- "Having you as my son...Yossha...Lucky."
- ―Aslan’s last word using his son’s catchphrase during his noble sacrifice[src]
Aslan (アスラン Asuran) was the king of the planet Kaien in the Shishi System who was murdered by a Vice Shogun named Kukuruga and also the father of the prince Lucky, who would later succeed him.
It is revealed that he is somehow still alive but had fallen under the control of Don Armage until Lucky freed him. Yet, Aslan decides to sacrifice his life for his son to take care of the former’s throne and saving the universe.
History[]
As King[]
He was first remembered in a flashback by Lucky where he gave his son a companion known as Caesar. When his son was still a boy, however, Kaien would come under attack by Kukuruga of the Space Shogunate Jark Matter. Though Aslan saw to it that Lucky was saved and raised on the planet Luth in the Kojishi System by his servant, Aslan and his wife were separated from Lucky.

Impostor[]
Years later, when Lucky returned to Luth after searching for his parents, he was informed by his guardian that Aslan, though still alive, had submitted to Jark Matter and was oppressing his people. It later became apparent that the real Aslan had been murdered by Kukuruga during the invasion of Kaien, and replaced by an impostor by a Jark Matter Karo named Jumotsu. This impostor was exposed and eliminated by the Kyurangers, and the crown of Kaien was left to Lucky. TV STORY-Space.37: Lucky, Seen Again With His Father
Return and Noble Sacrifice[]
However, it is revealed that his death was fake and still alive but turned into Don Armage's puppet in an armored form until briefly freed by his son when his mask was destroyed, warning Lucky to flee for his own safety. However, it is only temporary as Don Armage re-possessed him once again. TV STORY-Space.41: Rushing! Planet Southern Cross
As the Kyurangers devised their plan to use the Black Hole Kyutama in the Black Hole Generator to pull the Platnetium Bomb into nothingness, Aslan, turned into Don Armage's puppet, battled his son for the last time. As he was about to kill his son, Lucky’s Shishi Kyutama glowed with power, distracting Aslan and giving Lucky an opportunity to destroy the mask and finally free Aslan from Don Armage’s possession. Aslan later aided the Kyurangers and his son to finish Don Armage and the cyborg Madakko. When Armage attempted to murder Aslan, the freed Kaien king managed to dodge the shogun’s attacks, yet unknowingly causing the shot to hit the Black Hole Generator instead, deactivating it. As Balance informs his allies that re-activating the Black Hole Kyutama requires someone to stay behind and activate the generator manually, Aslan decided to finish the job in place of his son. Before his noble sacrifice, Aslan tells Lucky that it is his job as a father to ensure his son’s survival, bidding his son a final farewell with one last hug.
