"I am Huntelder."
―Hunterji's first words when meeting Ginis,[src]

"Heh heh heh. It seems it's my turn now. To be honest, I always thought Jag'd was a bit of a greenhorn."
―Hunterji after Dorobozu's death.[src]

"The target number for my hunt on this world will be 1000. And in just one day. Hu hu ha ha ha ha! (Azald mocks him for talking a big game which he can't possibly live up to). I heard that. When we next meet, I will also be a Team Leader... Maybe then you'll show some respect for your elders. Heh heh heh."
―Hunterji setting the objective of his Blood Game and leaving for Earth.[src]

"Excellent... A set of all five will make an excellent trophy. This is gonna be quite the hunt. I'll pin then down and take them out."
―Hunterji when spying on the Zyuohgers.[src]

"Ho ho ho ha ha ha! Uh hu ha ha ha ha ha ha! And now no one can get in my way! Another 423... It's just a matter of time--"
―Hunterji after turning Tusk into a doll.[src]

"Curses! How did you--?! I know I shot you! Curse your tricks!"
―Hunterji when Leo smashed his riffle.[src]

"Wait! Don't!"
―Hunterji reacting to the Zyuoh Shoot coming at him and his final words before his initial defeat.[src]

"You've got my thanks, Naria. Now I can hit them with the big guns!"
―Hunterji upon being enlarged.[src]

"If I only had... ammunition!"
―Hunterji's final words before his death.[src]

Hunterji (ハンタジイ Hantaji) was a hunter-themed Player.

History[]

One of just two remaining Players from Team Jagged, Hunterji comes to the Sagittari Ark to meet with Ginis alongside the other member of Team Jagged Dorobozu. They wish to become new Team Leaders but Quval has his doubts about their abilities due to how little a fight Jagged put up against the Zyuohgers. As such, Ginis decides to make them prove their worthiness by assigning them their own Blood Game each to carry out. To decide who will be the first to go, Dorobozu and Hunterji play rock paper scissors which Dorobozu loses by playing paper to Hunterji's scissors but his teammate lets the disappearing Player go first instead. Once Dorobozu returns with a briefcase of money and reveals his plan to steal all of the money in the world to cripple Earth's economy, Quval criticizes him for how long that would take and Hunterji regrets allowing him to go first. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 14: The Dummy-Style Lying Thief

After Dorobozu has had his chance and been slain, Hunterji decides to use his hunting skills to turn Earthlings into dolls (including the Zyuohgers) and hopefully gain him Ginis' favor. Hunterji cleans his riffle as he remarks how he never truly respected Jagged before shooting a Continue Medal out of the sky when Naria tosses it out of boredom. This leaves a big gaping hole in the middle of the Continue Medal much to even Ginis' surprise and Hunterji reveals that he intends to turn one thousand people into dolls and all of this in a single day. The Player turns to leave but, when Azald mocks him for talking a big game but just being full of it, Hunterji turns and destroys a glass Azald wants to pick up and promises that he will return as a Team Leader before exiting. As Leo and Tusk bicker about the bad weather and laundry, thier Zyuman instincts alert them to Hunterji's presence and they go to Tokyo's central plaza to find a bunch of dolls but no Player. As they examine the dolls however, Hunterji (crouched on a nearby rooftop) takes a shot and immediately turns Sela into a doll at which time they henshin and try and spot the Player even as Hunterji clears his riffle's chamber and decides to take them all as trophies. Though Yamato then spots Hunterji with his eagle vision, Hunterji fires at Amu but Yamato shields her at the cost of his mobility which allows the remaining three Zyuohgers to run for cover. With no-one left to hunt, Hunterji withdraws from Earth entirely because he has run out of ammo capable of turning them into dolls.

Back at the Sagittari Ark, Hunterji reloads his riffle even as Naria admits that they are impressed by him already getting 500 victims in one attack. After mocking Azald for his earlier ageism, Hunterji returns to finish the hunt with Ginis' blessing. After Leo and Tusk agree to improvise to defeat Hunterji, said Player returns to Earth on a rooftop overlooking a major shopping area and begins converting people into dolls once more. The three Zyuohgers and, whilst Hunterji clears his riffles chamber, stand back to back and reveal their plan; there is a three second delay between Hunterji reloading and firing. As such, even if one of them is converted, at least one of the other two will be able to reach him. Amu spots the sun reflecting off his riffle on a distant rooftop but is converted into a doll immediately after so Tusk and Leo charge so fast that Hunterji is unable to get a good shot and he can't risk missing due to limited ammo. When Leo and Tusk parkour up to the rooftop, they find it empty and start arguing about it but have to dive for cover indoors when Hunterji opens fire from a different sniping position. Though he follows them with a barrage of lasers narrowly missing them several times over, they manage to escape into a warehouse where they settle their previous differences and devise a plan.

Shortly thereafter, Hunterji (who has spent the last five minutes pacing his rooftop) spies Tusk coming out strapped to Leo and is confident that this strategy will make them unable to dodge his attacks. Hunterji successfully turns what he thinks is Leo and Tusk into dolls together and turns to leave but Leo instead jumps in and tackles his sniper riffle out of his hands. Leo then smashes Hunterji's riffle over his leg, restoring all four hundred and twenty two victims to normal in an instant. Hunterji is understandably taken aback as he just turned Tusk and Leo into dolls so how is he here? As it turns out, the "Leo" that Tusk was tied to was actually a dressed up mannequin from inside the warehouse that was duct taped to Tusk's back and the distraction allowed Leo to sneak up on him. Hunterji is furious but the Zyuohgers henshin (Yamato becoming Zyuoh Gorilla) and do their roll call but Moebas descend from descend from the atmosphere and fight them. As they do so, Hunterji tries to obliterate the Zyuohgers with shoulder blasts but they destroy the Moebas instead and Zyuoh Gorilla punches Hunterji clean off the building. Landing upright, Hunterji narrowly ducks all five Zyuohgers swinging on a vine towards him but the return swing sends him flying so he throws his moustache like a boomerang at them but Leo charges in with his Zyuoh Buster Sword Mode and overwhelms Hunterji even with the interference of the Player's boomerangs. At one point, Leo even grabs Hunterji and makes his own moustache boomerangs hit him before cutting him down where Tusk then puts him through his own gauntlet using his Zyuoh Buster Gun Mode. As Hunterji flees, the Zyuohgers combine thier Zyuoh Buster shots for the Zyuoh Shoot which slams into Hunterji with lethal force as he falls on his back and explodes.

However, Ginis is so impressed by Hunterji's performance that he orders Naria to give him a second chance and she obeys. She teleports down and enlarges Hunterji by placing a Continue Medal on his corpse, enlarging the Player who thanks her. Hunterji then fires his shoulder cannons at the Zyuohgers but they dodge and summon thier Zyuoh Cubes to form ZyuohKing and ZyuohWild. Outnumbered and completely unarmed, Hunterji resorts to his ultimate weapon by bracing against a building and kicking his feet at the Giant Robos which fire massive fiery bullets. Though these cause large explosions and severely shake up the mecha, they take cover and his leg gun is soon out of bullets entirely. and ZyuohWild shoots him in the face from the Wild Buster before ZyuohKing kicks him flat. Recovering, Hunterji tries to use his moustache boomerang but the mecha separate into their Cube forms and form Wild ZyuohKing. Though Hunterji charges, they summon Cube Kuma as well ans Wild ZyuohKing uses its axe form to destroy the Player with the Kuma Axe Zyuoh Impact. All Hunterji can do is lament that he had no ammunition left to use before faceplanting and exploding, marking the very permanent end of Team Jagged. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 15: The Shiver-Raising Sniper

Hunterji is later "revived" by Bangray after scanning Tusk's memory of him. He is also joined by the revived Trumpus and Amigard but all three are destroyed by Zyuoh The World Crocodile Form's "Zyuoh The Finish" finisher. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 24: Revived Memory

Personality[]

Hunterji acted much like a poacher as he loved to hunt things and sadistically taunting them whilst also possessing a large amount of disrespect for his late Team Leader due to him being weak. He also possessed a lot of ambition, coming to Ginis to become one of the top brass of the Deathgalien. Hunterji's most defining characteristic was his supreme confidence, setting a ridiculous goal for just a single day's hunt and mocking Azald for doubting him. However, he was a good sport and even kind to Dorobozu despite winning rock paper scissors and being in competition with him. After his riffle was destroyed and his victims restored, Hunterji became extremely vengeful and angry about him losing his sole advantage and became relentless in stopping the Zyuohgers.

Powers and Abilities[]

Powers[]

  • Durability-Hunterji was not hurt by a very powerful punch to the stomach from Zyuoh Gorilla nor the fact that punch knocked him off his building onto concrete.
  • Higemerang (ヒゲメラン Higemerann): Hunterji could pull his moustache from his face to throw it as a boomerang.
    • Higemerang Control-Hunterji seemed to have telepathic control over his boomerangs since they followed Leo and tried to defend him to no avail.
  • Shoulder Gun: Hunterji had a pair of mounted guns on his shoulders that allowed Hunterji to shoot giant orange fire balls capable of obliterating a large group of Moebas with one hit.
  • Combo: Nice Hunting (楽しい狩りじゃ Tanoshi Kakija): Hunterji's signature combo move where Hunterji used his rifle to fire a special bullet that would turn his target(s) into dolls.
  • Equilibrium-Hunterji remained standing despite being shot repeatedly in the feet by Tusk's Zyuoh Buster.
  • Leg Gun: Hunterji had a pair pair of guns located in the sole of his right leg that was his ultimate weapon which he fired by bracing himself and kicking his legs sideways at the enemy to fire giant orange energy bullets.

Abilities[]

  • Quick Reactions-Hunterji was able to duck all five Zyuohgers swinging at him on a vine with an instant's notice.
  • Marksmanship: Hunterji could utilize his shooting skills with extreme precision such as shooting a Continue Medal out of the air and blasting a glass apart with a single shot.
    • Sharpshooting-Hunterji was able to shoot one of Naria's Continue Medals out of the air with a single shot.
    • Sniping-An extension of Hunterji's marksmanship skills was that he was an exceptionally good sniper capable of hitting things from dozens of feet away.

Weaknesses[]

  • Reload Time-Hunterji needed three seconds to reload before firing again which gave Leo and Tusk enough time to get to cover repeatedly.
  • Running Victims-Hunterji's hunting tactics relied on his victims walking or being stationery. The Player was unable to hit people when they were running due to not being able to lock onto them and limited ammo meant that he couldn't afford to miss.
  • Riffle Destruction-Hunterji's riffle was the source of his doll transformation powers. When Leo destroyed it, all of his victims were thusly restored.
  • Hand to Hand Combat-Hunterji relied upon his riffle and energy blasts in combat as he was basically useless in an outright brawl.
  • Limited Ammo-Although an extremely skilled hunter, Hunterji had very limited ammo when it came to his doll creating ammo and had to retreat to resupply. The same applied to his leg based gun and this was his undoing.

Arsenal[]

  • G-15 Rifle (G(ジイ)-15ライフル Ji Jugo Raifuru): Hunterji's signature weapon was a sniper rifle that he used to hunt his victims and fire red energy lasers at them.

Profile[]

  • Medal Slot: Left side of Gut.
  • Blood Game: Sniping 1,000 humans and turning them into dolls by the end of the day.
  • Genre: Sniper Shooting.
