 This article is about a villain in Himitsu Sentai Gorenger.
|
Volcano Mask General Magman (火の山仮面マグマン将軍 Hinoyama Kamen Maguman Shōgun, 42-54), sometimes translated as Fire Mountain Mask, replaced Iron Mask Temujin after his many failures to kill off the Gorengers. He was the leader of the ruthless Eruption Battalion (噴火軍団 Funka Gundan).
History[]
He was recruited from the volcanic Eldgja region in Iceland. He began plans to take out the Gorengers, but his first plans ended up in failure, partially due to the interference of Iron Mask Temujin, who wished to take out the Gorengers himself. This lead to a struggle between the two commanders, but ultimately Iron Mask Temujin was destroyed by the Gorengers and Volcano Mask General Magman was left as the commander for the time.

After the Gorengers accidentally discover the plans for Navarone from a departure site, the Black Cross Fuhrer considered him a failure and went forth in reviving Commander-in-Chief Golden Mask, making Magman decide to rampage and destroy EAGLE before he awoke. The Gorengers ultimately discover through a coffee spill three weak points within Navarone, which they use the three Gorengers Machines to hit, destroying the base. Magman escaped unharmed and took his anger out on the Gorengers in a tough battle. The Gorengers counter by using Gorenger Hurricane to become an egg; Magman mocked them and thought it was ridiculous before placing it on his head to instantly hard-boil it. However when he eats the egg, it explodes, taking him out once and for all. TV STORY-Ep. 54: Crimson Challenge! The Volcano's Last Big Eruption
