Mobile Commander Barashitara (行動隊長バラシタラ Kōdō Taichō Barashitara) is a villain which serves the Kikaitopia Dynasty Tojitendo and acts as the secondary antagonist of Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger. He is in charge of invading worlds and serves as their field commander. He is also the father of Stacy.
History
Past
Much of Barashitara's past is unknown, but what is known is that he has had at least eight hundred and ninety three wives with one of them being a human woman from a conquered parallel world named Lise and through that particular union, he had bore a child whom he had named Stacy. Not only that, according to Barashitara himself, he had fathered countless children as a result of his numerous unions with the women whom he had taken as his wives while he had participated in the Tojitendo's insidious crusade of conquering the entire multiverse with himself murdering said children when each and every one of them had attempted to defeat him in order to avenge their respective deceased mothers whom had been treated poorly either by Barashitara himself or by the Tojitendo in general which had caused the deaths of each and every one of Barashitara's wives. At some point, he joined the Kikaitopia Dynasty Tojitendo and rose up through the ranks to become the deputy of the empire with only Great King Bokkowaus outranking him.
Zenkaiger
As a part of Bokkowaus' grand plan, Barashitara and Izirude (the Tojitendo's resident genius) begin consuming the various worlds and trapping them inside Tojiru Gears. These include those of the Gorengers (while they were fighting Zolders), the Zyurangers (in the midst of their battle against Dora Goblin) and the Kiramagers (as Juru fights Galza). Barashitara is first seen with Izirude as Bokkowaus demands a status report. He remains off to one side and remains completely silent until Bokkowaus' pet bird Gege comes up with the idea to invade the elusive world that avoids Tojiru Gearification rather than just make it a Tojiru Gear instantly and the general is selected to lead the invasion force. Barashitara leads a platoon of Kudakks in an invasion and attacks a street cafe where a boy named Kaito Goshikida is having lunch. Barashitara declares that this world belongs to the Tojitendo before sending his Kudakks in to attack which utterly disgusts Kaito who confronts Barashitara about attacking his own people. However, Barashitara dismisses them as unimportant cannon fodder as he chokes Kaito before throwing him off into the distance. Later, Barashitara arrives to a nearby plaza to discover Kaito has returned with a Kikaitopian named Juran only to have Juran gun down a Kudakk and for them to henshin into Zenkaizer and Zenkai Juran respectively. Once they defeat his Kudakks, Barashitara summons a Kudaitest before the Kudaiter goes into battle even as the Kudaitest starts wrecking buildings before Barashitara retreats but they are all defeated and the Tojitendo is dealt its first defeat. 
TV STORY-No. 1-kai! The World of Kikai is Kikikaikai!
When Kaito and Juran defeat Sushi World, Barashitara summons a Kudaitest and leaves as it forms Great Sushi World who is swiftly destroyed by the Zenkaigers. TV STORY-No. 5-kai! A Sushi Tournament!
Barashitara uses the Gomitopia Tojiru Gear to create Garbage World and convert the Earth into Garbagetopia. When he reports this to Great King Bokkowaus however, his majesty is immensely appalled at the news. The idea annoys Bokkowaus so much that that Bokkowaus questions Barashitara’s sanity and slams him down since he doesn’t care about the inhabitants of Earth but refuses to rule over a world made entirely out of garbage. Barashitara claims that Izirude will be able to create some colossal vacuum cleaner to remove the trash but they didn't need to worry since Garbage World is swiftly destroyed and Barashitara calls forth a Kudaitest to create Great Garbage World Who is then swiftly destroyed by the Zenkaigers. Afterwards however, Barashitara is working alone in the throne room only for a strange man in purple to reveal himself and reveal that he is his son. TV STORY-No. 6-kai! Unpleasant and Mysterious Garbage Handling!
Barashitara is disgusted when a Kudakk sent to Earth to attack the Earth with a Kudaiter returns as the sole survivor and prepares to kill him with Bokkowaus being equally angry. However, when a Tojiru Gear falls down after Bokkowaus pounds the ground, Gege suggests punishing the Kudakk by infusing it with the power. Bokkowaus agrees and Izirude inserts it into the Kudakk which creates Super Warumono World who is later destroyed anyway. TV STORY-Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger The Movie: Red Battle! All Sentai Rally!!
Barashitara is present for Izirude’s presentation of the Geartozinger to Bokkowaus and later confronts Izirude for why he gave his son this special device. As it turns out, Stacy is being used as little more than an experimental guinea pig since he needs to test it on a human first due to the similarities between Stacaesar and Zenkaizer. TV STORY-No. 7-kai! The Prince of the Demon World is Short-Tempered!
Endgame
When he had heard news that the Zenkaigers had somehow been transported to the Tojitendo Palace, he had searched for the Zenkaigers who had been ejected from the Tojitendo Palace by Bokkowaus in order to deal with them before he had came across both Kaito Goshikida and Vroon who had been separated from their teammates before he had stated to them while he had intended to savor the moment of killing the two Zenkaigers, he had to finish them off as quick as possible due to Bokkowaus himself no longer having any patience left towards the Zenkaigers themselves.
At first, he had managed to maintain an edge over the two Zenkaigers by not giving them the chance to transform as well as seperating the both of them from their respective weapons which had only given them the option to run away from the Tojitendo general in question and gain some distance from him in spite of Barashitara not slowing down his assault onto the aforementioned heroes. Fortunately, the unexpected aid of both Stacy and the World Pirates had given both Zenkaigers in question the opportunity to leave the aforementioned scene which leaves Barashitara to deal with both his son and Twokaizer to deal with. TV STORY-No. 47-kai! Enter The Palace! I'm Proud Even In Front of The Boss!
However, even with both Stacaesar and Twokaizer now fighting against the Tojitendo general himself, Barashitara had still managed to maintain an edge over both of his opponents to the point where a point blank shot from the mortar on his head that he had inflicted on the both of them had forced them out of their respective transformations. Barashitara would then proceed to gloat to both of his opponents out of his sheer arrogance towards what he presumes to be the outcome of the fight in question. For Zocks' case, he had rubbed the fact regarding the World Pirate himself losing against Barashitara as the outcome that awaited him should he return to Kikaitopia to Zocks' face as well as mocking Zocks' intelligence, in a manner of speaking, by stating that the World Pirates should have made the choice to not participate in the final battle and just go to any of the other recently freed parallel worlds for treasure. For Stacy's case, he had gloated to him that Stacy was not the first of his children to try and defeat him in order to avenge their deceased mothers who had been killed by the Tojitendo's and Barashitara's poor treatment of them as well as himself stating to Stacy that he had killed each and every one of his Stacy's half-siblings along with denouncing all of Stacy's efforts in trying to defeat him.
Thankfully, both Zocks and Stacy had managed to deflect Barashitara's words by stating their individual resolve out loud as they had pointed out how wrong the Tojitendo general himself was in his thinking towards their respective mindsets and actions with their proclaimed resolve managing to motivate them to transform once again before they proceeded to continue their final showdown against Barashitara himself. And with that, Barashitara had suddenly found himself overwhelmed by both his son's and the World Pirate's teamwork between each other which had caused the Tojitendo general himself to prepare his strongest attack so that he could finally finish them off.
Barashitara's death
At first, a beam clash between Barashitara's most powerful attack against the combined might of both Super Twokaizer's and Stacaesar's attacks had proceeded underway as a result with the two heroes themselves threatening to become overwhelmed by the Tojitendo general's final attack but fortunately, the other World Pirates had managed to steady the two heroes in question which had enabled both Super Twokaizer and Stacaesar to successfully overwhelm Barashitara's attack and defeat him once and for all. Once he has been mortally wounded as a result, Barashitara only had just about enough time to express his utter disbelief towards the fact that his so called "Worthless" son and the "Lowly" World Pirates had just successfully defeated him before he had exploded in a blaze of glory. TV STORY-No. 48-kai! Sky Full of Stars, The Dynasty Collapses!
Personality
- "It makes no difference if they're human of Kikainoid. What matters is us, the ruling class... And the rest of you are no more than scrap."
- ―Mobile Commander Barashitara's elitist and indifferent attitude towards other beings as expressed to Kaito when they first met.[src]
Barashitara is very bull-headed, stubborn, and generally arrogant and selfish though he does show intense loyalty to Great King Bokkowaus. When in meetings with Great King Bokkowaus, he stays stoic and silent until he is directly addressed or has something to contribute to the conversation. Barashitara was shown to have a very callous and "who cares?" attitude towards even his own people; caring only about the fates of himself and the other Tojitendo leaders. He is also a very poor father, completely neglecting Stacey to the point of not recognizing him initially and leading his own son to resent him. He also loves a good fight, whether he is participating or a spectator and often ends his involvement in a fight entirely unless forced into battle again (as happened in the Zenkaigers fight against Sushi World). He is very intolerant of slackers and is a workaholic, as he actually destroyed Vacances World when he stopped doing his duty and simply fooled around, threatening to do the same with all the Kudakks that did likewise, despite the fact that the World had actually succeeded in completing the invasion of the Zenkaigers World. As seen in his interactions with a temporarily revived Lise, Barashitara is shown to be mysogenistic, dismissing his late wife's gripes about his behavior and even dismissing her as insignificant. During the final battle, Barashitara had remorselessly proclaimed the full extent of his heartless attitude as he had proclaimed that he had actually beared numerous children with each and every one of his countless wives before he had murdered them all without a second thought when they had made their own attempts in defeating him so that they could avenge their respective mothers due to Barashitara playing a part in each and every one of their respective mothers' deaths.

Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Equilibrium: Barashitara was able to land upright after Bokkowaus slammed his fist down hard during their introductory scene.
- Kudaitest Summoning: Barashitara can summon a Kudaitest into battle in order for it to step on a Tojigear and become a Great World.
- Portal Creation: Barashitara can open a portal that only allows Kikainoids (or at the very least a Tojitendo member) to pass through.
Abilities
- Strength: Barashitara possessed extreme strength, being able to pick up and choke Kaito one handed and send him flying with one throw. His power is to the level that even as physically the strongest of the team, Zenkai Vroon has failed to overpower him and he managed to wear down Super Twokaizer.
Weaknesses
- Superior Power: Although Barashitara could stand up to the Zenkaigers' strongest attacks, he is not infallible to opponents with superior strength, as he was easily knocked away a significant distance while fighting DonMomotaro.
Arsenal
- Bara Spear (バラスピアー Bara Supiā): Barashitara wields a rocket-ship tipped spear in combat.
- Energy Empowerment: Barashitara can charge up his spear with purple energy to swing at full force.
- Rocket Blast: As seen when he aided Sushi World, Barashitara can fire the rocket at the end of his staff as a ranged attack that took down three Zenkaigers with a single blast. It also instantly destroyed Vacances World in a single hit.
- Binoculars: Barashitara has a set of binoculars which allows him to see what is going on.
- Loudspeaker Machine: Barashitara used a loudspeaker connected to a sound machine to raise his voice.
- In-built Weapons: Given his military vehicle theme, Barashitara is capable of firing many weapons integrated into his body. Quite noticeably, he has a cannon in his chest and a turret on each shoulder and forearm, both capable of firing explosive rounds or missiles. Additionally, he possess many more torpedo launchers in his arms and a mortar on his skullcap that can shoot large fireballs.
- Giga Barashoot: Barashitara can charge red energy into his cannon to fire the GigaBarashoot, which was able to match both Staceaser's Dark Imperial Artillery and Super Twokaiser's Rex Refreezer, but was eventually overpowered by both finshers.
