"Space Beast Warrior, Girath!"
―Girath's Introduction[src]

General Giluke (ギルーク司令 Girūku Shirei) is the invasion leader of Gozma hailing from Planet Girath (ギラス星 Girasu-sei). While appearing to be trusted by Bazeu to lead the invasion of Earth, he secretly plots on overthrowing Bazoo alongside fellow general Ahames; an initial attempt alongside the Space Beast Marzo failing when prior attempted.Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 6: The Targeted High School Girls

History[]

Changeman[]

Although initially leading the Gozma forces on Earth on his own, he continues to be reprimanded by Bazeu for the continued failures of facing the Changeman. He is further bothered with the arrival of Ahames on Earth; though he wishes to fight alongside her again, Bazeu forbids it knowing of the previous traitorous actions the duo performed working together to overthrow him. It is further hampered when Bazeu decides to only keep one of the two generals around, forcing Giluke to face the Changeman personally when the space lord tells him that he'd only keep either him or Ahames and that victory against the Changeman is the only way to decide which remains.Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 19: Bet on Sayaka!Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 20: Grand Counterattack! Giluke

After failing Bazeu too many times, Giluke puts into plan his final operation: realizing the power of the "Rigel Aura" possessed by girls of planet Rigel as they change into adults, he pursues Nana, a Rigelian brought to Earth for another scheme, believing that bathing within the aura would give him super power. Though with the Changeman protecting her and Ahames arriving to obtain the Rigel Aura for herself, Giluke continues to go after Nana until the aura begins to awaken. But as she emits it from her body, Ahames steals the aura for herself, preventing him from gaining his ultimate desire. With nothing more to fight for, Giluke goes mad and fights the Changeman, withstanding attack after attack until being hit by the Power Bazooka. But as he falls, Bazeu takes his still-living body and throws him into a black hole, finally ridding himself of his failed general.Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 32: Nana!

After his supposed death, Giluke ends up surviving within the space graveyard Bazeu sends him to by fusing his body with that of a dead Space Beast, transforming him into Ghost Giluke (ゴーストギルーク Gōsuto Girūku). Using the Space Beast's powers and abilities and his now ghost-like body from his "death", Giluke haunts both the Changeman and Ahames due to his grudge against them. Bazoo ends up allowing Giluke to get away with it seeing his increased power and tenacity in being able to escape from his "death".Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 38: Ghost BaseballTvicon TV STORY-Ep. 39: Dreadful Hide-and-Seek

Later, he begins to attack Nana once again to reawaken the Rigel Aura within her in order to finally restore himself. Though others, particularly Ahames, try to stop him even in hopes of using or killing Nana, Bazoo lets Giluke attempt this due to his interest in his tenacity and ambitions. After a couple attempts, he is finally able to regain the Rigelian in exchange for her saving Tsurugi. Completing the Black Mass ceremony, Giluke is somehow able to draw the Rigel Aura from her body again, absorbing it and changing with the energies to become Super Giluke (スーパーギルーク Sūpā Girūku).Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 42: The Sailor-Suited NanaTvicon TV STORY-Ep. 43: Super Giluke

With their forces becoming desperate, Giluke is given permission by Bazoo to use any means necessary to win, including turning his own men and generals into Space Beasts as war potential. Booba ultimately rebels against the effort, while Shiima ultimately releases herself from the grip by a combination of the "song of nostalgia" of Waraji and the Changeman. Even his former rival Ahames is transformed into a Space Beast, ultimately destroying the EDF base and killing the powerful female warrior.Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 48: The Pirate Booba's Storm of Love - Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 53: Fiery Ahames!

Finally with no other warriors remaining on the Earth expedition, Giluke is given command by Bazoo to descend in the Gozmard and attack everything, destroying all life on Earth by force. Giluke causes great damage in his attack, but ends up unprepared for a sneak attack by Change Dragon who stabs him in his chest. After surviving the attack, he uses his remaining energy into transforming himself into Giras (ギラス Girasu), the strongest Space Beast. Although extremely impervious, the Changeman attack the wound Tsurugi created in his chest in a bombardment of attacks before finally destroying him with the Power Bazooka. After Gyodai rebuilds him, Giras continues to show his power until the Changeman thrust Change Robo into the wound, shocking him with Earth Force until finally destroying him with the Super Thunder Bolt, destroying the general once and for all.Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 54: Giluke Grand Explosion!

Behind the Scenes[]

Portrayal[]

In all his apparitions, Giluke was portrayed by the late actor Shouhei Yamamoto (山本昌平 Yamamoto Shohei), who was also the real-life father to actress Tokie Shibata, who played Nana. Outside of Super Sentai, Yamamoto also appeared on numerous tokusatsu series.

Design[]

Giluke and all his other forms were designed by Yutaka Izubuchi (出渕裕 Izubuchi Yutaka), using Yamamoto's likeness as Changeman's cast were already decided during the design phase. Initially, Giluke's concept art portrayed him as a bald, pointy-eared humanoid with pale white and black skin wearing a gold crown, but this was abandoned and instead Giluke was given a helmet. This was due to either the costume department found Izubuchi's concept difficult to realize or they mistook it for a helmet. Furthermore, Yamamoto also inputted his own idea of painting Giluke's face gold instead of white, further deviating from the original concept.

Izubuchi designed Ghost Giluke based on the stage costumes used in the 1978 Japanese production of Princess Medea, in which Jusaburo Tsujimura served as art director. In addition, Izubuchi also intentionally made Ghost Giluke's face to be painted white to return Giluke to his original concept. Izubuchi designed Super Giluke based on the Halkan Commander, also portrayed by Shohei Yamamoto in the 1978 series Star Wolf. Izubuchi also noted that Super Giluke resemble the Inca Venusians from the 1960 series National Kid.[1]
