Lugal

Lugal: is the current fallen supreme ruler of the Denguil Empire who serves as the main antagonist in the 1983 film "Final Yamato".

History

Personality and Traits

As the supreme leader of the Dingirians, Lugal escapes his drowning homeworld aboard the enormous space station Uruk. Unlike the Gamilas leader Dessler who was a more sympathetic and remorseful antagonist turned anti-hero, Emperor Lugal on the other hand had absolutely no redeeming qualities what so ever. He is impassive when told his wife and younger son perished, believing that only the strong should survive, and decides that Earth should become the new home of his people, planning to use Aquarius to flood it. Spurning the very idea of "charity", he sets about exterminating the human race, ensuring it cannot even leave Earth before flooding. He kills his own elder son when the latter fails to destroy the Yamato, and he later shows no concern when he accidentally shoots his younger son [who tried to stop his own Father from executing Susumu Kodai] and shortly thereafter self-destructs Uruk, killing all living within its city when its purpose has been served. Later, when Lugal tries one final attempt at destroying the Yamato, only for him to show shock and surprise upon seeing the Gamilas Empire led by Emperor Dessler, who had managed to successfully arrived in time with his fleet in order to help save Humanity from almost certain destruction yet again, while protecting the Yamato in the process. In his final moments before Emperor Dessler easily finishes his opponent off for good, Emperor Lugal screamed in absolute fury as his flagship is instantly vaporized by the Dessler Cannon, ultimately rendering the entire Dingarian Empire extinct.

Notes[]

  • The word Lugal (𒈗) is Sumerian for "king."
  • The King of Fighters character Rugal Bernstein was named after him.
  • He is also seen often riding a Mechanical Horse into battle alongside his troops.
  • Emperor Lugal is regarded by many fans as one of the truly most HATED and greatly despised villains in the entire "Space Battleship Yamato" franchise (alongside other infamous Space Battleship Yamato franchise Villains such as Emperor Zwordar, Great Emperor Skulldart, Bolar Federation Prime Minister Bemlarze, and even both Commander Metzler and Prime Minister/Fleet Admiral Barthman of the SUS Empire).
