History

Early life

Much of Marvelous' early life is unknown, but what is known is, when he was ten years old, he was saved by Space Sheriff Gavan, MOVIE STORY-Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger vs. Uchuu Keiji Gavan: The Movie and after he grew up, he traveled alone as a pirate. Captain Marvelous once fought Kiaido, the strongest bounty hunter in the universe, who nearly killed him, but he intentionally stabbed himself in the chest to create a weak spot in order to make the fight more interesting, ultimately letting Marvelous escape. TV STORY-Ep. 28: Wings are Eternal

One day, while looking through treasure after a run in with the Gormin, Marvelous discovered something of interest: the Ranger Key of Akarenger. AkaRed soon appeared and told Marvelous that he needed it, but Marvelous refused to give him it and attacked him, but was swiftly defeated. AkaRed told him about the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, telling him that he would never get what he wanted if he just gave up, and this speech inspired Marvelous to join AkaRed. TV STORY-Ep. 16: Clash! Sentai vs. Sentai

Red Pirate Gang

Marvelous was part of the Red Pirate Gang with AkaRed along with his robotic parrot, Navi. One notable occasion saw AkaRed save Marvelous from his own impulsiveness before finding the Bouken Red Key. TV STORY-Ep. 21: The Adventurer Heart They would later be joined by Basco ta Jolokia. They searched the universe in the Gokai Galleon to find the Ranger Keys, which contained the powers of the 34 Sentai teams which were dispersed all over the universe, so they could find the Greatest Treasure in the Universe.

They eventually managed to find all the Ranger Keys of the core Sentai teams, but Basco betrayed AkaRed and Marvelous, and revealed that he conspired with Zangyack forces that attacked the ship, wanting the treasure all for himself. AkaRed saved Marvelous from the Zangyack forces and gave him the chest containing the Ranger Keys (though unbeknownst to Marvelous, Basco possessed the Sixth Ranger and Extra Hero Keys), telling him to find the Greatest Treasure in the Universe. AkaRed was last seen charging into dozens of Gormin Sailors. TV STORY-Ep. 15: A Privateer Appears TV STORY-Ep. 2: The Worth of this Planet

The Ranger Keys allowed Marvelous to harness the power of the 34 Super Sentai who once protected the Earth, with the Gokaiger Keys, he started the Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger team, with himself as Gokai Red. Marvelous traveled in the Gokai Galleon in his search. With Navi as the Navigator, Marvelous resumed the search, her hints, though confusing, proved to be of help to him in his continuing efforts to find the greatest treasure in the universe.

Bounty

His bounty was initially at Z=1,000,000 when they met Ahim TV STORY-Ep. 41: Something I Don't Want to Lose and was increased to Z=1,500,000 before reaching Earth, but this is eventually raised to Z=3,000,000. TV STORY-Ep. 5: Judgement Pirates This is then raised even further to Z=5,000,000. TV STORY-Ep. 15: A Privateer Appears After the death of Warz Gill, he now has a "UNLIMITED" reward bounty on his head, meaning if anyone captures Marvelous and hands him over to the Zangyack, the captors can get any kind of reward in return.

Gokai Red (Super Hero Taisen) — Gokai Red

Captain Marvelous betrays the Gokaigers and takes over Zangyack as he assumes the title as their emperor and renames it "Dai-Zangyack" (大ザンギャック, Dai Zangyakku), formed from the remnants of the dissolved Zangyack Empire and the conglomeration of all Super Sentai villains, in order to take down the Kamen Riders to obtain their Great Powers, and the Dai-Shocker group led by Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade. With many revived Super Sentai villains under his command, Captain Marvelous plans to obtain the Greater Power of the Kamen Riders to gain the "Greatest Treasure in the Universe" (宇宙最高のお宝, Uchū Saikō no Otakara). After the timeline was restored, Captain Marvelous turned against Dai-Zangyack, who joins forces with Dai-Shocker to destroy Super Sentai and the Kamen Riders. Upon learning this, the Kamen Riders and the Super Sentai teams all join forces in order to stop their respective enemies once and for all. The Gokaigers teamed up with Decade and defeat General Shadow. Marvelous then teams up with OOO, and leads his team against Bio Hunter Silva, and Kamen Rider OOO changes his medals into Ranger Keys for the Gokaigers to use. The group uses the GokaiGalleon Buster to finish off Silva. Soon after, the Gokai Galleon crew watch Fourze befriend the Go-Busters, the reunions with Eiji and Hina and Tsukasa and Kaito. Marvelous then joins up with his crew and sees that the ultimate treasure is friendship between the Kamen Riders and the Super Sentai teams while accepting OOO's friendship.

Go-Busters vs. Gokaiger

Chicken at Dino Curry — Marvelous is confronted by Hiromu Sakurada while eating chicken curry at the Dino Curry restaurant.

Captain Marvelous and the rest of the Gokaigers went to the Zangyack's homeworld until they were overrun. They had two choices—die or join Zangyack. The Gokaigers choose to join them and returned to Earth in a black Gokai Galleon. The Go-Busters were sent to investigate and end up fighting the Gokaigers. During the fight, Gai comes and finds the Gokaigers and Go-Busters fighting and had no idea what was going on. Marvelous tells Gai to hand the Ranger Keys over and Gai reluctantly gives him the keys. The Gokaigers Gokai Change twice and causes the Go-Busters to use Powered Custom. After the fight, Enter appears with the Phantom Ranger Keys, rare keys with mysterious powers until the keys resonate and create time holes sucking various Gokaigers and Go-Busters to different times.

Captain Marvelous and Hiromu continue to fight as Hiromu lectures Marvelous on joining the Zangyack. Marvelous reveals joining them was part of a plan and that they were only pretending to cooperate. The Gokaigers wait at the Go-Busters' command center until it was fight time. The 11 rangers head to battle with Bacchus Gill. The rangers morph and fight. Waredonaiyer stays up on the black Gokai Galleon. Marvelous and Hiromu jump up there and fought him. Waredonaiyer is pushed off the ship. After a long battle, Bacchus Gill grows to giant size. The rangers summon their mecha. With the gathering of the Phantom Ranger Keys, the keys transform into Megazord Keys, granting each of the rangers' mecha, a past mecha. After the battle, Marvelous tells Hiromu that he admires the Go-Busters' work and trusts them to protect Earth and calls them a true 36th Super Sentai. During the credits, the Gokaigers are seen hanging out at the Go-Busters' command center. MOVIE STORY-Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters vs. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: The Movie

Gokai Red and the rest of the Gokaigers appeared to help Gai and Gavan (Type-G) defeat Ika Devil using their offered Metal Hero Keys. They later fight alongside the other Heroes against Space Shocker. Of the core Gokaigers, only Marvelous speaks, and like all of them, he remains morphed throughout his appearance.

Marvelous returns in Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger along with the other Gokaigers in order to obtain the Whale Change Gun. He is able to steal it from the Zyuohgers and take off into the air as Red Hawk, but is pursued by Yamato Kazakiri/Zyuoh Eagle. TV STORY-Ep. 28: The Space Pirates Return

Yamato is able to knock Marvelous out of the air and the battle continued on the ground, with Marvelous changing into Akarenger to continue the battle. Yamato is able to beat him and the two talk for a bit, with Marvelous telling him the legacy that the Zyuohgers now hold. Marvelous is soon joined by the rest of his team and the other Zyuohgers to battle past villains. Yamato, now Zyuoh Whale, and Marvelous battles Bangray, Escape, and Enter.

Zyuohger vs. Ninninger

All 40 Super Sentais — The first 38 Sentai projected into Wild Tousai Shuriken King.

Gokai Red appeared as part of a conference of the first 38 Reds led by Red Falcon, whom addressed the Ninningers and Zyuohgers as the greater Super Sentai pantheon intervened to save them from defeat at the hands of the titanic Gillmarda. Empowering the Combination Nin Shuriken to form Wild Tousai Shuriken King, the first 38 Super Sentai further imbued their successors with the power to perform the Zyuoh Ninnin Super Sentai Burst, destroying Gillmarda with the combined power of all 40 Super Sentai. MOVIE STORY-Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger vs. Ninninger: Message from the Future from Super Sentai

Chou Super Hero Taisen

An iteration of Gokai Red was summoned from the Game World as part of a team of five of the Strongest Sentai Rangers alongside five of the Strongest Kamen Riders by Kamen Rider Brave, helping to defeat the army of Shocker. TV STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Chou Super Hero Taisen

Super Sentai Strongest Battle

In this special, Marvelous was invited to the Super Sentai Strongest Battle tournament, along with other members of previous Sentai teams. Those included Yamato Kazakiri, Takaharu Igasaki, Stinger, and Kagura Izumi who would later join with Marvelous as the Oddball Team. During the matchups, he witnesses Gaisoulg, an entity that the Gokaigers had encountered earlier when they were defeated by him, which later fueled Marvelous to battle him one-on-one. This led to a dispute between Marvelous and Yamato, who have met in a previous crossover, over trust since he never told his team about Gaisoulg. Later on, as Yamato returns from his second solo battle, he confronts Marvelous and apologizes for not trusting his instincts as a leader.

Marvelous eventually meets Gaisoulg again and manages to gain the upper hand, only to learn that the one donning the armour is not Luka Millfy, the one he is trying to save, but Takaharu. Gaisoulg defeats Gokai Red once again, putting him in critical condition as he is found unconscious by Doggie Kruger.

Thanks to Doggie and Izumi's plan, Gaisoulg is baited to show up, but this time it is Stinger under the armour rather than Takaharu. Marvelous decides to take the chance and put on Gaisoulg's helmet himself to find Luka and Takaharu. He barely gained enough self-control to force the helmet to take him where Luka and Takaharu are imprisoned. Luka blasted the helmet out of his head after being saved. Here, Marvelous also learns that the tournament is only a plot by Rita to revive Dai-Satan and destroy the galaxy.

Using Gold Mode, Gokai Red, alongside his Oddball teammates, manages to destroy Dai-Satan and thwart Rita's plan. TV STORY-4 Week Continuous Special Super Sentai Strongest Battle!!

Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger The Movie: Red Battle! All Sentai Rally!!

Marvelous alongside with his Sentai Red Ranger predecessors appeared to help the Zenkaigers. MOVIE STORY-Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger The Movie: Red Battle! All Sentai Rally!!

Zenkaiger

Zocks Goldtsuiker's outfit is shown to have been "pirated" from Marvelous and his team, with the visor and mouth section of the helmet particularly resembling Gokai Red.

A manifestation of Gokai Red was summoned alongside his team by Zenkaizer through the Gokaiger Sentai Gear which allowed the Zenkaigers to swap their weapons in order to fight Shougatsu World and an army of Kudakks. TV STORY-No. 39-kai! Infinite Happy Birthdays!

Saber + Zenkaiger: Superhero Senki

Though he was seemingly erased alongside his team as a result of Asmodeus’ manipulations, he and, presumably, his corresponding team were restored back into existence once Touma Kamiyama had helped Shotaro regained his passion in drawing out the superheroes that he wants to draw out.

During the climatic final battle itself, he can be seen fighting alongside Kamen Rider Zi-O.

Ten Gokaiger

Some time after the events of the main series, Marvelous and the Gokaigers came to blows with the Bakut Pirates, who defeated his crew and destroyed the Gokai Galleon. Suspecting that Bakut was targeting the Earth and its Super Sentai teams next, Marvelous returned to the planet to investigate.

On Earth, Marvelous learned that all Ranger Keys of the Super Sentai teams (except those of the Gokaigers) had been collected by the Ministry of Defence with Gai Ikari's help. He witnessed Ranger Key clones fight one another as a form of gambling sport called "Super Sentai Derby Colosseum".

Acting like a bounty hunter, Luka Millfy tied Marvelous up and handed him to the Ministry. The people there challenged him to participate in the Derby and defeat 100 Ranger Key clones in a row, promising to give him all the Ranger Keys should he succeed. After winning the 99th battle, an exhausted Marvelous had to fight Gai, as the latter believed the former was trying to take away Earth's last line of defense. Due to foul play from the Ministry's people, Marvelous lost the battle but he was saved and escorted from the arena by Ahim de Famille before his Ranger Key could be taken away.

The Ministry sent more Ranger Key clones after Marvelous and Ahim, but they eventually defeated the clones once Gai arrived to give them Ranger Keys of their successors. Marvelous revealed to Gai that he only joined the Derby to confirm the involvement of the Bakut Pirates, who had allied themselves with the Ministry of Defence and taken advantage of Gai. They planned to build an army of Ranger Key clones, using it to conquer the galaxy. The pirate captain also met Masatoshi Niwano again, asking him to rediscover the worth of Earth.

After Luka exposed Bakut's schemes to the public, all 6 Gokaigers came to settle the score. With the power of the Gokai Galleon Armor, Marvelous used his new form to destroy the Bakut Pirates and put an end to their desire. Once the battle was finished, Marvelous was reunited with Navi, who had been left on Earth the last time the Gokaigers went there.

The next day, Marvelous and his crew ate curry rice as they discussed returning Ranger Keys to the original owners. MOVIE STORY-Kaizoku Sentai: Ten Gokaiger

Zenkaiger vs. Kiramager vs. Senpaiger

Marvelous fought Zocks Goldtsuiker briefly to a stalemate, since he believed the latter was withholding treasure from him.

Later, Gokai Red and Lupin Red led a team of Red Sentai warriors to aid the Zenkaigers and Kiramagers in their final battle against Tojitendo's minions. MOVIE STORY-Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger vs. Kiramager vs. Senpaiger

Personality

Always sparkling, Captain Marvelous is a "wild man." He desires everything to be stimulating, and he is always curious. Once he sets his aims on a target, he moves forward without flinching, no matter what. Marvelous is the type to poke his head in where it does not belong, and he often brandishes his crew with unreasonable orders.

Though he is the team leader, Captain Marvelous is an unpredictable sort of character who does reckless things to satisfy his curiosity, stating his actions as what any pirate would do in that particular moment. He is much stronger than he looks, evidently seen in episode 7 where he throws darts while wearing a heavy bracelet that Don can barely carry with both hands. His strength is also displayed in a flashback in episode 12, where he rips the Zangyack tracking collar off Joe's neck.

He also has a rather hearty appetite.

Marvelous is also someone who cares much for his crew and for others even if he doesn't show it. An example of this was when Basco captured his crew and he was having a hard time deciding what to do. Another example is when Gai asked to become a Gokaiger after his debut battle and Marvelous asked him what he would contribute to his crew. Despite this selfish reasoning, he was concerned with someone so young taking on the Zangyack. However, he does believe in his crew and doesn't worry about them when they are in a bind of their own and shows to have much faith in them. Although he originally strove to protect them at all costs and ejected them from Go-Jyu Gokai-Oh to that end, after a vision of AkaRed he instead shares Gai's desire to have them all fight together until the end.

His morality however is described at best as a puzzle. He is definitely a better person than Basco by far.
