This article is about a villain in Uchu Sentai Kyuranger. |
Ikargen (イカーゲン Ikāgen) was an assassin of Space Shogunate Jark Matter and one of the people who was responsible for killing Big Bear, the other being Mardakko.
Character History
Debut
With Mardakko, Ikargen was sent to Earth by Don Armage in order to eliminate the insurgent Kyurangers, arriving following the loss of Karo Eriedrone. On the district of Daikaan Denvil, the pair passed by Stinger and asked him if he had seen the Kyurangers. Stinger answered the assassins by meeting them in battle as Sasori Orange. Quickly finding both of them to be more than a match, Stinger was forced to escape, successfully eluding the pair who he realized were a force to be reckoned with. Though they would soon after witness the fall of Denvil at the hands of KyurenOh, the pair lost no confidence in their vow to eliminate the Kyurangers. TV STORY-Space.6: Flap! Dancing Star
The arrival of the assassins was disclosed to the Kyurangers on the ORION by Stinger. Recognizing them, Shou Ronbou warned that they were a vicious duo and that the Kyurangers were to retreat if they were to meet them. Soon after, Ikargen and Mardakko intercepted the team of five Kyurangers including Stinger who were sent to fight Toome. Proving to be more than a match for five Kyurangers together, the pair's appearance led Shou to order the Kyurangers to retreat in their Kyutamas. Later on, Stinger and Lucky faced Space Ikadevil of Shocker, a monster whom the former confused for Ikargen. TV STORY-Space.7: Take Back the Birthday!

Death
The Kyurangers figure out Ikargen's foresight weakness, but cannot figure out a way to beat it until Shou Ronbou's operation sends them to test out his theory. Just when they do, Ikargen defeats them with ease until he is bested by Lucky and has his foresight crystals destroyed. The Kyurangers go all out and defeats Ikargen, both on ground and in robot.
