This article is about a villain in Denji Sentai Megaranger. |
Dr. Hinelar (ドクターヒネラー Dokutā Hinerā), formerly cybernetic scientist Dr. Samejima (鮫島博士 Samejima-hakase), a human who betrayed Earth and was appointed the leader of the Wicked Electric Kingdom Nezirejia's Earth invasion force by Evil Electro-King Javious I. He is the main antagonist of Denji Sentai Megaranger.
History[]
Prior to his conversion, Dr. Samejima worked for I.N.E.T. alongside Prof. Eikichi Kubota with whom he developed a series of power suits designed for combating invaders from parallel dimensions. Unfortunately, during the test run of the prototype, his beloved daughter wore the suit and was killed. The same accident left Samejima scarred and destroyed his reputation.
Following his daughter's death, Samejima discovered a strange "twisted dimension" called Nezirejia and obsessively worked on a way to cross into it. Though Kubota pleaded for him to wait until they could determine the full nature of Nezirejia, Samejima had waited long enough and used an inter-dimensional transportation device of his own design and disappeared. Though Kubota believed his former colleague and friend to have died, Samejima had not only survived the transfer but was able to rise to a leading position in Nezirejia's hierarchy.

Years later, Samejima would return to Earth as Dr. Hinelar, leader of the King Javious' Earth invasion force, alongside his two creations Shibolena and Yugande. After destroying Kubota's laboratory, he appeared before the five Megarangers Kubota had chosen to defend Earth and demonstrated the extent of Nezirejia's dark science by having Bibidebi inject Rhino Nezire with a growth virus of his own design. After repeated failures, Hinelar found himself having to deal with the interference of the elite warrior Guirail whom Javious had sent to aid in the invasion. Following Guirail's betrayal and sacrifice of Yugande, an enraged Dr. Hinelar tricked Guirail into taking the NeziGen capsule he had originally intended for Yugande, not telling Guirail that its design was incomplete and would turn him into a psychotic beast. After Guirail was killed by the Mega Voyager, Hinelar recovered his remains and used them as the basis for a new breed of warriors, the Psycho-Nezilar.
Hinelar later plotted and successfully killed Javious through the Nezirangers, to become the new high leader of the Neziregians. After the destruction of Javious, the Nezire dimension closed making Hinelar build Hinelar City (ヒネラーシティ Hinerā Shiti) in which he intended to concentrate all mankind as data cards and modify them into subservient subjects of his new kingdom. Though Megarangers destroyed his city and freed everyone, Hinelar learned their civilian identities and made them into pariahs when he attacked them in their school. Soon after Yugande's and Shibolena's demises, Hinelar gained a second 'fighting' form to battle the Megarangers himself. However, while he survived the Multi Attack Rifle/Drill Sniper Custom combo attack, the device that kept his body from warping on itself (a side effect from being in Nezirejia) was damaged in the attack and retreated into the Death Neziros, turning it into Grand Neziros to pilot it. But on the verge of death while willing his body from collapsing on itself, Hinelar decides to trigger Grand Neziros's self destruct to kill everyone in the city. But the Megarangers sacrifice Mega Voyager to prevent Hinelar from taking everyone down with him. However, it would later be revealed that Hinelar created Hizumina, a sister unit to Shibolena who attempted to avenge her creator a year after his death.
Personality[]
A cold-hearted sociopath who turned his back on humanity, Hinelar placed his faith in science and is adamant that his method of improving people to remake them into perfect lifeforms is correct. Despite his ruthlessness and insanity,Dr. Hinelar displayed a sense of loyalty and care for his subordinates, especially Yugande and Shibolena, having modeled Shibolena after his late daughter and not only rebuilding Yugande twice over the course of the series but avenging him for Guirail's betrayal. As he died trying to take the Megarangers down with him in his final battle, he even asks the by-now-destroyed Shibolena and Yugande to watch him in his final moments.
