Dogormin Bodyguards

The Dogormin Bodyguards (親衛隊ドゴーミン, Shin'eitai Dogōmin^?) are the emperor's red-armored bodyguards. They are always seen working in pair of two.

OverviewEdit

The Dogormin similar to Sugormin, but are red in colour. Despite this resemblence, the Dogormin warned that their enemies would be wise not to judge them on their appearance. According to themselves, they are even more powerful than the average Action Commander. They armed with spears that they can use together to fire blasts in the shape of the Zangyack's Escutcheon.

They are also capable of teleporting in order to enter and withdraw from battle. The Imperial Guard possess their own imperial fleet of purple-colored Zangyack Battleships. They were led by Action Commander Deratsueigar before his death at the hands of the Gokaigers.

HistoryEdit

The Dogormin are normally seen by the emperor's side in the throne room, but are occasionally sent out on imperial business. Their flagship brought Deratsueigar to the Gigant Horse to help Warz Gill in his efforts for the second invasion of Earth. The Serious Rebellion

Later on, their flagship docked at the Gigant Horse where the Dogormin present Waruzu with a gift from his father: the Giant Robo, Great Warz. They arrived on Earth and confronted the Gokaigers (bar Joe; who was fighting Barizorg) after they defeated a force of Gormin and Sugormin. The Gokaigers proceeded to transform into Extra Heroes, Captain Marvelous (GokaiRed) as Wolzard Fire, Gai (GokaiSilver) as Black Knight, Luka (GokaiYellow) as Zubaan, Don (GokaiGreen) as Signalman and Ahim as DekaSwan. The Dogormin were infuriated when Luka mocked them and battle soon commenced. The skirmish ended with the Dogormin being beaten back and withdrawing. The Strongest Fighting Machine

The Dogormin reappeared after all the Gokaigers are reunited, commanding a platoon of Gormin and Zgormin to find and destroy the Gokaigers. When the Gokaigers wiped out the platoon, they tried to attack the Gokaigers with their energy shots, only for all of them to either miss or deflected by the pirates' weapons. They are then destroyed by a Rising Strike/Gokai Legendream combo attack. The Power to Seize Dreams

Two more appear when Ackdos Gill himself arrive onboard the Gigant Horse. They drag away and imprison Damaras for failing to protect Warz Gill.Something I Don't Want To Lose

During an assault on the Gokaigers two enlarged Dogormin are seen fighting GoJyuRex and two more fighting the remaining Gokaigers on the ground, but are quickly defeated by Gai when he transforms GoJyuRex into GoJyuJin and when the remaining Gokaigers use the GokaiGalleon Buster. Later, two more appears as guards in the cell holding Damaras. The Strongest Man in the Universe

When Marvelous was captured, the Emperor decided he would have a public execution, with a pair of Dogormin as the executioners. However, they were stopped by Don. The Dogormin then proceeded to attack the Gokaigers, but were quickly defeated by them after they all changed into Green Rangers. To the Legendary Hero

On Christmas Eve, a pair of Dogormin accompanied Bibaboo when he tried to turn everyone into dolls. The Dogormin were destroyed by the Gokaigers after they all changed into Yellow Rangers. A Lovely Christmas Eve

When Insarn went to take on the Gokaigers, Ackdos Gill sent four Dogormin to back her up. While a group of five Sugormin fought GoJyuJin, the Gokaigers changed into representatives of the five last teams whose Greater Powers they collected. Captain Marvelous took on Insarn while the other four fought a Dogormin each. The Dogormin were destroyed shortly before Insarn was finished off. The Greatest Treasure in the Universe (episode)

When Ackdos Gill began Zangyack's final invasion of Earth, the Gokaigers stood up to them. Marvelous turned into TyrannoRanger, then becoming Armed TyrannoRanger when Gai as DragonRanger gave him his power. Marvelous managed to swiftly take down two Dogormin. The Day of Battle

When Marvelous and Gai arrived on the Gigant Horse, they stormed into the bridge where the Emperor was and immediately destroyed two Dogormin with their final wave attacks. Farewell Space Pirates

Behind the scenesEdit

PortrayalEdit

Across their appearances, the Dogormin were portrayed by various voice actors and suit actors. The inital pair of Dogormin who appeared in episodes 37 and 38 were voiced by Kōzō Dōzaka (堂坂 晃三, Dōzaka Kōzō^?), Norihisa Mori (森 訓久, Mori Norihisa^?), while Ibuki voiced a Dogormin in 43.

NotesEdit

• The Imperial Guard are mentioned, and their flagship appears in episode 11, The Serious Rebellion, but the Dogormin themselves do not appear.
• The Dogormin are reminiscent of the Emperor's Royal Guard from the Star Wars franchise, in that they are the red-colored bodyguards of the Emperor who are usually seen in duos. Infact the scene in the finale, where Marvelous and Gai arrive on the Gigant Horse's bridge, immediately destroying the two Dogormin at the door with their final wave attacks is reminiscent of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith where Jedi Master Yoda knocks out the Emperor's Royal Guard just as he arrives in the Chancellor's holding office before his duel with Emperor Palpatine.
  • They are also similar to the Dogma Bodyguards, the red/silver bodyguards of Dogma Kingdom's Emperor Terror Macro from Kamen Rider Super-1. Their final appearance in episode 23 of Super-1 predates the original appearance of the Emperor's Royal Guard in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi by over two years.
