* EnemyCivilWar: [[spoiler:Things hit the fan once Queen Hedrian manipulates Inazuma Ginga into killing off Hell Saturn, leading to a power struggle that ends when the [[TheManBehindTheMan Omnipotent God]] steps in and shuts it down.]]
* EvilWillFail: [[spoiler:In the end, Queen Hedrian, Hell Saturn and Inazuma Ginga all end up offing each other and Amazon Killer reveals the Omnipotent God's location to Sun Vulcan as a final way of spiting it.

* BigBad: He's the one who leads and directs Black Magma. [[spoiler:He gets DemotedToDragon towards the end, though]].
* DarkIsEvil: His color scheme is primarily black and yes, he is the BigBad.
* DemotedToDragon: [[spoiler:In the last few episodes, where he's revealed to be TheDragon to the Omnipotent God.]]
* EvilOverlord: The ruler of an evil cult who commands a variety of technological and magical powers, and has his sights set on conquering the world.
* GratuitousNazis: His leadership title is "Führer" despite him not having any apparent connection to ThoseWackyNazis,
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: FUHRER HELL SATURN. Sounds inviting, doesn't it?
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Never actually does any physical work himself and leaves most of that to his minions. The one time he gets up to fight somebody is [[spoiler:when Inazuma Ginga challenges him to a duel.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has two bright red eyes and is a very sinister villain.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: [[spoiler:"Human" might not be the best word for it, but he somehow manages to come back as a ghost even though he's a robot.]]

The [[Series/DenshiSentaiDenziman Queen of the Vader Clan]] who went into hiding following her clan's defeat. She's later found in slumber in the North Pole and revived by Hell Saturn to be Black Magma's [[TheDragon Dragon]].
----
* AfroAsskicker: Has a ''metal'' afro as part of her cyborg transformation.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Hell Saturn allows her to join Black Magma, with the alternative being Hell Saturn invoking cardiac arrest on her by shutting down her mechanical heart.

* ExBigBad: Was the BigBad of ''[[Series/DenshiSentaiDenziman Denziman]]'' but now she's working under someone else. She's also a DeconstructedCharacterArchetype of the DemotedToDragon variant of this; even with the precautions Black Magma took, there's no way a fallen EvilOverlord is going to let someone else boss her around for long, and it ultimately is a major factor in Black Magma's fall.
* TheHeavy: Queen Hedrian is quite proactive as a Dragon and executes a number of schemes all on her own. At times one could mistake her for the BigBad, in fact.
* HijackedByGanon: Hijacking Black Magma and pulling this is her end goal. [[spoiler:She succeeds in #47 after offing Hell Saturn and positioning herself as Black Magma's new leader, at least until the Omnipotent God steps in.]]
* LargeHam: Sleeping under ice didn't do anything to sap her showiness.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Hedrian is pretty lazy for a Dragon - in twelve episodes, the two times she does anything are out of selfish greed.
* SealedEvilInACan: When Black Magma finds her her body is frozen and she has to be thawed out.
* TheStarscream: She's not too happy about being DemotedToDragon and secretly plots to usurp control of Black Magma from Hell Saturn. [[spoiler:She eventually succeeds by manipulating Inazuma Ginga into offing Hell Saturn, allowing her to seize power.]]
* VillainousFriendship: Shares a mutual respect with Amazon Killer.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amazon_killer_full_profil.jpg]]
A Vader Clan field commander who comes to Earth from space to serve under Queen Hedrian.
----
* AvengingTheVillain: [[spoiler:Considering Queen Hedrian was killed at the hands of the Omnipotent God and Hell Saturn's ghost, her revealing the Omnipotent God's location to Sun Vulcan could be seen as this.]]
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: [[spoiler:Commits suicide after losing her duel against Sun Vulcan, choosing to die on her own terms rather than under the Omnipotent God.]]
* BlingOfWar: Wears a bright gold crown.
* TheBrute: An incredibly strong warrior who's the one usually sent in as muscle against the heroes.
* DarkActionGirl: She's tough-as-nails and powerful enough to take on all of the Sun Vulcan at once.
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:Becomes the nominal leader of Black Magma after both [[BigBad Hell Saturn]] and [[TheDragon Queen Hedrian]] are knocked off. She's still subservient to the [[TheManBehindTheMan Omnipotent God]] though.]]

* LadyOfWar: An elegant but extremely deadly female enforcer for Black Magma.
* RememberTheNewGuy: She's one of the Vader Clan's strongest commanders, but she was never mentioned by Queen Hedrian or anyone else during the events of ''Denziman'', having apparently been elsewhere in space at that time.
* SerialEscalation: It's implied by Queen Hedrian that she's much stronger than Banriki, TheBrute from ''Denziman'', and would have been able to stop him when he mounted his coup against the clan.
* SixthRanger: Joins the Black Magma midway through.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: While she does have some character differences, she essentially fills the same role Zero-One did as commander of the Zero Girls.
* VillainousFriendship: Very loyal to Queen Hedrian, and close enough to her to be her co-conspirator in her plan to take over Black Magma.
* VillainsDyingGrace: [[spoiler:Before dying, she gives Sun Vulcan the location of the Omnipotent God.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: She's completely loyal to Queen Hedrian, Hell Saturn not so much...

* {{Expy}}: Of Keller and Mirror from ''Series/DenshiSentaiDenziman'', being a group of female spies on the villain side. They in turn received an expy in the form of the Girls Army in ''Series/SpaceSheriffShaider''.
* PsychoRangers: They follow a similar theming to a Sentai team, but serve as Sun Vulcan's opposite on the villain side.
* WeaponBasedCharacterization: Each of them wields a different weapon. 01 uses throwing knives, 02 has playing cards, 03 fights with a sword and 04 uses a KillerYoYo.
* YouAreNumberSix: They are all numbered 01 through 04.

* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:Winds up being used by Queen Hedrian to kill off Hell Saturn, allowing her to seize power.]]
