Movie
Description
Skulldart is the supreme ruler of the Dark Nebula Empire, also known as the Dark Star Cluster Empire or Dezarium Army. He possesses distinctive dark blue skin and bright red eyes, creating a more demonic and terrifying visage compared to others of his species who typically have light blue eyes.
Skulldart exhibits strategic cunning, ruthlessness, and manipulative behavior. He effectively employs psychological deception, such as fabricating an elaborate scenario to trick the Yamato crew into believing they traveled 200 years into the future to an Earth under his control. He displays replicated Earth artwork and landmarks, along with falsified historical records showing the Yamato's destruction, nearly convincing the crew to surrender. He shows no hesitation in threatening planetary genocide with a Double Nucleus Bomb targeting Earth. Skulldart also demonstrates combat proficiency, notably with a pistol during critical confrontations.
He serves as an overarching antagonist. Before the events of Be Forever Yamato, he commands operations like the illegal mining of Iscandar and shifts focus to conquering Earth as retribution for the deaths of subordinates like Deader and General Moledars following military setbacks. In earlier narratives like The New Voyage, he remains an unseen voice directing forces.
During the Earth invasion in Be Forever Yamato, Skulldart personally oversees the deployment of the life-destroying bomb and confronts the Yamato crew on Dezarium, disguised as future Earth. His deception unravels when the crew deduces the truth and attacks the planet with the Wave Motion Gun, stripping away its false facade. In the ensuing conflict, he engages in direct combat and fatally shoots Sasha, the half-human, half-Iscandarian girl, during the Yamato's assault on Dezarium's core. Sasha returns fire, mortally wounding him just before he is engulfed and vaporized by the Yamato's Wave Motion Gun blast. He screams in anguish as the energy consumes him.
In other media, such as the remake Be Forever Yamato: REBEL 3199, Skulldart appears as the leader of Dezarium.
