Zuteru-S of the Mach is a copepod-theme Matroid of the Machine Onslaught Empire Matrintis. Also he was the main antagonist in episode 35 of the 2010 TV series called Tensou Sentai Goseiger.
He was voiced by Isshin Chiba who later voiced Zarudan Hou from the 2018 TV series called Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger.
History[]
Zuteru-S was built for the collection of humans in order to assist in building the Matrintis Empire. When the Goseiger try to face him at first, Zuteru-S criticizes the team for not having a true leader, stating that without a leader, they had no chance to defeat him.
Hurt by those words, the Goseiger decide to create a leadership position to free the human prisoners, but each one ends up messing up the scenario worse: by the time Zuteru-S confronts the Goseigers in his lair, Moune ends up flying right into an attack and leads the team into a worse situation. Ultimately, the team decides to work using their own individual advantages and the guidance of Alata in order to weaken the Matroid before defeating him with the Super Gosei Dynamic.
After being grown with BB Nails, Zuteru-S uses his superiority in the air to defeat the Goseiger who try and fail to keep up with Skyick Gosei Great to defeat the flying Matroid. However based on a crazy idea of Alata, Gosei Ultimate is summoned to fly Gosei Great for combat, allowing for the formation of Ultimate Gosei Great. Using the combination of both mecha, the team finally outmaneuver Zuteru-S and scrap him with an Ultimate Great Strike.
Personality[]
Zuteru was an arrogant, ruthless, devious and tyrannical matroid, who would stop at nothing at fulfilling his mission. He was shown to be quite cunning, intelligent and calculating and was determined to finish his mission to collect the people of Tokyo needed by his master Robogog in order to create a human slave camp. Zuteru was completely loyal to his overlord Robogog and his right-hand Metal Alice and was always polite and friendly to them, loyally carrying the evil emperor's orders, such as enslaving and kidnapping innocent people from the name of his master. Also Zuteru was proud of his species, the Matrintis Empire, always calling Matrintis the greatest empire in the universe and considering it the superior species over the humans. He also criticized Goseigers for their equal places in their team and not having the leader. Overall, Zuteru was an supremacist and totalitarian, who was proud of his species and was fanatically loyal to Robogog and Metal Alice, even his final words were the pride of serving the emperor Robogog and sacrificing himself in order to help Robogog.
However, Zuteru was also highly arrogant and confident in himself, and similarly to the most villains in fiction he partially underestimated the abilities of the Goseigers and was eventually outsmarted and beaten, even despite his clever tactics.
