| 193 | |
| 194 | A guitar and vocalist for the up-and-coming band "Black Eagle", Jeff was a fairly regular guy until a meteroite happened to land right in front of him. Waking up in the Skyforce infirmary, he was informed that he'd been exposed to Birdonic energy and asked to join the team, which he eagerly agreed to do. By nature, he's a sensitive and emotional person with a big heart. |

| 197 | * ContrastingSequelProtagonist: To the late Gai Yuki, who is also his {{Foil}} in many ways: Gai is a pure Japanese black Jetman themed after a condor, while Jeff is a Japanese-European green Jetman themed after an eagle. Gai is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold and TheDandy, while Jeff is a [[NiceGuy well-mannered]] guitarist with the FaceOfAThug. And lastly, Gai didn't asked to be a Jetman in the first place and had to be convinced multiple times, while Jeff becomes very gung-ho when the Jetmen invited him to join them. |
| 198 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: When he was a small child, the hardships Jeff's mother suffered were such that she planned a MurderSuicide and even began choking him, talking about how they could be happy in the afterlife. Fortunately, she snapped out of it and those days are long past. If you can't believe it, he says they even laugh about it. So when Ryu talks about how ''he'' and ''Kaori'' need to be the ones to kill Buma if she can't be saved, because she's ''their'' daughter, Jeff is brought to [[TenderTears tears]]. |
| 199 | * EmpoweredBadassNormal: Ruma's last act before perishing is to fuse him with Vyram cells from Mina, the entity she was controlling. This gives him a temporary HealingFactor and later allows the team to restore life to Aya once again. |
| 200 | * FaceOfAThug: Kind of. He's taller than most people in Japan, and when the encountered the meteor, he was decked out in rock and roll gear with pierced ears, etc, as well as having startling blue eyes and blonde hair. The team were a bit startled when he turned out to be a cheerful, ebullient person. |
| 201 | * {{Fainting}}: A meteorite landed practically at his feet so passing out from shock is only natural. |
| 202 | * {{Fanboy}}: For Jetman, and a massive follower of Ako's career. |
| 203 | * HeroicSacrifice: In order to restore Aya, he consents to a risky operation in which the cells from Mina are transplanted into Aya's body and his energy transferred into her. They both survive thanks to an infusion of energy from the other Jetman and a bit of help from the other side. |
| 204 | * JumpedAtTheCall: He was a big fan of the Jetman (particularly Ako) and so when they told him he'd been exposed to Birdonic Waves and asked him to join the team it was a dream come true. |
| 205 | * NobleBirdOfPrey: He has an eagle motiff. |
| 206 | * OfficialCouple: He had a crush on Ako, she started out thinking he was a "Heavy-Metal Idiot". But then she saw his tender, brave, self-sacrificing side and fell for him. |
| 207 | * PhenotypeStereotype: Being Half-European in a manga, naturally he has blue eyes and blonde hair. He's also extremely tall compared to his friends and teammates. |
| 208 | * SixthRanger: ZigZagged. While he is the sixth person to join the team, with a unique colour and Ranger name to boot, its to replace a previous member. |
| 209 | * TenderTears: He's a ''very'' soft-hearted person. |
| 210 | * ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself: An interesting case. Radiguet strikes at the team by kidnapping Ryu and Kaori's baby daughter Aya and quick-raising her into the older villainess Buma. Since he's the only member of the team without a connection Aya, Jeff volunteers to take the burden off of the others' shoulders by fighting her alone. The team doesn't allow it, though. |

| 216 | The team's superior officer and mentor. A fair but firm woman whose not afraid to join her team in the field when needed. |
| 217 | ---- |
| 218 | * BadassNormal: She's not a SuperSoldier like the Jetman team, but she's still manages to be this trope. |
| 219 | * BigGood: She's the main benefactor of the Jetman and the one responsible for organizing them to fight the Vyram. |
| 220 | * TheCaptain: She has the distinction of being the first female commander in the ''Super Sentai'' series. Appropriately enough, everyone calls her "commander". |
| 221 | * DaChief: She's the officer in Skyforce who oversees the Jetman. |
| 222 | * EleventhHourRanger: While she never becomes a Jetman herself, on several occasions towards the end, she goes to back up the Neo-Jetman solo against Meteor B.E.M and later she pilots Jet Garuda to join the Jetmen in battle. |
| 223 | * FantasticVoyagePlot: In Episode 43 the Jetman (minus Kaori) shrink Jet Icarus to go inside her body to fight Bio Dimension Beast. |
| 224 | * TheMentor: To the Jetman. She's the one who preps them to do battle. |
| 225 | * MissionControl: Her usual role for the Jetman. |
| 226 | * TeamMom: There are a lot of episodes where she feels more like a mother to each of the team members rather than their commanding officer, particularly in episode 36 when she takes them all on vacation. In episode 27, an old friend of hers even tells her she's "raised nice kids" in reference to the Jetmen. This is one factor that indicates how she's a superior leader to her supposed superior Ichijou, given that she managed to slowly but surely mold a bunch of civilians and her sole surviving soldier into an experienced, seamless, and effective fighting team that have beaten the Vyram time and again and far better than a trained squad of supposedly superior replacements. |
| 227 | * SexyMentor: She's The Mentor, strikingly beautiful, and only a few years older than the Jetman team. |
| 228 | * TheSmartGirl: The Jetmen don't really have a Smart Guy among them, so it's usually Aya who handles most of these aspects, acting as TheStrategist and providing the team with technical support. |

| 233 | * ArcVillain: Of episodes 40-41, and even though Meteor BEM was the MonsterOfTheWeek of those episodes, Ichijou was one who drove the conflict towards the Jetmen with his replacement team. |
| 234 | * BadBoss: Treats his Neo-Jetmen as expendable, even hurting them when they retreated from battling Meteor BEM and leaving them to die when the monster attacked headquarters. |
| 235 | * DirtyCoward: When Meteor BEM barged in the main control room that he was in, Ichijou told the monster to stay back and threw objects before being injured. |
| 236 | * EvilIsPetty: When Aya told him to fire her, Ichijou declined, telling her that she would suffer like he did. |
| 237 | * GreenEyedMonster: Feeling extremely envious of Odagiri, Ichijou felt that the commander's position was supposed to be his and established the Neo-Jetmen to take her position. |
| 238 | * HateSink: In a series where the villain faction is led by abusive and sadistic backstabbers towards even each other who do many horrible things, this guy stands out as truly detestable due to as an immoral sociopath even though he's supposed to be on the side of good. |
| 239 | * HumansAreBastards: Aya told Ichijou of how much of a pathetic excuse of a human individual he was with how he treated her and everyone else. |
| 240 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Had his Neo-Jetmen boot out the Jetmen and caused an extreme amount of disgust from the team and Aya. |
| 241 | * LackOfEmpathy: Only cared about his position and as stated by Aya, Ichijou doesn't have any human decency or remorse for his actions. |
| 242 | * TheNeidermeyer: Acts extremely strict and abusive towards both the Jetmen and his Neo-Jetmen, even telling the latter team to protect the base at all costs. |
| 243 | * TheSociopath: Ichijou [[ItsAllAboutMe only cares about himself and his career]], [[BadBoss doesn't give a damn about the Neo-Jetmen he established]], [[EvilIsPetty acts rather spiteful towards Aya]], and when Meteor BEM entered headquarters, Ichijou [[LackOfEmpathy locked his team and Aya towards the monster's location, aggressively commanding them to protect the base, not even caring that they might get killed by the monster in the process.]] |
| 244 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Of Skyforce as a whole, given how much of a selfish, abusive commander he was, in contrast to the Jetmen, Aya, and the Neo-Jetmen. |
| 245 | * TyrantTakesTheHelm: Was the one responsible for the Neo-Jetmen and took Aya's commander position to boot out the Jetmen. |
| 246 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Upon being attacked by Meteor BEM, he was never seen again. J1 just mentioned that Ichijou was physically fine from the attack, but wouldn't end up commanding anytime soon. |

| 255 | * TheLeader: J1 is the field leader of the team. |
| 256 | * SmugSuper: Arrogantly declare themselves superior to the recently depowered Jetman. |
| 257 | * TokenGoodTeammate: J1. While at first he was just as arrogant and rude to the main team as the rest of his squad but after they rescued them from their first disastrous mech battle he began treating them with far more respect, while the other Neo-Jetman kept acting like jerks. He is also clearly not on board with how his superior treats Odagiri or that he lies about the possibility of the team regaining their lost powers when he apologizes to them when his team forces them out of Sky Camp . |
| 258 | * UnskilledButStrong: Because they have Birdonic reactors implanted in their chests they're actually stronger then the original team before they lost their powers, however they lack their experience which is part of the reason why they decide to drain their reactors so their predecessors could resume the fight. |

| 314 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: All of the leaders the Vyram went through (Juuza, [[spoiler:Tranza]] and [[spoiler:Radiguet]]) got there by being stronger than the other executives and claiming the throne by force. |
| 315 | * BigBadEnsemble: At the beginning the Vyram lacked a leader among them, so the BigBad role was more or less split between the four executives (Radiguet, Tran, Grey and Maria), though they're all competing to become leader by seeing who can kill the Jetmen. |
| 316 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: The Zone from ''Series/ChikyuuSentaiFiveman'' were a league of alien invaders all unified towards the same goal, while the Vyram are interdimensional invaders with no centralized leadership who feud with each other almost as much as they do the heroes they fight. |
| 317 | * DeadlyDecadentCourt: Evil nobles who plot against each other just as much as they do the heroes. |
| 318 | * DimensionLord: They already took over their own home universe of the Back Dimension before coming to ours. |
| 319 | * EnemyCivilWar: They're more-or-less engaged in a cold war for most of the series, as they're all competing to become leader by defeating the Jetmen. It later gets hot when [[spoiler:Juuza arrives and the executives all rebel against her, and gets hot again when Tranza takes power and Radiguet and the others begin scheming against him.]] |

| 327 | One of the Vyram elites spearheading the attack of Earth. He thinks of nothing and nobody but himself, not even his queen, and would pull every dirty trick available to make himself the supreme ruler of the universe, including betrayal. And he's not above betraying his fellow Vyrams. |
| 328 | ---- |
| 329 | * ArchEnemy: He's this to the Jetman in general, but Ryu and him share a special hatred of each other. Among the ''Super Sentai'' main villains, he stands as one of the most personal in the franchise. |
| 330 | * AristocratsAreEvil: While all of the Vyram are elitist nobles, Radiguet stands out as a particularly cruel. He's also the only one to have an aristocratic title, as ''Count'' Radiguet. |
| 331 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: [[spoiler:Prior to his final battle with the Jetman team's HumongousMecha, he gets a weak spot on his back, from the sword stab Maria/Rie gave him in her last act, which is amplified to a massive wound when he transforms into his Raguem form. The Jetman piloting Jet Icarus succeed in killing him by stabbing his back with the Birdonic Saber while Ryu holds him in place with Jet Garuda to ensure he won't escape]]. |
| 332 | * BigBad: [[spoiler:Ultimately, he becomes the show's undisputed main villain having usurped all the others. He also stands as the Jetman's most personal enemy during the series as well having put them though immense horrors even before he officially claimed the title.]] |
| 333 | * BloodFromTheMouth: He coughs up blood after [[spoiler: he is fatally stabbed in the back by Jet Icarus]]. |
| 334 | * BodyHorror: As Raguem, his [[BellyMouth head located on his stomach]] with his face transitioning from its usual vistage to Radigan's. |
| 335 | * ChekhovsGun: In episode 17, Empress Juuza punishes the traitorous Radiguet by erasing his memories and giving him a human form before banishing him to Earth, to have him live as a "human vermin". Radiguet not only recovers from this very soon, but ends up using his human form much later [[spoiler:to trick Ryu into helping him defeat Tranza]]. |
| 336 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: |
| 337 | ** To Captain Garoa, each being their leader's righthand and bear a grudge on a red ranger for an attack on the face. But Garoa has UndyingLoyalty to Meadow with a [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red and black color scheme]] and suffers VillainDecay that ultimately turns him into a ButtMonkey, Radiget is [[TheStarscream treacherous]] with blue and silver color scheme who manages to take over Vyram. |
| 338 | ** To Vulgyre, each being a FinalBoss who manipulated heroes and villains alike to suit his goals and fights the former in an EldritchAbomination form with the villians' base intergrated in it. But Vulgyre is a LivingShip that intentionally evolved into his Super Galactic Beast form, while Radiget's Raguem form was an unexpected side-effect of asborbing Veronica's energies and converted the Vylock into protective armor. |
| 339 | * DeadHatShot: When he's finally destroyed, the only thing left is his helmet. |
| 340 | * DemotedToDragon: He was the biggest contender for BigBad early into the series, but after Juuza arrives he's forced to serve her again. [[spoiler:Up until the Jetmen defeat her and he finishes her off an episode later, that is.]] Later, [[spoiler:he gets demoted again under Tranza, though he ends up usurping Tranza too.]] |
| 341 | * TheDragon: He's Juuza's favored minion and is even referred by her as her "best servant". At least until he tries backstabbing her... |
| 342 | * DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:He's the Vyram general who makes it to the BigBad spot.]] |
| 343 | * DyingCurse: [[spoiler: Just as he's dying, he vows that his soul will haunt the Jetmen forever, even after death.]] |
| 344 | * EmbodimentOfVice: Arrogance and Pride. He considers himself superior to humans, and everyone else. |
| 345 | * EnemyCivilWar: [[spoiler:He and Tranza end up feuding for control of the Vyram once Tranza rapidly matures. Radiguet is the one who comes out on top.]] |
| 346 | * EnemyMine: Teams up with the Jetmen at least twice to take down his rivals for the BigBad spot. |
| 347 | * EvilerThanThou: [[spoiler:Both Juuza and Tranza ultimately learned why underestimating him is a bad idea.]] |
| 348 | * FinalBoss: [[spoiler:He ends up becoming the very last threat the Jetmen has to fought... and how, it shows!]] |
| 349 | * AGodAmI: He claimed himself as a god when issuing Vyram's invasion declaration to Earth and curses Ryu for making him spill his "sacred blood" when he scarred his face. [[spoiler: He also claimed his "holy body was invincible" during the final battle, after his merger with the Vylock.]] |
| 350 | * TheHeavy: He's the most proactive of the Vyram and tends to take into the field often to get involved directly in whatever plan he's concocting or whatever battles he has to attend. |
| 351 | * IfICantHaveYou: [[spoiler: Inflicts this on Maria, with fatal results.]] |
| 352 | * IHaveYouNowMyPretty: His interactions with Maria border on this quite often, as he's almost always touching her face and reminding her she belongs to him. |
| 353 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: |
| 354 | ** At the conclusion of his battle with the Jetmen, [[spoiler:Ryu distracts Radiguet long enough for the Jet Icarus to stab the Birdonic Saber in his stomach]]. |
| 355 | ** And before that, [[spoiler:he was already backstabbed with a sword by Maria/Rie, which doesn't immediately kill him but gives him the weak spot in his back that enables Ryu to kill him with the Jet Icarus' Birdonic Saber]]. |
| 356 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Screw the rest of the Vyram. Radiguet wants to take everything for himself, even from his fellow elites. |
| 357 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He's a horrible monster, and will never accept that there could be a nice guy underneath that. [[KickTheDog It won't end well for the one who suggests it]]. There are moments where he'll show some sympathetic, noble, and humane qualities with Saki and Ryu but in the end, he'll always go back to being a ruthless bastard who takes the low road. |
| 358 | * KarmicDeath: He figuratively backstabs a female Vyram (his former boss, Empress Juuza) and indirectly defeats her by [[spoiler:telling the Jetmen to [[AttackItsWeakPoint attack her weak point]] (the gem on her forehead)]]. How does he die? [[spoiler:After gaining a weak point on his back, by being literally backstabbed by a former female Vyram, the Jetmen attack him in that wound]]. |
| 359 | * KickTheMoralityPet: [[spoiler:While rendered an amnesic human by Juuza, he was found by Saki and fell in love with her, curing her fatal illness. Then he got his memory back and helped the Jetman defeat Juuza, later killing her in her weakened state. When Saki pleas Radiguet to not forsake his gain humanity, he kills her. There's no regrets afterwards unlike the others in this trope, [[ButForMeItWasTuesday he treats it like just another Tuesday of his glorious, evil bastard life]] and continues with his Semimaru evil plan like nothing happened.]] |
| 360 | * KnightOfCerebus: In general, his plans tend to be much darker than his fellow Vyram officers. |
| 361 | * ManipulativeBastard: If he fell off the villain threat level (due to Juuza or Tranza), he usually resorts to this to get back to the top of the food chain, usually using the Jetmen as his pawns. |
| 362 | * MeaningfulName: "Radiguet" was also the last name of a French author who wrote a book called "Devil in the Flesh," which describes this Radiguet well. |
| 363 | * MinorInjuryOverreaction: During their first fight, Ryu manages to leave a cut on his face, causing him to go berserk. |
| 364 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: His cruel manipulation of Rie is what ultimately spelled his defeat; if she hadn't stabbed him, he wouldn't have had a weak point and the Jetmen wouldn't have been able to destroy him. |
| 365 | * NighInvulnerable: [[spoiler: His [[OneWingedAngel Raguem]] form is immune to Great Icarus' [[WaveMotionGun Bird Maser]], but gains a weak point due to a stab wound Rie inflicts on him before dying. He attempts to cover it with the armor formed from the Vylock, but Jet Garuda punches it off him, and grapples him long enough for Jet Icarus to impale him in the wound with the Birdonic Saber.]] |
| 366 | * OneWingedAngel: He has a more powerful, yet uglier form named Radigan that he transforms into when he gets really pissed. [[spoiler: He also gains a giant form later called Raguem from asborbing the Veronica's enegries, converting the Vylock base into armor in the finale.]] |
| 367 | * {{Pride}}: Defines him quite a lot. He takes his superiority against humans highly, and wants nothing than being on the top of the food chain and be the one to defeat Jetman, which led him to pull off several EnemyMine with the Jetman when his allies (Juza or Tranza) actually had them on the ropes, [[EvilWillFail and indirectly dooming Vyram because he's just too prideful and refuses to be someone else's subordinate or share his position with the others.]] |
| 368 | * RedemptionRejection: [[spoiler:After he got his memory back and killed Juuza, he had the opportunity to live among humans when Saki pleaded with him to stay with her. [[KickTheMoralityPet To say that he refused extremely understates his reaction]].]] |
| 369 | * RousseauWasRight: [[spoiler:While Radiguet himself is an irredeemable monster, when he has all his memories wiped and is sent down to Earth as a normal human, he actually becomes a really nice guy and even genuinely falls in love with someone. [[OhCrap Once he regains his memories, however...]]]] |
| 370 | * SpikesOfVillainy: In his regular blueskinned form he's the spikiest of the four Vyram and also the meanest bastard of them all. |
| 371 | * TechnicolorDeath: [[spoiler: After being impaled from behind by Jet Icarus, he curses the Jetmen before falling backward with the Jet Garuda, glowing with orange, firey energy and shooting out lighning in the five Jetman colors before being completely blown apart in a brilliant explosion.]] |
| 372 | * TheStarscream: He manages to usurp the leadership position from both Empress Juza and later Tranza. |
| 373 | * TheSociopath: Radiguet is a text-book example. He cares for no one but himself and intentionally sets out to hurt and cause misery to others. His ambitions, ego and total LackOfEmpathy compel him to relentlessly use both his enemies AND his would-be allies as pawns to achieve his goal of staying on top of them all. |
| 374 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: While not exclusive to him, among the Vyram, he makes the biggest habit of saving the Jetmen so he can kill them himself. |
| 375 | * TookALevelInBadass: While he was never harmless, he still tended to fall victim to TheWorfEffect to show off a new threat like Juuza or Tranza (though he will come back to one-up them), but after draining the power from Tranza's Veronica robot, aside from the [[spoiler: OneWingedAngel]] above, he also manages to NoSell the Fire Bazooka. |
| 376 | * UngratefulBastard: Does owe the Jetmen for not being stuck as somebody's minion, but never changes his opinion of them, and the feeling is mutual. |
| 377 | * VillainHasAPoint: He's actually half right when he declares that HumansAreBastards to justify his assault, seeing that there's someone as petty as [[TheNeidermeyer Commander Ichijou]]. |
| 378 | * VillainousCrush: On [[spoiler: Rie, hence turning her into Maria]], and a truly sick one at that, as his actions are less about having any feelings for her ([[ItsAllAboutMe he only cares about himself]]) as much as desiring to possess and control her, even if it means reducing her to a mindless beast. |
| 379 | * VillainousRescue: When the Jetman team are on the ropes due to Juuza and Tranza's schemes, Radiguet ends up saving the heroes twice, in order to dispose of his competitors for the position of Vyram leader, and also because [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou he feels he's the only one entitled to defeat the Jetmen]]. He even goes so far as to verbally encourage Ryu when the latter's determination to defeat Tranza starts faltering. |

| 399 | * HumanAliens: He stands out among the four Vyram elite by looking like a human, while Radiguet has blue skin and thus clearly alien, Grey is a robot alien and Maria [[spoiler:is actually fully human]]. His visor is not part of his head (he takes it out prior to growing up into Tranza). Although he does display special powers of his own, he lacks OneWingedAngel forms like Radiguet or Juuza. [[spoiler: When he as Tranza winds up as a drooling and screaming vegetable following his brutal defeat by the Jetmen, and subsequent physical and mental torture by Radiguet, the doctors observing him don't mention anything weird about his physiology, other than brain damage]]. |
| 400 | * KidAppealCharacter: Villainous version as Tran, being the only kid member of the Vyram. |
| 401 | * KidsAreCruel: Tran — he's going to bully the entire mankind for his own amusement. |
| 402 | * KnightOfCerebus: Empress Juuza may have established the darker tone and Radiguet may have darker plans overall, but Tran's [[spoiler:growth into Emperor Tranza]] marked the end to the series' overall comedic tone and set the stage for the rapidly darkening finale. |
| 403 | * PlotRelevantAgeUp: [[spoiler:The taunts of the other Vyram eventually forces him to trigger his rapid maturity into Tranza through force of will.]] |
| 404 | * PsychopathicManchild: His mentality after evolving into Tranza just got even worse as he enjoys making everyone's lives a living hell for his own sick pleasure. |
| 405 | * RoyalRapier: As Tranza, his personal weapon (called "Boltranza" in additional material) takes on this shape. |
| 406 | * SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:Radiguet spares his life only to spend the rest of his days as a powerless human and in a vegative state. While a act of sadism, Radiguet unknowingly made him only surviving member of the Vyram high command.]] |
| 407 | * TagalongKid: For the Vyram, considering he's just a child while the other Vyram are adults, which naturally leads to them all looking down on him. |
| 408 | * TookALevelInBadass: Before while he was never harmless as Tran, he was never as much of a threat as the rest of the Vyram. [[spoiler: As Tranza, the first things he does are solo the Jetmen and then the rest of the Vyram and establish himself at the BigBad. He's only defeated in the end because Radiguet helped Ryū defeat him.]] |

| 411 | [[folder:Grey]] |
| 412 | !!Grey | [-Actor: Hideaki Kusaka (suit and voice)-] |
| 413 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grey_3.jpg]] |
| 414 | |
| 415 | * AffablyEvil: Grey is just as much of a ruthless conqueror as his fellow Vyram elites, but [[EvenEvilHasStandards he has no intentions to mock any of his friends or enemies whatsoever]] (except Tran after he proved annoying enough). He is even on good terms with his rival Gai [[spoiler:who finds him so likeable that in their last battle it takes Grey forcing his hand so they can turn their duel into one to the death as Gai stated outright he didn't want to end him]]. |
| 416 | * AlienBlood: Shows green blood (or oil) [[spoiler:when Gai stabs him at the end of their FinalBattle]]. |
| 417 | * AntiVillain: [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Type I]]. A contrast from his rival Gai. |
| 418 | * ArmCannon: Has machine gun blasters built into his forearms. |
| 419 | * BirdsOfAFeather: Him and Maria have a shared love of music, arts and combat, which is why they get along so well and implicitly fall in love. |
| 420 | * TheBrute: A skilled warrior and the Vyram member who usually takes to the field when power is needed. Interestingly enough, his personality contrasts his strength as he is placid, thoughtful, affable and honorable; especially compared to the more petty and cruel fellow Vyram elites. |
| 421 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Is in love with Maria and unlike Radiguet, he actually cares about her beyond a lustful possessive attraction. [[spoiler: Even when she is reverted back to her human form and turns good, he still loved her and stayed with her in her final moments after she begged Ryu to leave her to die and forget about her, allowing her to pass on peacefully.]] |
| 422 | * FingerSnapLighter: His lighter is literally built into his hand. |
| 423 | * {{Foil}}: To Gai. They're quite similar, in that they smoke, drink, gamble and love women [[spoiler: who they didn't get in the end. And they also die similarly, fatally stabbed but [[GoOutWithASmile happily]], without regrets.]] However, Gai is undoubtedly a good guy, if an AntiHero, while Grey is a bad guy, although more of an AntiVillain. |
| 424 | * GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:When Gai finally defeats and kills him in episode 50, he condones his rival for his success and dies at peace after Gai helps him light up his last cigar.]] |
| 425 | * HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler: He dies peacefully on episode 50 after swearing off the Vyram cause, simply because without Maria/Rie around to serve as a reason to live, he feels no motivation to go on either as a good or bad guy.]] |
| 426 | * {{Irony}}: Despite being a robot among villains who look like humans beside their costumes (and skin color in Radiguet's case), he ends up being the most human out of all the Vyram. |
| 427 | * LadyAndKnight: The Black Knight to Maria's Dark Lady. He develops feelings for her and comes to her defense when she's attacked by the Jetmen a few times. |
| 428 | * LastVillainStand: [[spoiler:He doesn't bothers supporting Radiguet as the leader once Maria/Rie dies and instead fights Gai one-on-one to settle the score in a duel to the death that he forces Gai to engage into, as he has nothing else left to live for.]] |
| 429 | * LightsOffTheirEyes: Unusually for a Toku villain (especially for a robotic one) [[spoiler: DefeatEqualsExplosion is not in effect, and he quietly powers down after Gai fatally stabs him and lights his last cigar.]] |
| 430 | * MeaningfulName: His color scheme also happens to be mostly grey. He's also rather gray in the moral scale as well, not being a blackhearted monster like Radiguet but also not a good guy either. |
| 431 | * NobleDemon: The only member of the Vyram who's not entirely malicious. Grey has [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy a warrior's sense of honor]], has [[WickedCultured a taste for things like fine wine and classical music]], eventually develops feelings for his fellow Vyram elite Maria, and is [[AffablyEvil a pretty friendly guy]] to be around otherwise. |
| 432 | * OneLastSmoke: [[spoiler:After Gai inflicts a fatal wound on him, he tries to light himself a cigar one last time but finds he can't raise his arm high enough. Gai then lights it for him.]] |
| 433 | * PreFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Granted it's only Gai who fights him, but his fight comes immediately before the FinalBattle against Radiguet.]] |
| 434 | * ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Grey considers himself first and foremost a warrior, and has the pride of such. He's not above using underhanded tactics or setting up things to his advantage in normal combat, but if he incurs in a duel or competition under a strict set of rules, or if he gives his word to abide some sort of deal with an enemy, he will honor it. |
| 435 | * TheQuietOne: While he certainly can speak, he's not a guy of many words, prefering just being silent most of the time. |
| 436 | * RidiculouslyHumanRobot: He loves cigarettes, wine, music, and Maria! |
| 437 | * TheRival: To Gai. The two clash several times throughout the show and [[spoiler:Grey's FinalBattle is a one-on-one duel with Gai.]] |
| 438 | * ShoulderCannon: His robotic body includes some kind of laser cannon that he normally carries on his back, but deploys it over his shoulder to actually fire it. |
| 439 | * SmokingIsCool: So much that [[spoiler:[[OneLastSmoke Grey smokes as he dies from fighting against Gai Yuuki/Black Condor]].]] |
| 440 | * TearsFromAStone: Grey actually sheds tears when [[spoiler: Maria/Rie dies. And his tears transform her corpse into little lights scattered by the winds.]] |
| 441 | * TragicRobot: [[spoiler:He's a robot, but he's arguably the most human of the Vyram. His final stand, unlike Radiguet and Tranza's respective ones, is played for tragedy as even Gai doesn't wants to kill him and Grey forces his hand as without Maria he has nothing left to live for.]] |
| 442 | * WickedCultured: Drinks red wine, smokes fancy cigarettes, listens to (and learns to play) classical music on a phonograph, always makes sure his equipment is polished, and plays roulette. |
| 443 | * WorthyOpponent: Sees Gai as this, to the point where [[spoiler:he's content to die in a duel against him, [[GracefulLoser genuinely commending]] Black Condor for defeating him.]] |
| 444 | [[/folder]] |
| 445 | |
| 446 | [[folder:Maria]] |
| 447 | !!Maria[[spoiler:/Rie Aoi]] [-Actor: Maho Maruyama-] |
| 448 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maria_jetman2.jpg]] |
| 449 | |
| 450 | * AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:She was the lover of TheHero who was captured and brainwashed at the start of the series while he believed her dead. Poor girl, she was manipulated (and even turned into a bloodthirsty vampire monster) for almost the entire series and only ever achieved [[RedemptionEqualsDeath some little redemption by dying]] [[DyingAsYourself as herself]]. And she [[DidNotGetTheGirl didn't get the guy]], or any guy, not even a chance of happiness with Grey.]] |
| 451 | * AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear if she actually died and was brought back by Radiguet as a villain, or if he just snatched her as she was sucked up by the vortex of space and brainwashed her afterwards. |
| 452 | * TheBaroness: She's beautiful, [[IceQueen cold]] to her allies (well, [[AHouseDivided if we can call the Vyram that]]...), [[{{Sadist}} cruel]] to her enemies, fights often with [[WhipOfDominance a whip]] not unlike a {{Dominatrix}}, she is a [[DarkActionGirl legitimate threat to the Jetmen in combat]], and has [[AmbitionIsEvil evil ambitions]] of conquest of her own. Oh, and she still has a few guys (from both sides of the conflict, no less) [[DudeMagnet carrying torches for her]]. She more than qualifies... |
| 453 | * BeyondRedemption: [[spoiler:What ''she'' sees herself as, when Ryu tries to help her after she recovers her memories as a human for the last time, she proclaims that she has done too much evil to join the good guys' side or be a human anymore and goes back to Radiguet's side... This turns out to be just a ruse to stab him in the back as payback for what he did to her, but when she is mortally wounded in turn, she rejects Ryu's help in trying to save her and basically begs him to forget about her and leave her to die, implicitly seeing her death as her punishment for the evil deeds she carried out as Maria, better reflected in her last moments where she laments being unable to reunite with Ryu as she dies in Grey's arms.]] |
| 454 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: She had her memories wiped by Radiguet to convert her into a member of the Vyram. Downplayed in that she has no loyalty whatsoever to Radiguet even after he brainwashes her (and twice at that). Instead, she believes to be yet another Vyram elite destined to conquer and rule Earth for herself.]] |
| 455 | * ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:She inflicted a mortal injury on Radiguet's body that allowed the Jetmen to finally kill him.]] |
| 456 | * DarkActionGirl: Maria is very powerful, to the point of being able to go toe-to-toe with the Jetmen. |
| 457 | * DudeMagnet: Grey is in love with Maria, and Radiguet desires her for himself, [[spoiler: so much that he forcibly brainwashed her into evil.]] And then there's [[spoiler: Ryu with who she was in a relationship with before her "death".]] |
| 458 | * DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler:After she regains her memories of her old self, Radiguet kills her when she stabs him in the back. She spends her last moments reluctantly rejecting Ryu so he won't bother to save her, as she feels so much remorse over her evil deeds that she feels she doesn't deserves any redemption]]. |
| 459 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite her cold demeanor, she did seem to genuinely care for Grey and it was implied she might have returned his feelings. [[spoiler:So much that as Rie, despite her painful final moments, she finds a semblance of peace dying in Grey's arms.]] |
| 460 | * EvilGenius: Downplayed most of the time, but she's the one who created the Bio Dimensional Bugs the Vyram use to upgrade their MonsterOfTheWeek later on. |
| 461 | * FallenHero: [[spoiler:She was one of the original members of Skyforce and was set to become White Swan, at least until she was lost in the Vyram's first attack and was later found and {{Brainwashed}} by Radiguet.]] |
| 462 | * ILetGwenStacyDie: [[spoiler:While Ryu manages to help her regain her memories, he ultimately fails to save her and the guilt of it greatly affects him until [[SecondLove Kaori]] helps him heal.]] |
| 463 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:Mortally wounded, she pleas Ryu to forget about her, move on, and be happy.]] |
| 464 | * LadyAndKnight: The Dark Lady to Grey's Black Knight. |
| 465 | * TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:She's Rie Aoi, Ryu's love interest in the first episode who was seemingly [[ThrownOutOfTheAirlock killed]] in the first Vyram attack on the Skyforce station. Ryu believes her dead but still doesn't get over her demise, until he watches Maria reverting to her human form much later. Only for her to actually [[KilledOffForReal perish for real]] some episodes later and becomes this to ''Grey'' in the process, leading to the latter's last stand against Gai as he has nothing else left to live for.]] |
| 466 | * OurVampiresAreDifferent: Gets turned into a vampiress by Radiguet's blood parasite in the last arc of the series, with the intent to make her more powerful and simultaneously slowly brainwash her into Radiguet's slave. |
| 467 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: She dies in her efforts to [[spoiler:kill Radiguet, though she considers herself irredeemable regardless of her atonement]]. |
| 468 | * TheseHandsHaveKilled: [[spoiler:Even if not on the verge of death, Rie tells Ryu that she killed too many people as Maria to return to a normal life.]] |
| 469 | * UnknownRival: It’s clear none of the others take her seriously in the competition for leadership and it’s implied even if she were to win they wouldn’t follow her anyway. [[spoiler:Likely because unlike them she’s a full human.]] |
| 470 | * WalkingSpoiler: Considering she's [[spoiler:Rie Aoi, Ryu's original lover]]. |
| 471 | * WhipOfDominance: She's a [[IceQueen cold]], {{sadist}}ic DarkActionGirl who wields a whip called "[[NamedWeapons Necrod]]" in combat. It can actually [[MorphWeapon adopt gun, sword and whip forms]], but [[WeaponSpecialization the whip seems to be her main weapon]]. |
| 472 | * WickedCultured: She likes to play the piano, [[spoiler:which is a memento of her past life as Rie]]. |
| 473 | [[/folder]] |
| 474 | |
| 475 | [[folder:Empress Juuza]] |
| 476 | !!Empress Juuza | [-Actor: Sachiko Takato-] |
| 477 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/empress_juza.jpg]] |
| 478 | * ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Her subordinates detest serving her after her return, and only do so out of fear for just how powerful she is. |
| 479 | * AGodAmI: A God complex with a side of EvilMatriarch, as she fancies herself the "Mother of all Creation". |
| 480 | * AndIMustScream: Looks to inflict this on mankind. Her EvilPlan involved trapping dozens of people in crystal pillars so she could extract their pain to feed to Semimaru. |
| 481 | * AxCrazy: She's completely off her rocker, letting out a psychotic EvilLaugh at the site of dozens of people suffering. |
| 482 | * BadBoss: All the other Vyram commanders dislike her and her tyranny, eventually leading to [[spoiler:Radiguet rebelling and helping the Jetman to defeat her, while the others don't even bother interfering with him]]. |
| 483 | * BigBad: Is the empress of the Vyram and the driving force behind their conquest. One she comes back it's immediately clear who's in charge. [[spoiler:Of course, she only holds the spot for two episodes, after which it goes back to the Vyram not having a straight leader]]. |
| 484 | * ColdBloodedTorture: Inflicts this en masse by [[BodyHorror forcibly growing crystals out from underneath the skin]] of dozens of civilians, so she can collect their pain and suffering to feed to Semimaru to make it hatch. |
| 485 | * DimensionLord: She's the original ruler of the Back Dimension the Vyram originate from, having become its despot through conquest. |
| 486 | * TheDreaded: The other Vyram clearly fear her presence and even though they'd all like to be EvilOverlord, they bow before her out of fear for what she could do to them. Only Radiguet is willing to even go against her, which proves to be foolish when she immediately and easily overpowers (and depowers) him. |
| 487 | * TheEmperor: Or rather, the Empress. |
| 488 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Juuza was the original ruler of the Vyram, but for the most of the series she's absent (she claims she was regenerating and recharging her powers, after presumably millenia of waging wars and conquering worlds in her home dimension) and only actually appears for [[spoiler:two episodes before finally being killed]]. |
| 489 | * KnightOfCerebus: For the short time she was here, she showed how dark this show can really be. |
| 490 | * LightIsNotGood: Has a bright white color scheme and is also a vile and ruthless tyrant. |
| 491 | * OneWingedAngel: Like Radiguet, it's revealed she has a monstruous, more powerful form, "Demon Empress Juuza". She lacks a gigantic final form however. |
| 492 | * ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Having gone missing during the invasion of the Back Dimsension, Radiguet and the others assumed she died. But in actuality, she focused her attention on Semimaru's development and only returned once he is about to hatch. |
| 493 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:She lasts for all of two episodes before getting defeated.]] |
| 494 | [[/folder]] |
| 495 | [[folder:Grinam Soldiers]] |
| 496 | The grunts of Vyram. |
| 497 | ---- |

| 501 | |
| 502 | [[folder:Dimensional Beasts]] |

| 506 | * MakeMyMonsterGrow: If a Dimension Bug is still intact with a Dimensional Beast is destroyed, it will revive them into a giant. |
| 507 | * MidSeasonUpgrade: Into the ''Bio'' Dimensional Beasts halfway through. |
| 508 | * MonsterOfTheWeek: Most episodes see the Jetmen going up against one. |
| 509 | * TheVoiceless: A few of them talk, but most of them are just snarling beasts. |
| 510 | |
| 511 | !!Dimensional Bug Mother |
| 512 | A monster who served as the mother to the Dimension Bugs. Radiguet sent her to Earth to drain the energy from humans for her babies. |
| 513 | ---- |
| 514 | |
| 515 | * HumanResources: The main reason she attacked Earth was to gather energy for her Dimension Bugs, turning any unlucky human into [[EnergyAbsorption nourishing energy for her children.]] |
| 516 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: A regular monster that appeared in the first two episodes, but her children are the reason why the Jetman had to contend with multiple Dimensional Beasts after her death. |
| 517 | * StarterVillain: The first Dimensional Beast the Jetman fought. |
| 518 | * WouldHarmAChild: Two young boys were among its victims. |
| 519 | |

| 528 | A faucet themed Dimensional Beast. |

| 547 | * StarterVillain: For the main mecha of the series, Jet Icarus. |
