How many lives did Darkonda begin with?

[Andros 1337]

I was wondering, how many lives do you think Darkonda begin with?

Most fans would say he began with nine lives, however, that hasn't been confirmed in the series. There are only seven known times that Darkonda died in the series, and we don't know if he lost any lives prior to his first appearance. After all, Darkonda kidnapped Karone when she was a child, so it had to have been many years in the past before Darkonda's first on-screen appearance. If I would guess Andros' age, he was about 20 during PRiS. I would think it is quite likely that Darkonda had to have been killed at least once prior to the start of PRiS, as both Andros and Zhane were Power Rangers for a very long time.

I would say 9 because in C2D he actually pulled out a scroll showing all of his lives.

[Andros 1337]

I would say 9 because in C2D he actually pulled out a scroll showing all of his lives.

While that may be true, what if he had another scroll prior to his first appearance? After all, you can only fit a certain number of lives on one scroll.

The truth is, Darkonda existed well before the start of PRiS, as he kidnapped Karone when she was a child. In addition, Andros and Zhane were Power Rangers well into the past, so I think the odds are that Darkonda had to have been killed at least once prior to the start of the events in PRiS.

In PRiS, there are only seven confirmed times that Darkonda was killed.

Well if he was only killed 7 times in the series and the scroll showed 9 then doesn't that mean he was killed 2 times prior to PRIS?

Let's see...

1. Darkonda kidnapped Karone many years before PRiS. Many years before both Andros and Zhane became the first two Space Power Rangers.
2. Due the fact that Andros and Zhane were rangers and they were protecting KO-35 and their people years before PRiS, I think Darkonda had a whole bunch of chances to attack KO-35 and get into a fight with the two. They've must have defeated him at least once, so...

Yes, it is possible that Darkonda got smashed by those two at least one time, if not a few times.

As for the scroll, I think Darkonda had only one scroll, seen in C2D. There's no way he had more than 9 lives, because to obtain another scroll, he would need to get re-born or something in order to have more than those 9 lives. Which is impossible, because I haven't seen a monster being re-born on-screen. Re-made - yes, but who would re-make Darkonda, keeping his personality and memories untouched?

He was said to be granted nine lives by Dark Specter from what I rememeber. He was killed seven times throught the show and one is due to speculation. Because I have no life at this very moment (lol), these are the episodes he was killed in.

1. In "Red With Envy", he was killed by the Mega Voyager's Mega-V3 Missile Mode.

2. In "Zhane's Destiny", he was killed by Zhane, utilizing the Super Silverizer.

3. In "The Secret Of The Locket", he killed himself by stepping on the trap that he made for the Red Space Ranger.

4. In "Astornema Thinks Twice", he was killed by Ecliptor after the two spilt from their Darkliptor fusion.

5. In "The Rangers' Leap Of Faith", he was killed by Ecliptor, who did it to protect Astronema and the Space Rangers.

6. In "Dark Specter's Revenge, Part 1", it is speculated that he was killed in the explosion that was supposed the blow up the asteroid but this is once again speculation.

7. In "The Impenetrable Web", he was killed by the Galactic Rover.

8. In "Countdown To Destruction, Part 1", he was killed for the last time by Dark Specter after Darkonda attempted to kill him.

I think he lost count somewhere (resurrection might do things to a person's memory). He could have been dead at the time of the Z-Wave (with two to go) and revived after it

Therefore, he may still be alive...
