Icon-gokaigerThis article is about a villain group in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.

The Space Empire Zangyack (宇宙帝国ザンギャック Uchū Teikoku Zangyakku) was a powerful interstellar empire that battled the Gokaigers in order to invade and conquer the Earth and the entire universe. It has been claimed several times that Zangyack rules the universe, suggesting that its task is almost complete, with only the Gokaigers in their way. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 18: The Big Abare with the Dinosaur Robot Drill

Overview[]

Zangyack's forces are a race of aliens who conquered various planets and planned to invade Earth for their emperor, Ackdos Gill. The first invasion failed due to the interference of 34 Super Sentai teams in the Great Legend War. The second, current, invasion was overseen by the emperor's son Warz Gill from his chariot-like flagship Gigant Horse, stationed between Earth and its moon, with an armada at his command.

History[]

It is mentioned that among the planets that fell victim to the Zangyack is the homeworlds of all the five main Gokaigers. Ahim de Famille's homeworld Famille is the only one shown and named. Joe Gibken was also a member before he rebelled after being imprisoned for treason.

The currency of the Zangyack Empire is the Zagin (Z=), which is how the bounties on the Gokaigers are measured. The exchange rate from the Zagin to the yen is Z=1 to ¥360, or about $3.35. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 34: Dream Comes True

Following Warz's death, the Zangyack Empire made the capture and execution of the Gokaigers their top priority to the point of giving Captain Marvelous an "Unlimited Reward" bounty. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 39: Why? We're High School Students They were perceived a threat great enough for the emperor himself to come and oversee the invasion personally.

A month after Ackdos Gill's death, as well as the destruction of the majority of their military forces, which had been mobilized to Earth for the final invasion of Earth to exterminate all Earthlings, the Zangyack Empire begins to dissolve with its universal reign coming to an end.

Later history[]

Super Hero Taisen[]

During the events of Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen, Captain Marvelous, with the help of Rider Hunter Silva, rebuilds the Space Empire Zangyack into Dai-Zangyack and becomes their Great Emperor in order to take down the Kamen Riders and the Dai-Shocker group led by Tsukasa Kadoya. This particular version of the empire not only included members of the original incarnation of the empire itself but it had also included a huge number of villains that had been previously defeated by any and all of the 34 Sentai teams that had came before the Gokaigers along with also utilizing a rebuilt Gigant Horse as its' main base.

Although apparently victorious in eliminating the Kamen Riders, Marvelous was infiltrating them to stop their own plans, resulting in the survival of all Super Sentai and Riders. Meanwhile various members of the organization itself were actually working alongside Dai-Shocker, resulting in Silva taking control of the organization to wipe out both the Super Sentai and the Kamen Riders together while allying themselves with Dai-Shocker. This version of the empire was destroyed alongside its chief commanders by the combined forces of the Super Sentai and Kamen Rider army. Tvicon TV STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen
