エスケイプ

Played by Misaki Ayame

First episode: Go-Busters Mission 22

The second Vaglass commander on the show Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.

Like Enter, Escape is an avatar for Messiah. While Enter's mission focuses on progressing all of the Vaglass goals, Escape seems to be only focused on placating Messiah's whims with human suffering.

Clad in black and white, with similar sunglasses to Enter. Her nails are painted black except for pink for the trigger fingers.

While Enter uses physical cards that he slides in his old laptop to create Metaroids, Escape uses virtual cards on what appears to be a tablet to create them. Probably a visual way of distinguishing old from new. It is unknown if she has any superhuman abilities like Enter's CAT5 cable attack.

Personality

Escape only cares if people are strong or not. Perhaps in line with Messiah's mission, she treats things as a game. She laughs often and frequently uses the word "good" a lot. This trait can also be seen being passed down into the Metaroids that she creates.

She refers to Messiah as "Papa" or "Papa Messiah". She is shown to care a lot about Messiah, to the point of tampering with her own data to protect the Messiah back-ups at the risk of malfunction.

When Metaroids refer to her, they call her "Miss Escape."

Upgraded Form

Weapons

Gog (black) and Magog (white) two guns with a dog ornament hanging from them. Escape tends to introduce her guns before herself.

Gog Magog Discussion

There's some confusion as to why the Japanese spell Gog and Magog as Goku and Magoku. After some research, apparently this confusion comes from "Anne of Green Gables", which the guns are named after. Gog and Magog are antique China dogs that sit on the author's mantle. http://aussienut.blogspot.com/2006/10/story-behind-gog-and-magog-well-lmms.html The fact that Escape has dogs on her guns makes this reference irrefutable.

When doing a search for Goku and Magoku and "Anne of Green Gables", a lot of correct Gog and Magog instances come up, as well as many Goku and Magoku instances. When doing a search for Goku and Magoku for Bible refrences, only 2-3 pages show up. From this, it's pretty clear that when "Anne of Green Gables" was brought to Japan, whoever spelled Gog and Magog in Japanese incorrectly spelled it as Goku and Magoku.

There was some theorizing that Goku and Magoku were intentional misspellings by Toei, but in the light of this information, they're just the Japanese way of referring to Gog and Magog.

There's also a secondary reference to Gog and Magog from the Bible. This fits with the name Messiah as an overall Bible motif for the Vaglass.
