Icon-ryusoulgerThis article is about a villain in Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger.

"Eh heh heh heh heh. Heh heh. Things have changed since back in the day. Which is why... You all are going to work for me."
―Pricious' first words when confronting Kleon, Gachireus and Wiserue in the Druidon War Room.[src]

"Nice try, little Ryusoulgers. The commander of the Druidons... Who will obtain all power for myself... Pricious. You must be Ryusoul Red… Would you like to fight me with everything you’ve got? If you’re scared, you can always surrender instead. Heh heh."
―Pricious introducing himself to the Ryusoulgers.[src]

"Wiserue!? Stay out of this!!"
―Pricious when Wiserue appeared in Eras' chamber and his final words before his apparent death.[src]

"Uh. Wait a minute... Hey! I'm not-- I'm alive, so... I'm still alive--!"
―Pricious' final words when being dragged away by Kleon and Wiserue.[src]

Pricious (プリシャス Purishasu) was the fifth general of the Warfare Tribe Druidon to invade Earth and the secondary antagonist of Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger.

History[]

Past[]

Pricious was created along with the other Druidon generals by Eras 65 million years ago. The Druidon Tribe was originally created by Eras to eradicate the rogue Ryusoul Tribe whose infighting and wars were damaging the planet, but Pricious and the other Druidon generals instead attempted to conquer Earth themselves.

Their plan of conquest was interrupted by an approaching meteorite, forcing the entire Druidon Tribe to leave the Earth and drift into space as the meteor struck the Earth and wiped out the dinosaurs.

Pricious somehow encountered Kishiryu Pterardon and sealed him in its pit mode and robbing it of its true abilities. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 43: Mother of the Druidon

Around 300 years ago, Pricious appeared on Earth and attacked the Ryusoul Tribe. He fought Master Green and Master Black, and was able to knock the latter off the cliff but retreated after defeated by Master Green, who used the power of Gaisoulg.

Pricious and Saden infiltrated the Sky Temple.

Sometime later, Pricious returned to the Earth once again with Saden to infiltrate the Sky Temple, and found the source of Eras' imprisonment: the Ryusoul Calibur. After Pricious surmised they couldn't remove the sword, he planned to have the Ryusoul Tribe remove it. As he plotted to bring back the Druidon generals scattered in space to force the Ryusoul Tribe's hand, he heard a sound of clattering rubble. Pricious ordered Saden to investigate and left. Unbeknownst to him, Master Black killed Saden and took the latter's identity in an attempt to thwart his plan.

Ryusolger[]

Pricious is the mastermind behind the Druidon Tribe's return to Earth in modern times, having orchestrated the revival of Tankjoh and the recruitment of Kleon. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 1: Que Boom!! Ryusoulger

After he finishes regenerating, Gachireus returns to Earth to help with the invasion and reveals to Wiserue that someone else is also targeting Earth which is presumably in reference to Pricious. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 27: The Unrivaled Fists

When Uden arrives on Earth, Wiserue wonders if it foretells Pricious coming to the planet to which Gachireus speculates that Pricious isn't far behind. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 33: New Assassin

After Uden's demise at the hands of Max Ryusoul Red, Pricious appears in front of Wiserue and Gachireus during their argument. He then traps their hearts into his cards and orders them to work for him. He orders Gachireus to copy Max Ryusoul Red's Everlasting Claw, which he does successfully. After the Space Dragon arrives on Earth, Pricious watches it battle Ryusoul Gattai KishiRyuOh Jet and calls the Space Dragon back into its container before Pricious introduces himself to the four present Ryusoulgers and defeats them. Afterwards, he retreats having made his presence known. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 34: The Space Dragon Appears!

Three days later, Pricious reappears and defeats the Ryusoulgers except Koh who shows up later. After Pricious loses to Koh, he calls the Space Dragon in to battle and leaves. When the Dragon is destroyed, Pricious vows to avenge it. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 35: The Greatest Battle on Earth

When Wiserue attempts to have the Sylph Minosaur retrieve his heart card, Pricious is able to deceive them and let them take the blank card instead. He then tells him not to cheat before teleporting away. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 36: Super Speedy Bodyguard

Later on, Pricious tries to take Kleon's heart but is unable to do so since Kleon doesn't have a heart. He then asks Kleon to decide on becoming his right hand man. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 37: Birth! The Greatest Tag Team

Sometimes later, Pricious tortures Gachireus for his failure and tells him about his last chance. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 38: Temple of the Sky

After Gachireus' death, Pricious teases Wiserue that he won't fail like Gachireus. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 39: Stolen Holy Night

Wiserue asks him why he still acted highly after being defeated but Pricious reveals that it's all part of his plan to revive Eras. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 40: Nightmare in the Fog

After Saden (who is Master Black in disguise) arrives and approaches Pricious, he notes the deaths of Uden and Gachireus, which Pricious expresses him gratitude on the Ryusoulgers' part. He agrees to Saden's proposal to steal the Ryusoul Calibur from the Ryusoulgers. Pricious states he can get rid of both Wiserue and Kleon now that Saden is here, both unaware that Kleon is watching in secret. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 41: Missing Holy Sword

After Wiserue's disappearance, Pricious leaves Wiserue's heart card on the ground (which Kleon collected). He and Saden watch Eras create Gunjoji, who Pricious considers to be his younger brother. He tells Gunjoji to be loyal to him and takes him to the city where they and Saden attack the city and fight the Ryusoulgers but retreat after they call their Kishiryus. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 43: Mother of the Druidon

When Eras gives birth to Yabasword, Pricious brings him and the first Gunjoji to attack the city, where they fight Koh and Asuna. When Pricious is about to kill Asuna, Oto and Pterardon arrive to save her. After Yabasword is defeated by KishiRyuOh DimeVolcano and YokuRyuOh, Pricious decides to retreat. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 44: Tested Bonds

When returning to Eras' chamber, Pricious can't find Saden and crushes Saden's heart card to summon him which leads to the Ryusoulgers following the general to Eras' chamber. As Pricious senses their presence, he lets Gunjoji and Yabasword go fight them whilst he stays with Eras. Saden appears and they have a little talk. When Pricious notices that Saden has talked boldly to him, he crushes his heart card to torture him. Afterwards, Saden cuts Pricious' arm off to retrieve his carded heart much to the shock that Saden is still able to move. Saden takes his helmet off, revealing himself to be Koh and runs away with the card using the HayaSoul. Pricious then regenerates his severed arm and screamed with insanity. When Pricious comes outside, he encounters Master Black who he learns he was disguised as Saden all along. The two begin to fight but, since Master Black just got his heart back, he's unable to move well which allows Pricious to defeat him. He is also interrupted by Towa and Bamba before he can do anything else.

A few moments later, Yabasword is affected by Eras which renders him berserk and attacks Gunjoji and the Ryusoulgers before assaulting Pricious, who demands to know why Yabasword is attacking the Druidon generals. Forcing Pricious aside, Yabasword grows into a giant and attacks everyone as he declares he will destroy both the Ryusoul and Druidon tribes before generating a cyclone that sends the Ryusoulgers flying in different directions. Left with no choice, Pricious stops Yabasword by trapping his heart into a card, shrinking him down and leaving him crying in pain on the floor. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 45: Get Your Heart Back!

End of Pricious

Pricious being absorbed by Eras

After returning to Eras' chamber, Pricious asks Eras about the situation. Eras responds by making Yabasword go berserk once again. Enraged, Pricious kills Yabasword by slashing his heart card and angrily demands Eras to give him an answer, so Eras implants her memories into Pricious, causing a shocked response. When the Ryusoulgers come to seal Eras, Pricious fights them all at once but is completely defeated. He flees to Eras, begging her to create another sibling for her. After the Ryusoulgers catch up, Pricious furiously tells them why Eras created the Druidons in the first place. Pricious is about to attack them but is stopped by the arrival of Wiserue who tells him the truth about Eras, so Pricious begins to break down. Wiserue then offers Pricious his hand but, before he can grab it, he is impaled by Eras' tendril and absorbed into her core which grants her a new physical form. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 46: Noble Kishiryu

Pricious being dragged away

Pricious being dragged away by Wiserue and Kleon

Pricious is somehow released from Eras' possession after the latter is killed by the Ryusoulgers. Attempting to finish his ambitions, he is instead taken by Wiserue and Kleon on a journey to Kleon's homeland. He demands them to let go but they refuse with Wiserue telling him they're going have a grand adventure. Tvicon TV STORY-Final Ep.: The Will of the Earth

Pricious' current whereabouts are unknown since, when Kleon returns to Earth and is kidnapped by the Dark Empire Yodonheim for use in Movie Jamen's scheme, only Wiserue is mentioned. Tvicon TV STORY-Mashin Sentai Kiramager vs. Ryusoulger

Personality[]

Pricious is an egotistical backstabbing, power-hungry, and narcissistic person. This, however, is his own weakness as his condescending sadism leaves him short-sighted and lead to his defeat by Koh. Pricious also bares a grudge as he proclaimed vengeance against Koh and the Ryusoulgers out of anger and disgust for his loss (as well as the loss of his Space Dragon). He is also shown to be quite cunning as he was able to deceive Wiserue's scheme to have the Sylph Minosaur take back his heart card. He has no respect and trust for other Druidons, being a bit paranoid that they might turn on him. He traps their hearts in his cards to make sure they won't betray him. He also trapped Wiserue and Gachireus' heart to make them become his minions although he has not done this to the newborn Druidon, like the Gunjoji brothers or Yabasword (until the latter went berserk and attacked him).

After Eras shared her memories, Pricious developed a larger sense of blind faith and, as a result, became more ruthless and persistent in eliminating the Ryusoul Tribe. Prior to his initial "death", he shows a possible change of heart, as when Wiserue offers his hand in friendship to the emotionally damaged Pricious, he reaches out to take it, but is struck by Eras.

Powers and Abilities[]

Powers[]

  • Strength: Pricious is the strongest Druidon general by far, surpassing both Tankjoh and Gachireus in strength as he was able to match and best Max Ryusoul Red's strength.
  • Longevity: Pricious can live for millions of years.
  • Liquid Metal Physiology: Pricious' body is completely made of malleable living metal which granted him superior physical strength and high resilience to most kind of attacks.
    • Teleportation: Pricious can teleport to another location by liquefying his body similarly to Kleon.
    • Regeneration: Due to his physiology, Pricious can also instantly regenerate a severed limb, though if he is attacked faster than he can regenerate, it will leave him vulnerable and weakened.
  • Card Manipulation: Pricious has the ability to create and manipulate cards at will.
    • Card Imprisonment: With his cards, Pricious can create a connection either by a person or an attack through contact with a card. He used this ability to connect two cards to both Wiserue and Gachireus's hearts which can hurt them physically, much like how a Voodoo doll worked. If the person dies, the card will liquify and vanish. As Kleon lacks a physical heart, he is immune to its effects. If the person places their own heart card in contact with them, it can break their connection from the card. If the heart card is destroyed, the person will eventually die.
    • Card Power: By placing a card with an attack on the red, pink, and violet chessboard buckle on his right shoulder strap, Pricious is capable of granting himself the ability to use the attack.
      • Everlasting Claw (エバーラスティングクロー Ebārasutingu Kurō): After Gachireus, wielding a blank card, endured Koh Everlasting Claw attack, the card copied the technique and allowed Pricious to perform its move.
  • Enhanced Durability: Pricious can endure multiple strong blows without showing signs of fatigue.
  • Space Dragon Summoning: Pricious was able to summon the Space Dragon with the snap of his finger.
  • Levitation: Pricious can hover in the air unassisted, allowing him to seamlessly float in the air until he returns to the ground.
  • Energy Beams: Pricious can generate and launch purple energy beams from his hands.
  • Energy Discs: Pricious can generate and throw multiple magenta energy discs based on his shoulder protrusions.

Abilities[]

  • Hand-to-Hand Combat: Pricious was able to match the Ryusoulgers in hand-to-hand combat.

Weaknesses[]

  • Rapid Attacks: If Pricious was attacked in too quick a succession, he was unable to regenerate and was quickly defeated.

Arsenal[]

  • Container: Pricious wielded a bottle-shaped container to contain the Space Dragon.
  • Priciouslasher (プリシャスラッシャー Purishasurasshā): Pricious wielded a knight chess piece-style dual-ended naginata in combat, which he could split into two swords.
    • Energy Slash: With his Priciouslasher, Pricious could unleash purple or magenta energy slashes.
    • Screw Variation: Pricious could fire off a magenta energy screw from his Priciouslasher.
    • Energy Buzz Saws: Pricious could also fire off magenta energy buzz saws from his Priciouslasher.
    • Energy Empowerment: Pricious could slash at his enemies with red energy gathered at the tips of his Priciouslasher in it’s twin sword form.
  • Cards: Pricious wielded blank cards in his possession to trap others' hearts in to force them to obey him.
  • Claws: Even without his weapons, Pricious has razor sharp claws on his fingers to slash his enemies.
    • Claw Extension: Pricious is able to extend the length of his nails at will.
