Messiah (Go-Busters)

Main antagonist for the series Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.

The megalomaniacal AI computer that takes over the Transport Research Center. He is sent with the Center into a sudimension to prevent him from taking over the world through the Internet. He is represented as a CGI skull that communicates to Enter.

History

Messiah is a mysterious artificially intelligent virus that takes over the Transport Research Center on Christmas day thirteen years prior to the beginning or the series, to prevent him from reaching the outside world, the scientists working there transport the entire center into a subdimension.

Personality

While Messiah is a powerful AI that manages not only to survive, but to thrive in the subdimension he acts very primitive and almost childish. He speaks in simple terms, only looks at short term goals and is quick to anger and threaten, much to Enter's annoyance.

Once Enter shows him the power and freedom he would gain, he becomes obsessed with creating even more pocket subdimensions so he can visit Earth. When Enter does not comply with his wishes, he creates Escape to do so.

Composition

Aside from being a rogue AI, Messiah also absorbs the various scientists from the Transport Research Center and enslaves them, they are renamed the "Creators", as they are the ones who create the various megazords Enter and Escape summon from the subdimension.

Appearance

Messiah is initially shown when communicating with Enter in a digital space portrayed as being in the subdimension, he is eventually shown in the pocket-subdimensions on Earth that the Megazords create. In both cases, he is presented as a big reddish CGI skull.

Eventually, Enter is able to help Messiah evolve into a physical form that resembles a powered-up Metaroid.

Evolution

Enter, speeding up his process to help Messiah evolves, kidnaps Dr. Kudou and threatens his daughter. While the Go-Busters manage to save the doctor and his daughter and slow down Messiah's evolution Enter still gathers enough data to let Messiah take on a physical form.

Eventual Destruction and the Messiah Cards

After the Go-Busters manage to overcome their attachment to the staff at the Transport Research Center they destroy Messiah and assuming that he, Enter and Escape have all been destroyed, leave the subdimension.

However, Enter and Escape both manage to survive. Enter, having previously created a set of backups for Messiah, initiates what he calls a "Game", in which the backup cards for Messiah are strewn all over the city where they will continue to grow and evolve, eventually losing their personalities and becoming Messiah once again after enough data on whatever topic they're focused on is gathered.
