"I summon the Guardian Beast Dragon Caesar!"
―DragonRanger summoning Dragon Caesar[src]

Guardian Beast Dragon Caesar [Citation needed]from 29 April 2023 (UTC), or Dragoncaesar[1][2] (守護獣 ドラゴンシーザー Shugo Jū Doragon Shīzā), or "Caesar" for short, is the sixth Guardian Beast and the Mecha of DragonRanger (Burai).

Overview

Dragonzord missiles

Dragon Hurley

Caesar was originally part of Ultimate Daizyuzin who was split into three lesser aspects during the original battle with Dai Satan (the other two being Daizyuzin and King Brachion). It comes at the sound of the Zyusouken's summoning melody, rising up from Tokyo Bay, and its superb combat ability matches that of Tyrannosaurus which allows it to hold its own against even Grifforzer and Lamy-Scorpion. It has the Drill Spinning Caesar (ドリル スピニング シーザー Doriru Supiningu Shīzā) a strong drill on the tip of its tail, and the Dragon Hurley (ドラゴンハーレー Doragon Hārē) attack, a blast of missiles launched from his fingertips, is powerful enough to smash giant Dora Monsters.

When first summoned, Dragon Caesar was used by Burai to attack the city but was defeated by Guardian Beast Tyrannosaurus. Afterwards, the Guardian Beasts combined under Daizyuzin's control who then proceeded to assault Caesar as punishment, much to the shock of the Zyurangers. After Burai finally released the resentment he felt towards his brother Geki, he and Dragon Caesar became the Zyurangers' strongest allies and Caesar was soon able to unite with its other aspects to become Zyutei and Ultimate Daizyuzin.

Because Dragon Caesar is controlled by the Zyusouken, DragonRanger hardly ever went into its cockpit. During his final hour, Burai went into Caesar's cockpit for his very last fight. After Burai's tragic death, Dragon Caesar was heartbroken, and became despondent and aimless. This confusion allowed Bandora to bind it with a weakening spell. Nevertheless, it came to realize that despite Burai being gone, the other Zyurangers still needed its help and accepted Geki as its new master just in time to aid the Zyurangers against Dora Antaeus. It remained a formidable and loyal ally for the the team.

Forms Gouryuuzin's torso, head, and Dragon Antler as well as Zyutei Daizyuzin's shoulder armor. Parts of it also become King Brachion's chest and tail in the Ultimate Daizyuzin formation.

Gouryuuzin

"Combination - Dragon Mission! Gouryuuzin!"

Gouryuuzin (剛龍神 Gōryūjin, Mighty Dragon God) is an alternate form of Daizyuzin, formed by combining Guardian Beasts Dragon Caesar, ZyuMammoth, Triceratops and SaberTiger. Gouryuuzin is somewhat larger and stronger than Daizyuzin, but also slower and less agile, with an appearance similar to a Dragoon. First introduced in episode 22 but doesn't actually fight until episode 23, Gouryuuzin is able to launch the Heat Horn (ヒートホーン Hīto Hōn) a fin on his head as an energized projectile and is armed with the Mighty Dragon Spear Dragon Antler (剛龍槍ドラゴンアントラー Gōryūsō Doragon Antorā) staff formed from Dragon Caesar's tail and chestplate. Able to be used as a spear or shield, the Dragon Antler is able to generate wind currents through its drill tip and can finish off giant Dora Monsters with the Super Exploding Dragon God Thrust (超爆裂龍神突き Chō Bakuretsu Ryūjin Zuki) finisher, where Gouryuuzin uses the weapon to bore a hole right through the opponent, who then explodes.

Appearances: Zyuranger Episodes 22, 23, 25, 27, 29, 37, 39, 48, 50

"Beast Emperor Combination! Zyutei Daizyuzin!"

When Dragon Caesar and Daizyuzin perform Beast Emperor Combination (獣帝合体 Jūtei Gattai), they form Zyutei Daizyuzin (獣帝大獣神 Jūtei Daijūjin, Beast Emperor Great Beast God). First introduced in episode 31, Zyutei Daizyuzin attacks his enemies with a blast of mighty beams from his chest and lateral shoulder armor called the Kaiser Burst (カイサーバースト Kaisā Bāsuto) and his finisher is the Empire Attack (エムパイヤーアタック Emupaiyā Atakku), a massive ball of energy emblazed with the Zyuranger symbol.

There's concept art of Zyutei Daizyujin with Dragon Caesar's tail drill and chestplate attached to its shoulder armors. While this can be reenacted with the toy, it never did so in the series.

Zyutei Daizyuzin was mostly used for Ultimate Daizyuzin when combined with King Brachion.

Appearances: Zyuranger Episodes 31, 34, 37, 38, 42, 43, 48, 50

Notes

  • Despite his name, Dragon Caesar's appearance is more similar to that of Godzilla, with samurai-like armor, than any Western-themed inspirations. He even rises out of the sea in a similar fashion. Caesar's Dragon Hurley missile attack is also similar to that of Mechagodzilla (specifically the 1974 Showa incarnation, which can shoot missiles from its fingers as one of its primary means of attack), one of Godzilla's best known enemies.
  • Dragon Caesar's roar is a recording of an elephant trumpeting.
  • The cockpit of Gouryuzin contains several oddities. The set of the cockpit is a modified version of the Daizyuzin cockpit, minus the combined-dino emblem on the center door and the top portion/forehead area removed. In one battle, it was piloted by only Mammoth, Tricera and TigerRangers, perceivably having no seating for DragonRanger despite Dragon Caesar being part of the combination. In every other instance, Gouryuzin's cockpit had the same seating arrangement as Daizyuzin; PteraRanger had a respective terminal, despite Guardian Beast Pteranodon not being a part of the combination, and TyrannoRanger sat at what was perceptibly DragonRanger's station, displaying terminals with Dragon Caesar's emblem, despite not having access to Burai's Dragon Medal.
  • Due to not being in possession of his Dragon Medal at the time, Burai first entered Dragon Caesar's cockpit outside of his transformed state, making him the only Zyuranger to pilot a Guardian Beast unmorphed.
  • Zyutei Daizyuzin was infrequently used due to the size of the costume and is usually only seen when it combines with King Tanker to form Ultimate Daizyuzin.
  • The Gouryuzin combination has a special attack that is a tribute to UltraSeven's Eye Slugger, where Gouryuzin tosses his head crest at the enemies.
  • In the toy version, the tail and chestplate of Dragon Caesar can be attached to Zyutei Daizyuzin's lateral shoulder armor to form a spear and a shield, respectively. However, these weapons were not seen in the show.
  • Although Dragon Caesar is the Guardian Beast that forms Gouryuuzin's torso, Dragon Ranger was never seen inside its cockpit, despite the combination showcasing a terminal for him.
  • In the design sketches, Dragon Caesar is seen emitting a pentagon-shaped force field from the lights on his chest. This was never shown in the series, but is seen in the game gear version of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers video game.
