Zodomas (ゾドマス Zodomasu) is one of Space Empire Zangyack's Action Commanders.
History[]
Zodomas was picked by Barizorg on Warz Gill's command. He demonstrates his swordsmanship on the Gigant Horse by slicing an apple with the sword. Impressed, the crew send him down to Earth where he slices buildings apart before he is confronted by Joe and Ahim. Ahim and the remaining Gokaigers battle his accompanying Gormin while Gokai Blue and Zodomas duel, the latter tauning Joe for his own swordsmanship and easily overpowering him with his blade attack before he leaves due to the rest of the Gokaigers showing up. Joe then vows to defeat him by himself by training to use a new fighting style using two swords. Shocked upon hearing this from Barizorg, he goes to Insarn for help.
Zodomas returns to Earth near the ocean to have another duel with Joe/Gokai Blue, which they do until a trio of Sugormin suddenly pin down the Gokaiger to prevent him from countering the blade attack. The other Gokaigers arrive (Ahim was already there to watch the fight) to battle against the Sugormin trio with the Dekaranger and Gekiranger forms so that Gokai Blue can finally use his new style to defeat his attack, only for him to reveal the modifications he got from Insarn. Seeing this, the other Gokaigers lend Gokai Blue their own Gokai Sabers for a five-blade style Blue Slash attack, summoning manifestations of Gosei Blue, Shinken Blue, MagiBlue, HurricaneBlue and GingaBlue to bring him down.
Enlarged upon his defeat, Zodomas fights all 5 Gokaigers who shoot down the enlarged Sugormin combine hovercraft he rode on before being destroyed by Magi GokaiOh's Gokai Magi Bind.
Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen[]
However, he is revived in Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen
as a member of the Shocker-Zangyack Alliance. He is seen being pushed back by Red Buster in the charge and by Kamen Rider Den-O Sword Form in the first aerial attack scene. He is also seen being ganged up by DenziRed and Red Flash in the second aerial scene.
Personality[]
He is a master swordsman who believes in winning by any means, having Insarn modify his body with bladed tendrils in response to learning about Gokai Blue's two-blade fighting style. He's also a being who uses hypocrisy to his advantage, fooling Gokai Blue that he was a fair fighter (by saying that 5-on-1 wasn't fair) as so Zodomas could use Sugormins to pin him down.
- Zodomas was originally an alien with unrivaled muscle control and superhuman swordsmanship. Insarn enhanced him with an ability to generate afterimages from slashes and an exoskeleton equipped with bladed tendrils.
- He was in charge of "Operation Earth-Destroying Swordsmanship" (剣術地球破壊作戦 Kenjutsu Chikyū Hakai Sakusen).
