"Love?! Ridiculous! Do you really think Radiguet has such feelings?!"
―Back Dimensional Count Radiguet, right before killing his former girlfriend Saki.[src]

"Don't you think you have defeated me! The spirit of Radiguet will keep on haunting you from the other dimension for eternity!"
―Radiguet's final words before his death.[src]

Back Dimensional Count Radiguet (裏次元伯爵ラディゲ Urajigen Hakushaku Radige) is one of the main antagonists of Choujin Sentai Jetman. A member of the Vyram elite alongside Tran, Grey and Maria, he is the most proactive member of the group, who bears an undying, petty hatred for humanity, especially the Jetmen. He eventually ascends to the role of the main antagonist in the last episodes, becoming the final foe the Jetmen must face.

History[]

Jetman[]

Radiguet is a cold-hearted, wily, terrible, and outwardly narcissistic officer who is the nearest presence to a leader of Vyram and will do anything to accomplish his goals, even help Jetman themselves. He preferred being upfront about his attacks and not covert. The concealed half of his face is ancient while the other is youthful. Radiguet wielded the Demon Sword Bloody Gate. When Radiguet becomes angry he becomes Evil Beast Radigan (凶獣ラディガン Kyōjū Radigan), his true form. He would not acknowledge anyone who stands above him. When the Vyram Queen, Empress Juuza found them, he could no long stand her imperiousness and being her servant so he attacked her. She erased his memory and sent him to Earth as a human. He was found by a dying young woman named Saki that helped him as he was confused and panic-stricken. He healed her with powers he didn't know he had. Saki was in love with him but they were attacked by Juuza and his memory returned and so did his standard appearance. He guided the Jetman against the Empress. Saki later begged him to come back to her, but his skin became blue and coldly killed her, saying he does not need to feel love.

He would not acknowledge anyone who stands above him so had a terrible grudge against Tranza who overpowered him. He was fed to Robot Veronica and he absorbed its energy to power himself so he could defeat Tranza to become Vyram's leader but escaped with too much power and wandered the city as a human once again. He would have energy spasms that would set off anything electrical near him. Eventually he was drawn to a battle between Tranza and the Jetman, and rescued Ryu while Tranza pursued the others. Ryu didn't know who he was but Radiguet lent him his strength. When Radiguet almost helped, Tranza tried to hold Ryu hostage, only him become his standard form once again. While the heroes thought they defeated Tranza, it was really Radiguet who dealt the final blow, that left Tranza in an insane asylum. Near the finale, Rie, having been released from Radiguet's control, stabbed him in the back, at which point Radiguet knew that he lost her forever, and preferred to kill her instead of "...give you to Red Hawk". He teleported back to the Vyrock base. He later went after Ryu and almost won the duel until the other Jetman arrived. and bonded with it. Radiguet bonded with the Vyrock base to become Giant Beast Raguem (巨大獣ラゲム Kyōdaijū Ragemu).

Though his body had disappeared, Radiguet's soul endured and possessed Tranza's body years later in the manga. He used Ryū and Kaori's daughter to fight for him until he was defeated by Gai's replacement, Green Eagle. Radiguet was going to use Jeff as his new body, but Tranza held Radiguet at bay as the two died in an explosion.

Personality[]

Radiguet is defined by his grandiose sense of self-worth, god complex and treacherous nature who will stop at nothing in achieving his goals to rule everything. He considers both Juuza and Tranza beneath him, going as far as to manipulate the Jetmen into removing the two villains out of the equation; and by extension he sees the Jetmen as stepping stones to his ambitions.

Another disturbing aspect of Radiguet's depravity is his inability to feel love and compassion, and his response at a slightest act of kindness is through murderous intent; as shown when he murdered the human who took care of him while in his amnesiac state, and even killed Maria right in front of Tendo before she could turn to the side of good out of spite.

After his defeat by Empress Juuza, Radiguet is left on Earth in a human form with amnesia. Although he befriends a girl and appears to change somewhat, he returns to his former form and arrogance after regaining his memory.Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 18: Gai Dies!

Radigan Jetmen

Radigan

This is his second form which occurs everytime Radiguet feels rage. Usually this causes him to look more monsterous than he originally did before. Ryu was the first Ranger to witness this side of Radiguet. Seeing Radiguet like this proved to Ryu that the Vyram are less human than any average earthling.Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 6: Get Angry, Robo!

An unexpected side effect of absorbing Veronica's energy, Radiguet gained the ability to transform into a giant monster with his face, before morphing into his Radigan face, on his new form's stomach. During his final battle with the Jetmen, when a weakness from Maria presented his opponents with an advantage, Raguem had the Vyrock form into armor to protect himself. However, the Jet Garuda managed to claw the armor off before holding Radiguet in position to have Jet Icarus attack his exposed back, though it would be at the cost of sacrificing the Jet Garuda, and possibly Ryu, who was piloting it. The Jet Icarus proceeded to fatally impale Radiguet through the back with the Birdonic Saber, stabbing Jet Garuda in the process. Dying, Radiguet cursed the Jetmen one last time, swearing that his soul would haunt them from the Reverse Dimension forever before collapsing and exploding. His death destroyed the Jet Garuda alongside him, though Ryu survived.Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 45: The Hot Milk of VictoryTvicon TV STORY-Ep. 48: A Kiss That Calls DeathTvicon TV STORY-Final Ep.: Flap Your Wings!
