Precious in GoGo Sentai Boukenger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Precious (プレシャス Pureshasu?) are fictional artifacts that are the focus for each Task (episode) of the Japanese tokusatsu series GoGo Sentai Boukenger. For an artifact to be considered a Precious, it must be physically or technologically superior to any current human technology. It is the responsibility of the Search Guard Successor Foundation to retrieve these items before any of the various members of the Negative Syndicate can use the Precious' powers for evil. Each Precious has a different "Hazard Level" according to the scans of the Accellular, the Boukengers' personal communicator and transformation device; the higher the number, the more important or dangerous the Precious is. When a Precious is collected by the Boukengers, it is contained within a collapsable box that is found often in a card-like shape. These can be as small as a toaster oven to one the size of a large building, depending on the size of the Precious held within.
[edit] Heart of Gordom
The Heart of Gordom (ゴードムの心臓 Gōdomu no Shinzō?) with the Brain of Gordom is the Gordom's underwater energy system and relic. Gajah used this to revive the Gordom God by dipping it in water which made the Heart turn red. While the Boukengers were in the shrine where they found it (they first had to cross a trap bridge across magma), it multiplied into about thirty copies when Souta touched it. The copies would explode when touched (fortunately, Natsuki foresaw Souta's destruction and saved him). Gajah took the real one when they found it, but the Boukengers took it into S.G.S. custody after defeating the Gordom God.

[edit] Brain of Gordom
The Brain of Gordom (ゴードムの脳髄 Gōdomu no Nōzui?) with the Heart of Gordom its the Gordom's underwater energy system and relic. Gajah and Ryuuwon fought for the rights to claim this relic and had to join forces when the Boukengers interfered with Ryuuwon's search for it. Upon seizing the Brain, Gajah betrayed Ryuuwon by sealing him in stone, but he broke out and defeated him. Soon afterwards, BoukenRed knocked him off a cliff. It is currently in the Boukengers' hands.

[edit] Three Blades of National Leadership
The Three Blades of National Leadership (三国覇剣 Sangoku Haken?) were sought by Dark Shadow. Two of the Blades, the Seiryuutou (a katana) and the Jabou (a naginata) were combined into one sword that was wielded by Jougami. The last blade, the Soukoken (a double-blade), was in the possession of a systems-engineer, but because of Souta (who, in Ranger form, saved his life with the Blow Knuckle during a free fall; the engineer discovered Souta's identity in the process), he gave it to the Boukengers (which gave DaiBouken a power surge) —he even deceived Shizuka with a fake bamboo roll (which had his picture on it; he wore the real one around his abdomen) —as well as the other two Blades, which he picked up shortly before Jougami was terminated. The engineer learned the true meaning of "adventure" during the episode.

[edit] Madness Weather
A Jaryuu search team found the Madness Weather (マッドネス･ウェザー Maddonesu Wezā?) underwater in a lake. When they activated it, the weather in Japan, and later the world, went crazy. Go Go Machines 1 through 5 were buried in ice and snow and fell into a deep crevasse. Unfortunately for the Jaryuu, the machine that they used to turn the treasure on shorted out because the treasure was simply too much for the machine to handle. The Madness Weather later evolved into a humanoid monster form, which gave the Boukengers a hard time, but it was ultimately terminated by DaiBouken Drill's Maximum Penetration Attack, despite the GoGo Drill's power overload problems.

The Scale of the Salamander (サラマンダーの鱗 Saramandā no Uroko?) was a Precious already in the possession of S.G.S.'s European branch that was being transferred to the Japanese branch for use in the Accel Tector.

[edit] Vril
Vril (ヴリル Buriru?) is an Atlantean Precious that has the ability to copy items and people. The Boukengers mistook it for Orichalum, the metal of Atlantis, and Gaja said that he looked forward to the havoc Vril will cause because of their ignorance. It is apparently alive, possibly intelligent, and is extremely aggressive. Vril was contained within a series of jars stacked within each other, like a Russian nesting doll. It was said that once Vril learned how to duplicate itself, it would attempt to replace all humanity with copies of itself. Among the things it imitated were a pen, a piggy bank, a potted plant (which then strangled Makino-sensei), a chair (which attacked Souta), Souta, and mutated into BoukenBlue after Souta attacked it. After seizing data from Souta's laptop, it copied Souta in both forms and multiplied in the Ranger state after it was blasted with the Dual Crusher, and took the form of an (VERY obviously) imperfect Daibouken copy. Terminated by Daibouken Drill and Mixer's Hind Break.
