Ever since the ancient times, the Dark Science Empire Desdark has
always been lying in shadows, manipulating the progress of various
sciences that usually led to destruction of many human lives, as well as
being responsible of the collapse of various ancient civilizations. In
the present time, Dr. Hideki Hongou, already aware of the existance of
Desdark, formed the Future Science Laboratory in order to one day
counter the rise of Desdark and teach the future about constructive
and good science.
During one of his trips to Wolfborg Castle in Germany, Dr. Hongou
was ambushed by Desdark soldiers, with its leader, Führer Taboo,
declaring that the time has come for Desdark to launch its goal of
world conquest. Hongou was fortunately near a passing-by word class
explorer, Ken'ichi Akama. Once the assault ended, Hongou drafted
Ken'ichi to become the first member of Great Squadron Goggle V and along
with the already-formed Computer Boys And Girls, gathered four more
individuals to complete the team. Thus their battle to fight evil by
Desdark began.
Once one of Desdark's great generals Grand Marshall Desmark
arrived, the attacks by Desdark became more intense, culminating in
one of his plans to have one of his subordinates (Mazurka) successfully
infiltrate the Future Science Laboratory and blew it up. Despite the
destruction of their base, the Goggle V evacuated to a smaller scale
base and launched a counterattack, which eventually defeated not only
Desdark, but also Führer Taboo and ended the threat of Desdark
forever.
The Villains : Dark Science Empire Desdark
From the time when iron was discovered in ancient Turkey, the Dark Science Empire Desdark have existed to move the world in the shadows. United by Fuehrer Taboo, they are based from the Dark Giant Castle Destopia
that launches giant robots from its gate. It is usually underwater, but
it can fly. When in flight, its high-power propulsion winds wreak
destructive chaos underneath.
- Führer Taboo :
A one-eyed 'super gene' product of genetic engineering that hides
behind a translucent wall. He is merciless and unforgiving and seeks to
reform the Earth in his image. During the final episode, Goggle Red
attacked him in one on one battle thrusting him thus revealing the
monster he really was in the process behind his translucent wall. When
the Desdark Castle was destroyed, he finally appeared in giant form
hoping to destroy the Goggle-V. He was ultimately destroyed by Goggle
Robo with the eye-poking Electron Galaxy Missile when the default final
attack didn't work on him.
- General Desgiller :
A swordsman field commander in black. He is rivals with Goggle Red and
close allies with Mazurka. However he betrayed Mazurka by trying to use
her as a bomb. However Mazurka was able to counter and the base exploded
along with him. However he was found alive and nursed back to health by
the Goggle-V team until he was well to fight with them again. He showed
no gratitude to the enemy by revealing the location of their new hiding
place to Desmark. He piloted the last of the Kongs, Bear Kong before
his death after the defeat of Bear Mozoo which he threatened Desmark in
the process to use the robot.
- Mazurka (Mazuruka) :
The first female field commander introduced. Armed with Dark Sword
Black Thunder sword. Serves Desdark faithfully and with extreme
fierceness against those who oppose Desdark. She dies when showered with
the powerful Hightron energy that makes her invisible and intangible
while draining her life force considerably. She was expected to die from
the process and the necklace given to her by Desdark would explode for
in reality it was a bomb. She took the control from Desgiller and set
the bomb to try to destroy Desgiller, but failed.
- Grand Marshal Desmark :
A Pharaoh-like commander brought back to life by Taboo. He executed
both Iguana and Zazoriya to reorganize Desdark as Fuehrer Taboo ordered
him to. He was the last to be destroyed before the emergence of Fuehrer
Taboo with Goggle Golden Spear.
- Bella and Beth :
The faceless warriors in purple and blue who can assume human forms.
They are the twin handmaidens of Desmark. Were fight as two young feisty
girl warriors. They were destroyed alongside Desmark.
- Dr. Zazoriya :
A Desdark Scientist dressed as a scorpion-woman who builds mecha-motif
robots. An occasional rival of Doctor Iguana. She was put to death by
Desmark.
- Dr. Iguana : A Desdark Scientist dressed as an iguana-man who builds beast-motif robots. He was put to death by Desmark.
- Madaramen : The android foot soldiers in camouflage-colored tights.
This Super Sentai series was very popular in Indonesia during the mid-1980s. It was readily available in VHS and Betamax format for rental during that time. Goggle V was so popular, it's the only Super Sentai that has a Live Stage Show in Jakarta.
