- "I'm back!"
- ―Rainian Agent Abrella's first words after awakening.[src]
- "It was a simple transport job. I am but a victim. Because of her, one of my jobs was a failure. Pleased to meet you ladies and gentlemen Dekarangers. I've known all about your activities. My name is Agent Abrella. I sell machines throughout space, although in secret. This time, I was requested to blow up a planet. Where this girl was from, the target planet Chinita, she was supposed to blow up with it. What you swallowed was not a jewel but a tracker for a planet destroying missile. Once taken out of the box, a missile is fired that seeks that jewel. It will crash into the Earth in thirty minutes. But if this planet explodes, it will hinder my sales. Could you take that girl and dump her into space for me? That's the easiest way to save the Earth right."
- ―Agent Abrella revealing himself to the Dekarangers.[src]
- "What’s going on?! This is… Damn you! You usurped me although you couldn’t transform?!!"
- ―Agent Abrella after Banban shut down DekaBase Robo.[src]
- "Owwwwwww! Damn you!"
- ―Agent Abrella’s final words before his death.[src]
Agent Abrella (エージェント・アブレラ Ējento Aburera), sometimes romanized as Abrera) was the bat-like Rainian (レイン星人 Rein Seijin) arms merchant and the main antagonist of Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger.
History[]
A big name on the interstellar black market, Abrella cares about nothing other than money, and provides his Alienizer customers with robotic foot soldiers, powered Muscle Gear armor suits, Heavy Industrial Machine mecha, and other illegal items for conducting criminal activities.
The effects of his crimes have left their mark on the universe: he has instigated interstellar wars that wiped out entire populaces, presumably to create a market for the weapons he sells. He is fully aware of the effect the Dekarangers' success has on his business; if he could make them lose face, would-be criminals would gain confidence, and crime rates would rise, as would demand for his products. The only link most Alienizers share with any of the others is that the majority of them are among Abrella's customers.
Although he remains behind the scenes for the first half of the series, Abrella makes his presence known after an Igaroid attacked Slorpean Faraway who he was using to transport a gem capable of summoning a planet destroying missile. He appeared in a flurry of bats, being immediately recognized by Faraway as the one who gave her the gem but he was angry at her for failing in her mission to disperse the gem before introducing himself to the Dekarangers and revealing that he was an arms merchant tasked with blowing up the planet. Senichi then realized what the jewel did and Abrella revealed that the jewel was a target for that giant doomsday missile. and revealing that he was the true mastermind behind everything that they had been fighting against. Unfortunately, since she skipped planets before it could reach Chinita, she moved to Earth and thus would destroy the planet which he didn't want as Earth was the meeting ground for his many illicit dealings. He told them to dump her into space so the missile would explode harmlessly but enraged Banban who shot him with his blaster. Unfortunately, Abrella was unfazed and summoned Anaroids before leaving. Fortunately, the Dekarangers were able to destroy the missile with Dekaranger Robo which undid the scheme completely. TV STORY-Episode. 30: Gal Hazard
After the destruction of the Browgouls, Abrella develops a personal grudge against the Space Police. TV STORY-Episode. 43: Meteor Catastrophe
Abrella attempts to use Kruger's former comrade Bokudenian Biskes to steal the Dekarangers' SPD badges and sell them on the black market as part of a smear campaign to turn Earth into an Alienizer crime heaven by convincing the Alienzers that the Special Police are pushovers. The plan fails, Biskes is obliterated but Abrella escapes in the explosion of Big Drawer although he is presumed dead. TV STORY-Episode. 44: Mortal Campaign
When that failed, Abrella takes some time off to work on his ultimate scheme. By using Kulernian Jellyfis as a distraction to keep the Dekarangers out of his way, he attacks the Dekabase after hiring Gimonian Angorl, Gedonian Uniga, Dragian Ganymede, and Jergonian Sukeela for muscle. Using sheer force of numbers, the DekaBase Seizure Gang successfully takes it over where Abrella plans to lure the Special Police's main force to Earth by attacking the city with the DekaBase Robo. His hidden agenda is to use the DekaBase's planetary shield to destroy the main force to bring an end to the Space Police so the universe can by dominated by money and crime and he can profit infinitely. He also disables the Dekarangers' transformation system when they successfully get back into the DekaBase. TV STORY-Episode. 49: Devil's DekaBase
However, Abrella underestimates their individual skills and his plan fails since they break in and re-establish their powers and repel the invaders. With DekaBase having lost all power, Abrella is brought back to the control room at which point Banban blasts him straight out of the DekaBase alongside his lieutenants. After the Dekarangers do their roll call, he announces that this will not be his end due to being responsible for the destruction of many more advanced worlds. He and his lieutenants then go into battle where he fights Banban whilst his lieutenants fight the other Dekarangers. Unfortunately for Abrella, his lieutenants are easily deleted and he is crippled by the D-Magnum which leaves him unable to escape. Banban then judges him and Abrella is found guilty of destroying galaxies and instigating intergalactic wars to profit from those who want to buy his weapons to get the upper hand. Abrella claims that their job will never be done since he is one of many criminals with the same goal across the galaxy but Banban believes that everyone has the capacity to do good so his ilk can never flourish. Murphy K9 then appears and they form the D-Bazooka which is finally able to delete Abrella. TV STORY-Episode. 50: Forever Dekaranger
Legacy[]
Although Abrella is gone, the Dekarangers have not heard the last of their worst enemy since Abrella's pupil Apollos (calling himself Agent X) carries on in his stead, until he is deleted by the Magirangers and Dekarangers.
The Flying Ghost Ship[]
Some years afterwards, Abrella re-emerges within the subspace of Los Dark's ghost pirate ship where he leads an army of Mechanoids against the pirate Sentai. Four members of the team face Abrella head on whilest Captain Marvelous escapes out of the subspace using the Red Hawk key to return to the main ship. It is unknown what happened after the defeat of Los Dark but, given that the ship is obliterated along with Fake GokaiOh, Abrella is presumed killed once more. TV STORY-Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger the Movie: The Flying Ghost Ship
Super Hero Taisen Z[]
Agent Abrella is part of an army of resurrected (mostly Super Sentai) monsters led by Space Raider after the revival of Madou Demon King Psycho. They proceed to attack the gathering of Kamen Riders and Super Sentai, giving them a hard time. The heroes of recent years are in a pinch until the arrival of a force of Sentai and Rider reinforcements led by Akarenger and Kamen Rider Ichigo. The combined forces of superheroes are able to turn the tide against the Madou army. They line up and used their various finisher attacks to destroy the revived monsters.

Personality[]
- "Dekarangers, respond! By analyzing the documents of the whole galaxy... Our investigation has identified Agent Abrella. He is a Rainian. He is an Alienizer that has created war in seven galaxies and planets. For the pursuit of money, he has exterminated entire populaces. He's the most evil merchant in the space criminal market!"
- ―Chief Numa D regarding Agent Abrella.[src]
Agent Abrella was an extremely money driven individual and an unrelenting psychopath who didn't care about any crime he committed whether it would be genocide, mass murder, stealing, pirating games and/or movies, pawning stolen merchandise, vandalizing monuments. snuff filming and even torturing others, he didn't care as long as he can profit from war and crime. He speaks calmly and sophisticated despite this but becomes more and more unstable as the Dekarangers continue to interfere in his business. Abrella is an extremely intelligent, sadistic, cold-blooded, power-hungry and Machiavellian psychopath, who will stop at nothing to destroy the Dekarangers and commit as many crimes as possible, such as starting wars, committing genocide of the entire species and populations. He is also highly and extremely hypocritical and frequently claimed that he was going to create a paradise that's full of nothing but crime, money and evil for Alienizer criminals at Earth albeit it's debatable and even highly unlikely that he has any form of attachment towards his fellow Alienizer and likely did it only for money and profit. He is also extremely intelligent and is a brilliant tactician, able to easily outsmart his enemies and put his further plans in motion, such as manipulating the people, including his enemies for his selfish and evil goals.
Abrella holds a great grudge against the space police and eventually became their archenemy for the second half of the season and their most powerful enemy during the season. However, despite his sly, calculating and strategic nature, Abrella's arrogance was his primary weakness which led to his defeat, since he despised and taunted the Dekarangers and underestimated their abilities. He was fully aware of the effect the Dekarangers' success has on his business; if he could make them lose face, would-be criminals would gain confidence, and crime rates would rise, as would demand for his products.
