 | This article is about a/an villain in Mahou Sentai Magiranger. |
Hades Wise God Dagon (冥賢神ダゴン, Meifukenshin Dagon, 35-49) was the seemingly-invincible leader of the Hades Gods who uses the Samukama trident as a weapon. Dagon trusts no one except for himself and Absolute God N Ma, caring only about serving N Ma, and furthering his master's goals, and nothing else, not even the well-being of his fellow Hades Gods seen when he killed Hades God Ifrit for failing to honor his rule. When he realizes that something's awry with the Dark Percepts, Dagon attempted to use his Marudeyouna World to find N Ma's soul, only to find Dark Magic Knight Wolzard as the reason for his master's hindrance. After seeing that the Ozu family can't be underestimated because of their courage, Dagon goes against the law by having Hades God Sleipnir support Drake to draw out Wolzard. Once Phantom Spy Vancuria plants one of his fishscales on Wolzard during the battle, Dagon takes Hades God Wyvern and Hades God Titan with him to ambush Wolzard, taking personal pleasure in mortally extracting N Ma's soul from Heavenly Saint Blagel and sending him to plummet to the fiery depths of a crevasse.
He also gave another of his scales to communicate with Vancuria, so that he had information on the situation with Wyvern and Titan, as well as giving Vancuria orders to make sure Wyvern does the job right. He ambushed and killed Titan so that N Ma could be reborn in Titan's body. With Sleipnir's help, Dagon slew Hades Goddess Sphinx when she abandoned her Divine Punishment. Dagon was confronted by MagiMother in the finale while Sleipnir faced the other Magirangers, and fought her until the Rangers intervened. He attempted to blast Urara Ozu with an energy ball, but Smoky the Magical Cat intervened and took the hit for Urara, killing him. He then teleported himself and MagiMother to the Infershia lair, where he would enlighten Miyuki of "paradise" that is N Ma's desire. Dagon was surprised as well as infuriated when Sphinx arrived, alive and well with Vancuria at her side. Even though Sphinx offered him a chance to change his ways, Dagon refused and tried to strike her down again, as Dagon only desired the power of darkness and the perfect nightmare, but Sphinx shot and fatally wounded Dagon with her bazooka. As he died, he was left wondering whether or not the power of darkness was truly absolute as he originally thought.
