Dark Lugiel

"My name is Lugiel. Dark Lugiel. Oh humans, you were such foolish creatures. By my power, your time shall cease."

- Dark Lugiel's introduction upon his reawakening, Your Future.

Dark Lugiel (ダークルギエル) is the main villain of the Ultraman Ginga Series.

Subtitle: Darkness Demon (暗黒の魔神)

Ultraman Ginga
Lugiel appeared at the end of a great conflict between the Ultras and the forces of evil and using the Darkness Spark, he committed the action that gave the conflict its name, the Dark Spark War, transforming every Ultra, Alien, Monster, and Choju into a Spark Doll. Even the appearance of Ultraman Ginga and his Ginga Spark was not enough to stop him and the Ultra was also turned into a doll. However, Lugiel was also turned into a doll, locked inside his Spark Device, like the Ginga Spark and the Spark Doll he fell to Earth, taking a host. As a result, he had his subordinate Alien Valky search around the Earth with Dark Dummy Sparks and Monster/Alien Spark Dolls and give them to corrupt minded individuals. The reason for this is it seems was that the Dark Spark gains power from use of the Dark Dummy Sparks. The rest of the Spark Dolls were kept by him on shelves in a dark, eerie room (later revealed to be Kyoko Shirai's room in Furoboshi Elementary School.)

Alien Valky also reports back to him from time to time, usually about Ultraman Ginga who he seems to fear and loathe, most likely due to their previous battle. His plan is unknown, but he has commented that 'he' (most likely refering to Ginga) has yet to fully awaken. For some reason, every time a Dark Dummy Spark is used, the light on the Dark Spark glows.

After Tomoya switches sides and save Hikaru after their battle, Dark Lugiel sends Tiga Dark to punish him and kill Hikaru. However, even when Tiga Dark grows Alien Valky to assist Tiga Dark, both still defeated by combined effort of Ginga and Jean-nine.

Dark Lugiel later sent out Alien Icarus to attack Hikaru's friends, but the new agent also failed. However, Alien Icarus anticipated it its defeat and fought using multiple Spark Dolls and even Ultra Living itself, creating Tyrant to fight Hikaru who had become Ultraman Tiga. However the timely arrival of Jean-nine ensured his defeat. Afterwards, Dark Lugiel summoned Dark Zagi, and Hikaru transformed into Ginga to fight what was Noa's archenemy, defeating him after a collision of their signature rays. Lugiel later retrieved, Zagi's doll, knowing the Dark Ultra might had a potential to their victory, he would not allow Hikaru to possess such power.

Dark Lugiel soon sent out Alien Nackle Gray as his newest agent.

It was revealed in the latest episode that Dark Lugiel had been in possession of Kyoko Shirai's body the enitre time. When the first Ginga Shrine was burnt down, the principal grabbed hold of the Dark Spark, unaware of its nature and Dark Lugiel, took advantage of the turbulent emotions in her heart, having been driven to depression by news that the elementary school was to be closed down, took control of her. From time to time he fully seized control to perform his dark deeds. Finally, Hotsuma Raido confronted her and told her of her actions controlled by the darkness, to her great distress. Hotsuma then proceeded to purge Dark Lugiel's essence out of her and after some struggling he managed to force the Dark Spark out of her and make it disappear, seemingly freeing Kyoko of Dark Lugiel.

However Hotsuma's efforts appear to have been for naught, for soon Dark Lugiel managed to revive himself fully, forcing the principal to summon him, and destroyed the school altogether. Hikaru transformed into Ginga to face his archenemy, but was soundly beaten after having his rise interrupted. Just when all seemed to be lost, Taro managed to regain his full size and rose to challenge Dark Lugiel.

Both Dark Lugiel and Taro are evenly matched. However, Taro shields himself from Dark Lugiel's attacks in order to revive Ginga, resulting in Taro being defeated by Dark Lugiel. The villain was shocked to see Ginga revived again. The two then transform their Sparks into an energy ance and took their battle to the moon. At the climax, Dark Lugiel fires the Darkness Special Beam, while Ginga uses Ginga Especially. Despite the beams being evenly matched, Ginga charges Ginga Especially to full power, overpowering Dark Lugiel and thereby defeating him. After Dark Lugiel was defeated, all of the Spark Dolls are presumed to have returned to their universe.

Ultraman Ginga S
Two years after his defeat, Alien Chibu Exceller started to steal Victorium crystals from the Victorians to get Dark Lugiel's body, whose remains were still on the moon after his fight with Ginga. Why he is doing this is unknown.

Later on, even when Exceller was defeated as Five King by Ultraman Ginga and Victory, Lugiel's body had already begun to revive due to the Victorium energies already sent to his body, as signified by his glowing eye.

Powers and Abilities

 * Flight : Dark Lugiel possesses flight capabilities fast enough to travel from Earth to the Moon in seconds.
 * Dark Spark : The Dark Spark is the dark counterpart of the Ginga Spark wielded by the villain of the Ultraman Ginga Series. It is said to be an object of Legend in the Land of Light by Ultraman Taro, who described it as having the power to "halt the progress of living beings" as represented in its power to turn beings into Spark Dolls.
 * Spark Doll Transformation : Dark energies from the Dark Spark to transform any being, be they alien, monster or even Ultra, into a Spark Doll. If intended to use on one being, the Dark Spark can fire a red lightning bolt at the target. It is described as 'stopping the time of a lifeform'. After being revived Dark Lugiel attempted to 'stop the time' of all life on Earth but was interrupted.
 * DarkLive : Like the Ginga and Dark Dummy Sparks, the Dark Spark can perform a dark form of Ultra Live called Dark Live, with presumably any Spark Doll. Unlike the Dummy Sparks and seemingly the Ginga Spark, he can free a being from their Spark Doll form permanently. Not only that, the Dark Lived being also move with their own consciousness, albeit still loyal to Dark Lugiel itself. It also can make an Ultra's Spark Doll being DarkLived into the dark version of themselves.
 * Dark Spark Lance : Dark Lugiel can use his powers to create a dark reddish Energy Trident.
 * Dark Dummy Sparks : The Dark Spark has some unknown relation to the Dark Dummy Spark, which are pale imitations to it. When one is active the red stone on it can be seen glowing. Presumably they all come from the Dark Spark.
 * Increase in Power : It was stated by Ginga that every time someone DarkLives using a Dummy Spark, Dark Lugiel grows in power.
 * Possession : Dark Lugiel can forcibly take control of another person who holds the Dark Spark.
 * Dark Energy Beam (Name Unknown) : Dark Lugiel can fire a blast of dark energy from the Dark Spark. It is strong enough to cancel out the Storium Ray.
 * Remote Manipulation :Even when Dark Lugiel transformed into a giant, he could control Kyoko Shirai using his Dark Spark.
 * Dark Energy Bolts (Name Unknown) : Dark Lugiel can fire multiple energy dark bolts from the orb in his chest. It easily destroyed Ultraman Taro's energy shield when combined with the Dark Energy Beam.
 * Dark Lugiel Shoot (ダークルギエルシュート): Dark Lugiel's most powerful attack, Dark Lugiel can charge a spiral galaxy similar to how Ginga charged his Ginga Especially. The Darkness Special Beam is slightly weaker than the Ginga Especially. It's name was not mentioned in the series, but is shown in the PS3/PSVita game Super Hero Generation as Dark Lugiel Shoot.

Trivia

 * Before the airing of the series he was rumored to be the revived form of Alien Empera, revived by Armored Darkness, who served to gather data from his many hosts and masters and those who fought him, ending with Belial and Zero. Following this rumor, the revived emperor's form was said to be due to either the data on numerous Ultras used to revive him, or because he merged with Zero's and Belial's Spark Dolls. At the moment there is no credibility to these rumors.
 * Another rumor also made that Baltan Battler Barel, an Alien Baltan and the main character of the Mega Monster Rush Ultra Frontier, was theorized to be the main villain due to him and Ginga having appeared in the same press conference.
 * Dark Lugiel's voice actor is Tomokazu Sugita, who also voiced Ultraman Ginga.
 * The sound effect when Lugiel fires the energy blasts from his chest is the sound made by several Space Beasts from Ultraman Nexus, mainly Pedoleon.
 * Dark Lugiel's powers seem to mainly revolve around the Dark Spark with only two attacks/abilities having nothing to do with the item.
 * It is suspected by fans that Dark Lugiel may be some form of dark Ultra, given his similarities to Ginga and the fact that his name begins with Dark, something previosly only seen with dark Ultras (Dark Zagi, Dark Faust, Dark Mephisto).
 * Dark Lugiel was the third character to be modelled after Dark Zagi's scrapped Ultimate form, Dark Lucifer preceeded by Ultraman Hikari / Hunter Knight Tsurugi and Arch Belial. Among them, Dark Lugiel is the first one to be non-Ultra.
 * Dark Lugiel has a similar title to Dogouf.
