https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zone.jpg
An interstellar alien army that has destroyed numerous planets throughout the cosmos. They target Earth to be the 1000th offering to their leader, Galactic Empress Meadow, so she may obtain immortality and rule the cosmos.
  • Aliens Are Bastards: Easily some of the nastiest aliens in the series, especially since they have an implied body count in the trillions.
  • Cast Herd: Aside from Garoa and Billion, every member of the Zone has their own associated henchmen. Doldora has Zaza, Dongoros has Saishal and Frinder, and Chevalier has the Gingamen.
  • Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: The Boma Tribe were a race of demons from within the Earth. The Zone are an assorted army of aliens from space.
  • The Empire: Zig-zagged. Despite their name the Zone are less an actual Empire and more Space Pirates who loot and destroy planets, with little interest in ruling them. They do seek to conquer the galaxy when all is finished though.
  • Enemy Civil War: One between Garoa and Chevalier over which of the is the rightful captain of Vulgyre.
  • Fictional Currency: They use the Dolyen bills as their currency, which are stated to be equivalent to 100 yen per bill.
  • Galactic Conqueror: Zone has 999 planets and counting under their belt.
  • The Horde: Their modus operandi is to invade planets and ravage them until they're devoid of life before moving on to the next.
  • Human Aliens: The top brass of Zone, save for Dongoros, are all human-looking aliens.
  • Make My Monster Grow: In their case, they're unique in that they don't actually grow their monsters, they have a Gorlin robot assimilate the monster and transform into a giant copy of it.
  • Serial Escalation: They have a much higher confirmed body count than previous Sentai evil organizations. While the last two alien empires, the Gozma and the Mess, were implied to have several hundred planet invasions under their belt, the Zone have a confirmed total of close to a thousand planetary genocides on their repertoire.
  • Space Pirates: Plunder planets before wiping them clean of life. Their crest even looks like a pirate emblem.
  • Standard Evil Empire Hierarchy:

    • The Right Hand: Doldora
    • The General: First Captain Chevalier
    • The Guard: Captain Garoa
    • The Oddball: Dongoros

    Meadow 

Galactic Empress Meadow | Actors: Chika Matsui (on-set face), Keiko Konno (voice)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/galactic_empress_meadow_ep2.jpg
Click here to see her "Yaksha" form.
The ruler of Zone, appearing as angelic face in the sky surrounded by a rainbow mane. She seeks to destroy 1000 planets in order to complete a ritual that will grant her immortality. She is later revealed to be a holographic projection created by Zone's true ruler.
  • Bad Boss: Zigzags between it and Benevolent Boss, keeping her henchmen in line with lightning while rewarding those who well, such as allowing Chevalier to retire early due to his immense success in accumulating victories for her and when she gave Garoa his position of Captain back after he destroyed Super Five Robo even though his own mecha got trashed in the end. She's also notable as its implied her minions follow her willingly as opposed to fear or some other reason.
  • Big Bad: The one leading Zone in their conquests. Subverted, as she's really an illusion created by Vulgyre.
  • Cult of Personality: Zone is one for her, its members all being devoted to her and ensuring she obtains immortality.
  • Dead All Along: It turns out the real Meadow died years ago and that the one who has been giving orders to Zone is an illusion created by Vulgyre.
  • Dead Person Impersonation: Of the real Meadow, who fell off a cliff after being chased by Vulgyre while rejecting his advances.
  • The Empress: A galactic empress no less.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: She speaks with a melodic, but much deeper voice than the other villainesses in the series.
  • Flying Face: She appears as a colorfully-maned face floating in the sky.
  • Game Face: In episode 42, after having had enough of all the Zone members failing to destroy Earth for nearly a year, her face morphs to be more orange and violent-looking. She claims she's turning into a Yaksha as a result of her her anger and disappointment at their repeated failures.
  • Glamor Failure: Direct exposure to the Sidon Flowers causes Meadow's hologram to fall apart.
  • Immortality Immorality: Seeks to become immortal by destroying 1,000 planets.
  • Light Is Not Good: Has a very bright and angelic appearance, while at the same time being an Omnicidal Maniac bent on obtaining eternal life.
  • Near-Villain Victory: By the time we see her she's already roughly 99.9% of the way to completing her goal, with Earth as the only planet left she needs to bring down.
  • Nightmare Face: Meadow's Yaksha form starting from #42.
  • Orcus on His Throne: Meadow rarely if ever gets involved in the Zone's conquests though unlike most Sentai examples she is perfectly willing to directly involve herself in her minions' schemes if they need her help for them or even to give them their mission. Near the finale it would turn out that she, or more specifically Vulgyre, had a good reason to be off-hands with the Zone's conquests.
  • Puppet Queen: A very literal example, since she's a projection controlled by Vulgyre.
  • Red Is Violent: Her appearance becomes more reddish after growing madder with the Zone's repeated failures to destroy the 1000th world and assuming her "Yaksha" form.
  • Supernatural Gold Eyes: Her eyes are yellowish gold.
  • Universally Beloved Leader: Meadow's subjects all revere her and serve her willingly, being drawn to her beautiful and angelic visage. When she is revealed to be nothing more than an illusion, none of the Zone members take it well.

    Garoa 

Captain Garoa | Actor: Takeshi Ishikawa

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/captain_garoa_ep2.jpg
The Captain of Vulgyre and Meadow's second-in-command.
  • A Day in the Limelight: Episode 26 follows him and sees him being forced into being a Mook for a day.
  • Absurd Cutting Power: He can slice off the roof of a car with his sword.
  • Butt-Monkey:
    • During Zone's Topsy Turvy Day, he is forced into becoming Zone's only Mook and taking the roles the Batzlers took while receiving death threats if he screws up. It gets deconstructed since after all the abuse Garoa goes through, he intends on returning the favor to his minions, especially the Batlzers as they tried to kill him along with the Fivemen.
    • Then after Chevalier resumes his duties as captain, Garoa is reduced to a janitor. But it gets deconstructed since he bids his time for a chance to resume his status as captain.
  • The Captain: of Vulgyre, Zone's flagship.
  • The Dragon: He's Meadow's lead commander, though his continued failures coupled with Chevalier's arrival lead to him getting demoted and replaced by Chevalier. He eventually gains the position back though, which leads to...
    • Co-Dragons: After being promoted back up to Captain, he shares the position of Meadow's right-hand with Chevalier.
  • Embodiment of Vice: Pride. He becomes more dangerous whenever he feels his pride is tarnished by another.
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars: Gaku gave him one years before the series, which established his rivalry with FiveRed.
  • The Heavy: While Meadow is the ruler of Zone, it's Garoa who commands their forces in her stead and is usually the one to one to come up with the plans to conquer Earth each episode.
  • It's Personal: A younger Gaku scarring him in the face made Garoa develop a personal hatred of him, driving his rivalry with the Fiveman's leader.
  • Karmic Death: A pretty undignified one, at that; he's inside Vulgyre as the latter explodes, trapped in the glass coffin Vulgyre had been keeping Meadow's body in, while screaming for his captain's chair. With his more loyal followers dead, his only company left is the disloyal and cowardly Dongoros after unintentionally stopping him from jumping ship.
  • Law of Chromatic Superiority: Wears a bright red helmet and is the captain of the Zone forces.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: While he undergoes Villain Decay in the middle portion of the show, he bounces back up after creating the Big Garoan and using it to trash the Fivemen's mecha, leading him to earn back his position.
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: His armor is black with some streaks of red and he's a very evil general who's aided the destruction of many worlds.
  • Red Right Hand: His facial scar.
  • Sanity Slippage: It starts with Chevalier showing up, as his Villain Decay intensifies and he becomes far more interested in the captaincy rather than doing Meadow's bidding. Then the final arc happens with Garoa learning that Vulgyre is a living being that manipulated Zone with everyone in his crew but Dongoros killed off. It is when he witnesses Chevalier being sacrificed for Vulgyre's transformation that Garoa completely loses. He spends most of final episode ranting of being captain while deluding himself that Vulgyre is still a spaceship, only having a brief lapse of clarity upon seeing Meadow's corpse and backstory, followed by a humiliating Karmic Death.
  • Self-Disposing Villain: How he livedand died.
  • Spiritual Antithesis: To Giluke in being a ship's commander spearheading an attack on Earth, but whereas Giluke got more dangerous and villainous Garoa suffers Villain Decay. He is also loyal to Meadow and only plotted against those who tried to usurp his position.
  • Taking You with Me: Played for Laughs and Horror. Not intentionally, but Garoa is trapped in Meadow's glass coffin as he knocked Dongoros down while trying to return to his captain's chair as Vulgrye dies. The two are so fixated on themselves that they failed to realize the chamber is caving in on them until it is too late.
  • Tarot Troubles: Twice with Chevalier.
    • First, Chevalier throws a Death card on the Franken Capsule following Arikanigin's creation. While it foretold demise, the Death card also symbolizes changes.
    • Secondly, Chevalier throws an Emperor card at Garoa while informing him that Meadow will be making him captain again. In the reversed position, the Emperor represents petty emotions and poor leadership which plays in Garoa's situation and mindset.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Meadow, being one of her most devout followers and doing everything he can to impress and keep her favor. It's so strong that part of his Sanity Slippage in the series final as refers to the real Meadow as "Galactic Empress Meadow" and "Meadow-sama" even being mortified when her corpse vanishes after her spirit moves on to the afterlife before falling into it himself.
  • Visual Pun: In #26, he is forced to swallow his pride and become everyone's butt monkey with two golden spheres dropping off his person when Koganegin asks if he has gold on him. In Japan, the word for "testicles" is 金玉 (kintama) literally means “gold balls". So in context, Garoa loses his balls during Topsy-Turvy Day.
  • Villain Decay: Once a genuine threat, but after more than a few failures, gradually bigger humiliations like Topsy-Turvy Day and Chevalier's appearance, he decayed so much that he becomes a full-blown bumbling comic relief villain and demoted to janitor for his many failures. He did somewhat recover in the last arc, though.
  • Would Hurt a Child: While all the Zone members are this by default, Garoa stands out in that he intended to personally off a young Gaku for wounding his face in self-defense.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Afraid of caterpillars.

    Doldora 

Galactic Scientist Doldora | Actor: Hatsue Nishi

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doldora_ep3.jpg
The resident Mad Scientist and weapons designer of Zone, as well as one of Meadow's most loyal followers.
  • Alas, Poor Villain: Even if she did assist in the destruction of hundreds of planets, her last moments are no less horrific. She learns the idol she pledged herself to is actually a beast's illusion, causing her to become hysterical over wasting her life before being fused with her loyal bodyguard into a mindless monster.
  • All for Nothing: What she boils down learning that Meadow was merely a facade used by Vulgyre, realizing that she wasted her life in faithfully following an illusion. She takes this realization really hard.
    Doldora: How did I devote all my life to this?! What... What did I even live for?! Galactic Scientist Doldora... What has she even accomplished?!
  • Animal Motifs: Her armor is scorpion-themed.
  • Bling of War: She wears gold-plated armor all across her body.
  • Brains and Brawn: With her henchwoman Zaza. Doldora is a genius scientist while Zaza is a strong fighter, although Doldora is a skilled fighter as well.
  • Dark Action Girl: One of the strongest fighters in Zone. She even managed to take out the entire Knight Corps of a planet Zone attacked.
  • Evil Genius: She's the primary brains of the Zone, being their chief weapons designer and the one who develops most of their other technology as well. And she's quite cunning and manipulative on top of all that.
  • Fate Worse than Death: Vulgyre combines her with Zaza and turns them both into a Combined Galactic Beast.
  • Gold-Colored Superiority: Clad in golden armor and one of the highest-ranking commanders in Zone.
  • Go Mad from the Revelation: Finding out that Vulgyre was the true ruler of the Zone and that Meadow was a facade broke her to Laughing Mad levels.
  • Honey Trap: Episode 17 sees her disguise herself as a human woman named Midori in order to seduce Fumiya and break up the Fivemen's sibling bond.
  • Insignia Rip-Off Ritual: Upon learning that Vulgyre had been using her her entire life, she discards her helmet, signifying that she's lost her faith.
  • Maker of Monsters: Halfway through the show she invents a machine for Zone to create Combined Galactic Warriors with.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Episode 31 sees her creating an illusion of Fivemen's mother in other to lure Remi into a trap.
  • Master of Disguise: Disguises herself as a human on occasion to go undercover and/or fool the Fivemen.
  • Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: Zone's resident evil scientist.
  • Red Baron: "The Galaxy's Greatest Genius".
  • Reforged into a Minion: When Doldora becomes too insane to continue serving, Vulgyre fuses her with Zaza to combine both of them into a Galactic Warrior.
  • Undying Loyalty: One of Meadow's oldest followers and her most loyal. Finding out that she didn't really exist sent her into a Villainous Breakdown.
  • Villainous Breakdown: She has an Ahames-level breakdown when she learns Meadow was an illusion and she was deceived by Vulgyre.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Had no qualms of harming a trio of kids when they figure out Amoebarugin's method of self-revival.

    Billion 

Galactic Swordsman Billion | Actor: Shunsaku Kudo

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/billion_ep2.jpg
A skilled swordsman serving as one of Zone's field commanders.
  • Accidental Hero: Episode 39 reveals that he saved the life of the alien woman, Sora, when he struck down a group of monsters that killed her parents and almost got her; he didn't mean any of that, he just wanted to kill the opponents and left without a word once done.
  • The Alcoholic: As he himself put it, he only lives for sake and the sword.
  • Bait the Dog: Episode 39 has him manipulate Sora, an alien woman who fell in love with him after he unwittingly rescued her, to get her to destroy the Fiveman for him by claiming to be a defender of Earth who wants to protect the planet. Sora is livid when she discovers the truth and only remains loyal to him out of Mad Love since Billion went along with the charade so well she became twice as devoted to him. The Fiveman are less than happy about this act.
  • Blood Knight: The revelations near the end of the series don't faze him for very long and he goes back to his role as a soldier. That line about only living for sake and the sword comes from when Gaku asks why he's still doing it; turns out he doesn't care about any of that and just wants to keep fighting.
  • The Brute: The toughest physical fighter among the Zone and as such the one most commonly sent in to fight the heroes.
  • Even Evil Has Standards:
    • In episode 39, when Sora more or less forces him to finish her off after she is mortally wounded he is actually shocked about the turn of events and even seems to reflect on her death for a while by mentioning her name one last time and throwing out a rose in her memory before moving on.
    • He is noticeably disgusted when Vulgyre turns Doldora and Zaza into a Combined Galactic Beast.
  • False Friend: He called upon Torarugin, an old ally of his, to possess Gaku's body, only to start attacking it, knowing that he was damaging Torarugin as well. When his old friend protested, Billion said that as a member of Zone, he was willing to do anything to accomplish his goal.
  • Last Villain Stand: His final fight with Gaku could be seen as this. By that point, Meadow was revealed to be fake and Vulgyre was forcing the Zone to serve him under threat of death so he really didn't have much to live for besides his rivalry with the Fivemen's leader.
  • Make My Monster Grow: Has his own method of growing by using Saberugin.
  • Master Swordsman: He's an incredibly skilled swordfighter, hence his title "Galactic Swordsman."
  • Manipulative Bastard: Downplayed in his conduct with Sora.
  • One-Winged Angel: With Saberugin, he becomes Saber Billion.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: He allows Saberugin to be used by a child, knowing the Fivemen would not harm the child as he gathers the energy needed for his Saber Billion transformation.
  • Would Hurt a Child: He was perfectly willing to allow the aforementioned Torarugin to possess a small child in order to force Gaku to submit to possession, knowing that Torarugin's Possession Burnout could have killed the boy.

    Zaza 

Galactic Fang Zaza | Actor: Motoko Watanabe

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zaza_ep13.jpg
A humanoid alien hatched by Doldora from an egg who serves as her bodyguard.

    Dongoros 

Galactic Merchant Dongoros Voice Actors: Takuzō Kamiyama (eps. 1-4), Osamu Katou (eps. 5-48)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dongoros.jpg
A short, fat, stubby alien merchant who works as the accountant for Zone and provides them with the Gorlins they use to grow their Galactic Warriors.
  • Butt-Monkey: He's often clowned on by the other Zone members.
  • Death by Materialism: Dongoros had a lot of time to escape Vulgyre unharmed after he finished his transformation but got so caught up in trying to take all the treasure from Zone that he could as "reward" that by the time he finally started his true escape it was too late and he gets caught up and killed in the final explosion.
  • Evil Genius: A secondary one to Doldora, given how he's the treasurer and the one who creates the Gorlins.
  • Greed: He really loves money... It's his driving motivation to work for Zone as their accountant, he even gets cheap enough to hire lame Galactic Warriors to the other members' chagrin.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: He's a money-grubbing tightwad motivated by his self-interests, looking for efficiently cheap methods to the distain of his peers. Even Meadow outright says she does not trust him with spearheading an attack.
  • Karmic Death: His greed leads to him staying behind as Vulgyre is on the rampage to loot the vault onboard, only for him to be caught in the explosion.
  • Non-Standard Character Design: He looks really weird for this series' major villains, not being humanoid like all the other major Zone members and being entirely portrayed via suit.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When Vulgyre is about to be destoryed, Dongoros attempts to cut his losses and leave with Zone's remaining funds. But he is tripped by Garoa, resulting in his Death by Materialism.
  • Team Pet: For the Zone even if he's technically their accountant, being their token non-human and comic relief.

    Chevalier 

First Captain Chevalier Actor: Kihachirō Uemura

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/captain_chevalier_ep30.jpg
The first captain of Vulgyre. He served Meadow in the past before being allowed to retire as reward for his numerous successful conquests. He later rejoins the Zone after growing bored of his life of luxury and quickly displaces Garoa as Meadow's second-in-command.
  • A Father to His Men: Treats the Galaxy Sentai Gingamen well. There's a reason they're so loyal to him.
  • Affably Evil: He's a pretty friendly guy for an evil space warlord and is a Benevolent Boss to his minions, sans Garoa.
  • AM/FM Characterization: Blasts Kai Band's "HERO (Hero ni Naru Toki, Sore wa Ima)" when he first comes to Earth.
  • Bling of War: Not as much as Doldora, but his suit has several golden and sparkly accents.
  • Breakout Villain: A downplayed example. Fiveman's ratings shot up quite a bit after Chevalier was introduced, leading his actor's name to be included in the opening credits for the final episode even though Chevalier died an episode before and did not appear.
  • The Captain: Vulgyre's First Captain, granting him a higher rank than Garoa.
  • The Charmer: One of his superpowers seems to be the ability to charm anyone in radius to him with his singing and good looks, even the Fiveman girls and Empress Meadow can't resist his charms.
  • Corrupted Character Copy: Hmmm, a charismatic man in white with an excellent sense of style who joins his team midway through? He's essentially the Evil Counterpart to Big One.
  • Defector from Decadence: He lived a hedonistic lifestyle on his homeworld after retiring as captain, only to return to Zone years later as he grew bored with his life.
  • Draco in Leather Pants: In-Universe, he's a very bad man but all the women in the show love him and ignore the horrible crimes he's responsible for, solely for how pretty and charming he is. Even the Fiveman girls can't resist fawning over him despite being his greatest enemies.
  • The Dragon: Replaces Garoa as Meadow's right-hand soon after his arrival, though Garoa eventually manages to get promoted back up, causing the two to share the position.
  • Foil: To his fellow Captain, Garoa. Garoa wears traditional villainous colors and starts off a serious foe before devolving into a joke. Chevalier opts for a bright and seemingly benevolent look to himself and, underneath his light-hearted veneer, is a very serious threat to the Fivemen.
  • Gratuitous English: Peppers his speech with English phrases.
  • The Heavy: From the moment he appears he supplants Garoa's role as this for Meadow, as Chevalier is the most active and direct soldier of Zone who spearheads several attacks and plans. In the finale he is the one who spearheads killing the Fiveman to grant Vulgyre the death energy he so much desires, unwittingly succeeding when he is killed by Gaku.
  • Hero Killer: One of his operations actually leads to Gaku/Five Red's death, it's only trickery on Kazumi's part against Wanikaerugin's time control that prevents his success from sticking.
  • Knight of Cerebus: With Garoa having become a joke, Chevalier's arrival sees the show becoming much more serious again.
  • Large Ham: He's what happens when you get someone with singing talent to play your villain.
  • Light Is Not Good: Even though he's a brutal warlord, he wears white armor and proclaims himself the "Hero of the Galaxy".
  • My Master, Right or Wrong: Continues to serve Vulgyre when after the latter's Meadow illusion is revealed, showing no delusion or mental breakdown compared to Garoa.
  • Near-Villain Victory: He's probably come the closest to defeating the Fivemen, and has bested them on numerous occasions before either dumb luck, a coincidence or his minions' incompetence ruined said victories.
  • Noble Demon: Is he a commander in an evil empire that razes planets? Yes. Is he going to let that stop him from being a sophisticated gentlemen? Heck no!
    • This trope is particularly emphasized in episode 34, where he tasks a Combined Galactic Warrior with capturing humans in cans and fermenting them... all so he can give his crew a tasty meal for their hard work. When he captures FivePink in a can and Dongoros offers him money for it, Chevalier says it's against his code of conduct to take money from his subordinates and tosses him FivePink for free. What a guy!
  • Officer and a Gentleman: The Zone's First Captain, and a cultured gentleman who abides by a code of honor, even if he's still willing to commit war crimes.
  • Sixth Ranger: Joins the current Zone forces about halfway through the series.
  • To Serve Man: His scheme in episode 34 involves him using Samejigokugin to capture humans in can packages then cook them, because he believes their taste to be the best in the universe and wants to give his crew a delicious meal.
  • Troll: He's a friendly guy most of the time, but he's not above getting jabs in at others' expense, usually the Fiveman or Garoa.
  • Uriah Gambit: On the receiving end of one. Vulgyre intended for him to die (or at least had it as a back-up plan) in his battle against the Fiveman so he could charge him with the blood of his victims and absorb it to go One-Winged Angel.
  • Villain Respect: He considers the Fivemen formidable opponents. Part of the reason he came out of retirement was to fight them.
  • Wicked Cultured: He's a cruel man, but he's also very refined and a gifted singer.
  • Worthy Opponent: Views FiveRed as his rival, and even takes time to pay his regards after he kills Gaku in episode 32.

    Galaxy Sentai Gingamen 

Galaxy Sentai Gingamen

A group of five alien warriors who form a Sentai-esque team mirroring the Fivemen.
  • Department of Redundancy Department: Their name said in Japanese is Ginga Sentai Gingaman.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: The members appear in earlier episodes before their formal introduction in #9, albeit as individual alien members of Zone as opposed to a group.
  • Engineered Heroics: They collaborated with Doldora in a scheme involving Gagrugin, pretending to be heroes.
  • Evil Counterpart: To the Fivemen, being essentially their evil alien equivalents albeit they're an all-male squadron.
  • Mook Carryover: Since their actual master Chevalier is away on retirement for the first half of the series, up until he returns they tended to just serve under whoever was The Heavy for a particular episode.
  • Psycho Rangers: They're a team of color-coded aliens serving Zone who are obviously meant to mirror the Fivemen. This is invoked even moreso by Hiruagehagin transferring the Fivemen's transformation energy into them.
  • Quirky Miniboss Squad: Zone's team of colorful and quirky henchmen.
  • Undying Loyalty: They work with Zone under Garoa's command for most of the series, but their true loyalty is to Chevalier and rejoin his side when he returns.

    Batzler Soldiers 

Batzler Soldiers

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/batzler_soldiers_ep26.jpg
The crab-like footsoldiers of Zone.
  • Dragon Ascendant: Just for Topsy-Turvy Day on episode 26 they are given the rank of The Heavy that belonged to Garoa and are placed in charge of Zone for the day. They take a lot of glee in getting back at their bosses, and even attempt to kill off Garoa to cement their dominion.
  • Giant Enemy Crab: They're themed after crabs.
  • Killed Off for Real: One of the few grunt groups to have an explicitly stated end, as the last Batzlers are forced to fight the Fiveman and aid Garoa alongside Chevalier and the Gingaman. They all get defeated holding the Fivemen off.
  • Mooks: Zone's main grunt force.
  • Opposite Day: Zone has one every twenty years, with the Batzlers getting to be the Big Bads for a day while Garoa is forced into their mook role.
  • The Starscream: An inversion, the Batzlers become the leaders of Zone per Zone's Topsy-Turvy Day and try to kill off Garoa while he was still a low-level mook. But he survived with every intent on getting revenge on the Batzlers once returning to their proper rankings with Zone's hierarchy.

Number 339

A hapless, weak and unlucky Batzler who becomes his kind's laughingstock after a botched transformation spell. He befriends Remi when she feels sympathy towards his situation.
  • Hands Looking Wrong: Realizing he has a turtle's shell when he botched a transformation spell.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Dies protecting Remi from a mortal attack of Batzlergin, ensuring she can destroy the transforming crystal and thwart the Zone's plan.
  • Mook–Face Turn: After Remi treats him nicely, he grows to care for her and all she stands for, turning against the Zone.
  • Power of Love: What motivates his Heel Face Turn and what allowed him to perfectly assume Remi's appearance.
  • Spanner in the Works: If he hadn't screwed up so much before his redemption, the Zone could have had a shot at winning with the transformation plan.
  • Twin Switch: Poses as Remi to be a decoy to distract Batzlergin.
  • You Are Number 6: He's only ever called "339", it's unknown if that's his true name or just a designation code as a member of Zone.

    Galactic Ship Vulgyre (Massive Spoiler) 

Galactic Ship/Galactic Super Beast Vulgyre | Actor: Seizō Katō (voice)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vulgyre_landed_ep2.jpg
Click here to see Vulgyre's true form.
The flagship of Zone and secretly their true leader, with Meadow being an illusion created by him to lead the Zone. He seeks to assume his Galactic Super Beast form to destroy Earth so he can absorb the energy produced by the countless deaths resulting from it.
  • Bad Boss: He has absolutely no compunction with sacrificing or murdering his underlings, mutating Doldora and Zaza into a Combined Galactic Warrior, kills two scientists of Zone for daring to jump ship and later allowing Chevalier to die in order to absorb the blood of his victims.
  • Batman Gambit: His plan in the penultimate episode as he undergoes a molting process to his Galactic Super Beast. Either Chevalier defeats the Fivemen and Vulgyre is rid of his most troublesome foes, or Chevalier dies against them. Either way, Vulgyre gets the energy from the finest death he requires to assume his One-Winged Angel form.
  • The Battlestar: Vulgyre's functions as the Zone flagship include the ability to deploy Vulgol fighters and Gorlins.
  • Big Bad: He's the true leader of Zone and the source of their conquest. Meadow is an illusion created by him.
  • Botanical Abomination: His Galactic Super Beast form is this: A massive monster covered in thorns, with gigantic petals along the back, masses of roots for legs (though he can't seem to actually walk with them; he's only ever seen hovering, so presumably the legs are more for support), and additional root tentacles.
  • Combat Tentacles: His primary appendages are four tentacle-like arms that are just as durable as the rest of his body, and which he is capable of swinging around to destroy buildings and anything else in range.
  • Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Though they share many similarities, he can be seen as one to Star King Bazoo. But while Bazoo is a Planet Eater who uses fear to keep his minions in line and consumes worlds to survive, Vulgyre is a Godhood Seeker who maniuplates his minions into doing his dirty work while his reason for destroying worlds are purely selfish.
  • The Dog Was the Mastermind: Who could have guessed the spaceship the Zone travel on was the true Big Bad?
  • Eldritch Abomination: He's a massive, monstrous entity from space capable of taking the form of a ship that feeds on the blood of innocent victims. His Galactic Super Beast form is no less terrifying.
  • Evil Evolves: Uses the residual energy caused by death to increase his power, the death of one who killed thousands of lives being the most effective.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: Speaks with an unnaturally deep and slimy voice.
  • Expy: Hm, a living being disguised as something people can travel on who destroys planets and manipulates followers? Hey, we have another Bazoo! He's even voiced by the same guy!
  • The Faceless: Even after he's revealed to be behind Meadow, his true form isn't shown until he becomes the Galactic Super Beast.
  • Faux Affably Evil: As Meadow and even somewhat in his true identity, Vulgyre can act nice and/or say good things to his followers. Even letting Chevalier retire for doing a good enough job at the start of Zone's campaigns. But as his actions show in the finale, it's all just to keep them in line, once he has no use for them expect that kindness to be thrown out the window. This all is best summed up by his reaction to Doldora's breakdown upon learning the truth about Meadow and what he says this right before mutating her and Zaza into a Combined Galactic Warrior..
    Vulgyre: "Doldora, I cannot bear to see you like this. Poor thing. Let me put you at rest."
  • Foil: Ironically, he's one to himself, or rather his Meadow persona
  • Genius Loci: He disguises himself as Zone's ship.
  • Godhood Seeker: His ultimate goal by absorbing the death energy caused from the destruction of a thousand planets with Earth being the last.
  • Green and Mean: His true form is a teal-like green and he's by far and away the nastiest villain in the story.
  • Hollywood Acid: His stomach acid is strong enough to melt solid stone.
  • Horns of Villainy: Has two colossal bent horns jutting out from behind his head in his Galactic Super Beast form.
  • Invincible Villain: In his Super Galactic Beast form he's this in a straight-fight, nothing thrown at him does more than bounce off his skin, it takes the Sidon Flowers and Meadow's spirit weakening and mortally wounding him to leave him in a state that can be defeated.
  • It's All About Me: Vulgyre only cares about himself and his own desire to obtain immortality, his followers and the 999 planets he ravaged be damned.
  • The Juggernaut: Proves virtually unstoppable once he goes Galactic Super Beast and trashes everything that gets thrown at him.
  • Knight of Cerebus: Any hint of light-heartedness the show had before evaporates once Vulgyre's true nature is revealed, and he's always played completely seriously after he emerges.
  • Large and in Charge: Exaggerated. On account of being The Battlestar of Zone, he's massively bigger than all of his subordinates and one of the few monsters in the series to start off giant-sized.
  • Living Ship: We get some hints, like the mysterious power source Garoa finds, but this isn't known until late in the series when Gaku peels back a wall on the Galactic Ship to find out that it's alive.
  • The Man Behind the Man: Galactic Empress Meadow was nothing more than an illusion and puppet of sorts created by him to lead the Zone. Considering how horrific his true form is though, can you really blame him for putting up a fake face?
  • Manipulative Bastard: Used an illusion in the form of the angelic Empress Meadow to rally the Zone into destroying planets for him and to ensure their loyalty.
  • Meaningful Name: His name sounds a lot like "vulgar", and he's a very vulgar creature.
  • Monster Misogyny: Desired a woman named Meadow to be his queen, and when she rejected his advances and fell of a cliff, trapped her body and soul within him so she would be his forever.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Subverted. After the real Meadow falls off a cliff and dies, Vulgyre calls out her name in grief while looking over her dead body... And then followed by trapping her body and soul within himself to prevent Meadow from moving on to the afterlife before taking her form to start his campaign of death and destruction.
  • Near-Villain Victory: He went One-Winged Angel, trashed the Fivemen's mecha and nearly destroyed the final planet needed for his ritual before being stopped by the Sidon Flowers and the real Meadow's spirit.
  • No-Sell: None of the Fivemen's attacks can phase him, not even the Diamond Max! It's only by taking the Sidon flowers with them as they plunge the Super Five Robo down his gullet that they can weaken Vulgyre.
  • Not So Invincible After All: Safe to say that without the Sidon Flowers he would have won with ease. Once they do affect him, though, he goes down hard.
  • One-Winged Angel: Galactic Super Beast Vulgyre, his ultimate and true form which he assumes by consuming the blood of the past victims of Zone. It makes the heroes' machines and base look like toys.note 
  • Powered by a Forsaken Child: He uses the energy produced from countless deaths to increase his power and inch nearer to godhood, using the energy produced from Chevalier's death (augmented by his numerous victims) to molt into his Galactic Super Beast so he can finish Earth off personally.
  • Rasputinian Death: The Fivemen slay Vulgyre by flying into his mouth with the Sidon flowers in hand, releasing Meadow's spirit via the flowers to do further damage and escape, then turning around and flying into him as a fireball to destroy him from the inside-out.
  • Seven Deadly Sins: He runs the gambit on all seven.
    • Envy - Filled with contempt for beautiful living things, likely on account of his own disgusting appearance.
    • Gluttony - Vulgyre assumes his One-Winged Angel form by feeding one the blood of the countless victims who've perished in Zone's conquest.
    • Greed - Only cares about obtaining more power for himself to the expense of everyone else.
    • Lust - Lusted after Meadow in the past to the point of driving her to her death and kept her corpse entombed within him to keep her to himself, drawing a distinction between this and actual love.
    • Pride - Views himself as the "God of the Galaxy" and wants immortality so he can solidify that claim.
    • Sloth - Vulgyre does very little throughout the series apart from giving orders as Meadow, leaving most of the actual work for conquering Earth to his subordinates.
    • Wrath - Razed 999 planets and systematically slaughtered their inhabitants in his quest for immortality.
  • She Is the King: A Rare Male Example. Vulgyre is a male, but reigns in the guise of the beautiful Galactic Empress Meadow because his true form is too repulsive to attract followers. Even when he reveals himself, he is never referred to as an emperor to further this.
  • Stalker with a Crush: Towards the real Meadow, whom he sought to make his bride and ended up getting killed when she refused him and he tried to hunt her down. Even her death didn't stop him as he took her body, entombed it within himself then kept her spirit prisoner within himself so Meadow would never leave him.
  • The Voice: Even after the truth is discovered, Vulgyre only speaks as a disembodied voice and doesn't show his true form, on account of the ship itself technically being his body.
  • Walking Spoiler: His true nature spoils almost everything about Meadow and Zone's true agenda.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: The Sidon flowers, which have the power to revitalize dead worlds, are enough to have him crash in his normal form from their pollen alone. Even in his titanic and virtually unstoppable Galactic Super Beast form they harm and weaken him enough for the Fiveman to defeat him.

  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: By episode 48, he's sacrificed Doldora, Zaza and Chevalier and stopped caring about his remaining minions, including Garoa and Dongoros. Considering Vulgyre had become virtually invincible and was on the verge of completing his goal, he really didn't need them anymore.

Galactic Warriors and Monsters

    In General 
Monstrous aliens used by the Zone in their conquest. They are later succeeded by the Combined Galactic Warriors, which are creating by fusing two Galactic Warriors together.

A lion-like alien circus entertainer who was in a duo with his best friend Jeeg, but fell to despair after the Zone killed children across the Galaxy and destroyed most planets, opting to side with Zone to have a chance at survival.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: The Gorlin that asborbed him took control of his mind after he'd been talked down, forcing the Fiveman and Jeeg to snap him out of the brainwashing so he can break free and separate from the Gorlin.
  • Break the Cutie: Initially was a happy entertainer, then the Zone attacked and killed so many people and destroyed so many planets that Liogin gave up on bringing hope and joined them since he believed fighting them was futile.
  • Fighting Clown: Was a member of the Galactic Circus.
  • Mighty Roar: Uses it to open portals to summon meteors.

Kamakiraagin

A mantis-themed Galactic Warrior summoned by Doldora from Planet V33 to assisinate the Fiveman.
  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Deconstructed.

  • Badass Boast: In his Establishing Character Moment.
  • Big Ego, Hidden Depths: He's arrogant and pathetic in a real fight, but is dangerous in the dream world.
  • Blasphemous Boast: Claims himself to be higher in the ranks of Zone, then as God in the realm of dreams.
  • Delusions of Grandeur: He is a Narcissist with a lot of unearned confidence, boasting about how easy he can kill the Fivemen.
  • Fatal Flaw: Arrogance and Pride. He would had killed the Fiveman as soon as they were in their dreams before his body is prodded by a kid were it not for him being supremely confident in his abilities and gloating his superiority.

  • Sinister Scythe: As a mantis-themed monster.
  • Sleep-Mode Size: He shrinks into a mantis for stealth reasons.
  • Your Mind Makes It Real: Instead of directly fighting the Fivemen, he goes after hem in their dreams. Any injuries his victims sustain in the dream, they sustain in real life: and if they perish there, then they die for real. But it works in reverse, as Kamakiri feels a kid prodding his real body with a stick while attacking the Fivemen in the dream world.
  • The Worf Effect: Once forced to properly fight the Fivemen, he easly ends up on the recieving end of a Curb-Stomp Battle.

Iwakasekigin

A meteor/fossil-themed Galactic Warrior that Chevalier creates from a meteor that he infuses with Vulgyre's energy, using the monster in a scheme to trap the Fiveman into rocks and render them helpless to ensure the Zone's victory.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: Succeeds at trapping most of the Fiveman into rocks with little effort and helps Chevalier deliver a defeated Gaku to Zone so Chevalier can personally get rid of him. Only Gunther's interference and Vulgyre accidentally drenching Gaku's prison with his gastric acids, freeing him and giving him the chance to dispatch Iwakasekigin in revenge, undoes this victory.
  • Living Statue: Can bring anything stone-based ro life.
  • Mook Maker: Can create "Rockmen" minions to aid it in battle, unlike the Batzlers, these minions are definite Elite Mooks.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Transforming the Fiveman into stone statues indirectly leads to Gaku learning of Vulgyre's true nature and revealing it when he was freed from the prison by the gastric juices of the beast.

  • Sore Loser: Attacks Five Robo for beating them at Menko.
  • Two Beings, One Body: Gorillagin and Washigin are partially fused back-to-back instead of side-by-side, the process apparently painful due to their screaming.
  • Tornado Attack: Not intentional at first but by arguing and trying to be each at the forefront of the talk/fight they generate so much momentum with their spinning that they create powerful tornados that keep even the Fiveman from approaching them. Once Garoa tells them of this, they begin to deliberately use this ability even as giants.

  • Death of Personality: While her mind is Doldora's, Vulgrye purged the woman of her free will and any anxiety to become a loyal desposable minion. And Zaza herself was completely destroyed beyond her physical traits.

  • Garden of Evil: Baradolgin can turn Sidon Flowers into vampiric roses.
  • Near-Villain Victory: She corrupted all but one Sidon Flower, with the last one coming within a hair's breath of following suit if a student hadn't saved it at the last minute and the Fiveman hadn't saved the boy on time.
  • No-Nonsense Nemesis: She is hellbent on fulfilling her mission and immediately corrupts the flower upon deployment, not even bothering to give the Fiveman any time to stop her. When a child saves the last flower from her, she immediately hunts him down and almost kills him, only failing thanks to the Fiveman arriving in time.
  • Tragic Monster: Essentially Doldora merged with Zaza and rose DNA, reduced to a mindless monster by Vulgyre to serve his needs. While both its components might've been unrepentant genocidal agents, their new state as a mindless forcefully merged monster does elicit some pity and sympathy.
  • Walking Spoiler: The circumstances behind her existence and her mission's main goal are big spoilers for the endgame.

    Mecha and other Weapons 

Gorlin Series Robots

Giant white warriors sent by Zone members to enlarge their defeated Galactic Warriors.

  • Make My Monster Grow: Their main purpose. It absorbs the defeated Galactic Warrior when on the verge of death, transforming into a giant berserk version of it.
  • The Unfought: One Gorlin knocked itself out before it could absorb Koumorugin, leading to the Galactic Warrior dying permanently and the Gorlin not having to face Five Robo.

Black Gorlin

A special Gorlin modified by Chevalier to serve as an assistant to his schemes. He trains it throughout the series in various encounters against the Fiveman.
  • Elite Mook: It's a Gorlin modified to have superior battle capacity by Chevalier and it proves a troublesome foe when deployed.
  • The Worf Effect: Despite all the hype around it being trained to fight the Fiveman's every mecha during its repeated deployments, it is quickly destroyed by Super Five Robo near the finale.

Big Garoan

Garoa's magnum opus, a robot made by modifying Gorlin #36 with a mysterious energy inside the Vulgyre's hidden rooms he found; he deploys it in a bid to regain his captaincy by one-upping Chevalier once and for all.
  • The Assimilator: Gorlin #36 absorb numerous construction vehicles to become Big Gaoran.
  • The Juggernaut: Utterly flattens and decimates Super Five Robo with ease, even catching all of its attacks without issue before blasting it to scrap. It takes its cockpit being blown by the Earth Cannon then getting showered with attack after attack from the Magma Base for it to be destroyed.
  • Wake-Up Call Boss: The Fiveman had it pretty easy once they got Super Five Robo and the Five Tector armor. Then Big Garoan comes in and destroys most of their mechas and helps to seal the deal that Garoa's back to his old competent self and that the climax is coming.
  • Walking Spoiler: Big Garoan's power source and the consequences of its use set up the endgame and Vulgyre's true nature.
