Changes: Witch Bandora

Revision as of 19:35, 10 November 2015

This article is about a villain in Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger.

Witch Bandora (魔女バンドーラ, Majo Bandōra) is an evil witch and arch-nemesis of the Zyurangers.

Biography

170 million years ago, Bandora was originally Queen of the Dall Tribe, but went mad with grief when her son Kai was killed by a Tyrannosaurus for smashing its eggs. Swearing revenge, Bandora sold her soul to Great Satan for great magical powers but in doing so lost all memory of Kai, leading her to wage war on the other tribes and driving the dinosaurs to the brink of extinction before the Guardian Beasts sealed her and her followers away on the planet Nemesis. In 1992, she and her minions were unwittingly released by a group of astronauts and Bandora resumed her mission to turn Earth into a barren wasteland but was frequently opposed by the Zyurangers who had been put in magical stasis to awaken and protect the Earth should Bandora ever escape.

Due to her contract with Dai Satan, Bandora possesses seemingly limitless magical powers including energy blasts, teleportation, and the ability to enlarge her monsters by invoking underworld spirits to infuse the Dora Monsters with their power. As the memories of her own son have been stripped from her, Bandora especially hates children and frequently goes out of her way to harm them or use them as pawns in her various plans. Like most Sentai arch-enemies, she gets especially furious when her plans fail, often lashing out at her underlings and developing stress headaches. She also at times displays a humorous eccentricity; breaking out into her theme song, Dora! The Song of Witch Bandora whenever things go in her favor or going on a crash diet to the point that she couldn't even properly use her magic.

During the finale, Bandora loses her powers after shedding tears over Kai's second death, as a witch only loses her power upon crying. Powerless, Bandora was sealed away once more by Daizyujin along with her henchmen. During the last time we see her, she is overwhelmed by the cuteness of Grifforzer and Lamie's son and cradles him around.

+'''Witch Bandora''' (魔女バンドーラ, ''Majo Bandōra'') is an evil witch and arch-nemesis of the Zyurangers.
-She has seemingly unlimited magical abilities, including enlarging [[Grifforzer]], [[Lamie]], and her [[Dora Monsters]], and she serves as the arch-nemesis of the Zyurangers. Hates children as of the current day when she completely forgot about her son Kai as there is a kind of forgetfulness that comes with madness. Because of that, she simply focused on attacking innocent children and using them as her victims and simply focused on her aims for world domination.

-She occasionally sings her theme song, ''Dora! The Song of Witch Bandora'', which was first sung after [[Burai]] first appeared. Has a bad habit of getting extremeli furious when defeated in a hilarious manner and gets headaches at times, only to be comforted by her fellow warriors like Grifforzer. Does crazy things like going on a crash diet as well as sometimes firing her powers at her followers when they fail her, which is quite stereotypical for sentai arch-enemies, in her case as the arch-enemy of the Zyurangers.

-Ironically, Bandora loses her powers after shedding tears over Kai's second death, as a witch only loses her power upon crying.

During the last time we see her, she is overwhelmed by the cuteness of Grifforzer and Lamie's son and cradles him around.
-Unlike most evil queens that usually died in Sentai, she was simply sealed off after her last defeat and haf a funny side too.
