Now the REAL party starts! The whole galaxy will dance for me!
~ Purge, Space Channel 5: Part 2.

Purge is the main antagonist of Space Channel 5: Part 2. He is the leader of the dancing group the Rhythm Rogues, consisting of himself, his robots, and his henchman Shadow. He plans on making the galaxy happy through dance.

Character Info[]

Purge is 18 years old and his blood type is A.[2] Purge is quite skilled with mechanics and also takes a great interest in robotics, evidenced by him creating an entire dance gang of them. In fact, he grew up surrounded by them[3] and designed the Black Walkers when he was just nine years old.[4] Even at this young age, Purge seemingly desired authority over others as he designed the Black Walkers without an emotion simulator so they would obey his commands without question.[4] That being said, he views the robots created more like his own children than he does as his minions.[5]

At certain points in the game, Purge is revealed to be able to use Dance Energy similar to Ulala, even getting his own "Groove Aura". His is blue, with electricity surrounding it.

Appearance[]

Purge is a young man with pale skin who stands shorter than Ulala. He has pale lilac, almost white hair, styled in a spiky fashion. The front, centermost spike is longer than the rest and zigzags similarly to an electric bolt; this would be a motif he associates with the entirety of the Rhythm Robots as well. His purple eyes are obscured by his pink-tinted, blue-framed butterfly sunglasses, but they are serious in appearance, with prominent eyelashes.

Purge's typical outfit consists of a long-sleeved black cloak that extends below his knees, the inside of which is purple. The upper arms of this cloak are spiked, and the body brandishes a large white P (this P only comes into full view when his arms are to his sides). Purge wears shiny, pointy-toed, black boots, with purple, platformed soles. Lastly, he wears purple gloves.

In his dancing outfit, Purge casts aside his cloak, sunglasses, and gloves, and instead wears a sleeveless shirt and pants. These are both covered in large, magenta-colored mirrors, worn with the intent of disorienting his opponents. His boots are similar to his cloaked outfit, except that they are white with black soles.

Personality[]

Purge has an extremely playful, almost childlike, personality. It's rare for him to take anything seriously and he considers everything to be a game, including life or death situations.

He has unusually strong self-esteem, which is partially due to hubris. Purge sometimes tends to exaggerate things. This also leads to him being very smug and arrogant, and he always talks like he has the upper hand. Purge is a self-righteous and self-centered boy that views himself as a savior to the galaxy, and that he is saving the people from themselves by bending them to his will.

Purge has no understanding of love, and isn't above taking from others to get what he wants, or controlling people to fulfill his desires.

History[]

Early life[]

Purge was successful in the field of radio wave mechanics at a young age.[3] Likely from this, Purge was able to gain a sufficient amount of social and economic status in the galaxy.[5] Eventually however, he started to believe that everyone in the galaxy was stupid and unhappy and that he had to lead them to paradise. With that belief in his head, he decided that he had to make the galaxy dance for him.[5]

Report 2: Nature's Revenge!

At that point, Purge reactivates the brainwashing signal, making Jaguar scream in pain and stay in his Shadow form. Purge then asks Ulala if she can spot the real one amongst the imposters, laughing manically.After rescuing Jaguar and finishing the report, Purge will taunt Ulala depending on her performance.

Report 6: Purge's T.V. Special
"Welcome to my very own TV Show! This antenna you gave me is working just great!"

Using the newly finished Ballistic Groove Gun, Purge fires a test run, forcing a whole arena of hostages to dance to his whim. Ulala and her group arrive and start taking on the Mass-produced Peace Carriers and Purge's Bodyguard Robots through a singing battle.

After beating the Robot, Ulala will run onto Purge's stage only to find that she and the rest of her group have been separated by an invisible wall. Purge wants to take Ulala on alone as he reveals his own Super Form: Dancing Purge.

He takes Ulala in a Solo Dance Battle with her Dance Energy slowly charging the Ballistic Groove Gun. Soon enough, Purge reveals his power source to be President Peace trapped in a dome that focuses on his energy. With Ulala, President Peace and the Audience's power free for him to use, Purge creates the Dance Dimension X and becomes Purge the Great. Ulala tries to dodge the attacks, but Purge eventually fires multiple attacks at the same time, presumably killing her, after that he fully charges the Ballistic Groove Gun.

One second before Purge launches the Ballistic Groove Gun, Ulala is brought back to life thanks to the support of everyone helping the dancer and she becomes Super Ulala. With everyone by her side, she takes on Purge the Great once more in a dance battle.

After beating Purge in this battle, she saves President Peace and starts a singing battle against Purge. After beating him, the Dance Dimension is broken and Purge retreats into the Ballistic Groove Gun, now transformed into a satellite. Fuse surprises everyone revealing that he's alive and helps focus the power of the 86,429 fans into one funkified force! Ulala tells Purge that she's had enough of his "trash TV show's." Jaguar tells him that "strength without love won't change anythin." Pudding tells Purge that "you're the one that isn't happy." Pine tells him that she's "gonna heal that sick mind of yours."

Trivia[]

  • When playing as Purge (Cloaked outfit) in Report 5, there is a glitch during the Battle of the Bands section that shows his reflection without his goggles.
  • In Report 4, Purge is visually seen losing balance on his hovercraft each time the player shoots him. He is able to stay on his hovercraft due to magnetic boots. [8]
  • Purge is the only male main character in the series to wear a sleeveless shirt.
  • The second round with the Purge Hovercraft has Purge yell out his commands much more furiously. In the Japanese version, Purge yells out "Shoot" instead of "Chu" here. This makes Purge one of the few character to have the sound of their commands change with the situation, the others being Ulala, the Peace Carrier, Shadow, and Space Michael .
  • Purge doesn't comprehend love, but he does understand sexual attraction, as shown in UGA's official documents about him where it mentions him feeling "a tiny bit aroused" when he addresses Shadow by his name for the first time.[5]
  • Purge is possibly bisexual, as he sometimes flirts with Ulala and, as mentioned above, is slightly attracted to Shadow.
    • This makes Purge one of the four Space Channel 5 characters who are hinted to be LGBT+ characters. The other three being Amy Amania, Cecil Aroma, and Clork.
  • Out of all the villains, Purge is the one who came the closest to winning, as Ulala was brought back to life one second before he makes the whole Galaxy dance for him.
  • Other than Ulala, Purge is the only character who has more than one unlockable outfit.
  • Purge's Japanese voice actor, Akira Ishida, also voices Ecolo from Puyo Puyo, hence why Ecolo can be seen dressed as Purge in the collaborative Line stickers.
  • The Space Channel 5 Part 2 Sugoku Sugoi Guide Book has a few pages dedicated to the storyboards for the first portion of Report 6. In the narrative of the book, these are presented as plans drawn up by Purge.
