Great Bohma Emperor Lagorn (大暴魔帝王ラゴーン Dai Bōma Teiō Ragōn) was the absolute dictator of the Hundred Bohma Tribes and the main antagonist of Kousoku Sentai Turboranger.
History[]
The demonic-looking leader of all of the Hundred Bohma Tribes, he became sealed within Bohma Castle 20,000 years in the past in a final move by Saint Beast Lakia to bring an end of the war between the Bohma, humanity and the fairies. Although the seal was strong when Lagorn and Bohma Castle were sealed away, the wear of Earth over the past 20,000 years and the loss of the power of the fairies due to factors such as failure of belief and humanity's pollution of the planet, allowed for the seal to weaken alongside all other Bohma seals. With the power of the main Bohma generalship of Bohma Doctor Lehda, Princess Bohma Jarmin and Dark Bohma Zimba and the Bohma forces available, Lakia becomes defeated and Lagorn becomes unsealed with Bohma Castle, hoping to pick up right where the Bohma left off in conquering Earth.
TV STORY-Ep. 3: Bohma Castle! The 20,000-Year Curse
Lagorn ruled with an iron fist, controlling all forces within the castle but tormenting those near him with his six arms that emerge from his back supporter alongside his throne. He tended to take any ideas regarding the Bohma conquest of Earth, but had a short temper and a hatred of failure, punishing any of his warriors who failed with his arms. When the Bohma generals ultimately fail him too often, he forces them to perform final do-or-die tactics in order to defeat his enemies and conquer Earth, ultimately leading to the deaths of Zimba, Jarmin and Lehda.

While having problems with several alternate factions of the Bohma, Lagorn's greatest dread among his own people were the "Wandering Bohma", beings born of a human and Bohma possessing the appearance of one and power of the other. Due to this human side, Lagorn tended to persecute and consider the Wandering Bohma as not true Bohma, as he and his warriors had done to the prominent warrior Yamimaru in the past. When Yamimaru emerged in modern times to have his own take on the Turboranger, the hatred remained mutual: Lagorn did not want him to interfere, while Yamimaru wanted Lagorn to fall just as much as he wanted to defeat the Turboranger seeing him as just as much part of the problem. However after his main generals fell, Lagorn had no choice but to induct Yamimaru and the later awakened Wandering Bohma Kirika into his ranks to assist in Earth's conquest. However the mistrust between the tribes remained due to the Bohma's continued hatred of the human-looking Bohma, making the Wandering Bohma believe the only way for the tribes is a way with Lagorn eliminated.

In a stunning turn of events, Yamimaru and Kirika abduct Riki Honoo (Red Turbo) and send him to Bohma Castle to fight Lagorn one-on-one, with the belief that one, if not both, of them will die and the other will be dealt with in due time. With no other choice but to fight, Red Turbo and Lagorn face each other in a showdown, with Riki ultimately stabbing Lagorn with the GT Sword and appearing to defeat him. However, the Bohma Leader becomes mobile for the first time and grows into a massive, powerful giant whose only purpose is to march towards the Turbo Builder base to destroy the Turboranger once and for all. The Turboranger face him with every weapon they have, with not even Super Turbo Robo being enough to stop his march towards their base. Ultimately creating the Super Turbobuilder combination combining their mecha with the base, the Turboranger and Dr. Dazai fire the Super Turbobuilder Beam, appearing to destroy the demonic Bohma leader once and for all while giving the Wandering Bohma control of the tribes!
Tyrant Emperor Lagorn
However while Lagorn appeared to be dead, his body began reforming beneath the notice of all of his enemies within Bohma Castle.
The Awakening of Lagorn
He initially interferes during a scheme in Shikoku where a deceptive Bohma Beast not trusted by Yamimaru or Kirika is suddenly grown after the Turboranger defeat it; then a second time to grow a Bohma Beast sent by Zulten. TV STORY-Ep. 41: The Star Is Me! TV STORY-Ep. 43: The Sixth Soldier! It became even further intrusive when his power corrupted a scheme by Kirika involving a Bohma Beast controlling people with Bohma power, with him temporarily taking over a victim and using it to attack the Wandering Bohma and Turboranger. TV STORY-Ep. 45: Super Magic Boy Ultimately, through the usage of the hatred and power of the Turboranger and Wandering Bohma towards each other, in coordination with a trick by an illusion-creating Bohma Beast, Lagorn was able to absorb both their power to become reborn into the gold-skinned and mobile Neo-Lagorn (ネオラゴーン Neo Ragōn), who immediately seals off both the Turboranger and Wandering Bohma power as punishment. TV STORY-Ep. 46: Lagorn's Counterattack
Turboranger's final showdown against Neo-Lagorn.
After his revival amidst the Turboranger and Wandering Bohma's crisis, Neo-Lagorn begins his final ultimate scheme: the unlocking of the "Great Seal", a secret sealed site where the "108 Bohma Beast Pack" lie dormant, awaiting their return to destroy the Earth. Using Zulten to find Sealing Bohma, the powerful Bohma Beast uses its abilities to unlock the Great Seal, which is ultimately revealed as beneath Turbobuilder, which had been located there due to the massive fairy power used to keep the seal suppressed. Once they realize that the destruction of Turbo Builder would lead to the destruction of the world, the Turboranger rush to Bohma Castle to defeat Neo-Lagorn and prevent the Great Seal from being released. With the help of Yamimaru, who ends up expending a dangerous power in order to defeat his mortal enemy, the Turboranger defeat the Bohma Leader, who once again becomes a giant to destroy Turbobuilder and to undo the Great Seal. With the power of Super Turbo Robo, the Turboranger finally stop Neo-Lagorn once and for all, likewise ultimately destroying Bohma Castle so that it wouldn't plummet onto their base and defeat the purpose of the victory, in order to end the Bohma threat.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Battobas is voiced by the late Takeshi Watabe, who previously portrayed the voice of the Denzi Computer in Denshi Sentai Denziman, Inazuma Ginga in Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan, Emperor Aton in Kagaku Sentai Dynaman, and Gyodai in Dengeki Sentai Changeman. He would later go on to voice Bookback in Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger and Destruction King Battobas in Seiju Sentai Gingaman.
Design[]
- Lagorn's main motifs is that of Buddhist Statues. In the immobile form his motifs are the ones of Acala and an Asura, while in the Neo-Lagorn form his motif is the one of Kongorikishi.
- Great Bohma Emperor Lagorn's design was made by Tamotsu Shinohara. Shinohara, who received explanations about the size of a set that could be used, the character design was done in order to extend the full screen because it was interpreted as using the maximum space. The first design proposal for Giant Lagorn's design was a design with a snake-like lower body, that was modified to the human-type, as the molding was difficult, so the snake elements remained to the tail. Shinohara had designed the legs as theropod like Inugami Bohma, but it was not implemented.
