[[caption-width-right:350:"We are the Victorious Imagination!"]]
----
* AmnesiacHero: Applies to all of them besides Akira. All they remembered were their first names and spending their childhood together. They never really questioned it until it was brought up.
** Happens again at the end of #11, save for Right.
* BigWhat: They do this quite a bit due to the Conductor and Ticket and whatever WhamLine they have in store for them.
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: [[spoiler:They were never adults to begin with -- they are but kids who grew up due to the Rainbow Line President's extremely powerful imagination.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Their team cannon (Rainbow Rush) allows them to defeat their enemies in their own, unique ways, usually invoking DeathByIrony in the process.
* DeadAllAlong: Zigzagged. Unlike other ''Super Sentai'' shows where a member of the team is killed off near or at the end, the core five are implied at the end of Episode 1 to have already died, but come next episode Hikari theorizes that their hometown was consumed by the Shadow Line, thus they have merely lost their identities, to which both the Conductor and Ticket temporarily concur for lack of solid evidence. [[spoiler:However, while Episode 24 reveals that their hometown ''was'' consumed, what they really are is [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve far more startling]].]]
* FreakyFridayFlip: #21 deals with a Shadow monster that can switch bodies. The switches made are…
** Right -> Tokatti
** Tokatti -> Hikari
** Hikari -> Right
** Mio <-> Gritta, in the middle of the latter's wedding.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: They remember their childhoods and their names, but nothing else.
** Episode 2 shows they don't remember everything. Not even remembering the name of their town.
** Episode 3 has Kagura saying that they don't even remember their surnames, or their parents.
* TheLeader: The thing is, the team has none. As discussed in #6, all members of the team bring something important to the table, and it is each of their individual qualities that make the team complete. By the end of the episode, Right and Tokatti label everyone as the leader of whatever their specialty was, but they were more or less joking about them.
** Right is the [[BigEater Lunch Leader]].
** Tokatti is the [[CombatAndSupport Supporting Leader]].
** Mio is the [[TeamMom Nagging Leader]], [[{{Tsundere}} much to her annoyance]].
** Hikari is the [[TheLancer Shadow Leader]].
** Kagura is the [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve Pretending Leader]].
* LetsGetDangerous: You know the beat down is starting when the team does Transfer Changes, allowing for creative uses of their powers.
* LightEmUp: As shown in the Spring Break Special, those lights on their helmets are fully functional.
* ManChild: [[spoiler:Literally, they are children in the bodies of teens/young adults. Which easily justifies why they act so youthful, energetic, immature and emotional]].
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Rainbow-themed, imagination powered trains.
* ObliviousToLove: The entire team is clueless about Tokatti's crush on Mio (with the possible exception of Hikari), even after he absolutely ''[[BerserkButton loses the plot]]'' in #34 when he feels threatened not just by a StalkerWithACrush, but Akira as well! [[spoiler:This makes sense for the rest of the core five given their [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve Magically Aged]] status, but you'd think ''Akira'' at least would pick up on it though it could be Hand Wave with him being a Shadow might mean that he doesn't totally have the full grasp of humanity yet...]]
* QuestForIdentity: Aside from fighting the Shadow Line, they wish to eventually find out their hometown, families and memories past childhood. They are starting to slowly remember their past through circumstantial events triggering a memory.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: It's a mix between the similar cases with the show's name and the original [[Franchise/KamenRider Kamen Riders]]. I.e. Tokkyu 1gou, [=ToQ=] #1, Tokkyu #1, or [=ToQ=] 1gou. This similarity was [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Mio in the Gaim crossover when she noticed Kamen Rider V3 is not #3/Sango.
* SuperMode: The Hyper Ressha. Any member can use it and it gives its user powers equal to Zett.
* TookALevelInBadass: As the series continues, the [=ToQgers=] are noticeably getting more skilled in fighting.
* TrueCompanions: If it wasn't apparent from the first Station, #12 exemplifies this point. The team works as a well-oiled machine, no matter the situation.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: ''The entire team'' [[TheComicallySerious (sans Akira)]] in #20.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:Technically the core five are children, but are given adult physiques in order to be able to fight off the Shadow Line.]]

!!'''Right Suzuki/[[red:[=ToQ=] 1gou (Red)]]/(Black)''' | [-Live actor: Jun Shison (adult), Homare Mabuchi (child)-]
[[quoteright:182:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tq1.jpg]]
[[quoteright:182:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toq_1red_3.png]]
----
* AffectionateNickname: Has one for the Diesel Ressha. Right calls him "Grandpa."
* {{Archenemy}}: As the series goes on it becomes clear that Zett is his and vice versa. [[spoiler:This started when their hometown was absorbed, Zett saw Right's light causing him to be interested with light ever since while Zett's darkness tainted Right.]]
* BerserkButton:
** Do not take food from other people or purposefully starve others. He will both belittle you in a petty way and also put you through a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown (as Bucket Shadow, a monster that starves people by stealing their food, can attest).
** Do not ever hurt any of his friends.
* BigEater: In episode 2, he orders 3 bentos. Mio and Tokatti state in school that he always got seconds and would leave class to eat more.
** In his free time during #4 he ate at least a dozen plates of meat at a barbecue.
** His very first appearance in #1 involves him trying (while half asleep) to eat the MonsterOfTheWeek.
** Even when visiting the Rainbow Terminal, his first question is where the food is.
* BrilliantButLazy: Was stated to be this by [[spoiler:his grandfather.]]
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: [[Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger Daigo Kiryu]] was also an IdiotHero, but was a HotBlooded one who [[TheAce had no flaws]] and was [[LargeHam a "screaming Red"]]. Right, on the other hand, is more akin to [[Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger Alata]], having flaws and being relatively calm in comparison to his predecessor.
* CoolSword: Rail Slasher, his default weapon. [[WhipSword It's also able to launch train tracks that can be used as cable, shackles or a shield.]]
* ComesGreatResponsibility: In #3, he admits that he wants to be a to a [=ToQger=], as otherwise the world will be in trouble.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: He stated in the Gaim crossover, he won't ever overlook people in trouble.
* {{Determinator}}: Even when fighting a monster that easily throws him around, he kept fighting until his true strength became apparent.
* TheDitz: Let's just say he's not the most attentive person around.
* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:Gets three; Light [=ToQ=] 1gou, [=ToQ=] 1gou Builder, and Rainbow [=ToQ=] 1gou.]]
* FiveTemperamentEnsemble: The Sanguine.
* HandGagging: To Tokatti, as a kid and as an adult.
* TheHeart: As the most optimistic person on the team and the one to try to cheer someone up.
* HeroicSacrifice: Nonlethal one in Station 45. [[spoiler:He takes Tokkati, Mio, Hikaru and Kagura's rainbow passes so they don't have to fight the Shadow Line anymore so they can turn back to children at the price of them forgetting about him.]]
* TheIdealist: In comparison to Hikari, he is positive. But he always makes the effort to make sure things go the way he wants to.
* IdiotHero: He calls himself one in the Gaim Crossover.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: At times, probably comes with being a ditz. Though you can count on his heart being in the right place.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Immediately goes off to fight alongside the team, even when he had no powers. It worked the second time around.
** After he found out that the team was his old friends. He was so excited that he went against the MOTW, without taking his TransformationTrinket.
* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Stated on the first character bios to have the biggest amount of imagination power and to be the strongest fighter because of that. [[DownplayedTrope While red is his default color, other rangers can swap colors with him.]]
* LightningBruiser: Like Hikari, he doesn't seem affected by the weight of the Tunnel Axe and can take more damage than Hikari as shown in #4.
* MadeOfIron: Station 4 demonstrates that he is able to withstand several of the MOTW's fireballs; a feat that Hikari, Kagura, and ''the monster itself'' couldn't attain.
* ManChild: Right is in many ways a child in a man's body. He can be innocently insensitive and just not see things from other's points of view. He can be selfish at times, but the times that he is selfish are over minor things like food and such. But he's also very kind and willing to do anything to protect others. [[spoiler:Its later revealed that his childishness is [[YoungerThanTheyLook more Justified than it initially seemed...]]]]
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The feminine boy to Mio's masculine girl.
* MegatonPunch: Delivers one to the first MonsterOfTheWeek.
* MrImagination: All the [=ToQgers=] have elements of this, given the nature of their powers, but imagining success is second nature to Right.
* NiceGuy: A staple of anything written by Kobayashi; Right is a very personable guy who goes to great lengths for others' sake. [[spoiler:He's even willing to go to extremes for his friends, stopping them from boarding the Rainbow Line so that they can get their old lives back. The others give him a brief WhatTheHellHero when they reunite, but his heart was in the right place]].
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Something must be up with him when he doesn't want to eat.
* OutsideRide: Battles from the top of his Ressha in #2.
* ThePollyanna: No matter how bad their situation is, he always visualizes a happy ending.
* RealMenWearPink: Is very often seen wearing the pink version of his [=ToQger=] suit, even when Kyoryu Red was PassingTheTorch to him at the end of the Kyoryuger finale.
** He also regularly wears a pink hoodie as part of his casual wear. It's safe to say that he definitely has some affinity towards the color pink.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Hikari's blue.
* RookieRedRanger: Is the last to get his powers, but subverted because the rest of the team received their powers mere minutes before him.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: One of two sensitive guys to Hikari and Akira's manly men (the other sensitive guy being Tokacchi).
* SitcomArchNemesis: Him and Ticket.
* SleepyHead: He is introduced while sleeping in a train. ''A Shadow Line train filled with crying children and a monster yelling at them.''
** Apparently [[http://www.heroshock.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/10308383_854834514545497_6704111469679997736_n.jpg he naps on Rainbow Line trains too.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Promotional materials and merchandise have used both "Right" and "Light" as the translation for ''Raito''.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:[=ToQ=] 1gou of Darkness. Played With in that while he ''is'' powerful enough to fight Zet Shin on even terms, tapping into the power source of the villains, and dangerous to the team, it doesn't seem to make him more evil.]]
* WhatTheHellHero: He ends up on the receiving end of one in the final episode, where the other [=ToQgers=] briefly chew him out for his rashness [[spoiler:by shutting them off from the Rainbow Line. They tell him that [[TrueCompanions nothing is worth losing their memories of their time together for]]. [[YouAreNotAlone And that includes him]]]].

!!'''Haru "Tokatti" Tokashiki/[[blue:[=ToQ=] 2gou (Blue)]]''' | [-Live actor: Jin Hiramaki (adult), Keishiro Nagase (child)-]

[[quoteright:182:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tq2.jpg]]
[[quoteright:182:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toq_2blue_9.png]]
* AccidentalKiss: Subverted. While cleaning, he fell off of the stepladder he was using and landed right on top of Mio, but never really kissed her. That was just a misconception by Wagon. Nonetheless, it earned him an…
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: The source of his inferiority complex. He views himself as lesser than his teammates because they excel in certain qualities that help them in battle while he is always behind. Right and Kagura have very strong imaginations, Mio and Hikari are physically strong and are adept fighters, and he doesn't even see himself as the smartest even with all of his studying. It takes saving Mio's life again for her to reassure him that he is very reliable and essential to the team.
* {{Bookworm}}: When the team had some free time to go shopping, he could be seen buying an entire stack of books.
** BadassBookworm: He is a decent fighter, but is the type to analyze enemies and quickly come up with a plan. Even in the end credits, he is seen analyzing and studying up on the trains that pass by.
*** Is demonstrated at its best during #10, when he plans out an entire routine to [[spoiler:undo his death by using the Shadow Kaijin's own abilities to his advantage.]]
* BerserkButton: Just ''try'' threatening his blossoming crush on Mio - or even ''accidentally creating'' a situation leading to same. It won't end pretty.
* BigBrotherWorship: Station 25 shows that Tokatti worships his older brother.
* BitingTheHandkerchief: What he ends up doing when Akira and Mio go on a date to throw off a rather dorky StalkerWithACrush, [[spoiler: because of his own crush on Mio.]]
* BlueMeansSmartOne: He's BookSmart and primarily fights as the Blue Ranger of his team.
* ButtMonkey: What he is as the guy who is constantly interrupted when speaking, usually left to pay the bill, usually involved in slapstick in the middle of a fight etc.
* CallingYourAttacks: Like his [[Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger predecessor]], he sometimes calls his attacks with his name preceding it.
* CharacterTic: Pushing up his glasses, even when wearing his helmet. In his ranger form, he pushes up his rails.
* CrazyJealousGuy: As his crush on Mio gets stronger, he gets jealous whenever she shows any amount of care towards any other boy.
* DisneyDeath: Undergoes one in #10.
* FingerTwitchingRevival: He does one in #10, to go with his DisneyDeath.
* FiveTemperamentEnsemble: The Melancholic.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Admits he thinks himself as the most useless member of the group.
* JapanesePoliteness / PolitenessJudo: His rollcall "pose" is to bow formally and greet the opposition, usually with either "hi" or some variant. From around #26 or so, this has changed to something relevant to the episode.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Station 19 more or less revealed he sees his friends as this in Station 19.
* TheKlutz: His first action was falling out of the train because he didn't notice the drop, it's safe to say he is this.
** It really got him in trouble in Station 4. First was when he lost his Pass because [[spoiler:he tripped after barging in the train with his grotesque amount of shopping bags]]. The second time was falling off of a ladder leading to a SuggestiveCollision with Mio.
** It also happens in combat. In #13, he managed to do an awesome acrobatic jump while shooting the mooks, just fo fall right on his back.
* MeaningfulName: Seems to be named after the ''Super Tokachi'', a limited express train.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Apparently because Right cannot pronounce Tokatti's real name.
* NervousWreck: Has shades of this when he's in trouble or discussing something he's not comfortable with. [[spoiler:Like whether they're dead or not. Or his secret crush on Mio.]]
* NonActionGuy: Downplayed. Indeed, he is part of the sentai, and he joins the fight together with the team, but he mostly uses guns to safely attack enemies from a distance.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: To Wagon regarding the AccidentalKiss mentioned above.
%%* NumberTwo
* RunningGag: Right covering up his mouth before he gets to speak. It works as [[IncrediblyLamePun a literal gag.]]
** [[spoiler: In the final episode, this got [[InvertedTrope inverted]] and became an ArmorPiercingResponse towards Right (although its physical component might be a slap).]]
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: One of two sensitive guys to Hikari and Akira's manly men.
* SharpDressedMan: Other things he can be seen shopping for are a ton of stylish clothes.
* ShipperOnDeck: For [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Kouta and Mai]].
* ShipTease: With Mio in #42.
* TheSmartGuy: Although he claims Hikari is smarter, he seems to have a big base of information. As he realized the Tank Ressha should have an extra power source, which was critical in their victory in #6.
%%* SmartPeopleWearGlasses
* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: Basically his entire fighting style.
%%* WaistcoatOfStyle

[[quoteright:182:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toq_3yellow_7.png]]
* ActionGirl: Is clearly one of the better fighters on the team.
* BerserkButton: Cowardly enemies apparently. Ask the two Combatant Kuros that tried to pull off a sneak attack, especially the one that tried pulling one on her while she was scolding another.
%%* BoyishShortHair
* TheBigGuy: One of the better fighters due to her fighting skill.
* ClassRepresentative: Claims to have been one during their childhood.
* CompanionCube: As a child, she had her little Maiki doll as a close companion to her. As an adult, it was formed into a representation of her suppressed imagination.
* CoolBigSis: Being a dependable woman who always comes to the aid of her friends. As Tokatti points out, this quality makes her a valuable member of the team, despite her own inferiority complex regarding her imagination level, as she sees herself with the least amount.
* DaddysGirl: Flashbacks reveal that she's very close to her father.
%%* FiveTemperamentEnsemble: The Choleric.
%%* GroundPound: When equipped with her hammer.
* TheHeart: As the one that thinks of her friends first and tries to get them to work together.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: She wonders why she is a [=ToQger=], as without Right to guide her, she admits she doesn't have a lot of imagination.
* HiddenDepths: It was thought that she had the least amount of imagination among the team, but it was then revealed in #14 that she had been suppressing it all along.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Remember when she gave Tokatti a slap over a misunderstanding? Well, in #21, she got a taste of her own medicine, possibly in compensation of the former's case of DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale at the end of #4. Being frustrated at Mio for keeping to herself and being difficult to receive help, the arguably girlier Kagura knocked her head. Granted, it's not a slap, you can hear the knocking effect from Kagura's fist to Mio's skull.
* LiteralCliffhanger: Tokatti saves her from falling over a ledge at least twice. The first time was as children, when she almost fell climbing the tree they used to play under. The other time was in present day while walking in the forest heading towards a fight.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The masculine girl to Right's feminine boy.
* NiceGirl: She always focuses on helping others and cares about protecting her friends.
* OneSteveLimit: Subverted. Not the first Mio in [[Series/HikariSentaiMaskman a Sentai]], but at least the other Mio was not a ranger.
* PassionateSportsGirl: Is said to be sports-minded. Shown in #4, when the team has off time, she went running.
* ScreamingWoman: She did ''not'' take it well when she thought Tokatti accidentally kissed her. As shown in #34, she does not take romance well, period.
* ShipTease: With Tokatti in #42.
* SignatureMove: Whenever fighting with her [=ToQ=]_Blaster in sword mode, she hits her enemies on the head a lot. [[spoiler:This foreshadows her Kendo training.]]
* StepfordSmiler: Something both Kagura and Tokatti have remarked on. She has a tendency of not telling her friends what's bothering her so they don't worry.
* SupremeChef: Kagura mentions that she looks for Mio's help when it comes to cooking.
* TeamMom: She can be seen as a voice of reason and is always looking out for the well-being of her teammates.
%%* ThisIsUnforgivable
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The sporty and active tomboy to Kagura's girly girl.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She may be a passionated sports girl, but she has no problem wearing long dresses, doing the household chores and acting as a older sister figure to her team.
* {{Tsundere}}: Confirmed to be type B at the end of #4.
** She shows the type A tsundere tendency of "being violently awkward during romantic-themed actions" during the events of #9. And brought to a head in #34.

----
* BerserkButton: Messing with his Kendama. Deconstructed in that he's aware that he shouldn't get so angry about it and is ashamed that he couldn't help himself.
** Although his realization in #36 that the Shadow Line makes people ''forget their dreams'' seriously pisses him off more fiercely and results in him delivering a Solo CurbStompBattle to the [=MotW=].
* TheBigGuy: He was stated to be equal to Right in fighting ability with skill alone.
* BloodKnight: A minor heroic example - but he clearly has fun while fighting with the Kuros. Check out the example for {{Troll}} if you don't believe us.
* BookWorm: A lot of time he's reading a book for his free time.
* BoringButPractical: How his Imagination and ideas usually manifest, as seen in #2.
* TheCynic: After hearing how he is [[spoiler:as good as dead]], he openly questions the point of being a [=ToQger=].
* DeadpanSnarker: He doesn't speak much, but he does have a good line here and there, like the time he was described as the team's anchor, which he says is a good thing because he's afraid of heights.
* FiveTemperamentEnsemble: The Phlegmatic.
* FriendlessBackground: He states that before he met the rest of the [=ToQ=]gers he didn't have too many friends.
* GeniusBruiser: He is both one of the team's top fighters and strategists.
* HiddenDepths: His reaction is delayed, but in #11 he jumps up with the others in excitement about being told the next stop is an amusement part.
* InformedAttribute: In #4, Tokatti commented that no matter how much he studied, Hikari would score better than him. Wagon also noted that he's popular with the ladies. Well… Mio and Kagura seem to like him just fine.
** Subverted in #6. His quick and practical thinking was crucial for their victory.
** Subverted again in #11. When he forgot being a [=ToQger=], he was working as a scientist.
* JuggleFu: Was juggling one of the Kuros with his axe in the middle of a fight.
** Also, when he's not fighting, he's most commonly seen playing with a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendama kendama]]. #7 showed the toy's importance to him, and he even manages to integrate his skill with it into his fighting (with Kagura's help).
* TheLancer: As stated by Mio, Right's positive attitude motivates the rest of the group, but Hikari's realism keeps them down to earth.
** He is also the lancer due to his great fighting prowess.
* LeeroyJenkins: In his first appearance in #1, he runs head first into the mooks, just as Tokatti was going to explain what to do.
* LightningBruiser: While it is regularly pointed out how heavy his Tunnel Axe is, he doesn't show any signs of struggle while wielding it.
* MementoMacGuffin: His kendama may serve as one. Until #7, he never realized that it was probably given to him by someone very close to him, thus providing another insight into their past.
* NotSoAboveItAll: While Hikari is generally the most mature of the group, he's shown he's not as grown up as he would like to be. Usually when he's dressing as a detective.
* ObliviousToLove: Averted, he's the only member that isn't.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When he sees the Conductor without Ticket on his hand, and then using Ticket to wipe sweat from his face, Hikari is clearly shocked. As he leaves to check on the others, he quietly says to himself "...Gonna pretend I didn't just see that."
* OnlySaneMan: He's the only one really focusing on the fact [[spoiler:they are as good as dead]]. And when Right was thrown in #1, he quickly went to check on him.
* ParentalAbandonment: He reveals that he was raised by a single mom and as a result she wasn't home a lot.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Or ShipTease, but he is very attentive to Kagura. As shown #1 he helped her get on the Shadow Line's train and was protective of her during the team fight.
* TheQuietOne: Is probably the one who speaks up the least, until the topic is something he is deeply concerned about, like [[spoiler:their mortality]] and Kagura's whereabouts when she was accidentally left behind.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Right's red.
* TheRival: Station 33 shows that he sees himself as Right's rival in Karate.
* SecretKeeper: [[LampshadeHanging He acknowledges this in #28]] after encountering them [[RuleOfThree three times.]]
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: One of two manly men to Right and Tokatti's sensitive guys.
* ThinkingTic: Playing with his kendama, as mentioned by Kagura in #7.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: When he realizes that because Shadow Line erased their hometown, it also regressed a temp teacher that he respected to someone that is just going through the motions. He refused to forgive them
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Sandwiches.
* {{Troll}}: To the Kuros. When fighting them, he seems to really enjoy messing with them, as shown when he juggled one of them during #1 and was playing on a swing before crushing a bunch of them in #3.
* WeakButSkilled: Has the lowest amount of imagination, but makes up for it with his fighting abilities alone.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Is afraid of heights, as mentioned in #2 and shown in #11.

----
* AsideGlance: Does this every so often, to [[BreakingTheFourthWall talk to the audience.]]
%%* BadassAdorable
* BigShutUp: She does this when the Hyper mode joins her and Mio together by mistake, causing the monster of the week to laugh at them. She explains it is a matter of their skills over their ability as they defeat the monster together.
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: Due to her low confidence, she relies on her imagination power the most to deal with a situation, using it to "play pretend" to be other things or characters.
* CowardlyLion: She is the one most openly scared of the enemies, but faces them all the same.
%%* TheCutie
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: According to Right, her "playing pretend" can go a bit too far and she can end up losing herself in the daydream, forgetting her own physical limits or even her own surroundings in the process. An example he gave was a childhood memory of a time when she pretended to be a mermaid and almost drowned herself along with Right. During a fight, she almost performed an attack that would've killed the monster, at the price of her own life.
* FiveTemperamentEnsemble: The Leukine.
* GenkiGirl: When not in a fight.
* GirlishPigtails: When she grows up, she stops wearing her hair like this.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: The girlier of the two on the team, but still a mostly competent fighter.
* TheGlomp: To Right in the first episode. Also does this to Akira on occasion.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Mio. Mostly because Mio is the CoolBigSis of the group and Kagura is the most immature.
* HiddenDepths: According to her bio, she could potentially have more imagination power then even Right. However she seems unable to focus enough to tap into it.
** #2 shows that there's clearly some focus involved - when armed with the Red sword, she imagines herself with Chinese swordfighting skill.
** #3 gives us our answer, it's not that Kagura needs to focus to use her [[CatchPhrase IMAGINATION]], it's that she needs to focus to ensure that she ''doesn't'' overdo it, as noted above under DangerousForbiddenTechnique. This is also a plot point in #7.
* ImagineSpot: Whenever she's in trouble and needs to gain a new power or ability, we usually get to see what it would look like in her mind.
* ItsAllMyFault: After breaking Hikari's kendama during one of her pretending sessions, she spends half of the episode sulking, believing that he wouldn't want to talk to her.
* LethalChef: Downplayed. Her first attempt at cooking a birthday cake for Mio is not very good since she was used to prentending as a cook. She gets better when she asks a patissier for help.
* [[MrImagination Ms. Imagination]]: Again, all the [=ToQgers=] use imagination, but Kagura has been known to get carried away with hers - Right relates a story where she convinced herself she was a mermaid and nearly caused both of them to drown.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Pink is her favorite color and she's the girly girl on the team.
* ShoulderTeammate: For whatever reason, she was riding on top of Hikari's shoulders in the middle of a fight in Station 4.
* SquishyWizard: Due to her reliance on imagination power more than anyone else.
* SuperStrength: Usually uses her imagination to give her strength to deal with enemies.
* SurvivalMantra: Kagura needs to psyche herself up in fights: "I'm strong, I'm strong, I'm strong - [[GratuitousEnglish [X] GIIIIRL!]]"

[[folder: Akira Nijino/Zaram/[=ToQ=] 6gou]]
!!'''Akira Nijino/Zaram/[[cinnamon:[=ToQ=] 6gou (Orange)]]''' | [-Live actor: Shin Nagahama-]
[[quoteright:182:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tq6.jpg]]
[[quoteright:182:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tqg_toq_6_3.png]]
Akira fulfills an important role in the Rainbow Line, being the one that maintains tracks used by the Line, to ensure that anyone that travels by the Line does so safely and happily.
----
* AmbiguouslyGay: He doesn't show any interest in Wagon or any of the female [=ToQgers=], and when he's told that he has to kiss Mio by an AbhorrentAdmirer of hers in order to prove that he's her boyfriend[[labelnote:context]]In said episode, the aforementioned admirer had been saved by Mio, and had developed feelings for her; Mio had told said admirer that Akira was her boyfriend, much to the dismay of [[CrazyJealousGuy Tokatti]][[/labelnote]], he misinterprets this as having to kiss the admirer, which he does so without any hesitation.
* AintTooProudToBeg: When Rainbow Line's base is taken over, he realizes they need the Drill Ressha that was stolen by Schwartz. He willingly begs for the Ressha back when he realizes he isn't going to make it in time to save the team.
%%* AscendedDemon
* TheAtoner: Big time, if he's actively looking to ''die'' for his "past" life as Zaram.
** This gets reinvoked in #41, when he's spent the last two episodes fighting against the Toqgers (for admittedly unselfish reasons), he decides to atone by diving in after the sinking castle. He's unsuccessful, but the team doesn't care.
* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' try to cheat innocent people out of what's rightly theirs - especially if it involves old cultural traditions and/or bathhouses. Unless you ''want'' a DeathGlare and your ass handed to you.
* CarryABigStick: Yudo (Guidance) Breaker.
* CatchPhrase: "So this is where I'll die..."
* TheComicallySerious: Acts like a lone-wolf cowboy type even though he really doesn't need to. Best exemplified in #20, where [[spoiler:making a dramatic entrance playing his theme on a recorder (since he'd lost his harmonica), with total sincerity, is what finally got Jack-in-the-Box Shadow to laugh when the rest of the team's efforts at comedy failed.]]
* CultureClash: Due to being a Shadow Kaijin, he doesn't really understand human concepts like friends or romance.
* DeathSeeker: A parody of the trope. He holds deep regrets over the terrible crimes he did as Zaram--making it rain. He constantly talks about dying, even though his teammates try to talk him out of it. Very much played for laughs.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Akira was once a Shadow Kaijin named Zaram with the power to create rain and used it to ruin sunny days to create Darkness, until a rainbow was formed one day when he did so, and he was moved by it's beauty. This formed a strong sense of justice in Zaram, and thus he took a human form when he renounced the shadows and his past life.
* EliteMook: Implied via FridgeLogic. He's at least strong enough to fight evenly against Schwartz, had his own personal Kurainer (now the Drill Ressha) and had a name based on another word for darkness similar to the higher members of the Shadow Line, rather than being called something like Rain Shadow.
* FailedAttemptAtDrama: It's a RunningGag for him to make dramatic statements that the others quickly undermine, like showing confusion at his DeathSeeker attitude. Another example is that he talks about how he'll fight unknown and unseen, only to have it pointed out that they ''already'' know about him.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: Right was surprised by what crime Akira revealed to commit because by the tone, he was expecting something that crosses the line. It's merely interrupting sunny days with rain, yet Zaram deeply regrets it. Played With, as while Right questions it, his actions likely ''did'' create darkness for the Shadow Line to use.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Doesn't seem to get the idea that his weapon is, in fact, ''a weapon'', seeing that he holds it the wrong way and throws it away during his first fights. Conductor and Ticket have to yell at him that he should keep it and actually use it.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: He loves animals. The first thing to make him smile in the entire series was a cat, and when he gets [[ItMakesSenseInContext a nest with a chick stuck on his head]], he takes very well to his new charge, and is even the first to name it!
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Prefers to fight bare-handed, and even has a tendency to [[WrestlerInAllOfUs wrestle his enemies]], despite the fact that he has a weapon. Which he keeps ''throwing away''.
* HandcarPursuit: Had a modern-styled handcar that pedals instead, helping him with his work on the Rainbow Line.
* HarmlessVillain: ''Was this.'' To repeat, his power is to make it rain and apparently nothing more. {{Lampshaded}} by Right. However, he doesn't see it that way, and believes his actions were unforgivable. Played With, as he actually ''does'' seem to be genuinely powerful and was strong enough to fend off Schwartz to protect Right.
* HeelFaceTurn: As per usual we get the tradition of an (formerly) evil SixthRanger, but it's taken literally in this case, as Akira was a Shadow Kaijin before becoming a [=ToQger=].
* HeroicSpirit: Upon seeing a rainbow for the first time, justice awoke in Akira's heart. From then on, he became a [=ToQger=].
* {{Hunk}}: Compared to the other Bishonen males of the cast (and most Sentai in general) Akira looks notably more mature that the other [=ToQger=] (much more given he's a Kaijin but even his human appearance is played by an actor who was not only older than most of the cast but looked a few years older than his actual age at the time as well) and more rugged in appearance with some impressive muscle shown off with his bare arms and more rough looking but quite handsome face. Which goes along with his manual laborer Rail Line worker character motif quite nicely.
* InelegantBlubbering: When he has to return the cat that he acquired in #20 (since the girl he took it from was allowed to keep it after all), he ends up reduced to this after the girl is out of sight.
* KindheartedCatLover: Cats bring out an incredibly sweet and gentle side of him.
* MeaningfulName: In keeping with the villains' theme, "Zaram" is the Arabic word for darkness. Then when Hikari gives him his human name, he chooses "Akira Nijino" ("Brightness of the Rainbow").
* MenacingStroll: Where the other [=ToQgers=] rush into battle immediately after transforming, Akira prefers to casually walk towards the enemy before engaging.
* NiceGuy: His secondary battle cry cements this. It can be read as "I'll protect everyone's Rainbow!"
** #20 gives some hints to his nice side, as he offers to take in a cat for a girl who couldn't have it.
** Fully cemented in Episode #26 as he does everything he can to save a bathhouse from going under, even though he'd only just met the owner.
** This even extends to when he's in his Shadow form, as he stops to play with a lost cat in #40.
* PowerGlows: The Yudo Breaker, being based on the light batons that rail workers use to guide trains. Appropriate as he IS the railworker for the Rainbow Line.
* PragmaticHero: While he doesn't like using his Shadow Kaijin powers, if he has to, he'll do it.
* PunchClockVillain: [[spoiler: Mainly due to his brief alliance with Schwartz when he makes a deal in exchange for Drill Ressha. He bares no ill will towards the [=ToQgers=] and does not go out of his way to fight them only engaging them when necessary.]]
* PunnyName: Intentional. Akira Nijino can be translated into "Brightness of the Rainbow".
* RulesLawyer: Invoked in #26, as he leads the entire crew through how to have a Japanese bath meticulously. This starts with him encouraging the others to drop their towels in the bath, right through to how coffee-flavoured milk should be drunk.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: One of two manly men to Right and Tokatti's sensitive guys.
* SeriousBusiness:
** His reaction to overhearing that a local bathhouse is about to be closed against its owner's wishes? Pull out the Appli Changer like he's about to ''go into battle''. Also, remember how he usually strolls into fights? When he finds out who's responsible for the bathhouse's woes, he ''sprints''.
** Naming the mech combinations.
* SixthRangerTraitor: Seemingly turned his back on the Rainbow Line in #39 after [[DealWithTheDevil regaining Drill Ressha from General Schwarz in exchange for fighting by his side.]] [[spoiler:This doesn't last long, however, as Akira soon rejoins the Rainbow Line following Schwarz's death at the hands of Emperor Zett.]]
* ShoePhone: The Appli Changer, which slides open to reveal the track for Akira to perform a [=ToQ=] Change. Also allows him to call for either the Build Ressha or Drill Ressha, or the other members of the team.
* SleevesAreForWimps: While it's tradition for all Rangers to dress more lightly in the summer arc, Akira joins in this period, and junks his jacket early on to reveal a sleeveless black top, which really doesn't happen often.
* TheStoic: He rivals Hikari when it comes to emoting the least. However, #20 proved that he is very much…
** NotSoStoic: The only thing that made him smile and laugh in all of #20 was an adorable little kitten, but when he had to return it, it was [[InelegantBlubbering not a pretty sight]].
** He has slowly started to drop the stoic act since around Episode #24 or so, although he's still fairly serious.
** It's eventually revealed that [[spoiler: he still didn't consider himself part of the team because he couldn't comprehend that they genuinely loved him and would miss him if he was gone. When they wholeheartedly accept him back, he feels true happiness for the first time.]]
* ThisIsADrill: The Drill Ressha, one of Akira's personal attack Resshas.
* TransformingMecha: Owns one. Build Ressha is comprised of two trains, one forming the upper half, and the other forming the legs of [=Build-Daioh=]. Interestingly, the transformation is oddly similar to that of the Shadow Line's Kurainers.
** Considering that Akira personally adjusted the Build Ressha to suit his preferences, it's no accident that it transforms in a manner similar to a Kurainer, as that's a design [[FridgeLogic he would have been familiar with]] and known how to control from his time in the Shadow Line.

* HandGagging: Has to do so to Ticket every now and then.
* HiddenDepths: He takes Ticket off in number #8 to try to stop the Main Line, and seemingly forgets that he has, using the puppet as a handkerchief. It's not until the crisis is over that when he tries to talk to Ticket he notices he's gone...and loses his mind, frantically looking for him for a couple of seconds.
* JumpScare: Gave the team a hell of a good one in #1 by popping behind Right when they weren't noticing, and in his LargeHam voice, "SHADOOOOOOOOW LINE!"

* BerserkButton: Calling the Fire Ressha, Extinguisher instead. Hilariously, even the Conductor does so.
* BigGood: He seems to be Conductor's boss, rather than vice-versa.
* BrutalHonesty: He really didn't mind telling the rangers that they were [[spoiler:all as good as dead]].

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He was worried about the team in #4 when watching them fight the MOTW.
* MeanBoss: Considering that he is the true boss on the train, and is very much a jackass to pretty much everyone he meets.
* OffscreenTeleportation: In Station 4, he was able to pop out of the Red Ressha's chimney inside the cockpit and disappear once he popped back in. Right was dumbfounded over how he was able to do that.
** Does it again in #6 to explain how Tank Ressha works, and once more in #32 for the Hyper Ressha.
* PerversePuppet: Subverted in that he's not murderous, just an asshole - and that the Conductor insists that he is not a mere puppet.
* SayingTooMuch: Has to be reminded by The Conductor to stop saying things that keep freaking out the team.
* SitcomArchnemesis: Has become this with Right. If he's not making a snarky comment to him, he's employing [[OffscreenTeleportation some method of teleporting]] that's leaving Right utterly confused.
* SixthRanger: Ticket was actually the first to become [=ToQ=] 6gou- though since only he transformed and not the Conductor, he would obviously be useless in battle. [[spoiler:He does it again in a DVD special, this time attached to Akira's hand, so they transform together.]]

[[folder:Rainbow Ressha & Ressha Giants]]
The individual Ressha of the Rainbow Line all have unique coloring and abilities. Each [=ToQger=] is partnered with one and can call on them or the myriad of "Support" Ressha in the line, though they can also "borrow" another's Ressha to assume their color and use their primary weapon. The Ressha are made of solidified Imagination Energy and can only be seen by those with a high imagination, which children naturally possess, with most adults being unable to perceive them. This also makes the Line vulnerable whenever it enters a Dark Station, as the lack of Imagination will eventually cause the Ressha to stop working, and the same holds true for all Support Ressha if separated from the Line for a long period of time. When Shadows grow giant, the Line can also combine in various ways to fight back.

!'''Core Ressha'''
These are the main Ressha engines seen in the series. They are the primary transport for the team, and serve as their vehicles when Shadow Kaijin grow giant.

* 001 Red Ressha: A red steam engine. The primary train of the line, it pulls 02-05 and combined with them is the [=ToQgers=] mobile base of operations. When combined into [=ToQ-Oh=] it folds in three places to form the chest and head.
* 002 Blue Ressha: A blue bullet train. The second train of the line, that forms the entire right side of [=ToQ-Oh=]’s body, from the shoulder down to the leg. When using the Den-O Ressha, the Ressha is switched from the knee down.
* 003 Yellow Ressha: A yellow commuter train. The third train of the line, that forms the right arm of [=ToQ-Oh=], and is the holder of the Fumikiken. When using an Express Armament the lower half of the Ressha is replaced by the Armament Ressha.
* 004 Green Ressha: A green bullet train. The fourth train of the line, that forms the entire left side of [=ToQ-Oh=]’s body, from shoulder down. When using the Den-O Ressha, the Ressha is switched from the knee down.
* 005 Pink Ressha: A pink commuter train. The fifth train of the line that forms the left arm of [=ToQ-Oh=]. When using an Express Armament the lower half of the Ressha is replaced by the Armament Ressha.
* 006 Car Carrier Ressha: A light orange car carrier train. It holds cars colored to match [=ToQ=] #1-#5 that are made from solid imagination energy. The cars can be launched to send the team into areas too dangerous for the Ressha to get to, or in case of the tracks being out. The Carrier can also be used as a bridge to connect broken track segments. When used by [=ToQ-Oh=] the entire length of the train attaches to the right arm, to be used as a club, and to launch the cars for the finisher. In Diesel-Oh it forms the right leg, and in Cho [=ToQ-Oh=] and Cho Cho [=ToQ-DaiOh=] it attaches to Blue Ressha and folds into a boot shape.
* 007 Tank Ressha: A cyan/powder blue fuel tanker train. It holds a special fuel that can be used to refuel a Ressha mid-fight to power it up greatly and holds the fuel for the entire Rainbow Line in general. When used by [=ToQ-Oh=], the train splits and attaches to both arms, to be used as boxing gloves. In Diesel-Oh it forms the left leg, and in Cho [=ToQ-Oh=] and Cho Cho [=ToQ-DaiOh=] it attaches to Green Ressha and folds into a boot shape.
* 008 Diesel Ressha: A rust (and a little light orange/cyan) diesel engine. The oldest train in the line, it has enough power to pull the Main Line entirely and is equipped with missiles to attack. It forms the entire upper body of Diesel Oh, with the entire engine splitting and then linking up side by side. In Cho [=ToQ-Oh=] and Cho Cho [=ToQ-DaiOh=], it attaches to Blue and Green Ressha in place of Pink and Yellow, which attach to it instead. It bolsters the body, and adds a laser cannon on each shoulder.
* 009 Fire Ressha: A red fire engine train hybrid. In its train form, it has a high-pressure water cannon ladder to put out flames. When combined into a Ressha Giant, the ladder shoots out searing flame instead, with the other half forming a fire extinguisher.
* 010 Police Ressha: A white police car train hybrid. The fastest Support train in the Line, the Police Ressha can fire out shots from the Police Gun in both its normal form and when combined to a Ressha Giant. It can also use the cuff to grab and restrain targets.
* 011 Build Ressha: A orange claw shovel train hybrid. The personal train for [=ToQ=] #6, it is comprised of two trains overall. The main unit of the Ressha typically rides on top of the secondary unit. The front of the Ressha can swing out as a shovel claw arm in both train and Ressha Giant form, and can use the hook on the helmet portion to raise and lower objects. Perfectly suited for construction purposes, which fits with #6's motif and Akira's role with the line.

Safari01 Lion Ressha: A white/blue/gold lion train. Replaces Red Ressha and gives lion claw weapons when used in a Transfer Change. The primary engine of the Galaxy Line.
Safari02 Eagle Ressha: A white/blue/red eagle train. Replaces Blue Ressha and gives eagle wings when used in a Transfer Change.
Safari03 Cat Ressha: A white/blue/pink cat train. Replaces Yellow Ressha and grants gloves with cat claws when used in a Transfer Change.
Safari04 Alligator Ressha: A white/blue/green alligator train. Replaces Green Ressha and grants alligator claw weapons when used in a Transfer Change.
Safari05 Panda Ressha: A white/blue/black panda train. Replaces Pink Ressha and grants a panda suit when used in a Transfer Change.

!'''Utility Ressha'''
These Ressha do not possess standard physical forms like the other Ressha in the Line, instead only existing in a smaller "Summon" form. As such, these are primarily used for the teams weapons or for a specific situation.

* Energy Ressha: A silver train. Used as the power source/bullet of the Renketsu (Coupling) Bazooka. It uses the Imagination Energy of the [=ToQgers=] to turn into whatever the one primarily firing the weapon imagines.
* Scope Ressha: A dark orange train. Used with the [=ToQ=] Blaster sidearm of the team. In either Blaster or Sword mode, slotting in the Scope Ressha makes the weapon release either an energy bullet or energy slash that will home in on the target, and follow them until they collide. It can also be used to target specific areas on the body, or to hit a mass of targets at once.
* Shield Ressha: A teal engine. It opens up at the front of the train to form a shield to allow [=ToQ-Oh=] to defend itself, and attack with the Shield Signal Beam. Unlike the other Ressha used in mecha combinations, this engine does not seem to exist in a larger form until it is specifically summoned.
* Drill Ressha: A navy blue drill train. Used primarily by Akira, it can be slotted into the Yudo Breaker to activate the finisher, which wraps the weapon in energy that spirals around it like a drill. It also can be attached to [=ToQ-Oh=] by swapping the Pink Ressha. It was originally part of the Shadow Line, until it was stolen by Akira; thus, it's also possible for enemy mecha to hijack it and use it as a weapon for themselves.

!'''Ressha Giants'''
!!'''[=ToQ-Oh=]'''
The base mecha of the series, formed by the Main Line of the overall Rainbow Line through Express Coupling (Ressha Gattai). From how it forms, its look invokes a rainbow in appearance. Red/Blue/Yellow/Green/Pink Ressha.
%%* CombiningMecha
* FinishingMove: Called "Final Stops" by the team.
** ''Express Slash'': The Fumikiken places a crossing gate in front of the [=MotW=] and the Ressha pass in front of it, then riding the rails, [=ToQ-Oh=] slashes it's target with a rainbow colored slash.
** ''Crossing [=ToQ-Oh=] Shot'': [=ToQ-Oh=] simply shoots the target multiple times with the Fumikiri until it is defeated.
** ''Car Carrier Dash'': The Car Carrier Ressha fires out all five cars, which attack and swarm the target, each blasting it with imagination energy.
** ''Tank Upper'': After a flurry of punches, [=ToQ-Oh=] finishes the combo with a powerful uppercut from the Tank Ressha, sending the foe flying before it explodes.
** ''Car Carrier Tank Shoot'': After being loaded into the Car Carrier Ressha, the Tank Ressha is then fired off, slamming into the enemy with tremendous force.
** ''Police Smash'': Launching the cuff arm to pin the foe, [=ToQ-Oh=] fires a volley of shots to finish it off.
* {{Handguns}}: The White Police Ressha. Also equips a set of handcuffs to restrain foes.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: The Light Orange Car Carrier Ressha. Fires the cars it holds as [[AttackDrone remote drones.]]
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The Teal Shield Ressha. The shield has five lights that can fire a energy beam each.
* MechaExpansionPack: [=ToQ-Oh=] can combine with a wide variety of Ressha to augment its abilities, through "Express Armament" (Ressha Busou), usually swapping one or both of its arms. The combination is called "[=ToQ-Oh=] X" or "XY" if using more than one Ressha.
* SwissArmyWeapon: The Fumikiken (Crossing Sword). It can be used as either a [[CoolSword sword]] or a gun.
%%* VerticalMechaFins

!!'''Diesel-Oh'''
The secondary mecha of the Line, formed with three of the Support Ressha through Express Coupling. It can be piloted by any [=ToQger=] with Right usually in Diesel's cockpit and Tokatti/Hikari and Mio/Kagura in Tank and Car Carrier respectively. With how it is formed, it can only swap its right arm when utilizing an Express Armament. Diesel/Tank/Car Carrier Ressha.
* BareFistedMonk: Unlike [=ToQ-Oh=], Diesel-Oh has no weapon of its own, instead attacking with its sheer power and with punches and kicks. It can also fire out [[WaveMotionGun beams of energy]] from the Diesel Ressha.
%%* CombiningMecha
* FinishingMove:
** ''Diesel-Oh Spinning Kick'': Leaping into the air, Diesel performs a spinning drill kick to drive through the target.
** ''Unnamed Energy Blast'': Using the energy gathered by the engine in its chest, Diesel Ressha gathers the power and fires it out in a large energy beam.
** ''Fire Splash'': The Fire Ressha shoots out a blast of searing flame to scorch the target.
* MechaExpansionPack: Like the other Ressha Giants, Diesel-Oh can call upon the Support Ressha, swapping the Diesel Ressha for the Ressha it is equipping.
** PlayingWithFire: The Red Fire Ressha. It is armed with both [[MakingASplash high pressure water cannons]], and a powerful flamethrower.

!!'''[=ToQ-Oh=] Den-O'''
The combination of the Main Line with [=DenLiner=] the time-travelling train of Series/KamenRiderDenO. Shows up in ''Film/HeiseiRiderVsShowaRiderKamenRiderWarsFeaturingSuperSentai

* ByThePowerOfGreyskull: Momotaros gives the transformation callsign as "Ore Gattai!" or "I have Combined!"
* JokeCharacter: Lasts all of five seconds before...

!!'''[=ToQ-Oh=] Kyoryuzin feat. [=DenLiner=]'''
The combination of the Main Line with [=DenLiner=] and the Kyoryuger Ressha, the transformed Zyudenryu Gabutyra of ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger'''s Kyoryu Red.
* StealthPun: Its finishing attack is the "[=ToQ=] Brave Sanjou Slash". Another way is to call it the "[=ToQ=] Brave Arrival Slash", fitting for a train mecha.

!!'''Cho [=ToQ-Oh=]'''
The combination of the Main Line and the first three Support Ressha, formed by Super Express Coupling (Cho Ressha Gattai). It adds Tank and Car Carrier to reinforce the legs, and Diesel to bolster the body and shoulders, also acting as shoulder mounted laser cannons.

* AlphaStrike: Its finisher is pretty much this.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: We learn from the Conductor and Ticket that Cho [=ToQ-Oh=] was never planned during the design of the Ressha, so it places undue strain on them if used often. As such, the team is asked to limit its summoning to only those fights that require it.
* FinishingMove:
** ''Cho [=ToQ-Oh=] Full Burst Finish'': Charging energy in all eight Ressha, Cho [=ToQ-Oh=] fires out imagination energy projections of Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Pink, Diesel, Tank, and Car Carrier Ressha to crash into the target.
* MechaExpansionPack: Can utilize any arm-based Support Ressha.
* ShoulderCannon: Has two ''very'' powerful ones.

!!'''[=BuildDaioh=]'''
The personal mecha of [=ToQ=] #6, formed from the orange Build Ressha. Typically, it only swaps out its left arm when using a Ressha Armament, but it can also use two Ressha armaments as well.

* FinishingMove
** ''Bucket Break'' using the Power Crane Slashing the enemy.
** ''[=BuildDai-Oh=] Shovel Drill Double Crash'' Identical to Bucket Break but added an attack using Drill arm piercing the enemy.
* GoodCounterpart: Can be considered one to the transformed Kurainers.

!Shadow Line
!!Primary Members

[[folder:General Tropes]]
* AfterlifeExpress: They have a fleet of Kurainer trains designed with this in mind.
* AristocratsAreEvil: They all seem to be based off of European aristocrats.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Don't be fooled by their elegant appearances, with the possible exception of Gritta they're all perfectly capable of delivering a beatdown on the [=ToQgers=].
* DarkIsEvil: What do you expect from a group called [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Shadow Line]]?
* EvilCounterpart: Their Kurainers to the Tokkyuger's Ressha.
* AHouseDivided: Each of the group's core members have different plots and argue constantly. Schwartz wants to conquer the Rainbow Line, Nero wants to revive their Emperor, Noir wants to groom her daughter into the perfect wife-to-be for their Emperor, and Gritta wants to help Schwartz.
** Even after halfway through the series, this is still the case more or less. Schwarz wants to overthrow the Emperor, Nero and Morc want to help the Emperor, Noir wants to free her daughter from Z while Gritta's motives are not entirely clear.
** Even TheEmperor has in own plan: learning more about light and watching his generals kill each other while they attempt to kill him (all while he manipulates them) ForTheEvulz.
* MultinationalTeam: Each of the leaders is themed after a different European country: Schwartz is Germany, Nero is Italy and Noir is France. Gritta is less obvious but going by her name her country of reference is probably supposed to be Spain. Morc's name is Swedish.
* NinjaPirateRobotZombie: [[DarkIsEvil Darkness-born]], [[PunkPunk technology]] [[SchizoTech using]] [[AristocratsAreEvil aristocrats]] [[TakeOverTheWorld who plan]] [[TheNightThatNeverEnds to blanket the Earth in darkness]] [[{{Magitek}} with a vast array of]] [[CoolTrain Kuliners]] [[AttackOfTheKillerWhatever and object-themed]] [[MonsterOfTheWeek soldiers at their disposal]].
* RailroadBaron: All of them by virtue of the fact that they're trying to take over the Rainbow Line, though Baron Nero fits the image best.
* SelfDisposingVillain: [[spoiler:Four of the organization's elite officers were either killed (Schwarz and Noir) or let themselves be devoured (Nero and Morc) by Emperor Z.]]
* SharpDressedMan: Compared to the last few sentai villains, these have ''style.'' Not surprising given the [[UsefulNotes/VictorianBritain Victorian]] and [[TheRoaringTwenties Prohibition era]] theme they have going.
* ThemeNaming: Each of them have a name referring to shadows or the color black in a foreign language: Schwartz is German, Nero is Italian, Noir is French, Gritta comes from the Spanish "negrita", and Kuro is Japanese. Zaram is also part of this theme, being the Arabic word. Morc continues this with her name being Swedish for dark, and Mavro's name is Greek for Black.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Baron Nero and Madame Noir do not regard the [=ToQgers=] as a threat, but a minor inconvenience at best. General Schwartz points out that they are making a mistake, and the Emperor seems to agree with him on that.
* VillainExitStageRight: Thanks to having their own express trains, this happens more often than not.

[[quoteright:182:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/z_kaijin_9.png]]
[[quoteright:182:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rst_z_shin_8.png]]
The "Emperor of Darkness" and master of the Shadow Line. Appearing totally human, he has a whimsical fascination with light despite his body being weak to it, and aspires towards a "new type of darkness" with the brilliant qualities of light.
----
* AffablyEvil: He is the leader of demonic creatures that want to conquer the world with darkness, but he does try to act friendly and affable toward Right and the others at times, even admiring them for their "shine".
* ArchEnemy: To Right. [[spoiler:His exposure to Right started his obsession with light.]]
* AntiVillain: Possibly. He seems to have no interest in covering the land in shadow and seems fascinated by the light and seeing how powerful it can be. This doesn't make him by any means heroic though. He covers one station in darkness to see how bright the [=ToQgers=] shine.
** #41 seems to confirm this more or less, as he's unhappy about his new form and how it lacks "Shine."
* BadBoss: He is implied to be one as Baron Nero claims that he will eliminate anyone he deems useless.
** We've already begun to see shades of it. As early as #11 where he forcibly exudes a dark aura to interrupt Madame Noir's attack, and again in #12 when he grows annoyed at Baron Nero. He also seems to be utterly bored by everyone sans Gritta and Schwartz.
* BigBad: Is the main villain, but couldn't enter our world without a special line being constructed from sadness, screams, tears, and lives.
* BishonenLine: The emperor of the Shadow Line looks completely human. This is never explained.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Obsessed with light and kinda goofy, it's pretty easy to forget that this guy is the leader of a race of shadow monsters. [[spoiler:Then when you watch him brutally and carelessly kill both Gritta and Schwartz you remember it all perfectly.]]
* CastingAShadow: Usually in the form of a powerful wave.
* CoolSword: He possesses one, though he only uses it [[spoiler:after bursting free from Gritta and finally adopting his Shadow Kaijin form.]]
* CurbStompBattle: Delivers one to [[spoiler:Schwartz after breaking free from within Gritta, easily beating him down with his sword and knocking him off of a cliff.]]
** Delivers another one to Noir and Schwarz.
* DevourTheDragon: [[spoiler:Consumes Morc and Nero in the finale after losing round one to the Tokkyugers. Unusually for the trope, it's their idea.]]
* EvilIsHammy: His first scene in Station 12 involves a disco ball, music, and posing.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: At the very least, he's much more tolerant towards [[ParentalSubstitute Marchioness Morc]] than he is towards the other Shadow Line generals.
* FedToTheBeast: A variation, as because of Noir's plotting he is [[spoiler:fed to Gritta so she can steal his power and title.]]
** [[spoiler: Which is ultimately inverted when he winds up consuming Gritta for her "shine" from the inside out.]]
* LightIsNotGood: Wears white in his outfit, but clearly isn't a good guy. There's also his obsession with 'shining', the light of peoples' imaginations. To further add to the trope his personal Kurainer is also white and his retainer? ''Lamp'' Shadow.
* ManChild: Spends the bulk of his introductory episode blowing off his minions and goofing around at an amusement park. He later outfits his throne room with a disco ball and flashing spotlights.
* ManipulativeBastard: While he is obsessed with light, his obsession doesn't blind him. He knows his behavior either upsets or confuses his minions, but doesn't care since he is more powerful than them and attacks them if they annoy him. The rest of the Shadow Line also think his obsession and indifference to their individual goals means they can make other plans behind his back without worry. They're wrong. Zet is one step ahead of them and he is either watching from the shadows or there to greet them after an achievement or a setback. Zet allows it to go on until it doesn't amuse him any more or if their goals can benefit him any way, even something like [[spoiler: making Gritta 'shine' more.]]
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: Spares Gritta prior to his final assault on Earth.]]
* PurpleIsPowerful: Wears a purple sash over his shoulders. [[spoiler: It gets even bigger after consuming Gritta.]]
* SmarterThanYouLook: Despite his bombastic personality he knows perfectly well what his minions are doing behind his back. He could play them all like fiddles if he actually cared. See ManipulativeBastard.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: To the point where it can't be narrowed down on ''this very page''. His name is "Zet" according to [[http://i.imgur.com/HqtRSMB.jpg his character poster]]; "Z" according to [[https://twitter.com/kengo1109/status/467571466712530944 his actor's Twitter account]], and a number of fans refer to him as "Zed."
* SurroundedByIdiots: ''Painfully'' aware of how much his subordinates' scheming and petty infighting lowers their competence.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: [[spoiler:After realizing that he cannot absorb light, he gives up and decides to accept his role as the Emperor of the Shadow Line.]]
* TragicDream: As the series goes one it becomes clear his [[spoiler:desire for light is this. Because of his nature he can't stand the light. To twist the knife even further other members of the Shadow Line are shown to have light of their own.]]
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He hasn't given anyone this treatment, but Baron Nero has outright said the Emperor will kill anyone that ceases to be useful.
** [[spoiler:At the end of #23, he bursts out of Gritta after being consumed the episode prior, apparently killing her. He then brutally attacks Schwartz and knocks him off of a cliff. He declares that he did so after "seeing their sparkle" and tells the [=ToQgers=] that they're next.]]

[[folder: General Schwarz]]
!!'''General Schwarz''' | [-Voice: Creator/HaruhikoJo-]
[[quoteright:182:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rst_general_schwarz.png]]
The Black Iron General of the Shadow Line and its primary military leader, a stoic and fearsome soldier with a fondness for trains. Despite his fearsome appearance, he is both affable and highly intelligent.
----
* AffablyEvil: He is a high-ranking military officer in the Shadow Line, but a total gentleman to Lady Gritta and doesn't respond to Nero's criticism.
* BaritoneOfStrength: Speaks in a deep but quiet tone, and is possibly the strongest soldier on the Shadow Line's side.
* BloodKnight: He reveals that he wishes to use military might to take over the earth instead of shadows.
* CoolSword: His main weapon, a black longsword.
* CurbStompBattle: Delivers one to the entire team in #6.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: He wants to claim the Rainbow Line for himself, though how he spoke in #10 implies it isn't to benefit the Emperor in any way.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Downplayed. When he refuses Gritta's support after his defeat by the [=ToQgers=], he has never actually lashed out at her. He simply walks away, as if he feels like he deserved the injuries he sustained.
** Says the trope almost word-for-word in #7, but he still doesn't lash out. He thanks her for the sentiment of her actions, but refuses any help from her and leaves again.
* EnigmaticMinion: No one really knows what he's planning, but it's obvious that he wants to take the Rainbow Line. Nero lampshades this in #5, furiously saying "And I still don't know what he's planning!"
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:While he admits that he was using Gritta for his own ends, he seems to feel genuinely bad about it and doesn't really bear her any ill will. As she lays injured after [[TakingTheBullet shielding him from Cho Cho [=ToQ=] Dai-Oh's attack]], he appears genuinely moved by her sacrifice.]]
* EvilGenius: Is much more focused on gathering intelligence than the others and claims to be planning something big.
* FlashStep: Shows an ability quite similar to a Flash Step during his fight with the [=ToQgers=].
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He saves Gritta knowing full well he would die after it, meaning he chooses to sacrifice his life for her. The [=ToQgers=] even acknowledge his sacrifice giving Akira a candle for Schwarz at the end of episode #41.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:While very late he ends up turning against the Shadow Line to save Gritta. After his death not even the [=ToQgers=] or Akira consider him a bad guy anymore.]]
* IaijutsuPractitioner: While he doesn't always fight like this, he showed some skill with it (He can move so fast, you can't even see his movements, much like [[Characters/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger a certain samurai]]), using it to defeat the [=ToQgers=] all at once in his first fight.
* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler:Well platonic love. But his care about Gritta has made him into far less brutal than before.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:He is killed by Z after he releases Gritta from his grasp.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: His fight with the team is treated much more seriously than the others thus far, as he effortlessly walked through each of their attacks and showed no mercy to any of them.
* MasterSwordsman: Obviously one, given the ease with which he beat the Tokkyugers in their first fight.
* NeatFreak: Implied in the third episode, where he says he doesn't pick up things if he happens to drop them on the floor.
** CompressedVice: Yet he does just that in #12.
* NobleDemon: Usually. [[spoiler: Even in #29, where he lies to the team in order to steal the Drill Ressha, it's for ultimately admirable motives.]]
* ObliviousToLove: He appears to be unaware of Gritta's crush on him.
* OnlySaneMan: He is initially the only general who takes the [[=ToQgers=] seriously, being the one who actively studies and engages in them.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Despite being one of the Shadow Line's strongest soldiers, if not the strongest, he simply stays in their base and leaves the coordination of monster attacks to Nero and Noir. This is even Lampshaded by Nero and Noir in the third episode, though he defends that he's gathering intelligence and preparing his own plans.
** He finally confronts the team in #4. He doesn't fight them, he just taunts them and rides off in his train.
** Subverted as early as #6, where he directly confronts the team.
* PuttingOnTheReich: He's German-themed and is a military officer, do the math.
* RailEnthusiast: In #4, he likes trains and later decides to take the Rainbow Line for this purpose.
* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler: Wants to make Zed pay for Gritta's death, and states he'll gladly throw away his pride to make that happen.]]
* SomethingAboutARose: He can be seen wielding a rose or have a symbol on a personal item of his, like his handkerchief or the two rose symbols on his chest.
* TheStoic: You could replace him with a cardboard cutout in some of the Castle Terminal scenes and nothing about them would change.
* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:Since Gritta saved his life, he has grown to care about her and wishes to first avenge her and when he realizes that she's still alive, to revive her.]]
* VillainousFriendship: Used to have one with Akira/Zaram until the latters HeelFaceTurn, something Schwarz seems genuinely upset about and wants to have again.
* WakeUpCallBoss: The premise of #6.
* WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler:He starts seeing the [=ToQgers=] after his defeat.]]

[[folder: Baron Nero]]
!!'''Baron Nero''' | [-Voice: Creator/JunFukuyama-]
[[quoteright:182:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rst_baron_nero.png]]
Of all the Shadow Line's generals, Baron Nero is the most loyal. He believes in grace and style above sheer military power, which puts him at odds with General Schwarz.
----
* AllAccordingToPlan: Justifies his case of OOCIsSeriousBusiness by revealing that [[spoiler:despite the Tokkyugers stopping Marionette Shadow, he still gathered enough darkness to bring out the Emperor.]]
* BaldOfEvil: Has no hair under his hat.
* BeleagueredAssistant: Has shades of this. While firmly loyal to the Emperor of Darkness, Nero is constantly flustered by his behavior and encourages him to get on with plunging the world into darkness.
* ButtMonkey: Note how many times he has been blasted by Z's shadow wave.
* CaneFu: Fights with his walking stick. He's surprisingly good with it too, able to beat Tokatti and Mio without being hit once.
* ControlFreak: Isn't a fan of anything that comes as a surprise (like the Emperor's true nature), and is paranoid of anything that might interfere with his position.
* TheDragon: Is the most loyal to the Emperor and TheHeavy in charge of sending out most of the Shadow Kaijin.
* TheHeavy: Does most of the work in sending out monsters, since Schwartz and Noir are otherwise occupied (though Noir argues that while she sends out fewer monsters, hers are higher quality than Nero's are).
* ImprobableWeaponUser: The cane is one thing, but he also fights by throwing his hat like a boomerang, Oddjob-style. As noted above, it also fires a WaveMotionGun.
* {{Irony}}: He is the most loyal member of the group and all his goals at the beginning of the series are to benefit the Emperor any way possible. When the Emperor finally arrives, Nero is surprised and bewildered by the Emperor's fascination with light and seems to have no clue what to do and is alarmed by the Emperor's ongoing behavior.
* ItsPersonal: Seems to take Akira/ Zaram's defection very strongly.
* LargeHam: Speaks in a very dramatic manner.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In #9 after losing his new station to the [=ToQgers=], Madame Noir cheerfully chastises him saying that if the group continues to lose stations, the Darkness Emperor may never appear. She is quite surprised when he agrees with her, in a normal, neutral tone of voice.
* PlagueDoctor: Closely resembles one, especially in the face.
* ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler:He suspects that Madame Noir is up to something. He's right when its revealed that the Gritta will devour the emperor herself to become the head of the Shadow Line.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: He makes it known, he does not like everyone else and is just loyal to the Darkness Emperor.
* UndyingLoyalty: To the Darkness Emperor. He is single-mindedly devoted to the plan of his revival and couldn't care less about Noir's attempts to groom Gritta. And after the Emperor's arrival, he and Morc are the only ones to remain totally loyal to him throughout the series.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Attempted to assassinate Gritta ([[FreakyFridayFlip actually Mio inside her body and vice versa]]) knowing she is threat to the Emperor.]]

Mother of Gritta and devoted to grooming her for her marriage to the Emperor. Still every bit as dangerous as Schwarz or Nero. Some might see her obsession with the upcoming marriage as suspicious.
----
* AintTooProudToBeg: In Station 40, she begs Schwarz for help in getting Gritta back.
* BlackWidow: Implied. [[spoiler:She did say Gritta inherited '''her''' power to consume her husband.]]
* TheChessmaster: A consummate schemer who prefers to play the long game, most notably in [[spoiler:her plan to rescue Gritta. Knowing that Z will be weakened while hopes are high during the holidays, she makes deliberately poor attempts to gather darkness and then releases [[CoolButInefficient Tombstone Shadow]] to waste their reserves. This weakens Z to the point where Gritta can take control, and Noir can use her ghost-catching cloth to separate them.]]
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Seemingly crosses this when she thought her daughter was gone for good. Until she sees Gritta in Z's mirror reflection...]]
* EnemyMine: Allowed the Toqgers to buy some time so that [[spoiler:her daughter can escape from Baron Nero.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Is fairly affectionate towards her daughter Gritta at the very least.
** [[spoiler: While she manipulates Gritta into consuming Zed and taking the throne, her realization that Gritta still exists inside Zed after he seems to kill her has given her a distinct rebellious streak, and now she seems to be biding her time until she gets the opportunity to free her daughter. Of course, she still wants to have Gritta rule the Shadow Line...]]
* FeatherFlechettes: Not only can she throw her hat's feathers as weapons, they can brainwash people too.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: By Z in episode 41]].
* ManipulativeBitch: [[spoiler:Intended to have Gritta devour Z so that she can succeed to the throne]].
* MindManipulation: [[spoiler: In Station 28, it's revealed she can create feathers that hypnotize the people they touch.]]
* MyBelovedSmother: While she does love her daughter very much, she does seem to go overboard when preparing Gritta for the Darkness Emperor.
** Case in point, in the second episode she thinks Gritta lost weight and is freaking out. Gritta is round as a BALL.
** This is finally subverted in #41 when she "releases" Gritta.
%%* NoblewomansLaugh
* ParasolOfPain: Her weapon, which can fire a shower of energy shots, a powerful beam or function as a gun, and she also uses it as a melee weapon as well as a shield.
* QualityOverQuantity: Her philosophy in creating Shadows compared to Baron Nero.
* TextileWorkIsFeminine: From making Gritta's wedding dress [[spoiler: to making a ghost-catching cloth to liberate Gritta from Zed]].
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:She reveals this was the true reason behind having Gritta marry Z. Subverted since she wants her daughter to rule the Shadow Line rather than herself.]]

The young daughter of Madame Noir, Gritta is fated to marry the Emperor of Darkness. This is complicated by the fact that her heart lies with someone else: General Schwarz.
* AffablyEvil: Though by the end of the series, [[spoiler:she grows out of this not really being evil at all.]]
* AntiVillain: By the end of the series, she's not evil at all.
* ArrangedMarriage: She is being raised to be the bride of the emperor. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for Noir, in #7, Gritta quietly admitted that she doesn't want to be married to him]].
* TheBusCameBack: Successfully resurrected by Madam Noir in #41.
* CannibalismSuperpower: Gritta's power, according to Noir is to eat her husband and gain his power. She does exactly this to Emperor Zed.
* DespairEventHorizon: When the normally sweet and reserved Gritta [[spoiler:takes a knife and tries to kill Zet just to get out of the ArrangedMarriage,]] you know a line has been crossed.
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: In spite of everything Z has done, including killing both her mother and her true love, she still saves Z at the very end, so she can tell Z that darkness and light must co-exist.]]
* {{Fangirl}}: To Schwartz, if the dreamy "Schwartz-sama~..." is any clue.
* {{Gonk}}: To bring the hammer on the head, she came from Noir's loins.
** She seems to be being groomed specifically this way for the Darkness Emperor. He must have very, uh, different beauty standards, at least. [[spoiler: Though considering he true purpose of absorbing Z and gaining his power it seems more like she was groomed as a ''container'' rather than to his tastes.]]
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Or in her case, [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation are purple]].
* HiddenDepths: According to Zett, her eyes have the same "shine" to them as a person from the normal realm.
* IJustWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She is the youngest, is constantly pampered and spoiled by her mother, and is arranged to be married to the Darkness Emperor, which means that she really doesn't have to do shit. However, she is now secretly helping General Schwarz gather data on the team just so she can see him achieve his goal of defeating them.
** [[spoiler:In #23, Gritta is injured TakingTheBullet for Schwartz. When he asks why she had done so after he had used her, she admits that she was just happy to have been able to help him.]]
* MoralityPet: To both her mother, [[spoiler:Schwartz and Zett.]]
* NotQuiteDead: She appears to still exist within Zed in some form.
* PrecociousCrush: On Schwartz. A bit of an odd example, considering that she's easily larger than him.
** And that she is, you know, arranged to be married to the emperor.
* PunchClockVillain: While she does send Shadow Monsters to Earth (who are nowhere near as affable as she is), it's not out of any malice or hatred of the [=ToQgers=], but to help General Schwartz in any way she can.
* [[spoiler:RedEyesTakeWarning: Gets them after eating Z and becoming the Empress of Darkness]].
* ReturningTheHandkerchief: She picks up one of Schwartz's handkerchiefs early on, and it's regularly used as a sign of her massive crush on him. (She did try to return it, but he didn't want it back.)
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:At the end of #11, when the Darkness Emperor finally shows up, Gritta decides she doesn't want to marry him and chooses to leave her mother and run away.]]
* SealedGoodInACan: She's actually stuck inside Emperor Z.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The TV-Nihon fansub began romanizing her name as [[PunnyName "Glitter"]] once Zet was introduced. Over-Time calls her Grita.
* StalkerWithACrush: She tends to give off this vibe every time she watches Schwarz from the background or when she cherishes a handkerchief he dropped to the ground.
* TakingTheBullet: She ends up throwing herself in front of Cho Cho [=ToQ=] Dai-Oh's finisher attack.
* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler: Comes back in the finale after apparently being murdered by Zed a few episodes previously. It isn't revealed if she survived the attempt or if he just faked killing her for some reason.]]
* VocalDissonance: And yet she sounds comparable to ''Wagon''. [[spoiler:Until she becomes the Empress, at which point she switches to a more menacing contralto.]]
* WingsDoNothing: Has a pair of angel wings on her back. They only seem to exist as a sign that she is the [[TokenGoodTeammate least antagonistic of the Shadow Line's members]]. [[spoiler: Also seems to contrast Z's devilish monster form.]]

* InvasionOfTheBabySnatchers: Kidnapped a good amount of kids for their despair. With the last one taken on-screen being snatched right when the mother looked away, leaving nothing but the panda bear plushie she was holding onto.
* {{Jerkass}}: Goes with the package of being a servant of the Shadow Line.
* KarmicButtMonkey: Bitten by a still-asleep Right, got pushed down when looking at a window by Right to look at the Tokkyuger Ressha traveling hot on their tails, gets pushed off a platform by Right and said pusher lands right on him, and gets a Mook smacked his way when he was distracted... this guy could not get a break this episode, but being a child kidnapper who wanted to absorb their sorrow doesn't get you much sympathy points for it.

* GratuitousEnglish: "''Ladies and gentlemen!''"
* {{Jerkass}}: His darkness collection method is by absorbing the regret of people forced to harm one another to avoid getting hurt by the Kuros.

[[folder: Stove Shadow]]
!!'''Stove Shadow''' | [-Voice: Koichi Sakaguchi-]

* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Justified in this case. He's a bomb.

* IKnowYourTrueName: He can attach a ring to a person's head that causes that person to have intense headaches when they hear their own name being spoken aloud.

!!'''Dining Set Brothers''' | [-Voices: Creator/UnshoIshizuka (Table Shadow), Taiki Matsuno (Chair Shadows) -]

* PsychopathicManchild: Arranges a game where he injects and entire town's population and the [=ToQgers=] with poison via special bracelets and he can only be defeated by fighting through a tower full of Mooks and break his arm before sunset, or all the poison kills them.
