Tensou Sentai Goseiger (天装戦隊ゴセイジャー, Tensō Sentai Goseijā)[a] is a Japanese tokusatsu series that serves as the 34th installment in the Super Sentai franchise and the 22nd entry in the Heisei era. Much of the series takes inspiration from Japanese and Buddhist mythology in addition to western films for the antagonist factions.
Main characters
[edit]Goseigers
[edit]The eponymous Goseigers are young members of the Gosei Angel (護星天使, Gosei Tenshi) race, humans born with mysterious powers who moved to the Gosei World (護星界, Goseikai) 10,000 years ago so as not to cause trouble for regular humans. Using the Heaven's Tower (天の塔, Ten no Tō) as a bridge between the dimensions, the Gosei Angels made it their mission to protect Earth.[1] They are divided into three Tribes: the optimistic Skick Tribe (スカイック族, Sukaikku Zoku) with power over aerial elements, the tough Landick Tribe (ランディック族, Randikku Zoku) with power over the earth, and the calm-headed Seaick Tribe (シーイック族, Shīikku Zoku) with power over water.[2][3]
To carry out their mission, the Gosei Angels use the mystical Gosei Power (ゴセイパワー, Gosei Pawā) sealed away in Gosei Cards that are kept in the Gosei Card Buckle belts. The tiki-like Tensouder (テンソウダー, Tensōdā) device allows them to transform and perform Tensou Techniques.[4][1] Each member is armed with an individual Gosei Weapon (ゴセイウェポン, Gosei Uepon), which they can combine to form the Gosei Buster (ゴセイバスター, Gosei Basutā) and perform the Gosei Dynamic (ゴセイダイナミック, Gosei Dainamikku) finisher by placing their Gosei Dynamic Cards onto their weapons.[1] The Gosei Buster can also separate into two weapons, the Landsea Buster (ランドシーバスター, Randoshī Basutā) for Gosei Black, Yellow, and Blue, and the Sky Buster (スカイバスター, Sukai Basutā) for Gosei Red and Pink, allowing them to perform the Landsea Dynamic (ランドシーダイナミック, Randoshī Dainamikku) and Sky Dynamic (スカイダイナミック, Sukai Dainamikku) finishers respectively.[1]
Alternatively, they also wield Gosei Blaster (ゴセイブラスター, Gosei Burasutā) sidearms that allow them to perform Bullet (バレット, Baretto) attacks after combining it with a Headder and perform the Gosei Super Sonic (ゴセイスーパーソニック, Gosei Sūpā Sonikku) team attack.[1]
With the power of the Miracle Gosei Headders and Gosei Tenswords (ゴセイテンソード, Gosei Tensōdo), the Goseigers can become the Super Goseigers (スーパーゴセイジャー, Sūpā Goseijā), arming them with the Miracle Gosei Tector (ミラクルゴセイテクター, Mirakuru Gosei Tekutā) armor.[1][5] By pressing a button and pulling the trigger on the handle, the Super Goseigers can perform either standalone Super Dynamic (スーパーイダイナミック, Sūpā Dainamikku) finishers or the combined Super Sky-Land-Sea Dynamic (スーパースカイランドシーダイナミック, Sūpā Sukai Rando Shī Dainamikku) finisher. The Super Goseigers can also combine their Tenswords with their Tensouders to form the Super Tensword (スーパーテンソード, Sūpā Tensōdo), which allows them to perform the Miracle Gosei Dynamic (ミラクルゴセイダイナミック, Mirakuru Gosei Dainamikku) finisher by placing the Miracle Gosei Dynamic Cards into the weapons.[1] With Gosei Knight's Dynamic Leon Laser, the Super Goseigers can perform the Super Sky-Land-Sea-Knight Dynamic (スーパースカイランドシーナイトダイナミック, Sūpā Sukai Rando Shī Naito Dainamikku) finisher.
In the crossover film Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle, the Goseigers and Gokaigers use the power of their Super Sentai predecessors to summon the Super Sentai Bazooka (スーパー戦隊バズーカ, Sūpā Sentai Bazūka).
Alata
[edit]Alata (アラタ, Arata) is a member of the Skick Tribe and the childhood friend of his Skick Tribe partner Eri.[5] He has the innate ability to see the true essence of things. Unlike her, Alata is ten times more sensitive to the wind and can easily pick up and track evil around the area. Like Eri, he also has a bubbly and positive personality.[6] Whenever he is in a pinch, he never gives up and fights his way through. Alata truly believes in protecting the Earth and everyone. He is also the first to befriend and truly trust Nozomu. However, despite being a strong leader for the group, Alata is usually an airhead and often does things before thinking about them.
As Gosei Red (ゴセイレッド, Gosei Reddo),[6][7][8] his Gosei Weapon is the Skick Sword (スカイックソード, Sukaikku Sōdo), which allows him to perform the Red Break (レッドブレイク, Reddo Bureiku) attack.[5] With Gosei Pink, he can perform the Sky Combi Break (スカイコンビブレイク, Sukai Konbi Bureiku) attack.[5] With the other Goseigers' help, he can also perform the Red Dynamic (レッドダイナミック, Reddo Dainamikku).[5]

Eri
[edit]Eri (エリ) is a member of the Skick Tribe who is the most maternal of the group and optimistic about life.[11] She excels in assessing situations and is a very bold fighter. Eri's personality resembles that of a cheerful and bubbly girl, as she is always thinking positively and never gives up.[6] However, she lacks common sense and often clashes with her teammates, especially Moune, due to Eri's capriciousness and being an airhead.
As Gosei Pink (ゴセイピンク, Gosei Pinku),[6][12][13] her Gosei Weapon is the Skick Shot (スカイックショット, Sukaikku Shotto), which allows her to perform the Pink Trick (ピンクトリック, Pinku Torikku) attack.[11] With Gosei Red, she can perform the Sky Combi Break.[5] With Gosei Yellow, she can perform one of two attacks: Gosei Combi Sonic (ゴセイコンビソニック, Gosei Konbi Sonikku) or Gosei Shining (ゴセイシャイニング, Gosei Shainingu). In the crossover film Tensou Sentai Goseiger vs. Shinkenger: Epic on Ginmaku, she can perform the Pink Double Attack (ピンクダブルアタック, Pinku Daburu Atakku) with Shinken Pink.
With the Gosei Tensword, Gosei Pink becomes Super Gosei Pink (スーパーゴセイピンク, Sūpā Gosei Pinku),[14] allowing her to perform the Super Pink Trick (スーパーピンクトリック, Sūpā Pinku Torikku) attack and Super Sky Dynamic finisher.[5] In Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle, Super Gosei Pink can perform the Pink Double Attack Part 2 (ピンクダブルアタックパート2, Pinku Daburu Atakku Pāto Tsū) alongside Gokai Pink.

Agri
[edit]Agri (アグリ, Aguri) is a hot-blooded Landick warrior and elder brother of Moune who acts cool. He prides himself on being the strongest fighter out of the five Goseigers.[6][15]
As Gosei Black (ゴセイブラック, Gosei Burakku),[6][16][17] his Gosei Weapon is the Landick Ax (ランディックアックス, Randikku Akkusu), which allows him to perform the Black Attack (ブラックアタック, Burakku Atakku).[15] With Gosei Yellow, he can perform the Land Combi Attack (ランドコンビアタック, Rando Konbi Atakku).

Moune
[edit]Moune (モネ, Mone) is Agri's younger sister.[20] Despite being the youngest member of the group and having a childish nature about her, she has a very strict nature, which clashes with Eri's capricious nature, though Moune can also be loving and always sticks to the battle ahead.[6]
As Gosei Yellow (ゴセイイエロー, Gosei Ierō),[6] Moune can perform the Insulator Kick (絶縁体キック, Zetsuentai Kikku) attack.[21][22] Additionally, her Gosei Weapon is the Landick Claw (ランディッククロー, Randikku Kurō), which allows her to perform the Yellow Shock (イエローショック, Ierō Shokku) attack.[20] With Gosei Black, she can perform the Land Combi Attack. With Gosei Pink, she can perform one of two attacks: Gosei Combi Sonic or Gosei Shining.
With the Gosei Tensword, Gosei Yellow becomes Super Gosei Yellow (スーパーゴセイイエロー, Sūpā Gosei Ierō),[23] allowing her to perform the Super Yellow Shock (スーパーイエローショック, Sūpā Ierō Shokku) attack and Super Land Dynamic finisher.[20]

Hyde
[edit]Hyde (ハイド, Haido) is the oldest of the group and lone Seaick Tribe representative after the death of his partner Magis.[25] Because he is the oldest, Hyde is wise and usually calm, often paying very close attention to every detail, no matter how trivial.[6] He also serves in keeping the team together.
As Gosei Blue (ゴセイブルー, Gosei Burū),[6][25] Hyde can perform the Seaick Spin (シーイックスピン, Shīikku Supin) attack. Additionally, his Gosei Weapon is the Seaick Bowgun (シーイックボウガン, Shīikku Bōgan), which allows him to perform the Blue Check (ブルーチェック, Burū Chekku) attack.[25] With Gosei Black, he can perform the Gosei Hurricane.
With the Gosei Tensword, Gosei Blue becomes Super Gosei Blue (スーパーゴセイブルー, Sūpā Gosei Burū),[26] allowing him to perform the Super Blue Check (スーパーブルーチェック, Sūpā Burū Chekku) attack and Super Sea Dynamic (スーパーシーダイナミック, Sūpā Shī Dainamikku) finisher.[25]
Hyde is portrayed by Kento Ono (小野 健斗, Ono Kento).[6][25]
Gosei Knight
[edit]Gosei Knight (ゴセイナイト, Gosei Naito) is a mysterious silver-colored, armored warrior of which the Gosei World has no record.[27] Ten thousand years ago, he was originally the Groundion Headder (グランディオンヘッダー, Gurandion Heddā) and battled the Yuumajuu alongside Brajira until they got separated.[28] Ending up in a glacier, Groundion made a pact with the Earth itself, which granted him the means to transform into a humanoid form to fight the revived Yuumajuu and cleanse the Earth of any threat to it.[27] Gosei Knight's motivations initially put him at odds with the current Goseigers, as he does not care for Earth's inhabitants who pollute the planet. Over time however, he comes to realize the Goseigers share his mission and works alongside them to defeat the Yuumajuu.
When the Matrintis Empire attacks, Gosei Knight's life force starts to dwindle, leaving him unsure of whether he should continue fighting alongside the Goseigers. After Nozomu helps him realize humans have the potential to redeem themselves and protect the planet, Gosei Knight renews his resolve to support the Goseigers in their battles.
However, Brajira resurfaces and captures Gosei Knight in order to use the latter's Final Power for his Earth Salvation Plan. Using his Dark Gosei Power, Brajira reprograms Gosei Knight into Dark Gosei Knight of the Groundion Headder (グランディオンヘッダーのダーク・ゴセイナイト, Gurandion Heddā no Dāku Gosei Naito) to serve him,[28] but Alata uses his Gosei Power to expel the dark energy in Gosei Knight and replenish that of his ally's. Following Brajira's defeat, Gosei Knight leaves to rest and regain his full power.
During the events of the series Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, Gosei Knight supports the Goseigers and their Super Sentai predecessors during the Legend War before they sacrifice their powers to defeat Zangyack's first invasion force. In Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle, Gosei Knight briefly regains his powers to help the Goseigers and Gokaigers fight the Black Cross King.
Unlike the Goseigers, Gosei Knight possesses the mysterious Knightick Power (ナイティックパワー, Naitikku Pawā), which allows him to utilize all three of Gosei World's tribal elements.[29][30][27] He can also transform from humanoid form to Headder form through the Leon Cellular (レオンセルラー, Reon Serurā), a cellphone-like device that also allows him to perform Tensou Techniques.[27] His personal weapon is the Leon Laser (レオンレイザー, Reon Reizā), a raygun that can either transform into the Leon Laser Sword (レオンレイザーソード, Reon Reizā Sōdo), which allows him to perform the Knight Metallic (ナイトメタリック, Naito Metarikku) attack, or combine with the Leon Cellular and Vulcan Headder to form the Dynamic Leon Laser (ダイナミックレオンレイザー, Dainamikku Reon Reizā), which allows him to perform the Knight Dynamic (ナイトダイナミック, Naito Dainamikku) finisher.[27] With the Super Goseigers, Gosei Knight can perform the Miracle Gosei Knight Dynamic (ミラクルゴセイナイトダイナミック, Mirakuru Gosei Naito Dainamikku) finisher.
As the Groundion Headder, Gosei Knight can fuse with a haul truck body to form the lion-like Gosei Machine Groundion (グランディオン, Gurandion). As Groundion, he can perform the Groundion Eraser (グランディオンイレイザー, Gurandion Ireizā) attack.[31]
Gosei Knight is voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi (小西 克幸, Konishi Katsuyuki).[32][27]
Gosei Cards
[edit]The Gosei Cards (ゴセイカード, Gosei Kādo) allow the Goseigers and Gosei Knight to perform Tensou Techniques (天装術, Tensō Jutsu) once inserted into either the Tensouder or the Leon Cellular, with each member possessing his or her own copy.[6][33] In Gosei Knight's case, scanning his Gosei Cards into the Leon Cellular is accompanied by him inputting a three digit code into the device. The Gosei Angels can only use the cards associated with their respective tribe while Gosei Knight has the ability to use all three elements and the Knightick power. In the film Tensou Sentai Goseiger vs. Shinkenger: Epic on Ginmaku, the Goseigers train alongside the Shinkengers to combine their Tensou Techniques and Mojikara respectively in order to fight against the resurfaced Gedoushu and the Ayakashi Makodama, who has the ability to counteract the Goseigers' abilities.

[edit]Master Head
[edit]Master Head (マスターヘッド, Masutā Heddo) is the leader of Gosei World and the Goseigers' contact to their home world who provides them with information to fight Warstar and later the Yuumajuu. To help the Goseigers defeat the latter, Master Head sacrifices himself to provide them with Gosei Ultimate.[1] However, his spirit endures and ends up in another dimension. Playing a role in giving Gosei Knight the power to help the Goseigers defeat the Matrintis Empire, Master Head reveals himself when he temporarily possesses Professor Amachi to give the Goseigers insight about the Yuumajuu's sealing and Brajira.[1] During the execution of Brajira's Nega End, Master Head possesses Gosei Ultimate in a vain attempt to halt the wedges alongside Gosei Ground and Datas Hyper.

With the help of the Hyper Change Headder, Datas is capable of enlarging and combining with it to become Datas Hyper (データスハイパー, Dētasu Haipā), a Tensou Giant that specializes in boxing attacks, such as the Datas Punch (データスパンチ, Dētasu Panchi) and Hyper Uppercut (ハイパーアッパーカット, Haipā Appākatto).[38] His finisher is the Datas Dynamic Crash (データスダイナミッククラッシュ, Dētasu Dainamikku Kurasshu).[36][38] Additionally, Datas can combine with the Mystic Brothers to form Mystic Datas Hyper (ミスティックデータスハイパー, Misutikku Dētasu Haipā), gaining flight capabilities and the ability to fire energy bullets.[36][38]

Nozomu Amachi
[edit]Nozomu Amachi (天知 望, Amachi Nozomu) is a grade four student and Alata's good friend.[6][1] He first meets Alata when the Goseiger stops a baby carriage from rolling down a flight of stairs. After their first encounter, Alata leaves to rejoin his teammates, but forgets his Change Card, which Nozomu returns later during the Goseigers' first fight with Warstar's forces. While the Goseigers are meant to keep their existence a secret, Alata convinces his teammates not to erase Nozomu's memory. Following this, Nozomu becomes a close ally to the Goseigers amidst their later battles with Warstar, the Yuumajuu, the Matrintis Empire, and Brajira.[41]

Shuichirou Amachi
[edit]Shuichirou Amachi (天知 秀一郎, Amachi Shūichirō) is an amateur astronomer who runs the Amachi Institute,[6][1] Nozomu's father, and only present parent as his wife Yuko (裕子, Yūko) works away from home and rarely comes home. He hires the Goseigers as part-time workers, unaware of their actions. Regardless, Amachi aids them on certain occasions and eventually learns the truth about the Gosei Angels from Master Head after agreeing to be the latter's medium.[42]
Shuichirou is portrayed by Louis Yamada LIII (山田ルイ53世, Yamada Rui Gojūsan-sei), the tsukkomi of the Hige Danshaku (髭男爵, Hige Danshaku) manzai duo.[6][1]
Wicked Souls
[edit]Unlike most Super Sentai installments, this series lacks a permanent antagonist faction as the Goseigers fight three different villain groups that appear one after another before Brajira rises up as the series' final antagonist. All of the villains in this series are named after popular films, with each faction representing different film genres. While they lack a collective name, the Goseigers referred to them as "wicked souls" (悪しき魂, ashiki tamashi) before they executed them in reference to their roles as Gosei Angels to punish the wicked.
Warstar
[edit]The Universal Annihilation Army Warstar (宇宙虐滅軍団ウォースター, Uchū Gyakumetsu Gundan Wōsutā) are insect-themed aliens based in the Universal Mothership Indevader (宇宙母船インデベーダー, Uchū Bosen Indebēdā) who seek to steal the life force of other planets. After targeting Earth, they run afoul of the Goseigers.[43] Their members' home worlds are anagrams of the type of Earth insect they are modeled after while all Warstar-related names are modifications of the Japanese names of American science fiction films.[43]
Mons Drake
[edit]The Great King Mons Drake (大王モンス・ドレイク, Daiō Monsu Doreiku),[44] also known as Mons Drake of the Planet (惑星のモンス・ドレイク, Wakusei no Monsu Doreiku), is a Mons Alien (モンス星人, Monsu Seijin) and the leader of Warstar.[43] Before invading Earth, his new follower Brajira informs him of the Gosei Angels and the threat that they pose to his plans, so Mons Drake tasks Dereputa with destroying Heaven's Tower in an attempt to bar the Gosei Angels from Earth. Upon learning five Gosei Angels were on the planet at the time, Mons Drake orders his forces to stop them. Eventually, due to the Goseigers' constant interference, Mons Drake performs the Gravity Fall to make the Moon collide with Earth, only for the Goseigers to foil this plan and seemingly kill Dereputa. Following this, Mons Drake attempts to transfer Earth's oxygen into the Indevader and have it crash into the Earth to burn every human and enlarge himself to ensure the Goseigers cannot stop him, but the Goseigers blast him into the Indevader, which consumes Mons Drake in the resulting explosion.
In battle, Mons Drake wields the Drake Tomahawk (ドレイクトマホーク, Doreiku Tomahōku) and can perform the Planet Bullet (惑星弾, Wakusei Dan) and Syzygial Bullet (惑星直列弾, Wakusei Chokuretsu Dan) attacks. His most powerful technique is the Gravity Fall (引力落とし, Inryoku Otoshi) ceremony, wherein he uses stored dark matter in his body to cause a nearby natural satellite to impact the planet he is currently on.

Narrowly surviving, Dereputa temporarily goes into hiding, realizing he needs to act alone to prove his superiority. Following Mons Drake's demise, Dereputa resurfaces to attack the Goseigers and settle his rivalry with Alata. Dereputa is killed in battle, but unknowingly releases the Yuumajuu.
In battle, Dereputa possesses arm blades and can perform the Meteor Bullet (流星弾, Ryūsei Dan), Super Meteor Bullet (超流星弾, Chō Ryūsei Dan), Meteor Dimensional Bullet (流星縦横弾, Ryūsei Jūō Dan), and Super-Galactic Meteor Bullet (超銀河流星弾, Chō Ginga Ryūsei Dan) attacks.[43]

[edit]Robogorg of the 10-sai (10(テン)サイのロボゴーグ, Tensai no Robogōgu)[c] is the shrimp-themed leader of the Matrintis Empire who was originally a human scientist who perfected a method of immortality through cybernetics and uploading his mind into a Matroid body.[46] Though he was ostracized for his methods prior to converting himself, the Matrintians begged him for his help when their city sank into the sea. Since then, Robogorg believes all organic life have no purpose other than to serve him and his machines due to their emotions.[47] While he uses other Matroids to fight for him, he is not above getting personally involved if it benefits his desire to gather data on his opponents. Using his creations to gather intel on the Goseigers, Robogorg eventually moves in to finish them off by using Brajira to seal their Tensouders and Leon Cellular. However, Brajira secretly ensured the latter device remained functional, allowing Gosei Knight to foil Robogorg's plot to kill the Goseigers. Robogorg enlarges and attempts to use his self-destruct function to destroy the Goseigers, only to be scrapped by Gosei Ultimate. While his head survives and orders Brajira to repair him, the latter obliterates him instead.
Robogorg's title comes from his 10 built-in abilities: the Genius Brain (鬼才ブレイン, Kisai Burein), which allows him to create and improve Matroid designs, the Punishment Bomb (制裁ボム, Seisai Bomu) to discipline his subordinates, the Fortress Armor (要塞アーマー, Yōsai Āmā), the Devastation Vulcan (撃砕バルカン, Gekisai Barukan), the Blasting Missile (爆砕ミサイル, Bakusai Misairu), the Lumbering Saber (伐採セイバー, Bassai Seibā), the Dictatorship Hurricane (独裁ハリケーン, Dokusai Harikēn), and the Salvation Cell (救済セル, Kyūsai Seru), which allows another party to rebuild him. His most powerful attacks are the Calamity Destruction (厄災デストラクション, Yakusai Desutorakushon) cannon, an all-out attack that causes earthquakes and can only be used once, and the Suicide Crusher (玉砕クラッシャー, Gyokusai Kurasshā) self-destruct function, which has enough power to destroy a continent.[46]
Robogorg is voiced by Jūrōta Kosugi (小杉 十郎太, Kosugi Jūrōta).[47][46]
Metal Alice
[edit]Metal Alice of the Agent (エージェントのメタルA(アリス), Ējento no Metaru Arisu) is Robogorg's basket star-themed personal attendant, a Matrintis marshal, and the first high-spec Matroid that Robogorg created.[47][46] Amidst Matrintis' battles with the Goseigers, she develops a rivalry with Gosei Knight, but loses Robogorg's favor following Wonder Gosei Great defeating her. As a result of the latter event, he installs a Punishment Bomb into her to stop her from failing him again. After reviving Brajira as Buredo-RUN, who later saves her, Metal Alice takes interest in the concept of friendship and realizes the Goseigers cannot be underestimated. Upon learning Robogorg only kept her around to perfect Buredo-RUN, Metal Alice restores the latter's full memories and conspires with him to eliminate Robogorg. During Robogorg's final battle with the Goseigers, he orders Buredo-RUN to become a suicide bomber, but Metal Alice takes Buredo-RUN's place, taking a kill shot from Super Gosei Red in order to detonate her Punishment Bomb. While she narrowly survives, Buredo-RUN destroys her.
In battle, Metal Alice possesses the G Cup Buster (Gカップバスター, Jī Kappu Basutā) breast missiles and wields the Alice Pad (A(アリス)パッド, Arisu Paddo), which can convert into the Alice Pad Sword (A(アリス)パッドソード, Arisu Paddo Sōdo), allow her to summon Bibi Soldiers and Bibi Bugs, and convert the latter into Bibi Nails (ビービネイル, Bībi Neiru) to enlarge the Matroids.[46]
Metal Alice is voiced by Marina Inoue (井上 麻里奈, Inoue Marina).[47][46][48]
Matroids
[edit]The Matroids (マトロイド, Matoroido) are the Matrintis Empire's robotic soldiers programmed to follow three protocols: conquer humans, punish humans, and protect themselves from any hostility.[46] Their full name refers to their model type and main functionality.[46] With the use of Metal Alice's Bibi Nails, the Matroids are able to enlarge.
- Zan-KT of the Shield (シールドのザンKT, Shīrudo no Zan Kē Tī): A scallop-themed Matroid able to create a shield from surrounding materials.[46] He is sent to capture humans, only to be defeated by the Super Goseigers, enlarged by Metal Alice, and scrapped by Gosei Ultimate. Zan-KT is voiced by Taketora (武虎).[46]
- Zan-KT2 of the Shoot (シュートのザンKT2, Shūto no Zan Kē Tī Tsū): An upgraded version of Zan-KT with blasters in place of his shield ability.[46] Zan-KT2 is defeated by the Super Goseigers and Gosei Knight, enlarged by Metal Alice, and scrapped by Gosei Ultimate and Gosei Ground. Zan-KT2 is voiced by Taketora.[46]
- Zan-KT3 of the Short (ショートのザンKT3, Shōto no Zan Kē Tī Surī): Three mass-produced Matroids that combine attributes of the previous models, though the Goseigers and Gosei Knight easily destroy them.[46] The Zan-KT3s are voiced by Ibuki (勇吹輝).[49]
- Zan-KT0 of the Shot (ショットのザンKT0, Shotto no Zan Kē Tī Zero): A prototypical version of Zan-KT of the Shield. Zan-KT0 is deployed to destroy the Negakure Temple and obtain the power source Metal Alice detected within it. However, he is defeated by the time-travelling Gokaigers, enlarged by Metal Alice, and scrapped by GouZyuJin. Zan-KT0 appears exclusively in the Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger episode "The Future is in the Past".
- Zuteru-S of the Mach (マッハのズテルS, Mahha no Zuteru Esu): A copepod-themed Matroid able to fly at blinding speeds and perform the Mach Extreme (マッハエクストリーム, Mahha Ekusutorīmu) attack.[46] He is sent to gather humans for labor, only to be defeated by the Super Goseigers, enlarged by Metal Alice, and scrapped by Ultimate Gosei Great. Zuteru-S is voiced by Isshin Chiba (千葉 一伸, Chiba Isshin).[46]
- Bazaruso-LJ of the Scan (スキャンのバザルソLJ, Sukyan no Bazaruso Eru Jē): A cuttlefish-themed Matroid sent to find and capture physically fit humans in order to convert into cyborg soldiers, only to be defeated by Super Gosei Black and Gosei Knight, enlarged by Metal Alice, and scrapped by Ultimate Gosei Great.[46] Bazaruso-LJ is voiced by Toshitsugu Takashina (高階 俊嗣, Takashina Toshitsugu).[46]

He is defeated by Super Gosei Yellow, enlarged by Metal Alice, and scrapped by Gosei Ultimate. Adoborute-G is voiced by Mitsuaki Hoshino (星野 充昭, Hoshino Mitsuaki).[46]
- Bakutofuji-ER of the Timer (タイマーのバクトフージER, Taimā no Bakutofūji Ī Āru): A horseshoe crab-themed Matroid capable of rewinding time by 10 seconds via his Time Reverse (タイムリバース, Taimu Ribāsu) ability.[46] Metal Alice sends him to lure the Goseigers into a trap so Buredo-RUN can destroy them. After she enlarges him to cover Buredo-RUN, Bakutofuji-ER battles Gosei Ultimate and Gosei Ground. Unbeknownst to Metal Alice however, Buredo-RUN fires a beam into the Matroid and mechas' colliding attacks, which causes a time warp that sends Alata and Bakutofuji-ER back in time and shrinks the Matroid. They eventually return to the present, where Bakutofuji-ER is re-enlarged by Metal Alice and scrapped by Ground Gosei Great. Bakutofuji-ER is voiced by Kōichi Sakaguchi (坂口 候一, Sakaguchi Kōichi).[46]
- Ain-I of the Neutral (ニュートラルのアインI, Nyūtoraru no Ain Ai): A starfish-themed Matroid that Metal Alice designs to help her understand the concept of friendship and equipped with a remote-controlled Alice Bomb (A(アリス)ボム, Arisu Bomu), which has a 300-meter blast radius.[46] She leaves him in Eri's care, with the Gosei Angel nicknaming him "Koro". While Ain-I learns much about humanity and friendship, Metal Alice deems the experiment a waste of time, wipes his memory, and activates his battle mode to destroy the Goseigers. Metal Alice enlarges Ain-I and activates the Alice Bomb. Eri uses Gosei Ultimate to transport Ain-I into the stratosphere, but he reactivates and knocks her away before exploding. Ain-I is voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi (山口 勝平, Yamaguchi Kappei).[46]
- Saroge-DT of the Imitation (イミテイションのサロゲDT, Imiteishon no Saroge Dī Tī): A sponge-themed, Datas Hyper-esque Matroid who ends his sentences with "death" (デス, desu) and was personally built by Robogorg after kidnapping and researching Datas' schematics and data on the Goseigers.[46] While Saroge-DT overpowers the Goseigers, Gosei Blue uses his Camoumirage Card to throw the Matroid off-guard before the Super Goseigers and Gosei Knight defeat him. Metal Alice enlarges the Matroid, but he is scrapped by Datas Hyper and Gosei Ultimate. Saroge-DT is voiced by Takahiro Miyauchi (宮内 尊寛, Miyauchi Takahiro).[46]
Other Matroids
[edit]- Estworl-D of the Download (ダウンロードのエストワールD, Daunrōdo no Esutowāru Dī): An octopus-themed Matroid who creates the Dark Goseigers (ダークゴセイジャー, Dāku Goseijā) team through analysis of the Goseigers' data and abilities. Estworl-D appears exclusively in the series' tie-in stage show.
Earth Salvation Plan
[edit]The Earth Salvation Plan (地球救星計画, Chikyū Kyūsei Keikaku) is the name of an operation and movement launched by Brajira to destroy the Earth based in the Matrintis Empire's underwater base Terminel, renamed Labyrindel (ラビリンデル, Rabirinderu), and serves as the final villain faction faced by the Goseigers.[28]
Brajira
[edit]Brajira of the Messiah (救星主のブラジラ, Kyūseishu no Burajira) is a fallen Gosei Angel (元護星天使, moto Gosei Tenshi) and the series' primary antagonist with a messiah complex who assumes several "Buredoran" (ブレドラン, Buredoran) guises to battle the Goseigers.[28]
Brajira was originally the most powerful of the ancient Gosei Angels, able to use all three elements at once after killing his teammates to take their powers for his own.[28] While working undercover within the Yuumajuu as Buredoran of the Chupacabra, he sealed their leaders Makuin and Kinggon within the Erurei Box and became obsessed with his mission as a Gosei Angel to the point of fashioning the Earth Salvation Plan to destroy the world and remake it in his own image. To this end, Brajira used the incomplete Timetrouble (タイムトラブル, Taimutoraburu) Tensou Technique to travel from his time to the present, which mutated him. As the Warstar had just arrived on Earth as well, Brajira joined them as Buredoran of the Comet and provided them with his inventions - the Bibi Soldiers and the Bibi Bugs - along with his knowledge of the Gosei Angels to manipulate Warstar into disabling his former allies with the intention of disposing of the aliens personally once the job was done.[43]
When the Goseigers defeat Warstar however, Brajira unseals the Yuumajuu's leaders and returns to their ranks to continue his fight against the Goseigers, though he briefly returns to Warstar when their remnants come to Earth to destroy it. After losing the Abare Headder to the Goseigers, Brajira falls out of favor with the lead Yuumajuu and attempts to eliminate them and the Goseigers simultaneously, only to be killed by them.
During the events of the crossover film Tensou Sentai Goseiger vs. Shinkenger: Epic on Ginmaku, Brajira revives himself as Buredoran of Chimatsuri, assumes leadership of the Gedoushu, and brainwashes Shinken Red in a scheme to transfer the Sanzu River's waters into the Gosei World. However, the Goseigers and Shinkengers join forces to kill him once more.[39]
Amidst their own battles with the Goseigers, the Matrintis Empire find Brajira's near-lifeless body, rebuild him as Buredo-RUN of the Cyborg, and remove most of his memories. Robogorg intends to use Brajira's powers to seal the Goseigers' Tensouders, but Metal Alice takes pity on Brajira and restores his memories. With this, Brajira destroys Robogorg and Metal Alice before temporarily going into hiding to restore his original mutated form. Upon resurfacing and revealing his true identity to the Goseigers, Brajira captures and reprograms Gosei Knight to serve him while using Warstar's military might, the Yuumajuu's magic, and the Matrintis Empire's technology to enact the Nega End Ceremony.[28] He battles the Goseigers a final time before using the last of his Dark Gosei power to activate the ceremony, intending to take Earth with him. However, the Goseigers use the Gosei Global technique to foil his plans, destroying the fallen Gosei Angel permanently.[28]
In battle, Brajira wields the Dark Sword (ダークソード, Dāku Sōdo) and a perverted form of Gosei Power called Dark Gosei Power (ダークゴセイパワー, Dāku Gosei Pawā), which is sealed away in Orbs (オーブ, Ōbu) instead of cards, and allow him to perform ancient, crude versions of the Goseigers' Tensou Techniques.[28] Additionally, he mastered the forbidden End (エンド, Endo) Tensou Technique, which allows the user to resurrect Earth's creatures, and used it as the basis for the Nega End (ネガー・エンド, Negā Endo) technique, which has the opposite effect and causes a mass extinction.[28]
Throughout the series, Brajira wears different armor to fit into several villainous organizations as their strategists and substitute leaders. He can also produce duplicates of his past forms and/or use the Camoumirage Tensou Technique to shapeshift between them.[39]
- Buredoran of the Comet (彗星のブレドラン, Suisei no Buredoran):[44][43] Brajira's treehopper-themed form, which he first assumed after he traveled to the present and joined the Warstar in their attack against Earth, fighting the Goseigers personally whenever their Tensou Techniques or weaknesses are exploited. In this form, Brajira wields the Buredolancer (ブレドランサー, Buredoransā) and can perform the Comet Bullet (彗星弾, Suisei Dan) attack.[43]
- Buredoran of the Chupacabra (チュパカブラの武レドラン, Chupakabura no Buredoran): Brajira's house centipede-themed form, which he assumed while operating as the Yuumajuu's strategist.[32][45] In this form, he wields the Buredolicer (武レドライサー, Bredoraisā) claws.[45][50][51]
- Buredoran of Chimatsuri (血祭のブレドラン, Chimatsuri no Buredoran): Brajira's antlion-themed form that resembles the Gedoushu's fallen leader, Doukoku, which he used to assume leadership of the Gedoushu during the events of Tensou Sentai Goseiger vs. Shinkenger: Epic on Ginmaku.[52][39] In this form, Brajira wields a broadsword similar to Doukoku's Shōryū Bakuzantō and can perform the Gedou Chimatsuri Bullet (外道血祭弾, Gedō Chimatsuri Dan) attack.[39]
- Buredo-RUN of the Cyborg (サイボーグのブレドRUN, Saibōgu no Buredoran): Brajira's ammonite-themed Matroid form.[46][53] In this form, Brajira wields the BuredoLaunchers (ブレドランチャー, Buredoranchā) and the Buremerangs (ブレメラン, Buremeran).[46]
Brajira is voiced by Nobuo Tobita (飛田 展男, Tobita Nobuo).[6][44][28]
Bibi
[edit]The poisonous, cycloptic, bat-like Bibi Bugs (ビービ虫, Bībi Mushi) are living products of the dark aspects of previous alien races that Warstar conquered.[43] They are usually deployed to enlarge targets, both living creatures and inanimate objects such as the Erurei Box alike. By merging with dolls, the Bibi Bugs transform into the humanoid Demon Bug Soldiers Bibi (魔虫兵ビービ, Machūhei Bībi), armed with various weapons to support the evil organizations that Brajira aligns himself with.[43] Over the course of the series, Brajira keeps the Bibi Bugs' hive in order to utilize them for Warstar and the Yuumajuu until Kinggon takes it. Following the Yuumajuu's death, Metal Alice claims the hive and modifies the Bibi Bugs into Bibi Nails for the Matrintis Empire's purposes.[46]
While most of the Bibi Bugs are destroyed following Brajira's death, during the events of the special Tensou Sentai Goseiger Returns, one surviving specimen called the King Bibi Bug (キングビービ虫, Kingu Bībi Mushi) possesses Yumeko Hoshino in an attempt to seek revenge on the Goseigers and feed on the darkness in humans' hearts. He gains the ability to evolve into a humanoid form called King Bibi (キングビービ, Kingu Bībi),[54] but the Goseigers foil his plans before destroying him with Ground Gosei Great.[54]
King Bibi is voiced by Kenji Nomura (乃村 健次, Nomura Kenji).[54]
Dark Headders
[edit]Similarly to the Gosei Angels, Brajira utilizes Dark Headders (ダークヘッダー, Dāku Heddā), multi-headed monsters meant to become wedges as part of their master's Nega End (ネガー・エンド, Negā Endo) ceremony.[28] Like normal Headders, the Dark Headders can also serve as armaments.[28] They are each based on two mythological beasts and one weapon, and named after a fantasy film series, with the heads' individual names divided in Japanese by the interpunct.
- Namono-Gatari of the Ortaurus Headder (オルトウロスヘッダーのナモノ・ガタリ, Orutōrosu Heddā no Namono Gatari): The two-headed, Orthrus/Minotaur/ono-themed Namono (ナモノ) and Gatari (ガタリ) are the first of the Dark Headders to fight the Goseigers.[28] They possess incredible teamwork and regenerative properties unless their horns are cut off simultaneously. After they are destroyed by the Landick siblings and enlarged by the Bibi Bugs, Namono-Gatari allow themselves to be destroyed by Landick Gosei Great so they can transform into the Land Wedge (土の楔, Tsuchi no Kusabi) for the Nega End ceremony. Namono-Gatari are voiced by Takahiro Imamura (今村 卓博, Imamura Takahiro) and Kyōsei Tsukui (津久井 教生, Tsukui Kyōsei) respectively.[28]
- Bari-Boru-Dara of the Uniberus Headder (ユニベロスヘッダーのバリ・ボル・ダラ, Yuniberosu Heddā no Bari Boru Dara): The three-headed, unicorn/Cerberus/yari-themed Bari (バリ), Boru (ボル), and Dara (ダラ) who possess the ability to transform into a right-handed gauntlet.[28] After being weakened by the Skick and Landick Goseigers and enlarged by the Bibi Bugs, Bari-Boru-Dara allow themselves to be destroyed by Seaick Gosei Great so they can transform into the Sea Wedge (海の楔, Umi no Kusabi) for the Nega End ceremony. Bari-Boru-Dara are voiced by Hisao Egawa (江川 央生, Egawa Hisao).[28]
- Lo-O-Za-Ri of the Hydrapan Headder (ヒドラパーンヘッダーのロー・オ・ザー・リ, Hidorapān Heddā no Rō O Zā Ri): The four-headed, hydra/Pan/drill-themed Lo (ロー, Rō), O (オ), Za (ザー, Zā), and Ri (リ) who possess the ability to transform into a left-handed drill, arm blades that they can shoot off, and green eye beams.[28] After being enlarged by the Bibi Bugs, Ro-O-Za-Ri allow themselves to be destroyed by Datas Hyper and Gosei Ultimate so they can transform into the Sky Wedge (空の楔, Sora no Kusabi) for the Nega End ceremony. Ro-O-Za-Ri are voiced by Hiroshi Yanaka (家中 宏, Yanaka Hiroshi).[28]
