The Duke of Trump (トランプ公爵 Toranpu Kōshaku) was a deck of cards-themed Gorma Minion who serves as the main antagonist of Gosei Sentai Dairanger the Movie. He can combine with the Gorma Minions of the Revived Monster Corps (再生怪人軍団 Saisei Kaijin Gundan)[1] to form Great King Ojaru (オジャル大王 Ojaru Daiō).
History[]
Great King Ojaru
A strange man whose power involved the control of various magical artefacts. His main one involved a strange deck of cards: anyone touched by a card will become infected, first turning into a humanoid card, then ultimately into a playing card themselves. He also has a magic silk hat that can shrink down anyone trapped within it, as he does to Shouji, Kazu and Daigo, as well as can use a magic Ace of Spades for creating windstorms or for flying. When the Dairanger finally corner him, he uses four more magic cards to bring back Baron String, Lipstick Songstress, Purse Priest and Key Jester; but after enlarging and discovering the Dairanger had Dairen'Oh, he decides to fuse all of them together into himself, forming Great King Ojaru. Though tough, the Dairanger finally cut him down with the Raging Hurricane Waves.
