Quval (クバル Kubaru) was the former Space Outlaws Deathgalien Team Leader who loved to inflict mental pain on others.
History[]
Early Life[]
Quval was originally from an unknown planet that was eventually destroyed by Ginis and ever since then, TV STORY-Ep. 41: The First and The Last Chance he has been plotting of one day destroying him. TV STORY-Ep. 30: The Legendary Megabeast
Deathgalien[]
Quval was playing a board game with fellow Team Leaders Jagged and Azald when the Sagittari Ark arrived at the site of the Deathgalien's 100th Blood Game, Earth. He was offended when Jagged promptly discarded the game in response but was consoled by Azald to forget that dull game and look forward to the heart-pounding activity that awaited. Quval watched Jagged commence the Blood Game on Earth with the other Deathgaliens, and was shocked to see him be defeated by Earth's warriors: the Zyuohgers. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Exciting Animal Land
Concurring with Ginis and Azald's sentiment that this newfound resistance provided an excitement to the Blood Game, Quval notes their recent stages to have be lacking in challenge as they have been so easily destroyed along with the prey they contain. Ginis pits Azald and Quval against each other in a competition to successfully execute the Blood Game on Earth with Ginis promising a reward for the one who amuses him the most. TV STORY-Ep. 2: Don’t Underestimate this Planet
After the initial attack by Bowguns, Azald confronts Quval for seemingly doing literally nothing since the last two Players have belonged to him. Quval simply states that he plans out his attacks whereas Azald performs brute force and gurella tactics. TV STORY-Ep. 3: Want to Go Home but Can’t
Quval makes his move shortly thereafter when he sends his first Player, Amigard, to Earth to start a unique Blood Game. Said Blood Game (which the Player dubs the Battle Show) is to kidnap two people that are close to each other and force them to fight. The loser is ejected into space, causing the winner to feel regret to entertain Ginis. Quval believes that the beauty of his Blood Game is the fact that both parties lose; one gets ejected into space for the rest of time whilst the other feels nothing but crippling loss and depression over dooming their friend. Amigard's inevitable loss against the Zyuohgers however means that he goes straight back to square one. TV STORY-Ep. 4: Howl in the Ring
Shortly after Azald returns from being defeated by the Zyuohgers, TV STORY-Ep. 6: Wild Present Quval decides to try attacking the Zyuohgers directly. Assisted by Moeba, he attacks Tusk and Amu. He easily subdues Amu and, using a giant needle-like device, traps her in the body of a Moeba, forcing Tusk to fight her. Amu is later able to control of the body seperate the device from Quval, and Tusk is able to separate Amu from the Moeba. Cubar flees after the other Zyuohgers arrive due to being heavily outnumbered. TV STORY-Ep. 7: Gho-Gho-Gho-Ghost Appears
Quval sends down Hanayaida to plant a Cannibalbulb plant to consume all life on Earth and win the bet but the Zyuohgers soon kill Hanayaida with the help of Cube Mogura and bring things back to an even playing field. TV STORY-Ep. 9: A Day Does Not End
After a successful attack on Earth, Dorobozu (a member of Team Jagged who wants to become a Team Leader) reveals his plan to destroy Earth's economy which would plunge the world into eternal chaos and impress Ginis. Ever the cynic, Quval points out that this plan is completely stupid due to how insanely long this would take. TV STORY-Ep. 14: The Dummy-Style Lying Thief
After Dorobozu's death, Hunterji (the second and final member of Team Jagged who also wants to become a Team Leader) is next up and shoots a Continue Medal when Naria flips it into the air out of boredom. Quval catches it when it comes back down and even Ginis is surprised to see that the single shot from this hunter themed Player has punched a hole clean through it. Despite his sharpshooting skill, Hunterji is soon slain and thus the last remnants of Jagged are gone forever. TV STORY-Ep. 15: The Shiver-Raising Sniper
Following The World's defection, TV STORY-Ep. 19: Who Can Be Trusted? both Quval and Azald are sent by Ginis to retrieve him. Arriving on Earth, the Team Leaders sends forth the Moebas in a violent onslaught against the first humans in their path, a group of construction workers, which soon enough leads them to be confronted by the four Zyuman Zyuohgers. Easily overwhelming the quartet, the Team Leaders take them hostage in order to bring out The World, with Quval ordering Yamato via a confiscated Zyuoh Changer to return The World in exchange for his Zyuman friends only for Yamato to come alone before engaging them with the Zyuohgers unwavering in their refusal to sell out Misao Mondou even as Yamato was outmatched as Zyuoh Gorilla alone. Defeating Yamato, it was at this point that the Team Leaders are met by Misao Mondou, who has decided to join the fight against the Deathgalien as Zyuoh The World, joining Zyuoh Eagle in battle against them. Beaten back by the two human Zyuohgers, the Team Leaders are forced to retreat with Quval using his immortal comrade as a shield in the face of Zyuoh The World's World The Crash finisher before taking their leave. TV STORY-Ep. 20: Monarch of the World
In a rare agreement with Azald, Quval shares his protest to Ginis' consideration of Bangray as a new Player. TV STORY-Ep. 23: Megabeast Hunter Labelling Bangray a thug who offers merely brute force, Quval is subsequently subjected to an assault by Bangray who places his palm on Quval's head, an act which Quval would later discover while witnessing his activity on Earth is his method of reading memories. Realizing this, Quval ponders as to what was Bangray's motive for invading his mind. TV STORY-Ep. 24: Revived Memory
After Bangray refuses to join Deathgalien, he interrupt's Quval's Blood Game and fights Quval. During the fight, Bangray reveals to Quval that he knows a little about his past. TV STORY-Ep. 25: Unhappy Camera
During the fight, Bangray offers to help Quval destroy Ginis if he helps Bangray with his hunt. Quval agrees and waits patiently until Bangray finds his prey, Cube Whale. Quval uses Bangray's ship to poison the ocean in order to lure out Cube Whale, until he was forced out of the ocean by Sela and Misao. He is surprised to see Ginis unleash an attack to try and capture Cube Whale. TV STORY-Ep. 30: The Legendary Megabeast Once the Deathgalien locate Cube Whale, Quval speaks with Bangray who berates Quval for not discovering Ginis's plan to capture Cube Whale. Quval tells Bangray where to find Cube Whale and returns to the Sagittari Ark. TV STORY-Ep. 31: When the Megabeast Stands
After Cube Whale joins the Zyuohgers, Quval continues his role in the Blood Game, but keeps in contact with Bangray and continues to aid him. First, he allows Bangray to use his memories to produce copies of fallen Players and copies of Zyuohgers so he and Bangray can kidnap Yamato to trade for Cube Whale. TV STORY-Ep. 34: Megabeast Hunter Strikes Back
While Bangray is luring the Yamato to lure the other Zyuohgers out with Cube Whale, Quval is waiting above the terrain in Bangray's ship to blast the Zyuohgers after they hand over Cube Whale. The Zyuohgers predict their treachery, so they use Cube Mogura to escape the blast and Cube Whale escapes and attacks Bangray's ship although Quval escapes the ship before it is destroyed. After Bangray is injured by the Zyuohgers, he asks for Quval's help. Quval cuts off Bangray's right hand and takes it with him, leaving behind a Continue Medal for him to use. TV STORY-Ep. 35: The Zyuohgers Last Day
Quval is surprised to find that Naria, tired of the Zyuohgers' resistance, has hired the hero assassin Gillmarda to eliminate them behind Ginis' back. Along with Azald and Naria, Quval attempts to interfere with the Zyuohgers' fight with the Ninningers for the future of Super Sentai against Gillmarda only to be intercepted by the nine Kyurangers. Beaten back by Sasori Orange and Ookami Blue, Quval is forced to retreat with Azald and Naria. TV STORY-Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger vs. Ninninger: Message from the Future from Super Sentai
Quval replaces his hand with Bangray's hand TV STORY-Ep. 36: The Prince of Halloween and gains Bangray's ability to read and extract memories from people. Quval begins experimenting with it, testing the limits of his new powers. TV STORY-Ep. 39: Calories and Necklace Quval is eventually confronted by Naria but he gains the upper hand in their dual and captures her.
Using her memories, he is able to gain information that Ginis is only powerful as long as he remains on Sagittari Ark but he is extremely vulnerable on Earth. He creates a clone copy of Ginis TV STORY-Ep. 40: Men's Aesthetics to capture Misao so the Zyuohgers who think the real Ginis captured him and creates a copy of Misao for the Zyuohgers to find in the mansion. He creates a copy of Azald and the two go to the base and inform Ginis that Naria has been captured by the Zyuohgers and that Ginis himself has to confront them. When Ginis attacks the Zyuohgers, Quval summons six cloned Players to bring down Ginis. With the clone Misao's support, he is able to convince the Zyuohgers to fight with him to destroy Ginis. Both sides attack the Deathgalien leader, but he uses the Gift memory core to absorb the planet's power and transform into Shin Ginis. He reveals to Quval that he is well aware of what Quval is plotting and allows it to play out. Ginis destroys three Player clones, clone Azald and clone-Misao, which reveals Quval's manipulation of Zyuohgers in fighting Ginis. Shin Ginis grows the remaining monsters, putting them under his control and they are sent to attack Quval, who flees in fear. TV STORY-Ep. 41: The First and The Last Chance
Completely unhinged as the result of his plan falling apart, a fearful Quval assumes the only way to keep Ginis from killing him is by personally killing everyone on Earth. He causes much structural damage until the Zyuohgers confront him. They question his motives since they now know his planet has been destroyed by Ginis, but he tells them he would throw everything away to stay alive since he is now at Ginis' mercy. Despite this, he was defeated. Ginis sends Naria to give him five Continue Medals, causing him to grow and gain new abilities. The Zyuohgers summon their mecha and Quval overpowers them until Misao, who has overcame his fear, arrives with his mecha. The team fight him and then combine their mecha into Wild Tousai Dodeka King and Quval is destroyed, screaming his master's name. TV STORY-Ep. 42: The Future of this Planet
Legacy[]
Quval's rebellion attempt amuses Ginis enough that he holds that Quval would win the Blood Game in abstentia unless Azald does something that amused Ginis more. Azald is therefore forced to keep playing despite being the only team leader left. TV STORY-Ep. 43: The Witnesses of Christmas TV STORY-Ep. 44: Monarch of the Humans
Zyuohger Returns[]
As one of the four senior Deathgalien members, Quval was revived by former member Pocane Daniro.

Personality[]
A cunning and crafty individual, Quval prefers to use slightly complicated plans to mentally traumatize his prey as opposed to his fellow team leader. Though he appeared loyal to Ginis, he actually despised him for destroying his home planet and has been plotting his downfall ever since. In truth, he has no loyalty to anyone but himself, working with others only when they are useful to his plans. When ever things go bad he'll turn on his partner, like using Azald as a shield or cutting off Bangray's hand and leaving him to the mercy of the Zyuohgers. Ultimately, he is nothing but a coward, abandoning his vengeance for his planet after seeing the extent of Ginis's power, wanting only to save his own miserable life.
