Amigard (アミガルド Amigarudo, 4) was a viking beserker themed Player.
History[]
Amigard is the first of Quval's Players to be sent to Earth although he was the third Player deployed overall in actuality (after Halbergoi and Bowguns) due to Quval's nature of taking insanely long to plot). His Blood Game (which he dubs the Battle Show) is to kidnap two people that are close to each other and force them to fight. The loser is ejected into space, causing the winner to feel regret which would entertain Ginis and allow Quval to win the competition between him and Azald. Amigard is first seen at night by Tokyo's Sumida River capturing two buskers, two women taking a selfie and two friends bonding. The next morning, Amigard and some Moebas initiate the Battle Show and keep the victims from escaping using forcefield projectors that fry any wannabe escapists. One man tries this as Amigard introduces the stakes of his game and gets thrown back in immediately before being forced to fight his friend who quickly gains the upper-hand and knocks out his friend. As the winner is led out of the ring by a Moeba, Amigard transforms Yuuji into a barrel to continue his plans but Sela, Leo and Amu (having been on a shopping spree nearby) have been alerted to the Deathgalien presence by thier Zyuman instincts and henshin. Amigard sends in his Moebas but Leo gets through the swarm and takes on the Player as Amu and Sela fight his henchmen before freeing his prisoners. However, Amigard defeats Leo and tries to restrain Amu with a net only for Leo and Sela to be captured instead and Amu to be forced into retreat by the Moebas. Satisfied with his haul, Amigard leaves the Moebas to thier fates and teleports himself and the two captives away. Much later, Sela and Leo awaken in a boxing ring with Amigard in the audience having taken thier Zyuoh Changers. When they try and fail to escape the ring due to a forcefield, Amigard reveals his stakes as usual which Leo accepts and AMigard begins the fight but Sela soon talks reason into Leo who is still bitter about his defeat in a past karate tournament. Annoyed, Amigard fries them and threatens to transform both of them into barrels if they refuse to fight and they fight earnestly this time with the fight coming to a draw (though Sela having drawn blood).
Fortunately, before they can knock each other out, Amu returns with Yamato and Tusk (the two having remained behind at the Atelier Mori or the shopping spree and thus having not been in the earlier fight) and get thier comrades to stop fighting. The three henshin and cut down the Moebas before Amu and Tusk use thier Zyuoh Busters Gun Mode to destroy the forcefield generator and ring before Yamato tries and fails to hit Amigard with his EagRiser though it allows him to retrieve the two Zyuoh Changers. As it turns out, Tusk tracked Leo's scent there via a sock and the team regroups with the two former captives morphing as the team do thier roll call. Amigard is unimpressed and summons more Moebas which effectively makes himself a member of the Battle Show. Taking the fight outside, Sela and Leo fight Amigard as the other Zyuohgers decimate the Moebas. Getting nowhere with his bare hands, Amigard pulls out his axe and fires off energy slashes at Leo and Sela but they dodge all of the shots and Amigard then tries fighting them directly. Seemingly getting an edge on Leo, Amigard tries to bisect him but he blocks the axe mid-swing and throws it up before delivering a devastating energy slash to the Player and then mauliung him. Picking Amigard clean up off the ground, Leo leaves him open enough for Sela to enter her Instinct Awakened form and wipe him out with a devastating spin attack when Leo tosses Amigard into the air. Down and critically injured, Amu, Tusk and Yamato perform the Zyuoh Shoot before Sela and Leo perform the Zyuoh Slash which obliterates Amigard.
However, Quval insists that Amigard has a second chance and tells Naria to enlarge Amigard and she obeys. She teleports down and enlarges Amigard by placing a Continue Medal on his corpse, enlarging the Player who thanks her as he bursts through a rooftop. The Zyuohgers summon thier Zyuoh Cubes and form Zyuoh King. Amigard is happy to see another potential player in his Battle Show and quickly delivers a swift beating to Zyuoh King. Even when Cube Elephant and Cube Tiger try to intervene, he just blocks thier attacks with his axe and blasts them to a standstill. With the Cubes disabled, he nets them up and they are forced into thier Cube forms but Yamato summons Cube Kirin which absorbs the net and sets the Cubes free. They then form ZyuohKing Kirin Bazooka and finish off Amigard with the Zyuoh Shot, the Player only having time to complain about how easy it is to watch instead of fight before face-planting and exploding.

Amigard is later "revived" and enlarged alongside Trumpus by Bangray after scanning Sela's memory of him but both of them are easily destroyed by Wild Tousai King. TV STORY-Ep. 24: Revived Memory
Another giant copy of Amigard was created by Bangray from Quval's memory along with Trumpus and Illusion in an attempt for the Zyuohgers to summon Cube Whale, only for them to be destroyed by Wild Tousai King's Zyuoh Direct Straight. TV STORY-Ep. 34: Megabeast Hunter Strikes Back
Another copy of Amigard was created along with an army of other players from Naria's memories by Quval; who now has Bangray's abilites in an attempt to destroy Ginis for revenge of his planet's destruction, only for Amigard and the other cloned players to be destroyed by Ginis who used Gift's memory core of Cube Whale's data to power up.

Personality[]
Amigard was a brutal and sadistic warrior obsessed with causing as much pain and misery as possible. He also proved to be a massive stickler to his own rules, happy to make any pair who refuses to fight automatic losers.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Strength: Amigard was able to knock Leo flat with a single slash and later slashes took down a single Zyuohger with every hit. When giant, he was easily able to haul around the captured Cube Elephant and Cube Tiger in one of his nets.
- Durability: Amigard quickly recovered from a devastating double energy slash across his stomach from Leo and showed little reaction to the Zyuohger then mauling him.
- Lightning Bolt: Amigard could shoot a purple lightning bolt from his forehead capable of stopping both Cube Tiger and Cube Elephant in their tracks.
- Teleportation: Amigard was able to teleport himself and others to any location at will by surrounding them all with green sparkling energy and then engulfing themselves with the Deathgalien symbol.
Abilities[]
- Weapon Combat: Amigard was an excellent fighter with his axe, easily combating and knocking down Leo as well as Zyuoh King.
- Agility: Amigard was fast enough to dodge a lunge from Yamato's EagRiser though it did knock Leo and Sela's Zyuoh Changers from his hands.
- Moeba Summoning: Unlike the preceding Players, Amigard was able to summon Moebas without the use of a Moeba Coin.

Arsenal[]
- Fightomahawk (ファイトマホーク Faitomahoku): Amigard wielded a massive golden axe to hack and slash his enemies.
- Energy Blasts-Amigard's Fightomahawk could shoot out energy blasts in the shape of his own axe to blast his enemies. How damaging these were is unclear since all of them were dodges.
- Barrel Transformation: Amigard could make the very top of his axe flash to transform the losers of his fights into barrels.
- Energy Absorption: Amigard could turn his axe sideways and hold it out to harmlessly absorb energy attacks as seen with Cubes Tiger and Elephant.
