly for having good ties with his own family.
After being forced to murder Coboldia in an attempt at killing four of the GoGoV, Dark King Zylpheeza shrieks at Grandiene for answers in a fit of rage. Grandiene then reveals her motive; according to her, all children eventually turn against their mother for power, and she never loved them and plans to kill them once she is victorious. She has only kept them alive for this long since they make good generals and cannonfodder much to Zylpheeza’s outrage. Grandiene then uses him for one last purpose; mortally wounding him with a massive energy blast that mortally wounds him, and the explosion generates flames to roast the GoGoV alive. Fortunately, Matoi is freed from his parasite and Zylpheeza approaches him to tell him how to save his friends before finally dying. Matoi manages to do so and defeats Grandiene to save his friends, eventually managing to destroy her body but her soul survives by collecting all of the Minus Energy in the universe.
Using a ceremony, Spell-Master Pierre later resurrects both Salamandes and then Zylpheeza but the latter is a mindless slave. Though he regains his mind enough to fight back, Salamandes impales his brother with his spear and kills him though Shou and Nagare use their Go Blasters to destroy him as well. However, Grandiene uses her Minus Energy to possess and resurrect both Zylpheeza and Salamandes as Destruction Gods to wipe out humanity. Zylpheeza becomes Destruction God Zylpheeza II and destroys/disables most of the mecha, but is killed by the Max Victory Robo Black Version.
Personality[]
Zylpheeza was loyal to Grandiene and respected by his siblings. Bearing witness to his mother’s true nature at the expense of Venus and Cobolda makes him lose all respect for Grandiene and turn on her. Late in the show, even showed Matoi respect for having such a strong bond with his own siblings.
