| 51 | * TheLancer: Team second-in-command and with a more laid back personality to contrast Kaijo's seriousness.

Notably though, he didn't join the team as a new ranger but to replace another one. |
| 84 | * StoutStrength: Like his predecessor, Daigoro's size goes hand in hand with his strength. |
| 85 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He was pretty much the same as Daita, and was introduced because Daita's actor was busy working on a different production. |

| 93 | ---- |
| 94 | * ButNotTooForeign: Her full name is always written in a western order ("Peggy Matsuyama" instead of "Matsuyama Peggy"), implying that she's not a native-born Japanese. Several fan sources support this theory, such as [[https://www.supersentai.com/database/1975_gorenger/rg-peggy.htm this link]], which states that she's half-Swiss on her father's side. This trope also shows up in the other ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' series Peggy's actress (Lisa Komaki) stars in, ''Battle Fever J'', where she provides the voice of a Japanese-American FBI agent named Diane Martin. |

| 121 | ---- |
| 122 | * BigGood: While Akaranger is TheLeader of the Gorengers, it's Edogawa who directs them and spearheads the wider campaign against the Black Cross Army. |
| 123 | * TheMentor: The superior to Gorengers and the one responsible for assembling them, often offering them guidance. |
| 124 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: In one episode he is kidnapped and interrogated by the Black Cross Army. He pretends to have nothing to do with EAGLE, insisting that he's nothing more than an innocent curry chef. |
| 125 | ** An early episode has him attempt this when some Zolders come to the curry shop. When his act fails, his immediate response is to [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking throw a knife into a Zolder's head]]. |

| 153 | An underground terrorist organization seeking to dominate the whole world and the main antagonists of the series. |
| 154 | ---- |
| 155 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: While they don't appear in the same series, Black Cross could be seen as the antithesis to Shocker from ''Series/KamenRider''. Whereas Shocker was a secret society which relied more on subterfuge and guerrilla tactics, Black Cross operates out in the open and seeks to conquer the world through militarized force. The contrast exists in their MonsterOfTheWeek motifs as well. Shocker's kaijin are mostly themed after animate beings such as plants and animals, while the Masked Monsters of Black Cross are moreso based off inanimate objects like mechanical devices or furniture. |
| 156 | * CoolMask: Their generals and [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters of the Week]] all wear flashy masks that indicate their motif. |
| 157 | * CreateYourOwnHero: Their attacks on five of EAGLE's Japanese branches causing five sole survivors of each branch to get together and become the Gorengers to counter the Black Cross Army's terrorism. |
| 158 | * FarEastAsianTerrorists: They operate internationally, but their main base is in Japan. |
| 159 | * NebulousEvilOrganization: They want to take over the world, enslave humanity and that's about it. A good number of their plans seem to be to just kill as many people as possible. |
| 160 | ** NebulousCriminalConspiracy: Black Cross also has ties with a number of other sinister groups including Black Hole, a global secret society that [[ArmsDealer deals weapons]]. |
| 161 | * NGOSuperpower: They haven't taken over the world yet, but possess enough resources and military might to wage wars on multiple fronts and fight a [[UnitedNationsIsASuperpower UN-backed]] military force. |
| 162 | * OffscreenVillainDarkMatter: Where does Black Cross get all their armies, munitions, [[CoolMask colorful masks]] and secret bases? Who knows!? [[spoiler:Their leader being an alien may have something do with it...]] |
| 163 | * TheRemnant: Following their destruction, leftover Zolders would go on to serve under [[Series/JAKQDengekitai Iron Claw and the Crime Big Four]] in ''JAKQ Dengekitai Vs Goranger''. |
| 164 | * SigilSpam: The Black Cross seem fond of showing off their emblem wherever they can. It's plastered on the belts of the Black Cross Army's members, on the flags the {{Mooks}} carry and all throughout their bases. |
| 165 | * UndyingLoyalty: Almost all members of the army have fervent, unbreaking loyalty to the Fuhrer. |

| 171 | |
| 172 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MitsuoAndo (1-55), Nobuo Yana (56-84), Creator/AkiraKamiya (''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'') |
| 173 | |
| 174 | The mysterious supreme leader of the Black Cross Army. |
| 175 | ---- |
| 176 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's the strongest by far of the Black Cross, able to easily take on and defeat all five Gorengers at once. |
| 177 | * BigBad: Appears as the main villain of both ''Gorenger'' and ''Film/GokaigerGoseigerSuperSentai199HeroGreatBattle''. |
| 178 | * CostumeEvolution: Initially the Fuhrer just wore white robes and a [[TheKlan Klan]]-like hood, but in episode 21 he suddenly had glowing eyes and a slit going from the bottom to the center of his hood. In episode 42 he changed his appearance again, discarding his hood for a headdress shaped like a black cross with smaller gold crosses adorned throughout it. |
| 179 | * DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: Is out to conquer the world, simply because he wants to rule it as emperor. |
| 180 | * EvilOverlord: Is incredibly powerful, highly intelligent, has an army of {{Cyborg}}s under his belt and is out to conquer the world through fear and terror. |
| 181 | * {{Expy}}: He bears more than a few similarities to the [[Franchise/KamenRider Great Leader]], being the high leader of a terrorist organization, dressing in [[TheKlan Klan]] robes initially and having his true identity be unknown. Only difference is the Fuhrer leads out in the open. |
| 182 | * FatalFlaw: {{Pride}}. The Fuhrer sees himself as the mightiest being on Earth and while he may have a legitimate claim to that, the idea that fate might not be in his favor leads him to go out and challenge the Gorengers just to prove himself the master of it [[spoiler:which ultimately leads to his demise.]] |
| 183 | * GeniusLoci: [[spoiler:He IS the Black Cross Castle.]] |
| 184 | * GloriousLeader: Commands absolute loyalty and reverence from his subjects and his end goal is to subjugate the world under a militaristic regime formed by his Black Cross Army. Evidenced by his title of "Soutou" (Japanese for supreme ruler of a nation) and commonly translated as "Fuhrer" due to its connotation with UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler. |
| 185 | * HatOfAuthority: In the second half of the show, he transforms from his cloaked form to wearing an oversized cross-shaped headress. |
| 186 | * InTheHood: In his first few appearances, he wears a hood over his head that makes him [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything look similar to a KKK member]]. |
| 187 | * LastVillainStand: [[spoiler:His armies depleted, the Fuhrer transforms into the Black Cross Castle and goes on one last bombing run to destroy as much as possible before being finally destroyed by the Gorengers.]] |
| 188 | * LightIsNotGood: Dresses in white robes, contrasting the [[EvilWearsBlack black clothing]] his subordinates usually wear. |
| 189 | * MechanicalAbomination: [[spoiler: His true form is a machine-like being capable of transforming into the Black Cross Castle.]] |
| 190 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:The final episode and 199 Hero Great Battle both see him assuming his Black Cross Castle form.]] |
| 191 | ** ClippedWingAngel:[[spoiler:However, in the former, because he's filled with explosives all it takes is for the Gorangers to ram their New Goranger Machines into him to bring him down]]. |
| 192 | * ReturningBigBad: Returns as the BigBad of the 35th anniversary {{Crossover}} movie, ''Film/GokaigerGoseigerSuperSentai199HeroGreatBattle'', which sees him coming back to get revenge on the Super Sentai. |
| 193 | * ScrewDestiny: When Golden Mask tells him the current alignment of the stars means he's weakened, the Fuhrer decides to go out and battle the Gorengers anyway to prove it wrong and show that he's above fate. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for him, [[YouCantFightFate things don't play out as expected.]]]] |
| 194 | * SorcerousOverlord: In addition to his knowledge in sciences, the Fuhrer has also dabbled in magic and mysticism, enough to perform a black magic ritual to revive Golden Mask. |
| 195 | * UnseenEvil: Just glimpsing the Fuhrer's true form for a brief moment in episode 37 is enough to temporarily blind the Gorengers. We don't get to see what he actually looks like until the finale, where it turns out [[spoiler:he's actually an extension of the Black Cross Castle.]] |
| 196 | * UnsettlingGenderReveal: In the Gorenger movie The Bomb Hurricane, [[spoiler:"Mysterious Beauty" was actually the Black Cross Führer in disguise to lure the Gorengers away to prevent them from stopping a plot to invade the Japanese island of Shikoku.]] |
| 197 | * VillainTeamUp: Brings back [[Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger Brajira of the Messiah]], [[Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger Crime Minister Yogoshimacritein]], and [[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger Hades God Dagon]] as his underlings in Hero 199 Great Battle. |
| 198 | * WeaksauceWeakness: [[spoiler:The Cassiopeia constellation. Even looking at it is enough to weaken him]]. |
| 199 | * YouHaveFailedMe: Mostly averted, he is actually surprisingly forgiving towards his underlings when their plans fail. At one point he actually intervenes to prevent the suicide of one general who felt he didn't deserve to live due to failing. When he gets tired of a general failing too many times, he instead summons a new general and lets the current one live, although if they mess up particularly badly, he will order them to kill the Gorangers or die trying. |
