Character History
Origins

Galza before he betrayed the Kingdom of Crystalia
Originally, Galza was a prince of the Crystalian royal family and a hero of the kingdom. Despite being the second-born, his Kiramental was stronger than Oradin's, which led him to believe he was the worthier candidate for the throne. Episode 4: Princess of the Lost World
When Oradin became king, Galza's resulting jealousy and resentment towards his brother drove him to betray Crystalia. Alongside Carantula, Galza led the invasion of the planet, during which he killed Oradin and had his lifeless body carried away by Bechats. Later, he joined the Dark Empire Yodonheim as he puts on his new helmet and armor and decides to steal the hopes and light from the people of Earth. Mashin Sentai Kiramager: Episode ZERO
Personality
Compared to the benevolent presence held by his brother, Galza's take is more malevolent and self-serving, though his knowledge of Crystalia often helped proceed Yodonheim's plans against the Kiramagers. He is also slightly posh, drawing amusement from Carantula's antics, and serves as a calmer influence compared to his wildness. He is also shown to be quite manipulative, fierce, aggressive, and cruel, as he played on Mabushina's feelings for her father and exploited Takamichi’s ego, plus manipulated him out of his will to help her. Possibly due to his anger and jealousy of Oradin, Galza possesses a childish sense of arrogance, claiming himself superior to the Crystalian ruler in every way. As Juru is essentially Oradin in a human body, Galza heavily despises him. After the first formation of King Express, Galza's hatred for Juru only deepened. He also possesses a hatred of all those he sees as weaklings, claiming them to be his enemies. Because of this, he will violently and brutally kill anyone he considers weak, including Jamenshi.
Family
- King Oradin - Older brother (originally deceased, later revived as Mashin Oradin)

Powers and Abilities
- Imagination Manifestation: Like Juru Atsuta and King Oradin, Galza possesses a strong imagination, which allowed him to transform the Dark Kiramai Stone into Mashin Jouki.
- Armor Manifestation: Galza can manifest his armor from his body and place it on himself with his mind.
- Dark Fire Projection: Galza can shoot out a stream of dark fire from his hand, as seen in his battle with Juru.
- Jamental (ジャメンタル Jamentaru): Uncommon among Crystalians, Galza possesses Jamental, the dark equivalent of Kiramental, which utilizes his anger and rage to increase his power.
- Dark Energy Generation: Through his Jamental, Galza can generate dark energy to empower himself.
- Monster Reviving/Enlarging: Galza revived and enlarged the Jaaku Monstone using his Jamental powers.
- Dark Energy Generation: Through his Jamental, Galza can generate dark energy to empower himself.
- Shockwave Kick: Galza was able to generate a violet shockwave with his kick in his battle with Takamichi.
- Corruption: Galza can corrupt an opponent's heart, and with the help of a Monstone, he can turn them into unwilling puppets of evil. The victims' minds are still intact, but they have no control over their actions. This ability can also brainwash a Mashin, which he demonstrated by hijacking Mashin Hakobu.
- Shadow Absorption: Galza is shown to have the ability to absorb shadow and dark energy.
- Teleportation: Galza can teleport by vanishing in a burst of dark energy.
- Communication: Galza was able to communicate with Yodonna by touching the side of his helmet.
- Telepathy: Galza was able to talk with Emperor Yodon mentally.
Arsenal
- Hook Sword: Galza wields a hook-bladed sword in combat.
- Spark Wave Generation: Galza can draw the tip of his hook sword along the ground in a straight line to generate a large wave of sparks.
- Energy Empowerment: Galza can charge up the blade of his sword with violet and magenta energies to slash at full force.
- Dark Energy Slash: Galza's strongest attack where he channels an immense amount of dark energy into his sword, making it appear much larger than it really is and then unleash a massive energy slash that would cleave down the center of his enemy, immediately killing them. This killed his brother, the Freezer Jamen, and the Reset Button Jamen.
- Darkness Megabeast Mecha Smog Jouki: Galza's personal Mecha born from a Dark Kiramai Stone. It can transform into a steam locomotive-based Mashin, as well as a dinosaur-like form.
- Guitar: Galza wielded a twisted-looking guitar to transmit sound waves through Speaker Jamen. Funnily enough, Galza strongly played it the wrong way, which resulted in a rampant of loud noises. These were fueled by his Jamental powers, making it enough of a noise that even Carantula tried to avoid him.

Behind the Scenes
Portrayal
- Galza is voiced by Yuuichi Nakamura (中村 悠一 Nakamura Yūichi), who previously voiced Beet J. Stag/Stag Buster in Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters. His suit actor is Keizo Yabe (矢部敬三 Yabe Keizo).
Notes
- The name Galza (Garuza in Japanese) comes from the Japanese pronunciation of Útgarða-Loki ("Utogaruza-Loki" in Japanese), also known as Skrýmir, who was the ruler of the castle Útgarð, in Jötunheimr ("Jotunheim" in English) in Norse mythology.
- Galza is similar to Sorcery Priest Meemy from Mahou Sentai Magiranger: both previously worked alongside the heroes' allies, but eventually betrayed them and took a new guise when they became a member of the villain group.
- Galza's teammate, Mask of Darkness Carantula, is voiced by Yasuhiro Takato, who also portrayed Meemy in Magiranger.
- To tie in Galza's relationship with Oradin and Mabushina, he has black crystalline skin, red eyes, and grey clothes instead of white. He does, however, wear white gloves, and his head features gold highlights similar to those of his niece and brother.
