The Hades Cult are modern worshippers of the ancient King Hades and the main villains of the Metal Saga, seeking to revive his world-destroying Bey, Nemesis. Its leader Pluto manipulates the Dark Nebula and later Hades Inc. to gather power, and eventually brainwashes or recruits Legendary Bladers to reawaken Nemesis as Rago, its 'child.' Gingka Hagane and his allies ultimately defeat Diablo Nemesis and end the cult's plan.
What to know
Descended from King Hades, who originally built Nemesis from a Star Fragment before being stopped by his brother Zeus and the first Legendary Bladers.
Cult leader Pluto uses the Dark Nebula (Doji and Ryuga) to seize the Dark Power inside Lightning L-Drago.
A later front, Hades Inc., is run by Dr. Ziggurat and uses Team Star Breaker plus the arranged Blader Faust to build Spiral Force.
Pluto recruits Johannes and the Beylin Fist, mercenary Chris, and brainwashes Dynamis to help revive Nemesis; Herschel, Keyser, Cycnus and Rago pledge loyalty once Nemesis is reborn.
Rago, revealed as Nemesis's 'child,' evolves the prototype into Diablo Nemesis and battles the Legendary Bladers at the cult's temple.
Ryuga sacrifices himself against Rago, passing L-Drago's Star Fragment to Kenta's Sagittario, which evolves into Flash Sagittario.
Gingka finally destroys Diablo Nemesis using Cosmic Pegasus's Super Cosmic Tornado, ending the cult's centuries-old plan.
