Joyful Knight Canderrilla

Joyful Knight Canderrilla (喜びの戦騎 キャンデリラ, Yorokobi no Senki Kyanderira) is a former Debo Knight General in the Deboth Army.

She later reformed and became an ally to the Kyoryugers, eventually replacing Torin as the team's mentor, now known as Wise Goddess Canderrilla (賢神キャンデリラ, Kenshin Kyanderira).

History

She is an airheaded, jovial, happy-go-lucky knight, who encourages others like Sorrowful Knight Aigaron to "Keep smiling!" (キープスマイリングよ!, Kīpu Sumairingu yo!). She was the second Knight to be thawed out after the Deboth Army's big freeze. She seems to abhor senseless violence, such as when her fellow Knight forced her lieutenant to grow his fallen Debo Monster Tvicon TV STORY-Brave 3: Get Rough! The Slashing Brave and when her Debo Monster became berserk. Tvicon TV STORY-Brave 5: Boom! The Cavities of Ankydon This caused her to unleash a high-pitch scream of terror.

During the Debo Honenukky incident, she met Nobuharu Udo, Kyoryu Blue, and found a kindred spirit in the pun-spouting Kyoryuger. She said then that she could even come to love him, if they weren't on opposing teams. Tvicon TV STORY-Brave 11: Utchi! How Cool

Supporting Space War God Voldos on Deboth's behalf, Canderrilla fought with her fellow Deboth Knights, plus Vaglass Avatars Enter and Escape in defending Voldos' satellite against the Go-Busters and Kyoryu Silver. Engaging Yellow Buster Powered Custom alongside Luckyulo, Canderrilla was beaten back by the Rapid Kick but soon overwhelmed the three Go-Busters by performing a combined Deboth Finish with the other Knights. However, the Go-Busters persevered and fought back against the Deboth Army, with Canderrilla and Luckyulo being bested by Yellow Buster. Joined by Beet Buster and Stag Buster, the Go-Busters performed their own team finisher which forced the Deboth Knights to fall back, as a result.

In the time following Endolf's "disappearance", she and Aigaron began growing closer, as Aigaron began harboring an affection for her. The Joyful Knight's kindness began rubbing off on Aigaron, and he soon began to regret his old tendencies of killing humans for fun, and the tin man's heart softened. Luckyulo aided Aigaron in numerous attempts to impress Canderrilla, but the Sorrowful Knight's affections still went unnoticed, though the effort did not.

Canderrilla met the blue Kyoryuger once again when she used Debo Kantokku to steal people's hearts. Posing as a potential wife for Nobuharu (in a meeting unknowingly set up by his sister), with Luckyulo posing as her mother, Canderrilla realized that, whether or not she was Deboth, Nobuharu was willing to protect her and stand up for her due to her caring nature, and during this Nobuharu reminded her that she and Luckyulo were created to make people happy, so they could easily learn to live with humans. She aided Nobuharu in defeating her Debo Monster by returning his Gaburivolver to him, though she acted as if it was an accident. After this incident, she was asked by Nobuharu to leave the Deboth Legion. Though she refused, she began to question her standing within the organization. Tvicon TV STORY-Brave 40: Good and Cool! It's Tough Being an Old Man

Once Luckyulo became relieved of her duties within the Deboth Legion, she ran away, prompting Canderrilla to go out searching for her. Since Killbolero had effectively replaced her within the organization, and fearing that she would defect like Torin had done before (while considering how Endolf mentioned that she could be one of the strongest knights yet), Chaos ordered her to be executed. Overhearing this, Aigaron rushed to warn Canderrilla and Luckyulo, having already received a tremendous beating from the forces within the Frozen Palace. Tvicon TV STORY-Brave 45: It Can't Be, Dad! Silver's End Icerondo rushed to confront them, and revealed that Aigaron had been undead from the moment Chaos revived him, and as the dead cannot fully know love, Aigaron's plight was hopeless. Realizing Aigaron's feelings at last, Canderrilla was caught off guard, and was attacked by Icerondo. However, Aigaron took the hit, and was mortally wounded. Ian approached, however, and used Deinosgrander to free the Sorrowful Knight's soul from its metal prison. Aigaron's final act was presenting a severely distraught Canderrilla with a pink flower. Tvicon TV STORY-Brave 46: Great Duel! The Attack of Tears and Love After the Kyoryugers defeated Icerondo, Ian gave Canderrilla the flower that Aigaron had dropped in his final moments, and Nobuharu comforted her. Both asked her and Luckyulo to leave the Deboth Legion and live a new life. This time, she agreed, promising to find her place in the world, as Torin had. Tvicon TV STORY-Brave 47: The Great Counterattack! The Greatest Final Brave

When Torin, Ramirez, and Tessai's raid in Deboth Hell was stopped by Chaos (who had purposefully allowed the new Kyoryu Silver to defeat him to that end), Canderrilla and Luckyulo (in possession of a lantern that allowed him to enter Deboth Hell without being dead) come in to assist the Kyoryuger allies, much to Chaos' shock. Canderrilla, Torin, Ramirez and Tessai perform their special attacks along side each other and defeat Chaos, sending him hurtling against the pillar that held Deboth Hell together, destroying both him and the pillar in a single strike. The three former rangers express their gratitude to both Canderrilla and Luckyulo. Torin also tells them to live a life filled with bravery, before their lifetime reaches its' end.

After the final battle, she cheers up a saddened Nobuharu from the shadows. As both reformed villains try to figure out what should they do now, they notice a lost girl trying to find her mother. Remembering Nobuharu's words, Canderrilla decides to use her powers of joy to bring smiles to all humans on Earth. Luckyulo follows suit and both help the lost girl to find her mother.

2114

100 years after defeating Chozetsushin Deboth, Canderrilla has become the mentor to the new team of Kyoryugers known as Wise Goddess Canderrilla. She misplaces all the original team's Zyudenchi (except #3) only having the five belonging to the other Kyoryugers (Silver, Cyan, Grey, Violet, and Navy) that she gives to the Future Kyoryugers. Later, Torin communicates with her in spirit to help Canderrilla find the other Zyudenchi that are hidden by his team's photo, allowing her to give her team their intended Zyudenchi colors. She also lost her memory (except about the appearance of Nobuharu Udo and the place where Chozetsushin Deboth was born) due to Remorseful Knight Arslevan. She sings the earth melody during the new team's battle so they can reach their full potential. Movieicon MOVIE STORY-Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger Returns: 100 YEARS AFTER

Canderrilla appears as an enemy in the Nintendo 3DS Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger: Game on Gaburincho.

Super Sentai Battle Base

Canderrilla appears as both a villain and a Wise God in the mobile game Super Sentai Battle Base.

Personality

She is slightly vain and a bit of an airhead, but always keeps an upbeat and happy attitude. Since she is the Joyful Knight, she loves to make people happy, even her fellow Knights. When Endolf was about to crush Dogold's face, she actually showed aggression by holding her weapon to his throat and telling him infighting is a good way to stop smiling too. After seeing Aigaron die, she actually showed sadness. After leaving the Deboth Army, she became dedicated to making people smile by helping them. She is also the only living character that finds Nobuharu's jokes funny.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

  • Happiness Empowerment: As the Joyful Knight of the Deboth Army, Canderrilla can siphon and empower herself with human happiness.
  • Human Form: Canderrilla can assume the human disguise as a young woman. So far, only she, and Luckyulo, displayed this ability, of the Debo Knights.
  • Melody: Canderrilla's singing voice can affect and draw the inner darkness of former Deboth armies like Torin. While the melody has no effect on humans, Torin was shown subjected to this due to his evil self in its dormant state. This eventually changed, followed by her redemption into Wise Goddess where she sings the Earth's melody, which empowered the future generations of Kyoryugers with Brave.
  • Evil Sense: As the Wise Goddess (2114 only), Canderrilla can sense the actions of the Deboth Army via the winds.
  • Deboth Finish (章デーボスフィニッシュ, Dēbosu Finisshu): The most powerful attack from The Debo Knights where they call out their respecitve emotions and pile their weapons (Canderrilla's Kyahahalberd axe, Luckyulo's squeaky mallet, Dogold's Kenka Jōtō sword, and Aigaron's Tohohawk axe) on top of each other, which would then focus their energy and fire a purple energy beam with a combination of their symbols. This finisher was strong enough to knock the Go Busters right out of their Powered Custom forms and de-morph them in one hit.
