Glodi Leucodium (グローディ・ロイコディウム Gurōdi Roikodiumu) was a green-banded broodsac-themed necromancer and the final member of the Uchu Five Jesters. He is held responsible for the Wrath of God event, and the deaths of Hymeno Ran's parents.[1]
History
Glodi was an ancient Bug Naraku corpse reanimated by Uchu King Dagded Dujardin as a request by the Bug Naraku on their original homeworld, constantly reanimated by the power Dagded bestowed him. Dagded filled Glodi with dead Shugod souls to make him a powerful and unstoppable weapon of mass destruction. Glodi would then use his new power to turn his homeworld into a dead planet, forcing the surviving Bug Naraku into migrating to the planet that would become Chikyu. Glodi then became one of Dagded's Jesters, ignorant of his nature due to his ingestion of Shugod Souls completely wiping out his memory.
Glodi and Kamejim Unka were sent to Chikyu by Dagded 2,000 years ago to observe and influence the planet to their master's design. 15 years before the events of the show, the Uchu King ordered them to eliminate Causus Husty as punishment for the Shugodom king's betrayal. As Causus unlocked the power of Ohkuwagata Ohger, the two Jesters engaged him in a fiery battle and successfully killed the silver Ranger. Later, Glodi initiated the catastrophic Wrath of God to conceal their deed by ravaging all of Chikyu. During the crisis, he used God Scorpion's venom to assassinate Hymeno Ran's parents and then poison Tofu's rice supply. But Iroki, Tofu's then-lord, foiled his scheme by hoarding and burning all the rice at the cost of her life and reputation. Ultimately, Glodi was sealed by Gokkan's former monarch Karras Dehaan.
When Dagded Dujardin and his Jesters arrived on Chikyu to deal with the Ohsama Sentai two years after the death of Naraku King Dezunaraku VIII, they located Glodi and freed him to rejoin their group while using his powers to supply them with an army of undead Sanagim. While placed in charge of Tofu when Dadged teleported the Ohsama Sentai to the Deboth-ruled Earth, he revived Iroki to serve as a figurehead ruler in his regime.
Life, Death, and Trapped in Hakabaka

Eventually once Hymeno learned Glodi's true nature as an undead monster, she enlists Jeramie into using the power of his King's Proof to give the jester true life so they can kill him. However, driven mad from being alive after regaining his memories, Glodi's power greatly increases as he decides to cause a second Wrath of the Gods to wipe out everyone. But the Ohsama Sentai made preparations to reduce causalities while averting the calamity, forcing Glodi to personally destroy Chikyu as a giant. However, he is killed off by God King-Ohger.
Glodi trapped in Hakabaka.
Ending up at Hakabaka after death, Glodi was initially happy to be finally dead and attain a silent world at last. But his joy is short-lived as he is tormented by the ghosts who reside in realm, denied the silence he wanted forevermore.

By the time Kamejim is sent to Hakabaka by Dezunaraku VIII, Glodi signaled his fellow Jester to remain silent, having already accepted his fate without putting up much resistance.

Glodi was one of the spirits who had booked a seat at Sonoi's oden stall, along with Dezunaraku VIII and Iroki.
Personality
Glodi can be described as an extremely arrogant nihilistic being with a morbid infatuation for death in general. He dislikes any noises that are made by a living being. Thus, he intends to kill them so he can attain his desired world of silence. This in turn makes him detest hospitals and doctors, since they help preserve life.
Ironically, despite his obsession with death, Glodi had also deemed his supposed immortality as a hindrance as it is preventing him to die with himself claiming that Death itself had rejected him. Once he knows that he cannot die due to his ability, he completely dwells in his nihilistic nature and vowed to keep killing until the world turns quiet to his liking.
Glodi's wish for death ended up backfiring upon him, as shown when he finally dies and entered Hakabaka, the ghosts that inhabit the said realm won't let him rest, much to his annoyance forevermore. By the time Kamejim entered Hakabaka, Glodi has already given up on his goal and accepted his fate.
Forms
Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Shapeshifting: Like Kamejim Unka, Glodi possesses the ability to adopt a human form and revert back to his original form.
- Necromancy: Glodi has the ability to revive dead beings by issuing the command 'Wake Up' to the cadaver. When doing so, his eyes will shine light blue with swirl pattern and the target(s) will also possess the same pattern on their eyes. However, Glodi claimed that he cannot control the actions of the revived beings, especially if the target(s) is long dead, as the revived beings will act on their instincts to dispose what they deemed as threat. Furthermore, if the subject of revival had prior knowledge about manipulation, they can retain their free will upon their revival, as shown with Iroki. That power would be revealed to be the reason he cannot die.
- Teleportation: Glodi can teleport into any location at will.
- Weapon Summoning/Disperse: Glodi can summon and relinquish his weapon in pitch-black energy with a wave of his hand.

Behind the Scenes
Portrayal
- Glodi Leucodium is portrayed by Kousei Amano (天野 浩成 Amano Kousei)[2], who previously portrayed Sakuya Tachibana
/Kamen Rider Garren in Kamen Rider Blade and Kouhei Hayami/Libra Zodiarts in Kamen Rider Fourze. In Episode 30, he was credited with question marks. In his monster form, his suit actor is Hiroyuki Muraoka (村岡 弘之 Muraoka Hiroyuki).

Etymology
- Glodi's last name is derived from Leucochloridium paradoxum, evidenced by the swirl pattern in his (and his victims') eyes whenever he uses necromancy.
Notes
- Out of all the members of the Uchu Five Jesters, Glodi was the only member to have a preference for using a human-like appearance over his true monster form. All of the other members usually stuck to their true forms, with Kamejim being able to take on human disguises whenever he needs to.
- Glodi is the third of the Uchu Five Jesters to be killed.
