- ―Fire Candle's introduction in his first No.1 Battle against Hoeru Tono.[src]
Fire Candle (ファイヤキャンドル Faiya Kyandoru), also known as the Unbeatable Fire Candle (不敗のファイヤキャンドル Fuhai no Faiya Kyandoru), is the special attack force leader of the No One World Buraidan in No.1 Sentai Gozyuger. He also has a rivalry with Hoeru Tono.
History[]
In the Buraidan castle, the Buraidan executive Fire Candle walks to the Super Robot hangar, knocking on an Combatant Aryee's helmet on his way, and boards the newly built robot, King Candelor. He's contacted by another Buraidan member, Bouquet, who asks from him to gather the Sentai Rings before Tega Sword awakens, but asks from him to avoid making commotion. Fire Candle just laughs before travelling to the human world.
King Candelor appears out of a portal that spawns in a Ferris wheel. Fire Candle seems to recognize this world and begins to attack using King Candelor, while Combatant Aryee are spawned from various portals. Fire Candle says to the people that he came to make sure that the human world turns alright, but struggles to find the right word to describe himself. He then remembers and calls himself the Number One Savior. Witnessing the chaos, Natsume realizes that now its his time and picks up the King-Ohger Sentai Ring out of his guitar case. To Hoeru's surprise, he inserts it into a silver-colored Tega Sword and transforms into Kuwagata Ohger. Natsume then begins fighting the Combatant Aryee and destroys them with a finisher. Fire Candle is angry at him for destroying the Combatant Aryee and begins using King Candelor to attack him. Hoeru recklessly rushes to the mecha and is attacked, but is suddenly transported into a wormhole as he hears the mysterious voice calling "Number One" once again.
Hoeru later returns to Earth after signing a Ring Contract with the Tega Sword, which grants him the power of GozyuWolf. With a loud howl, he pushes King Candelor back, forms Tega Sword Robo Red in a black void, and with their roll call complete, the first No.1 Battle begins. The two mechas engage in a battle. Tega Sword Red can swiftly strike at King Candelor, and when a specific strike from the Candeluxe Sword is blocked, it follows up with a Palm Crush, staggering King Candelor and disarming it of its sword. Undeterred, Fire Candle activates the mecha's flamethrowers, but Tega Sword Red dodges them using the Sole Boosters and transforms into its Giant God Tega Sword mode, knocking King Candelor into a building. Heavily damaged, King Candelor is then finished off by the Tega Sword: Outlaw Breaker with Fire Candle escaping through a portal in the mech’s cockpit screaming in disbelief, Hoeru takes care off Fire Candle’s remaining Ayees and wins the first No.1 Battle.

Personality[]
Fire Candle is hot-headed and both figuratively and literally fiery. He generally engages on his missions with excessive force, recklessness, and penchant for violence. Despite his destructive and pyromaniacal tendencies, he takes offense when being referred to as evil, rejecting the accusations and proclaiming himself a "savior".
Fire Candle speaks and behaves like a delinquent, engaging in loud and aggressive mannerisms, and is very vindictive, as he intended to incinerate people as retribution for his subordinates' own beating. He is shown to not be very bright as it can take him some time to formulate his thoughts. On a brighter note, Fire Candle is shown to be quite amicable with his allies in Buraidan, even becoming best friend with one of the Golden Combatant Aryee, Cassios Beia.
Fire Candle is very proud of his strength in combat, proclaiming himself the strongest or otherwise screaming in disbelief when defeated.
