question for gingaman fans

[live jetabare]

What was exactly the relationship between Hyuuga and Bucrates ?
I know that Bucrates made Hyuuga work for him, by blackmailing him about Gou Taurus, but it seems their relationship becomes more complex with the time (and it's one of the best parts of this series).
Your thoughts?

I wasn't sure if it became more complex or anything. I think it was always about GoTaurus.

Bucrates kidnapped GoTaurus to bribe Hyuuga into making the Knight Axe, the only weapon that could kill the otherwise immortal Zahab. (He had gained immortality by placing jewels created by the "life energy" of planets they wrecked into his body.) To make the Axe Hyuuga had to give up his Earth Force, which he did by drinking a potion mad from a type of berry.

From then on he works with Bucrates to make the Axe and practices with it by cutting rocks and special stones that I presume resembled Zahab's armor. Over time they seem to forge some resemblance of friendship. In the finale Zahab destroys the Axe, but Hyuuga realizes he still has his power. So he joins with the others to kill Zahab for good.
