Description
Majyo, also known as Ratabary in certain regions, serves as the primary antagonist and leader of the Time Skeletons trio. Her name derives from the Japanese word 'majo,' meaning witch, reflecting her cunning and manipulative nature. She resides in a luxurious mansion, directing operations of her henchmen Grocky and Walsa in pursuit of the powerful Dynamond gems—an obsession driving her actions throughout the series.
Her background reveals strategic ruthlessness: she initially planted Grocky as a spy in Dr. Kieta's laboratory to steal the Time Mechabuton and the first Dynamond from the parrot Parrosuke. When this failed, she commissioned the alternative time machine Gaikottsu to continue her quest across eras. During missions, she typically lounges in the Gaikottsu's sofa-like seat but positions herself between her henchmen during confrontations.
Personality-wise, she embodies the vain villainess archetype, frequently asserting self-perceived superiority in beauty and intellect. She exhibits selfishness, greed, and willingness to employ theft, deception, or violence for the Dynamonds. Despite relying on Grocky's technical skills and Walsa's physical strength, she displays contempt toward them, often berating them for failures. Her impatience and tendency to intervene directly in battles frequently cause humiliating defeats, including instances of mechanical mishaps leaving her naked. She occasionally manipulates historical or fictional figures during time-travel escapades, though these alliances are short-lived.
Her story arc culminates in the original series when she locates the Dynamonds in a present-day park, leading to euphoria followed by devastation as the gems petrify. This triggers a mental breakdown and a final, unsuccessful battle against the protagonists. The aftermath shows her in a childlike state, delusionally admiring false 'Dynamonds' in the sky. Subsequent media like Time Bokan: Royal Revival depict her recovery and participation in a cross-series rivalry, where the Time Skeletons are eliminated after their missile attack backfires. She also appears in Yatterman 2008, engaging in non-antagonistic activities like a communal bath and a baseball game alongside other villain trios.
