Ah, the Vengeful Goddess (あァ復讐の女神 Aa Fukushū no Megami) is the tenth episode of Gosei Sentai Dairanger. It is the second episode involving the Peacock Buddha Kujaku and introduces her rivalry with Lieutenant Colonel Gara.
Synopsis[]
Kujaku's peaceful ways become inflamed when she decides to pursue Gara for her six-thousand years of grief, troubling Daigo.
Plot[]
After she is freed from Mirror Make-Up Artist, Kujaku hangs out with the Dairangers at an aviary. She takes great pleasure in feeding the birds alongside Daigo as the Dairangers watch, with Rin commenting on her kindness and Shoji teasing that Kujaku is way out of Daigo's league. Daigo questions how Kujaku was captured by Mirror Make-Up Artist. In a flashback, she reveals that 6000 years ago, she showed Gara mercy and aided her, but she tricked her and caused her to be trapped in Mirror Make-Up Artist's mirror. After she tells the story, birds flutter and Kujaku throws a knife at a tree, revealing Gara laughing at her. Kujaku attacks, and Daigo tries to stop he, as she is actively endangering them all. Kujaku turns her blades towards Daigo, knocking him down, crying that he does not understand her anger. Gara disappears and Kujaku chases after her. The Dairangers are upset with Kujaku and call her mean for knocking over Daigo, but Daigo still believes she's wonderful.
Elsewhere at a park, the petals of a sakura tree causes a group of people to run berserk and attack each other. The tree transforms into Sakura Viscount, who gloats that humans are easy prey.
At his pet shop, Daigo worries about Kujaku when he was contacted by the other Dairangers, dealing with a case of people turning violent and rampaging through the city.
Daigo arrives and tries to stop them. He realizes and tells the other Dairangers that the civilians are under the control of the Gorma, and asks them not to hurt them, but Kazu isn't sure that's possible. Shoji punches a man in the face anyways. Kujaku watches from afar and catches a cherry blossom petal. She realizes what is happening (Sakura Viscount's influence), and throws peacock feathers at them, causing the civilians to fall over. Daigo pleads her to stop, taking a peacock feather in his side, and runs to her. Kujaku states that compassion will lead to defeat and she must seek revenge against Gara, before teleporting away.
At headquarters, the team are healing up (Kazu primping his face while Rin helps Ryo) and discussing about Kujaku's actions. Kaku reflects that her personality is being corrupted by what happened 6000 years ago. Rin states that Kujaku's actions are unforgivable, while Ryo simply says they should find the Gorma. They leave to do so, but Kaku decides to tell Daigo that while Kujaku has a point in saying compassion is a weakness, having compassion is what makes a true warrior. He leaves Daigo to contemplate and train self-discipline.
Later, Kujaku finds Sakura Viscount, possessing immunity to his powers. She asks where Gara is. Gara then appears, and challenges Kujaku. Kaku senses a devastating amount of power within the two of them and thus dispatches the Dairangers. They fight, using Yo-Power and blade against Qi-Power and knives. After clashing blades, Kujaku uses Qi to toss a bench at Gara, who responds with a flame laser. Kujaku uses her Peacock Fan Attack. The Dairangers arrive, but are forced to watch the two battle and destroy their surroundings. As Sakura Viscount watches with delight about how other beings fight and destroy each other, the Dairangers challenge the Gorma. They transform, with Shishiranger leading the charge, and face a group of Cotpotoros as well as Sakura Viscount. However, Sakura Viscount keeps the Dairangers distracted with a flurry of cherry blossoms, even managing to take Shishiranger's sasumata. Shishiranger eventually defeats the Gorma with his Lion Fist Empty Innocence attack and Dairen Rod Peacock Cut.
Sakura Viscount uses a Growth Bomb to grow giant, and the Dairangers form Dairen'Oh to battle. Dairen'Oh ignores Sakura Viscount's petal flurries. In a single sword strike, Dairen'Oh destroys the Gorma.
Later, Daigo visits the museum. At the icon of the Peacock Buddha, he brandishes Kujaku's feather and wonders where she is. He sees a vision of her injured and struggling, and she promises they will meet again. Daigo pleads with her to return to her gentle, merciful self once more.
