13!The Gekirangers
14* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter:
15** Whereas the Boukengers are young adventurers hired to hunt for potentially dangerous relics and keep them from the wrong hands, the Gekirangers are martial arts students. The Boukengers used super technology and tart with five members, while the Gekirangers utilize their qi and were a three-man team.
16** To the Hurricangers in being a three-man team, through the genders of the blue and yellow rangers are swapped and they are feline-themed. Like the Hurricangers, they are eventually joined by two members from an opposing school that were their enemies.

19!'''Jan Kando/[=GekiRed=]''' | [-Actor: Hiroki Suzuki (live), Hirofumi Fukuzawa (suit) -]
20[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/9cb68f0157e882f90140788b0b73c9f2.jpg]]
21 [[caption-width-right:350: [[NighInvulnerability Unbreakable Body.]]]]
22----
23* TheBabyOfTheBunch: A variation. Jan isn't the youngest of the group physically-wise (in fact, his actor is the oldest of the trio), but mentally-wise, he's practically a child. His teammates Ran and Retsu have to teach him the basic things about the world from time to time.
24* BrokenFaceplate: Jan gets a hole punched in his visor during his final fight with Rio.
25* BunnyEarsLawyer: Initially. He is an IdiotHero, but he is still talented enough to keep up with his more experienced teammates.
26* CharacterDevelopment: As the series goes on, he acts less dumb.
27* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Even before his Juken training, Jan was capable of performing feats such as winning a fight against a Panda Bear, jumping great heights and quickly climbing mountains. Presumably from being raised by tigers.
28* ChasteHero: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]]. The series doesn't state it out loud but it's quite clear that Jan knows nothing about romantic love, having been raised by tigers for most of his life.
29* {{Crunchtastic}}: Makes up ''a lot'' of words, enough to make his own Jan-ish language. Examples of such words are "Ujauja", "Wakiwaki" or, most commonly "Zowazowa" (referring to monsters of the week). Justified that he's a jungle boy.
30* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Long decimated his village, turned his father Dan evil, and killed his mother. All because they were a PROBLEM in his plans.]]
31* DetectEvil: Even before joining the team, he is able to sense hostile ki.
32* DumbIsGood: Starts out as this, but eventually becomes much smarter.
33* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:Rin Juken.]]
34* {{Expy}}: A boy raised in a Jungle after a powerful BigBad kills his parents eventually becomes a RookieRedRanger of an animal themed team of Rangers that is led by the Yellow Ranger. This is strikingly similar to Cole Evans from Power Rangers Wild Force.
35* TheHero: He's not TheLeader like most reds, but he's still the main character.
36* HeroesPreferSwords: Picks up a pair as his personalized weapons from training with Sharkie Chan.
37* HiddenDepths: Has moments of great insight such as realizing that Mele is training herself or Gou being worried he'll disrupt the team dynamic.
38* IdiotHero: Early in the series. Gradually he grows out of it. For the most part at least.
39* ImageSong: Susume no Susume
40* InnocentFanserviceGuy: Well, he ''is'' a jungle boy after all, so he doesn't mind being half-naked in front of others, such as in episode 22 where he had no problem with undressing in front of Alice.
41* {{Keet}}: ''Very much so''. Especially in the earlier episodes of the series, although his CharacterDevelopment tones it down a bit, it's still there.
42* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Surprisingly downplayed; he doesn't have a lot of major power difference relative to the others. On the other hand, he's the one among the heroes with the biggest CharacterDevelopment.
43* LightningBruiser
44* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:"White Tiger" Dan turns out to be Jan's father.]]
45* ManChild: Very childish due to being raised by wild animals. This is reflected by how Ran at first referred to him as "kono hito" (this person), but then switches to "kono ko" (this child) after finding out how childish he is.
46%%* TheMcCoy
47* [[RaisedByWolves Raised By Tigers]]: Pandas too, but mostly tigers, as he claims to be a "tiger child".
48* RookieRedRanger: Ran and Retsu are already Gekirangers by the time he meets them, this is also {{deconstructed|Trope}} to an extent as he struggles to transform on his first fight and isn't named the leader of the team as most reds do.
49* ShirtlessScene: Often. See InnocentFanserviceGuy above.
50* SignatureMove: ''Ho Ho Dan''[[note]]Gun-Gun Bullet[[/note]]
51** Super Geki Red: ''Super Tiger Geki''
52* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler: Long all but outright calls him this as his surviving the attempt on his life as a kid was the only loose thread in his plans]]
53* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Romanised as "Jyan" in the credits to TheMovie.
54* SprintScrubbing: Done by him as a form of [[WaxOnWaxOff training]] using weighted cloths in an early episode.
55* SuperToughness: His body can withstand the most punishment.
56* TookALevelInBadass: Initially, he was an IdiotHero, but later on...
57* VitriolicBestBuds: He and Ken eventually become this.
58* WalkingTheEarth: At the end of the series.

61[[folder:Ran Uzaki]]
62!'''Ran Uzaki/[=GekiYellow=]''' | [-Actress: Mina Fukui (live), Sanae Hitomi (suit) -]
63[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a8108022325b7eb984e74a2f7ce90dae.jpg]]
64 [[caption-width-right:350:[[TheHeart Honest Heart.]]]]
65----
66* ActionGirl: Despite being the only female member of the team, she can fight much better than her male teammates.
67* TheCaptain: While it's not brought up much, she is the actual leader of the Gekirangers.
68* TheHeart: What she represents in the Heart, Technique, and Body triangle. She also serves as the mediator early on between [[RaisedByWolves Jan]] and [[CulturedBadAss Retsu]].
69* CuteLittleFangs: Fukui Mina, Ran's actress, has two slightly prominent upper canines you can spot {{when she smiles}}.
70* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:Rin Juken.]]
71* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Much more so in the second half of the season.
72* {{Housewife}}: Defied. Ran's wealthy mother would like her to and tries to arrange a marriage for her. To stop this happening, the male Gekirangers all pose as Ran's admirers (to her mother's horror.) Ran eventually makes it clear that she does not want to get married and her role as a Gekiranger is far more important to her.
73* ImageSong: Run
74* TeamMom: Whenever Jan and Retsu's personality clash, she's the one that defuses their argument.
75** This is especially notable in episode 15 where Jan and Retsu temporarily become babies again, Shafu even refers to her as "Ran mama".
76%%* TheKirk
77* TheLeader: Officially made one in Lesson 23, and the only yellow leader in Sentai history.
78%%* LightningBruiser
79* MamaBear: She's already the TeamMom but it's taken to new heights when Jan and Retsu are de-aged and she acts very protective of them.
80* MartialArtsStaff: [=GekiTonfa=] Long Baton.
81* MsFanservice: Her legs are always visible thanks to her MiniDressOfPower, and of course the occasional {{Furo Scene}}s.
82%%* PluckyGirl
83* PummelDuel: In Training 5, Ran and Kademu engage in this trope during their final battle.
84* RapidFireFisticuffs: Specializes in this. She even does a combo of [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken]] topped with [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Hokuto Zankai Ken]] in one episode.
85* SignatureMove: ''Shun Shun Dan''[[note]]Blink-Blink Bullet[[/note]]
86** Super Geki Yellow: ''Super Cheetah Geki''
87* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only female on the current team, but there's plenty of strong female roles in the show including Miki, Natsume, Mele and Michelle Peng.
88* TinkleInTheEye: Ran winds up babysitting both her teammates when they are de-aged to a kid and a baby — one of them pees into her face and gets teased about it well after he's back to normal.
89* {{Tsundere}}: Type B.

92[[folder:Retsu Fukami]]
93!'''Retsu Fukami/[=GekiBlue=]''' | [-Actor: Creator/ManpeiTakagi (live), Yasuhiro Takeuchi (suit)-]
94[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/af9da84b5813d1a469bb6375190dcf24.jpg]]
95 [[caption-width-right:350:[[WeakButSkilled Fantastic Technique.]]]]
96----
97* BashBrothers: Literally, with Gou
98* CatchPhrase: [[GratuitousEnglish I made it!]]
99* CulturedBadass: Retsu is a reputable painter and was known for his art related prowess prior to training in Geki Jyuken.
100* DrunkenBoxing: Fights like this in one episode, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb63nHJwI7E proves to be very effective at it]], even changing his roll call quote to a drunk version.
101* DualWielding: [=GekiTonfa=].
102* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:Rin Juken.]]
103* ImageSong: Just Make it Out
104* GlassCannon: He possesses Technique and is able to fight vertically, like in Episode 6, but needed to undergo training in order to toughen himself up.
105** JerkWithAHeartofGold: He can be distant with Jan and fight each other.
106** LightningBruiser: After training.
107* TheLancer: Clashes with Jan the most.
108* MakingUseOfTheTwin: The actor's real twin appeared in one episode as Retsu's evil {{Doppelganger}}
109* NotSoAboveItAll: As serious as Retsu is, even he has his silly moments such as when he got drunk in an episode, and he actually participates with Jan's crazy antics once in a while.
110* PunchCatch: How he demonstrates he's not the little kid Gou remembers.
111* {{Revenge}}: His motive for becoming a Gekiranger, as he believed that Rio had killed his brother.
112* TheRival: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. In the first couple episodes, he was built up as a complete opposite of Jan and an initial dislike for him just as how you expected a rival to be. However, it soon became clear that Rio is the true rival for Jan, and Retsu's attitude towards Jan becomes progressively warmer until he is basically a close friend of his.
113* SiblingYinYang: He and Gou are both socially awkward with a tendency to {{Jerkass}} behavior, but appear to consider themselves very different in personality and frequently bicker, despite Retsu's anguish for many years over thinking that Gou was dead. Their fighting styles are fairly different, Retsu favoring speed and technique compared to Gou's BareFistedMonk.
114* SignatureMove: ''Ten Ten Dan''[[note]]Spin-Spin Bullet[[/note]]
115** Super Geki Blue: ''Super Jaguar Geki''
116* [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Spell My Name WITHOUT An S]]: Romanised as "Retu" in the credits to TheMovie
117* TheSmartGuy: He is the most analytical and the strategist among his team, who thinks logically.
118* SpitTake: In episode 15 when he finds out Ran had to change his diaper while he had been turned into a baby temporarily.
119%%* TheSpock
120* {{Tsundere}}: Type A at first, mainly towards Jan. After they got along better, though, he gradually switches into a type B.
121[[/folder]]
122
123[[folder:Gou Fukami]]
124!'''Gou Fukami/[=GekiViolet=]''' | [-Actor: Riki Miura {live), Riichi Seike (suit)-]
125[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/919c565f84ad73f0229b2f06e23f1d56.jpg]]
126 [[caption-width-right:350:[[HeroicResolve Iron Will.]]]]
127----
128* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Rio was this to him when they trained together. By the series proper, no matter how much Gou trains, he can never beat Rio.
129* BareFistedMonk: He fights entirely with his fists, which he can charge up with energy.
130* BashBrothers: Literally, with Retsu
131* BigBrotherInstinct: He so overprotective of Retsu that he discourages him from being one of the Gekirangers.
132%%* TheBigGuy
133* CatchPhrase: "Man..." or "My God..." while tapping his brow with his fist.
134* DarkIsNotEvil: The violent ki he uses for his attacks is noted to be similar to Rin Ki.
135* DeusExitMachina: The initial arc of the show revolved around Jan being [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou the only one who could defeat Rio.]] The final arc revolved around the core three being [[spoiler:the only ones to defeat Long]], which left Gou (and Ken) pretty much nowhere...
136** They do appear, but they [[TheWorfEffect get beat up every appearance they make]].
137* ImageSong: Wandering Wolf
138* NobleWolf: He's heroic wolf ranger.
139* OlderThanTheyLook: It's sometimes implied that Gou is around the same age as Miki, but stopped aging physically after [[spoiler: becoming a werewolf]]. He also looks the same age in flashbacks to Retsu's childhood.
140* PurpleIsPowerful: The first Sentai hero to dress in a purple costume, and initially the strongest member of the team before TheWorfEffect kicks in.
141* TheRival: Was Rio's rival in their early days as students of Geki Juken. Ends up learning the hard way that that's no longer the case.
142* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Manly Man to Ken's Sensitive Guy.
143* SiblingYinYang: With Retsu.
144* TropeMakers: Gou is the first official purple sentai warrior.
145* WolfMan: He spend 15 years as a werewolf due to him using an imperfect form of the forbidden Geki Waza.
146* WouldHitAGirl: His debut fight was against Mele. It ended as well to her as you'd expect.

152 [[caption-width-right:350:[[CharlesAtlasSuperpower Amazing Ability.]]]]
153----
154* AlmightyJanitor: Doesn't have any special form of Ki, but fights just well as the Gekirangers when they use Kageki.
155* BigBrotherInstinct: The first scene where he uses his Geki was to save his sister from a billboard falling towards her. [[spoiler: This ends up being used against him in episode 30.]]
156%%* BoisterousBruiser
157%%* BrilliantButLazy
158* CatchPhrase: "Osu!" and "I'm great!"
159%%* CloudCuckoolander
160* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Just as much as a ManChild as Jan but still a skilled and strong combatant in battle as well as a valuable member to the team.
161* DeusExitMachina: Same reason as Gou above.
162* {{Expy}}: A cross between [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Marshall Law]] and [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Luigi]].
163* ImageSong: That's it for Me
164* {{Kiai}}: "CHESTO!!"
165%%* KidAppealCharacter
166%%* ManChild
167* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His name means Deadly Fist. He may have the most hardcore name in all of Super Sentai.
168* PunnyName: When read in its native order, his name sounds like ''Hissatsuken'' ("Deadly Fist", a Japanese term for special moves).
169* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Sensitive Guy to Gou's Manly Man.
170* SixthRanger: Not officially, but his late arrival to the show, his SwissArmyWeapon, and his own HumongousMecha give him all of the trappings.
171* SwissArmyWeapon: [=SaiBlade=], which also doubles as his TransformationTrinket.
172** MoreDakka: [=SaiBlade=] Finger
173** BladeBelowTheShoulder: [=SaiBlade=] Cutter

182!'''Miki Masaki''' | [-Actress: Kazue Itoh-]
183----
184* ActionMom: She may not be a ranger, but she is shown to be a competent fighter in her own right. She even fought ones to save her daughter.
185* AlliterativeName: '''M'''i'''ki''' '''M'''asa'''ki'''.
186* FormerTeenRebel: She was a ''sukeban'' in her youth, and her name still carries enough fear that an entire gang of thugs runs for it when they realize who she is. Thanks to learning Juken, she's actually tougher now than she was back then, she just doesn't show off.
187* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Does this to a brainwashed Ran and Natsume on separate occasions.
188* LetsGetDangerous: She shows off her Leopard-fist skills in the first episode, but then spends most of her time acting as backup. Thirty or so episodes later, Natsume is threatened and Miki displays enough power to impress Mele (who was using Genki at that point). Wow.
189* MamaBear: She doesn't use it much, but Miki ''is'' a student of [=GekiJyu=] Leopard-ken and she ''is'' more than ready to trot it out when bad guys mess with her kid.
190** Hell, she manages to control [=SaiDainOh=] during the episode.

207* MartialPacifist: Took a vow of non-violence after the war and will only fight defensively.
208* ObsoleteMentor: The Gekirangers [[SurpassedTheTeacher clearly surpassed them]] by the time Maku is defeated. Sha Fu does manage to still help in the emotional capacity.
209* OldMaster: Of the ReallySevenHundredYearsOld type.
210* ThemeNaming: Aside from Sha Fu, the Kensei are named after real-life celebrity martial artists.
211* WasOnceAMan: Gave up their humanity in order to defeat the Kenma during the first war.

236* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Much like Jan.
237* ShoutOut: Of Creator/JackieChan
238* SuperToughness: His specialty, at first the others Kensei sans Shafu dismiss it as being not as important as technique or heart but he and Jan prove it otherwise.

262[[folder:In General]]
263Geki Juken's [[TheRival rival school]], founded by the Kenma. Where as Geki draws power from positive emotions and a passion for justice, Rin draws strength from hatred and suffering.
264
265!!!Tropes that Apply to all
266* ThePowerOfHate: Their style is based upon drawing strength from hatred and the negative emotions of their victims.
267* ThugDojo: They preach a much more violent form of martial arts and our out to take down their rival dojo, Geki Juken.
268* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:They are later revealed to have been used by Long to fulfill his desire.]]

273
274[[quoteright:318:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rio_1.jpg]]
275
276Leader of the revived Akugata and a former pupil of Sha Fu who trained alongside Gou and Miki, but left the school due to his desire for power.
277----
278* AffablyEvil[=/=]FauxAffablyEvil: Zigzags between the two. Despite his arrogance he has shown he can respect the strength of others, including someone more powerful than himself. On the other hand, he is a SoreLoser most of the time he gets defeated.
279* ArrogantKungFuGuy: He is a legitimately talented martial artist and has many times managed to back it up more than once, but he is quick to let any power he gets go to his head.
280* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: He trained with Gou under Shafu, but Gekijyuken didn't satisfy his desire for power.
281* BadassCape: Wears a cape when he's not transformed.
282* BareFistedMonk: As one would expect from a martial artist he fights primarily with his hands or by using them to manipulate ki.
283* BerserkButton: Do not mock Juken. As the first Gekiranger movie shows, he will fight alongside his own enemies to teach any doubters a lesson.
284* BeyondTheImpossible: In a training match with Kata, Rio managed to get stronger by feeding on his own despair, something unheard of in Rin Juken's history.
285* BigBadWannabe: Set up as the BigBad early in the series, and the revival of the Kenma doesn't change that as they're willing to let him run things, until Maku pulls an EvilerThanThou on him and seems well to have supplanted him. At least until the Beast Power Blossom sees Rio make a comeback. [[spoiler:And then he ultimately turns out to be an UnwittingPawn for Long, which actually prompts a HeelFaceTurn.]]
286* BlessedWithSuck: [[spoiler: As Griffin King Rio. He's stronger, but it was just power handed to him with the intent of eventually driving him insane and turning into the Destruction God so he would ravage the planet.]]
287* BloodKnight: Part of why he often doesn't kill the Gekirangers when he has the chance, as he wants to able to push his limits and have a more satisfying victory.
288* TheChosenOne: Stated by Long to be one for Gen Juken. [[spoiler: Deconstructed, as Rio turns out to be nothing more than an UnwittingPawn for Long who had been manipulating him his entire life.]]
289* CurbStompBattle: Braco attempts to kill him by reviving Kademu and Moriya and attacking him when he's most vulnerable. Thanks to Mele interrupting the attack, Rio quickly turns the fight into this, killing Kademu with a single blow and driving Moriya to run away scared.
290** Easily defeats the Gekirangers in their first real fight, with even the [[{{BFG}} Geki Bazooka]] failing to scratch him. He is initially dealing this out in the rematch until they figure out how to use Kageki and turn the tables.
291** Later dishes out one on Gou. Gou learned the Heaven and Earth Disaster before the fight, but since Rio saw him use it he figured out how to counter it before easily beating Gou.
292** [[spoiler: When he the Destruction God and lost his mind, he dished out one to [=SaiDaiOh=], and was only stopped thanks to Mele snapping him back to normal.]]
293* DemotedToDragon: He was forced to serve under Maku after he revived him. Maku not only removed him from a position of authority, he kept him from any position of importance. But Rio eventually took back power.
294* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Upon learning his entire life's goal was something Long created to manipulate him, he feels that he had been wasting his life as an UnwittingPawn.]]
295* DiscOneFinalBoss: He's the driving threat for a good chunk of the series, [[spoiler:but gets supplanted by Long once his plans gradually become known.]]
296* EnemyMine: Occasionally joins forces with the Gekirangers, alongside Mele.
297* EleventhHourRanger: [[spoiler:After his HeelFaceTurn for the final battle, he's officially labeled as an Extra Hero. As such he's among the dead revived for the 199 Ranger battle in Gokaiger and his powers are sacrificed and sealed in a Ranger Key, despite not being a Ranger. When used the key announces them as Gekirangers, though that said, his and Mele's keys have the Rinjuken Akugata symbol on the key rather the claw mark used by the other Gekitanger keys.]]
298* FallenHero: Used to be a student of Geki Juken until his desire for power led to him switching over to Rin Juken.
299* FreudianExcuse: Something [[spoiler:AKA Long]] killed his family when he was a child; Shafu can tell that his obsession with strength mainly comes from how, deep down, [[NeverBeHurtAgain he's still terrified of it.]]
300* TheHeavy: He's the one who revived the Rin Juken Akugata in the present day and kickstarted the plot. [[spoiler:He's also the key player in the true BigBad's plan.]]
301* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After Long's manipulations of him are exposed and he's saved from being the Destroyer by Mele, he joins the Gekirangers in stopping him.]]
302* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He and Mele end up sacrificing themselves to save the Gekirangers from the Infinity Dragon's rampage.]]
303* ImageSong: Unwavering Desire.

305* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler:It's his love for Mele that ultimately snaps him out of his transformation after he becomes the Destruction God, and later leads to him teaming up with the Gekirangers to rescue her.]]
306* NeverBeHurtAgain: His entire motivation is rooted in the trauma of seeing his entire family killed by some immensely powerful monster. In his mind, Rio has to be the strongest or risk becoming the victim again.
307* OlderThanTheyLook: Going by flashbacks, he's the same age as Gou, but apparently hasn't aged since leaving Gekijyuken.
308* {{Pride}}: Whenever he gains power, he's quick to assume he's the strongest. Likewise he prefers to gain power through his own efforts rather be handed it; best shown when Maku refuses Mele's request to give Rio a portion of his Dorinki, Rio said he would have refused it even if Maku did offer it to him.
309* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:After turning good, he and Mele ultimately sacrifice themselves to help stop Long.]]
310* PunnyName: Rio is phonetic to "Leo". His AnimalMotif is a lion.
311* SenselessSacrifice: [[spoiler: Uses his ultimate attack in a suicide attack to kill Long. Long comes back from it and mocks Rio for throws his life away.]]
312* SmallNameBigEgo: He is legitimately talented but is very quick to overestimate he abilities.
313* SoreLoser: Rio throws a fit after his initial defeat from the Gekirangers.
314** Later, after his final match against Jan, [[spoiler:which he loses, Rio is so overcome with despair over how he's not the strongest that he goes briefly insane and turns into the Destruction God.]]
315* TheStoic: He's generally very composed, [[NotSoStoic unless he loses a fight]] or starts gaining power.

322* TheWorfEffect: Has this misfortune of being used to demonstrate how strong the Kenma are when each of them first appear.
323* WorthyOpponent: Starts seeing Jan as one. [[spoiler: Becomes fully convinced of it once he learns Jan is Dan's son.]]

328
329[[quoteright:273:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mele.jpg]]
330----
331* EleventhHourRanger: [[spoiler:After her HeelFaceTurn for the final battle, she's officially labeled as an Extra Hero. As such she's among the dead revived for the 199 Ranger battle in Gokaiger and her powers are sacrificed and sealed in a Ranger Key, despite not being a Ranger. When used the key announces them as Gekirangers, though that said, her and Rio's keys have the Rinjuken Akugata symbol on the key rather the claw mark used by the other gekiRanger keys.]]
332* AloofDarkHairedGirl: On a bad day, Mele's mean streak can be overwhelming.
333* AnimeChineseGirl: She certainly has elements of this motif in her design.
334* CoolBigSis: [[spoiler:When she's revived in ''[[Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger Kyuranger]] vs. Space Squad'', she has this dynamic with Hammie, another chameleon-themed warrior.]]
335* DarkActionGirl: A woman among the Rin Juken.
336* DeathIsCheap: [[spoiler:Mele has been revived four times; first during the series proper, second during the ''Go-Onger'' crossover, third during ''Gokaiger'', and finally during ''Kyuranger vs. Space Squad''.]]
337* TheDragon: She's Rio's right-hand woman and enforcer.
338* EnemyMine: She and Rio join forces with the Gekirangers on a handful of occasions.
339* TheFourGods: After gaining the Phoenix-Ken powers she represents Suzaku.
340* GenkiGirl: When gushing about Rio-sama. She's otherwise damn cold and bitchy.
341* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After Long's manipulations are exposed, she joins Rio in helping the Gekirangers to stop him.]]
342* IOweYouMyLife: Her UndyingLoyalty and devotion to Rio stems from him reviving her.
343* ImageSong: A Torn Feather
344* IgnoredEnamoredUnderling: For most of the series we get no signs Rio sees Mele as anything but a loyal subordinate.
345* LivingEmotionalCrutch: [[spoiler: After Jan defeats Rio in his Griffon King form, Rio nearly goes mad and becomes the "god of destruction" Long's so obsessed with. Mele holds him back, much to Long's frustration.]]
346* LoveMartyr: She's very devoted to Rio though he frequently treats her like shit.
347* MsFanservice: Her UsefulNotes/{{qipao}} is quite revealing (it's sleeveless, [[SexyBacklessOutfit backless]] and has leg-slits) and is played by a former gravure idol.
348%%* MultipurposeTonguee
349%%* PerkyFemaleMinion: And ''how'', too.
350* PlayingWithFire: Briefly when she uses the Gen-Ju Phoenix-Ken.
351%%* PluckyGirl

353* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:After turning hood, she and Rio sacrifice themselves to stop Long's rampage, and are reunited as spirits in the afterlife.]]
354%%* SaiGirl
355* SpikeShooter: One of her main forms of attack.
356* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:For the Gekirangers rather than Rio, oddly enough]]
357* {{Tsundere}}: Pretty much tsun-tsun to everyone else, and VERY dere-dere for Rio-sama.
358* UndyingLoyalty: To Rio due to him reviving her. It's so strong that [[spoiler: when she's revived as one of the four Sentai villains in ''Kyuranger vs. Space Squad'', she refuses to be a bad guy again out of loyalty to Rio, and, to a lesser extent, the Gekirangers. she has to be brainwashed to remove her memories of Rio and make her evil again. As soon as it's broken, she wastes no time helping the heroes]].
359* URExample: Mele is technically the first female green warrior in ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' history. Though she isn't officially recognized as such [[note]]She preceded both {{Trope Maker|s}} [[Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger Luna Kokonoe]] and TropeCodifier [[Series/UchuuSentaiKyuranger Hammie]] by a decade[[/note]], majority of fans still consider her to be and it even got an InUniverse nod when Jan addresses her as "[=GekiGreen=]".
360* VileVillainLaughableLackey: Rio is TheStoic and a brutal fighter. Mele is a PerkyFemaleMinion trying to earn his love.
361* VillainousValor: Hates using underhanded or dishonorable tactics to win. Her self-disgust when forced to do so by Long allows her to achieve Dorinki.
362[[/folder]]
363
364[[folder:The Kenma]]
365!'''The Kenma'''
366The founders of Rin Juken and former friends of the Kensei. They caused the School Rebellion when they killed Brusa Ee and tried to wipe out the rest of his students.
367
368* TheAce: All of them are considered to be the best fighters of Rin Jukun, but Maku stands above the other two. Sha Fu states he is the strongest user of Juken [[spoiler: and off screen, Maku defeated all seven Kensei single handedly.]]
369* AffablyEvil: Kata and Rageku. [[TrainingFromHell Their training is brutal]], but they are nonetheless willing to accept Rio as there student and the leader of Rin Juken, even though they could have easily overthrown him.
370* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: The three of them turned on Brusa Ee and murdered him.
371* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: They're by far the strongest members of the Rin Juken, and Maku leads because the other two are terrified of him.
372* ChekhovsGunman: They developed the Dōkokugan technique, teaching it to the Gekirangers for its intended purpose of sealing Long.
373* TheDreaded: All three of them. The Kensei really didn't want them back and sealed their souls in bracelets. For Maku, they went the extra mile and removed his heart, which Rio and Mele also had to put back to revive him. Even the other Kenma are terrified of him and actually warn Rio against reviving him.
374* EvilIsNotAToy: Surprisingly subverted with Kata and Rageku. Rio revives them with the intent of becoming their apprentice, and they do so without any tricks, baring the TrainingFromHell they put him through, which is what he wanted in the first place. Played straight with Maku, who Rio revives despite being warned that he'll overthrow him. Maku not only does that, but refuses to train Rio.
375* EvilMentor: Kata and Rageku are this to Rio.
376* KnightOfCerebus: Rio's initial plans weren't too threatening at first since they were mostly aimed at reviving the Kenma. Once they show up, the threat of the week starts involving the usual city wrecking ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' is known for.
377* TheSocialDarwinist: All three believe that their overwhelming power means they can do whatever they want, but Kata is slightly more eloquent about it. He rants that the weak should obey the strong and the "foolish" listen to the "wise" while fighting the team.
378* TheWorfEffect: All three of them are subject to this in different ways.
379** Kata, after only barely being defeated while human sized and then inflicting a CurbStompBattle on Gekitohja and Geki Fire, is subjected to a CurbStompBattle by [=SaiDaiOh=] to demonstrate its power.
380** Maku served to demonstrate the power the main cast had gained after the Beast Power Blossom [[spoiler: even though he fed on the power of the Kensei]]. Rio managed to match him blow for blow without using his fighting form. While he initially has the upper hand on the Gekirangers, when Jan shows up, the fight turns against him. As a giant, Maku manages to eventualy match [=SaiDaiOh=], just to die when it combines with Geki Fire.
381** Rageku [[spoiler: is killed by by a single blow from Long, [[OhCrap after the sight of his fighting form allows her to figure out his true idenity]].]]
382
383!'''Maku''' | [-Seiyu: Creator/HidekatsuShibata-]
384----
385* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Maku in particular - [[ThisCannotBe even when he's dying he refuses to admit he's lost]].
386* BadBoss: Maku, which is why even Kata and Rageku didn't want him back. The first thing he does after being revived is assault them both.
387* BattleAura: Maku invented Dorinki, and can blow the Super Gekirangers away with his sheer aura.
388* BearsAreBadNews: Maku is bear themed and easily the worst out of the three of them.
389* BerserkButton: Maku is naturally short tempered, but he gets really pissed off by anything he perceives as an insult to his power, which is pressed by anybody but the Kensei challenging him.
390* BigBadWannabe: Maku. He's one of the most feared beings alive for a very good reason, but the real BigBad is right under his nose, smirking at him. After the [=SaiDain=]'s Beast Power Blossom, Rio is clearly more powerful than him by Maku is too arrogant to admit, and Rio is content to allow the Gekirangers to destroy him. [[spoiler:And it's later revealed he was nothing more than another pawn of Long's.]]
391* BullyingADragon: [[spoiler: Retroactively it's revealed Maku attacking Long, while fully aware of his identity, was this. Maku was strong, but Long is an entirely different league, and could have killed him right then and there.]]
392* EvilerThanThou: Maku invokes this on Rio soon after he's revived, taking back control of Rin Juken Akugata from him.
393* EvilIsPetty: Maku. He takes nearly anything as an insult to pride, which can be something as simple as an opponent he considers unworthy picking a fight with him.
394** Maku's treatment of Rio. Taking back leadership of Rin Juken because Maku was stronger was in line with their beliefs, Rio even accepted it. But Maku saw him as worthless and continuously focused on trying to prove his superiority over Rio, not caring that Rio could be a valuable underling.
395* HairTriggerTemper: Maku. We didn't get another bad guy this hot-tempered until ''Shinkenger''.
396* JerkAss: Maku. He tempts Rio with the other of making him his student to get him to revive him, but after coming back, Maku assaults the other Kenma before beating Rio as well. Despite Rio being a surprisingly GracefulLoser and acknowledging as the stronger one, Maku refuses to take him as a student and instead does everything he can to prove he was superior to Rio.
397* MightyGlacier: Maku. He's doesn't bother with dodging attacks, he just responds to everything with brute force.
398* {{Pride}}: Maku (see ArrogantKungFuGuy). He was thrilled to be chosen as Brusa E's successor...until he learned that he asked Shafu first, and Shafu declined. Being the second choice ate away at Maku until he went mad.
399
400!'''Rageku''' | [-Seiyu: Creator/NaokoKouda-]
401----
402* DrivenByEnvy: Rageku's power is derived by pushing oneself through sheer jealousy.
403* StoneWall: Rageku's style revolves around making her opponent's attacks pass through. That said, it doesn't much to defeat her if an attack actuall connects.
404* TrainingFromHell: Rageku's initial training has her poisons Rio and then states she is taking Mele as a student while forcing her to fight Sha Fu. As it turns out, the entire plan was done to make Rio jealous of Mele coming close to killing Sha Fu, so the envy would cause him to push himself to attack Rageku in spite of the poison killing him.
405
406!'''Kata''' | [-Seiyu: Creator/RokurouNaya-]
407----
408* ThePowerOfHate: Kata's style derives power through hatred.
409* LightningBruiser: Kata, he's style is heavily involves attacks from the air, and he's durable enough to NoSell most attacks thrown at him.
410* MasterOfIllusion: Kata, and oddly, he gets hurt a lot more easily if somebody hits him during them (compare with one punch from Jan pissing him off, to when before the [[{{BFG}} Geki bazooka]] had no effect on him)
411* TrainingFromHell: Kata's motto about training is "There is training in a battle to death." He takes on Rio in match to death just to prove if he is worthy of being his student, and since his strength is derived from ThePowerOfHate, his training for Rio proves so brutal that Rio fears for his well being.
412[[/folder]]
413
414[[folder:Beast-Men]]
415The MonstersOfTheWeek, practioneers of the Rinjuken fighting style. There are two variants: The undead Rinrinshi that Rio ressurected and become Beastmen after asborbing enough despair to regain their full strength, and the living Beastmen that thrived to present day.

Braco himself dies against Mele without even getting the chance to face Rio.
461* DeathisCheap: His Madoku ability, a StoryBreakerPower that allows him to "poison" the dead back to life. But the ability can be used a limited number of times depending the number of fingers remaining: He used one on himself to full ressurect during his fight with Mele, two to bring back Kademu and Moriya to aid in his assassination attempt.

467* TheStarscream: Sought to takes over Rinju Hall in a cope.
468* WeCanRuleTogether: He offers this to Mele, appealing to her desire for recognition and appreciation. It seemed to work... but Mele remains loyal to Rio and kills him.
469

481* CripplingOverspecialization: While not a terrible fighter, Moriya prefers to leverage his ability to stick to walls and let his opponents come to him where he has a homefield advantage.

618* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler: The biggest one in the series, especially after his true colors are revealed.]]
619* TheLawOfDiminishingDefensiveEffort: [[spoiler: Played with. He does defend and avoid attacks, even though he never seems to react to pain, and by the finale, nothing seems to hurt him. He only seems to do it show his opponents how outclassed they are.]]
