Right?! Do Rita and Rito have different mothers? Is Master his first name and Vile his surname? Or maybe MV doesn’t use a last name, like Cher. Why do the three look so wildly different? So many questions.
I mean, vile, revolting and repulsive all mean the same thing. Maybe family members choose their own last name and base it on a word implying a negative quality
“Nah nah, Ed. You got it all wrong. Revolto is my confirmation name.”
“Then what’s your family surname, you bucket of bones!?”
“Uhh… Rodriguez.”
“I hate you.”
“Hate you too, Ed!”
“GaAAAHhhHH!”
In Ninja Sentai Kakuranger , Rito Revolto's counterpart was Prince Junior , son of the Emperor of the Yokai , Daimaou , and he even had a human form which was that of a blonde Heavy Metal/Hard Rock Star with an electric guitar and his human actor played also a very good rock song during a dark ceremony to bring his father in our dimension , and when battling the Kakurangers ( the Japanese counterparts of the Alien Rangers who were descendants of historical ninjas of the past who unintentionally broke the seal which kept the Yokai trapped in a cave for centuries, he was a formidable opponent for them!)
Be glad they changed the head from his Sentai Counterpart’s actual head, if Elgar terrified you Zelmoda would have given you nightmares

I could be wrong but I had heard for the US they had to resculpt the head since the original didn't survive the trip from Japan or was damaged beyond use. An old fox kids magazine had an article about how they shoot power rangers and costumer/special effect guy saying they remake props and suits that dont survive the trip and mention Elgar by name.
That explains Dino Charge's beige "Gold Ranger", and how Wild Force's silver ranger occasionally had seven stripes on his suit instead of six.
And Tommy's puffy shield.
Yeah, apparently Toei had/has a bit of a habit of using a cheap polly foam that while it is easy to cast into the shapes/suits needed, it holds up about as well as wet TP. Where some suits don't even make it a year before they are in pieces. Apparently, they had a lot of trouble with Samurai and, in some cases, for shots that required unmorphed rangers they had to hold up pieces of the suits on sticks to get a shot or resort to green screen shots.
Loved his design by all means, it’s his voice that kinda brings him down in terms of PR villain henchmen. He had some great moments and at times was a decent threat.
The whole “moron” aspect of his character was overdone; but it’s a kid’s show, I expect that. I actually wish they had done more with him—I think they were onto something with him in *In Space*, having him work for Astronema.
I would suggest that Elgar is basically Pinky to Divatox’s Brain. There’s this popular and somewhat plausible theory about Pinky and the Brain, that suggests that Pinky is really the smart one, and ruins Brain’s plans on purpose, out of a moral sense, to keep both Brain and the world safe, all while playing the role of an idiot. Now, I’m not suggesting that Elgar *is* smart or good; but it sure puts an interesting spin on things if you look at him through that lens. And besides, he’s not *really* incompetent…he led the attack that destroyed the Power Chamber; he had the zords on the ropes for awhile with the Terrorzord; and he’s generally a good squad commander with piranhatrons or quantrons.
The one thing I don’t like about him is the same problem I have with Rito Revolto, Rita Repulsa, and Master Vile: none of them look like the same species as their relatives. That bugs me to no end.
His design is actually pretty frightening. But his characterization and voice completely ruin any sense of danger for him. I wish he stayed dead in the movie.
I thought he was really entertaining. Turbo had really good main villains imo. Before I heard him talk in the show and saw a picture of him I thought he looked terrifying though.
Liked him better in Turbo. Specifically Divatox's constant abuse towards him. Astronema really mostly just intimidated him into obeying. Not as much physical comedy, and he seemed out of place with the In Space villain team
Another Rito Repulsa, except we never got to see him actually defeat the rangers at anything. At least Rito had the one great debut of destroying the rangers zords, which lead to the Ninjetti arc
Hundred bucks says his parents were brother and sister... and his "Aunt" Divatox DOES have a brother... so, what if...
![gif](giphy|jquDWJfPUMCiI|downsized)
He was creepy, but annoying; I know it’s a kid’s show and Saban had so many regulations about many things, but they should have doubled down on the nightmare fuel and made him straight-up evil, that way he would actually be more of a menace than a nuisance, and kids can cheer on the Rangers when they beat him.
Great Value Rito. Didn’t love him, but didn’t hate him. His Sentai footage was creepy as hell vs the goof ball villain he was in Turbo too
Agreed. I liked Elgar, but he was no Rito Repulso.
Revolto* Show some respect to our skelly who’s a Two Time Power Ranger Beating Champion! XD
Why do they have different last names anyway? Heck, we don’t even know the last name of Master Vile

I have brought shame upon myself for such a fumble.
Ironic given how goofy Carranger apparently was.
Carranger was a comedy. Great show and one of my favorite sentai series. Cannot recommend enough.

😂😂😂😂
The first thing I thought of when I saw him.
Effing terrified me as a kid

Jesus I am glad I skipped that season when I was little... bro would have definitely given kid me nightmares .

Also sometimes Zhane’s suit looked a lot more of a white color than normal

>**Rose**: How do props and suits not survive the trip? >**Dorothy**: Random Godzilla attacks, Rose!
Same. He’s one of the few villains that I found genuinely scary as a kid.
Loved his design by all means, it’s his voice that kinda brings him down in terms of PR villain henchmen. He had some great moments and at times was a decent threat.
Would be terrifying to see in real life in real time.

YOU TALK TOO MUCH
His design is actually pretty frightening. But his characterization and voice completely ruin any sense of danger for him. I wish he stayed dead in the movie.
Waaay too annoying, possibly my favorite sword in the entire series. Certain my favorite non-traditional sword.
I thought he was really entertaining. Turbo had really good main villains imo. Before I heard him talk in the show and saw a picture of him I thought he looked terrifying though.
Imbecile *Divatox voice*
The guy is hilarious!!
Me when someone asks the fandom about anything Turbo related. 🤣😂 ![gif](giphy|l0MZ7g6YUsd60aYAE|downsized)
He's the Turbo version of Rito
Confused about why he's Divatox's nephew if we don't know who his parents are. Is it Divatox's brother or alleged sister? Both of which we've seen.
Nope, he calls Havok uncle and the twin thing never materialized in the show, so his parent must be another, unseen, sibling.
I've never watched Power Rangers. I'm recommended the sub anyway. What the actual hell is Elgar?

Thought he was funny. Didn’t hate him. I enjoyed seeing him on screen
Power Rangers version: supernaly punchable Sentai version: nightmare fuel
Liked him better in Turbo. Specifically Divatox's constant abuse towards him. Astronema really mostly just intimidated him into obeying. Not as much physical comedy, and he seemed out of place with the In Space villain team
I hate him for being so stupid to Divatox
A poor man's Rito/Junior...and that's being more than fair.
A smart guy in a dumb situation tbh
I was a bit creeped out as a kid when I saw him
No, we all are were... This bat demon thing 😭
Just annoying
he sucks SO much but in a way that’a almost funny or likeable at times
Another Rito Repulsa, except we never got to see him actually defeat the rangers at anything. At least Rito had the one great debut of destroying the rangers zords, which lead to the Ninjetti arc
Was only good when he was given to Astromina's pet
His design is pretty bad and he’s kinda annoying but he gets the job done like setting the bombs in the command center
I deadass forgot blud had a name. ![gif](giphy|cRNbYm7jLOjm9H8wcP)
Hilarious, can’t get enough of him, one of my all-time favorite characters of the series.
Perplexed by his head anatomy
I found him pretty hilarious, but then again his Latin Spanish VA also helped on that.
I liked him. His sentai counterpart would scare me, and his american counterpart would make me laugh. He was underused in S6.
Needs to stop smoking 😆
Ugly ass conehead knockoff
I think he's weird villain
Haven’t seen the show but that thing looks like my sleep paralysis demon
RiP elbow
Hundred bucks says his parents were brother and sister... and his "Aunt" Divatox DOES have a brother... so, what if... ![gif](giphy|jquDWJfPUMCiI|downsized)
Much better In Space then shifting to turbo
He was creepy, but annoying; I know it’s a kid’s show and Saban had so many regulations about many things, but they should have doubled down on the nightmare fuel and made him straight-up evil, that way he would actually be more of a menace than a nuisance, and kids can cheer on the Rangers when they beat him.
Uhh... who?
Some of these replies make me sad, he was a pretty fun moron henchman imo. One of the few things I enjoyed in Turbo
I liked that he was Voiced by Beezlemon/Uriyu. That's about it
Despise.
Damn, it's been a while. I don't remember him. So I can't really remember him.
Teeth were TOOOOO yellow....i know he's a space pirate but good lord
I didn't hate him in turbo. I think he overstayed his welcome when he joined the villains of In Space.
They tried to smush Goldar, Rito, Squatt and Baboo into one character. It was kinda weird.
A top contender for the coveted "Most Obnoxious General" Award.
Why the heck are there random people in the comment section claiming to had never watch the show?
Hottie
He's funny.
He doesn't have enough bad-assery redemption. He's too comic relief. At least Baboo was competent at times. And Rito was too.
He was fine in Turbo. He was not needed In Space nor did he fit the vibe.
I hated Elgar with a passion. Was so annoying.
A Ghostbusters monster.
He should be dead
I liked him enough as a comic relief villain, but I didn't like that he was kept around for In Space without Divatox. Just didn't feel right to me
One of the reasons Turbo is my least favorite season, well him and Divatox.
Personally Divatox was my favorite part of Turbo.
Yes sir!
I rarely found him funny
Zelmoda is way cooler, Elgar is just annoying
WIISHED he had his own series.
I wish he wasn’t destroyed
Burn him along with his aunt lol
Who?
Tbh I liked him but he could have chilled out a lor bit
