Ferocious Knight D (獰猛の戦騎D Dōmō no Senki Dī) was the main antagonist of the Kyoryuger Summer Movie, Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger: Gaburincho of Music. He was a powerful Debo Knight who forced Zyudenryu Tobaspino to forge a partnership with him and became Deathryuger (デスリュウジャー Desuryūjā).
History[]
Past[]
D was one of the Deboth Army's first Knights, having fought against Torin and the Zyudenryu in the past. He attempted to control Zyudenryu Tobaspino to wipe out the rest of the dinosaurs by driving it insane but a mysterious woman rose up and quelled Tobaspino's rampage and blood-lust. Tobaspino then defeated D with a stomp as both fell into a deep slumber.
Kyoryuger[]
D was reawakened in the present by Hundred-Faced High Priest Chaos and given fake Kyoryuger powers with the Deathryuger Zyudenchi and now seeking revenge and plotted to wipe out all life on Earth. He appeared in the forest and kidnapped singer Mikoto Amano, the descendant of the woman who originally defeated him. Deathryuger's goal was to use Meeko's voice and the secret legendary Zyudenchi, #00, to take control of Tobaspino once again while cutting his ties to the Deboth Army. To do this, he enlisted the aid of sisters Lamunea and Ashy and used Meeko to control Tobaspino which took control of Ankydon and Bunpachy to form SpinoDai-Oh. The Kyoryugers fought D and his army in the quarry with D gaining the upper-hand against Daigo but his army was destroyed and he was defeated by the Zyuden Brave Finish. Enraged, Ferocious Knight D retreated into SpinoDai-Oh which overwhelmed Raiden Kyoryuzin until they impale it with the Raiden Brave Finish which allowed Daigo to enter the mecha and confront D. D had the initial upper-hand until Mikoto started singing which weakened him enough to get him knocked out of the formation although he took Daigo with him. As he fell to his death, Ferocious Knight D took solace in knowing that Mikoto will die with him only to be obliterated by Daigo's Gabutyra Fang Gabutyra Rock-Busting Punch and Mikoto was later saved as well.

Although unseen, Ferocious Knight D was resurrected among the various Debo Monsters by Demon Sword Priest Mad Torin in his attempt to overwhelm the world with past Debo Monsters. Although Mad Torin and many of the Debo Monsters participated in the plan and were killed, D did not participated in the attack and instead went into hiding. TV STORY-Brave 36: Giga Gaburincho! The Silver Miracle
D eventually returned albeit without his Deathryuger powers, having lost them when Tobaspino broke free from his control, but was filled with newly increased powers he gained from the Darkness of the Land and rearmed with the War Spear-Sword and once more wearing the AceCape. He found himself needing drinks of Restoration Water to keep himself in check. D has also escaped from the Darkness of the Land and orchestrated a scheme to use the now brainwashed Mikoto's singing voice to raise an army of the dead to conquer the world. When the Kyoryugers foiled his plans, destroying his enemies and defeating him with the Ten Zyuden Victory Maximum Finish, D enlarged himself with his remaining Restoration Water to destroy the world. Despite this, D was hindered by Mikoto's singing as Spinodai-Oh easily destroyed him with it's SpinoDai-Oh Brave Finish. He complained about being forced to hear Meeko singing in even his final moments before exploding, finally killing Ferocious Knight D once and for all. TV STORY-Brave 39: Full Array!

Ranger Key[]
The Deathryuger Ranger Key (デスリュウジャーレンジャーキー Desuryūjā Renjā Kī) is a Kyoryuger Ranger Key released as part of a set Deboth Ranger Keys in a Bandai Premium set.
Notes[]
- D is the first Spinosaurus-themed Ranger.
- His Deathryuger suit was later be reused Dai-kun for Kyoryu Navy with some difference, most notably the color and mask design being changed to remove the red and yellow highlights from around the visor.
- Following the face theme of the Deboth Army, D represented feral facial expressions.
- D and Candelilla were the only Deboth Knights whose costume were not repurposed as one of the generals of the Neo Deboth Army in Power Rangers Dino Force Brave.
- D's costume was combined with the head of Zero Spear, Bat Zhe Rumba to create an unidentified Gangler Monster seen in Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger Number 1: The Troublemaking Phantom Thieves.
- An adaptation of Deathryuger or Kyoryu Navy for Dino Charge was believed by fans to be in the works through the insertion of the #00 Dino Charger into the DX Dino Charge Morpher which resulted in a sound for a "Talon Ranger" However, Yoshi Sudarso later stated in an interview that "Talon" was actually the original production name for Zenowing (which was later changed due to unknown circumstances) and that Deathryuger was never being considered for Dino Charge at all.[2][3]
- In 2018 during a Boom! Studios panel at Power Morphicon, Ryan Carter revealed that the suit would appear in the comics under the name Dark Ranger, whom Heckyl debuts as in Issue 31 of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Boom! Studios) series following the final episode. Carter would later reprise his role in Power Rangers Cosmic Fury and make his live-action debut as the Dark Ranger, though his helmet is actually of Kyoryu Navy's instead as the streak on the edges of the visor is gray, not red. Bennett stated that this was the helmet Toei had supplied along with the suit, with no reason given as to why the helmet was sourced from a different Ranger.[4]
