 This article is about a monster in No.1 Sentai Gozyuger.
|
Demon No.1 (鬼ノーワン Oni No Wan) is a demon-themed No.1 Monster from the No One World Bridan, created from Luna, Gaia Todoroki's late fiancé, out of her desire to live forever and was turned into the Onigokko No.1 by Bouquet as part of a special experiment by Queen TegaJune.
History
When Gaia went to search for Luna, he found Luna dying when the Demon No.1 appeared and tried to possess Luna. However, because Luna died at the exact moment when Demon No.1 possessed her, it interrupted his generation process and resulted in him becoming an abnormality full of resentment and hate. To get control over Demon No.1, Bouquet let Onigokko No.1 absorb him to stabilize him.

Right after Onigokko No.1's defeat, Demon No.1 emerges out of said monster to make his presences known to the Gozyugers and Gaia. Gaia then notices something from the newly formed monster, which is a singular horn and finally announces that this is the One Horned Beast he's been looking for as the Beast looked upon Gaia. Gaia then angrily charges at the beast, demanding the monster to return Luna to him TV STORY-Ep. 11: Unleash the Wild! The Beastmaster Plays His Flute
Gaia starts attacking him fiercely, but the demonic No.1 throws him away, detransforming and injuring him. Demon No.1's exposed ribcage opens, revealing the face of Luna, who now has yellow eyes and an angry expression and says she hates Gaia and will have her revenge on him, shocking him and the Gozyugers. Demon No.1 sends an attack from his crescent blade, which the Gozyugers block, before making his retreat, as Gaia collapses from his injuries.
Later, Demon No.1 continues attacking people in a berserker rage. The Gozyugers minus Rikuo appears to fight him, but Kuon, accompanied by an army of Combatant Aryee, interrupts them, expressing his wonder at what the dead's wish is. Sumino is saddened at seeing Demon No.1, and Ryugi tells Kuon this is no time for a Number One Battle, but Kuon says that TegaJune sent him to capture Demon No.1 before transforming into Garyudo. Right after he does, Gaia arrives while playing his ocarina, swearing to save Luna at any cost, and transforms into Gao Red while fighting Demon No.1. The Gozyugers, now joined by Rikuo, transform while fighting Kuon and the Aryee.
Gao Red fights Demon No.1, but is unable to lend any hit on him. Meanwhile, Rikuo, Ryugi, Kinjiro and Sumino face the Aryee while Hoeru faces his brother, summoning WolfDeCalibur 50 while Kuon powers up his TegaJune. Gaia is losing to Demon No.1, to the Gozyugers' worry, as Ryugi realizes that he's willing to die with him. Demon No.1 reveals Luna's face, which causes Rikuo to briefly stop fighting until he hides it again. Gaia charges at the No.1, not caring for what would happen to him, and suddenly finds himself embracing Luna. Unfortunately, his zombified fiancée pushes him back and detransforms him, before Demon No.1 enlarges himself, and ability that Kuon notes is unique. Demon No.1 prepares to attack Gaia with its large cresent blade, but Rikuo appears in TegaSword Blue and shoots a barrage of bullet at him. Rikuo then stands on TegaSword's palm and starts singing Hibiki No Shirabe. When Gaia asks him why, he tells him he heard Luna singing it when Demon No.1 revealed her face, and realized that it's the way to free her from Demon No.1's control. He asks Gaia to join him with his ocarina, and Gaia agrees.
Rikuo continues singing the song while Gaia accompanies him with the ocarina. Gaia and Luna find themselves confronting each other once again before transforming into Gao Red and Demon No.1 respectively. The song also causes GaoKing to revive and appear in the battlefield! He agrees to help Gaia out, and the two mecha, with Rikuo and Gaia piloting them, start fighting Demon No.1.
Kuon calls the song childish, but Hoeru says hiss taste in music must've changed. He tells Rikuo that he likes the song and lends him the WolfDeCalibur 50, which is enlarged and combined with TegaSword Blue to form TegaSword Blue DekaClaw. Rikuo uses the DekaClaw to tear an hole in Demon No.1, and Gaia jumps in it to save Luna.
Gaia, now in a cloudy area devoid of darkness, finds Luna free from Demon No.1's control and hugs her. Before he can tell her that he wants to die with him, she asks him to live. She says that she'll find Gaia even when she's reborn, and starts disappearing. Gaia says that he'll also find her out when reborn, and that their eternal love will never die. They'll always sing Hibiki No Shirabe together. After Luna disappears, Gaia returns to GaoKing's cockpit, and together with Rikuo, they perform a finisher - TegaSword Star Lion Duet - and destroy Demon No.1 as Hibiki No Shirabe, sung by Luna, plays in the background.

Personality

Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Possession: Like all No.1 Monsters, Demon No.1 can possess a human, and materialize in the human world through their deepest desires. Unlike other No.1s, Demon No.1 was able to corrupt Luna into hating Gaia.
- Hatred Empowerment: Due to Onigokko No.1 being used to restrain Demon No.1, the former malice ended up corrupting Demon No.1 Host, Luna. As a result, Luna's misguided rage and hatred towards Gaia ended up empowering Demon No.1 even further.
Abilities
- Blaze Generation: Even without using its Crescent Sword, Demon No.1 can produce multiple Fireballs that could destroy anything.
- Size Alteration: Through a dark aura, Demon No.1 can grow to a giant size at will. Kuon deemed this particular ability as an unique case from another No.1 Monsters.
Weaknesses
- Hibiki No Shirabe song: Due to Demon No.1's host Luna being well versed on singing this song, anyone who can play this particular song (either by vocal or by musical arrangement) can partially bring over Luna's consciousness, rendering Demon No.1 briefly immobilized.
- Unstable Possession: According to Bouquet, Demon No.1 is deemed as an irregular amongst the other No One Monsters due to possessing the dying Luna as its host, prompting Bouquet to restrain this monster with Onigokko No.1. As a result, Demon No.1 demonstrates a berserker-like tendency, with it destroying anything and anyone it sees.
Arsenal
- Crescent Sword (三日月刀 Mikazuki Gatana): Demon No.1 wields a crescent blade in combat.
- Flame Slashes: With his Crescent Sword, Demon No.1 can generate flaming violet slashes at his enemies.
Profile
- Secret technique: Crescent Sword
- Generated words: Demon, One-Horn, Crescent Moon, Human
