The Goggle Five
In General
- Friend to All Children: This show makes a point of each ranger having a child sidekick around the base, and in general they come to the aid of children a lot.
- Theme Naming: Each of the Goggle Five members has their color incorporated into their civilian name.
Ken'ichi Akama/Goggle Red
Ken'ichi Akama/Goggle Red | Actor: Ryouji Akagi
- Bare-Fisted Monk: Red Punch
- Big Damn Heroes: Guess who always threw the first Goggle Saber and yell its name. He also debuts this way.
- Cool Plane: Goggle Jet
- Law of Chromatic Superiority: For being Goggle Red, Akama is the prominent user of the motorcycle and is the only one allowed to throw the Golden Spear.
- The Leader: Leader of the Goggle V.
- Over Crank: The screen tends to slow down when he does the Red Punch.
- Standardized Leader: He fits your typical Sentai Red characterization as the courageous centerpiece of his team.
Kanpei Kuroda/Goggle Black
Kanpei Kuroda/Goggle Black | Actor: Junichi Haruta
- Bruce Lee Clone: Episode 9 sets him up in a Calvinball game on martial arts. Then he got his shirt off, starts yelling "WATAAAH!" and uses the famous flying kick. Not to mention that as Goggle Black, one of his weapons is... nunchaku.
- The Chessmaster & Chess Motifs: He could use some chess pieces as a throwing weapon. Also, coming up to conclusion and devising strategies, as well as mastering complex techniques.
- Easy Amnesia: He once fell for it when fighting Boar Mozoo. Though he's just faking to get him off guard.
- The Lancer: Mainly, since he is the second in command and is willing to hit Akama down if he's pushing himself too far.
- Named After Somebody Famous: Nearly implemented. There is a Sengoku-era strategist named Kuroda Kanbei. Kanpei is just different in one letter (and even then, a deeper spelling of 'pe' is 'be'), and he's also similarly The Strategist of the team.
Saburo Aoyama/Goggle Blue
Saburou Aoyama/Goggle Blue | Actor: Shigeki Ishii
- Foe-Tossing Charge: Blue Jet Dash
- Gratuitous English: In Episode 8, he utters one Engrish sentence.
- Kid-Appeal Character: Youngest of the men (still older than Miki) and is the 'kid-friendly' guy.
- Odd Friendship: Sort of. With Kijima, one that could be counted as his closest friend.
- Papa Wolf: Try to harm kids in front of Aoyama. I dare you.
- Rings of Death: Blue (Sapphire Jet) Ring
- The Smart Guy: He at least aspires to be an inventor... though only one invention came out of it: a Jet Pack. Also pretty good in stealth missions and uses lots of back flips in combat.
- He is also kind of Crazy-Prepared. When he got captured in Episode 8, he just happens to hide a mean of escape, a makeshift bomb, inside his shoes.
- The Sneaky Guy
- Worf Had the Flu: He was horribly owned by Moth Mozoo in episode 8 because they wounded his leg while he protected a woman, but in episde 33, when he fought Rattlesnake Mozoo, he owns it solo instead. Of course, the latter case involves kids....
Futoshi Kijima/Goggle Yellow
Futoshi Kijima/Goggle Yellow | Actor: Sanpei Godai
- The Big Guy: Very burly and the quintessential Sentai strongman.
- Boisterous Bruiser: Big, loud and unapologetic about it
- Book Dumb: The rest of the Goggles can help their Kid Sidekick with homework, but not Kijima. He's not exactly your best bet for that kinda stuff.
- Butt-Monkey: Yeah, in between getting whacked like a mole by accident, a Mozoo shot at his butt, getting his pants down thanks to a gunshot, getting a draw in that Calvinball situation above (while the rest of the Goggles won) or even debuting the show by falling off the stairs... We could go on forever with Kijima.
- Hachimaki: Often wears a headband around his head.
- Odd Friendship: Best buds with Aoyama.
- Parental Abandonment: The only member who averts this, as his father is alive and they even get to meet.
- Plucky Comic Relief: He's the main source of comedy in the series, usually because he's the one most often on the receiving end of misfortune.
- Stout Strength: Can singlehandedly push a huge boulder that required one Mozoo and lots of Mooks to push.
- Wrestler in All of Us: Lots of grappling moves and throws, but the Atomic Drop on a mook is the best example.
Miki Momozono/Goggle Pink
Miki Momozono/Goggle Pink | Actress: Megumi Oogawa
- Badass in Distress: In general, she tends to get picked as a random target for the enemies for her allies to save, but still holds her own. Episode 39 has the crowning example.
- Blow You Away: Some of her moves involves summoning winds to blow enemies away, or summoning wind to block the enemy attack.
- Cool Big Sis: Towards her Computer Girl (Akane).
- Crossdresser: Give her a wig and she could pass up as a handsome prince.
- Expy: By
Word of God, she's based on Honey Kisaragi, the titular character from Cutie Honey. - Image Song: She's probably one of the first character in Super Sentai to receive one, titled Hanasaku Goggle Pink. First sang by someone, then her actress sang her own version.
- First-Name Basis: The only one to be called by her first name, the rest are called by their last names.
- Glass Cannon: Given that Miki is a petite young woman and only 16 at that she's initially not quite as durable as the guys and in one early episode is seriously injured by an explosion the rest mostly walk off. Akane even briefly has a breakdown that she chose someone too frail to be the team's female warrior and made a mistake. Miki recovers though and toughens up as the show goes on.
- Master of Disguise: All she needs is to just spin around, and she can switch costumes at will. Read the Expy entry for reasons why)
- Ms. Fanservice: Always walk around with short pants that reveal her thighs, sometimes makes a cute wink and then, there's that one episode where she disguises herself as a Flamenco Dancer... that's hot.
- Mythology Gag: She quoted Karen Mizuki/Heart Queen after using her hypnosis "Do you want another?". Her one-time mirror usage might also be another one for Peggy Matsuyama/Momoranger.
- Plucky Girl: Got bombed directly, but still gets back up to not worry her friends. Completely trapped in a devil diary that is about to be burnt and her friends can't get her out, yet she gets out anyway.
- Shout-Out: Her Master of Disguise abilities are one to Cutie Honey.
- The Smurfette Principle: The only female among the Goggle V. She is also very pink and frequently the Damsel in Distress.
- Wise Beyond Their Years: She's 16 years old and seems to be living by herself like an adult.
Allies

Dark Science Empire Deathdark
In General
- Ancient Conspiracy: They've been pulling the strings behind scientific progress since iron was first discovered in Turkey. At least two of their current executives are over 2000 years old, in fact.
- Make My Monster Grow: Averted. Instead of enlarging their monsters, Deathdark sends down a giant mecha and revives the respective monster to pilot it.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Every male member of Deathdark (Except for Doctor Iguana) has one.
- Nebulous Evil Organization: They're a coalition of evil scientists looking to use science to Take Over the World. If one really thinks about their modus operandi, they may be responsible for almost every instance of science being used for evil.
- Obviously Evil: Dark Science Empire Deathdark.
- Science Is Bad: They certainly think so. They're experts in finding ways to use science for warfare and other ways of causing destruction.
Fuhrer Taboo
Fuhrer Taboo | Voice Actor: Eisuke Yoda
- Big Bad: The ruler of Deathdark and the driving force behind their attacks.
- Eldritch Abomination: There's a good reason why he kept staying behind the walls to his throne. This is what he actually looks like.
- Evil Overlord: Rules a vast underground secret society, with numerous evil scientists, warriors and Monster of the Week at his command.
- Evil Sounds Deep: Has a deep, booming and commanding voice courtesy of Eisuke Yoda.
- Go for the Eye: His weak spot is his eye.
- Gratuitous Nazis: Like Fuhrer Hell Saturn before him, he somehow has the 'Fuhrer' title despite being unrelated to Nazis. If you squint with Deathdark's background, however, it's extremely plausible that in this verse, Deathdark could have influenced the formation of Nazi Germany and the destruction it caused.
- LEGO Genetics: According to him, he was created by fusing "super genes" together to create the ultimate lifeform. Makes you wonder who it was that made him.
- Make My Monster Grow: He's the only monster in the series to physically grow. The rest were just piloting mecha.
- Orcus on His Throne: He does NOT leave his throne EVER until Deathtopia gets destroyed.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Fuhrer Taboo is quite an ominous name.
- No One Sees the Boss: Besides his glowing eye, we only get a vague outline of Taboo's sinister silhouette for most of the series.
General Deathgiller
General Deathgiller | Actor: Toshimichi Takahashi
- The Brute: He's a skilled swordsman and fierce warrior who usually gets sent in when muscle is needed.
- Cool Helmet: Skull Helmet
- The Dragon: He's Taboo's main enforcer and top field commander. He gets bumped down a bit when Deathmark arrives, but still fills the traditional Dragon role.
- Expy: His helmet has the same shape of Darth Vader's helmet, but it's silver and leaves Deathgiller's mouths and eyes exposed.
- The Heavy: Usually he stays at Deathtopia and rarely goes along to the field mission. He goes to field more often when Deathmark returns.
- Master Swordsman: Death Giller's preferred method of combat when it's necessary is good ol' swordsmanship.
- The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Has this mindset near the end of his life. Which is why he demanded that Deathmark not revive the Monster of the Week so he could pilot the Kong to directly fight Goggle V, especially Goggle Red. That action sealed his fate.
- The Rival: Views Akama as his Worthy Opponent and seeks to battle him.
Mazurka
Mazurka | Actress: Mayumi Yoshida
- Cool Helmet: Motorcyclist helmet
- Dark Action Girl: When necessary, she is perfectly capable of taking to the field.
- Eek, a Mouse!!: Subverted. She's all serious, but much like every female, little mice frighten her, at least until said mouse reveal itself as Mouse Mozoo, then she's calm and demanding again.
- Evil Counterpart: To Miki. Both are their team's Master of Disguise.
- The Heavy: She's the one usually overseeing Deathdark plans in the field from the beginning.
- Ma'am Shock: A Running Gag is that whenever she's in disguise and interacting with the kids that she'll involve with her plans, one of them will inevitably refer her as 'Aunt', which causes her to get taken aback a bit.
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: Wears a black leotard and helmet along with a red shawl.
- Taking You with Me: Method of death. And she did take out the lab with her
- Why Am I Ticking?: For her last mission, it turns out Deathmark planted a time bomb on her to explode with the Future Science Lab. And Death Giller was going along with the plan. She takes it as well as you'd expect from a villainess of her calibre.
Professor Zazoriya & Professor Iguana
Professor Zadoriya & Professor Iguana | Actors: Kumiko Nishiguchi (Zazoriya) & Eiichi Kikuchi (Iguana)
- Bumbling Henchman Duo: Two bumbling, often-arguing subordinates of Deathdark that provided humor from the bad guys' side.
- Evil Genius: Deathdark's scientists and planners who are responsible for designing the Humongous Mecha the organization uses.
- Maker of Monsters: Were the primary ones to create the Mozu Monsters in the first quarter of the series. Unfortunately, their failed creations resulted in both of them getting executed.
- Redemption Equals Life: Doesn't come into play, though if Zazoriya had chosen to defect for real in The Movie instead of being a Fake Defector, she wouldn't have been killed for her failures by Deathmark later.
- Shoo Out the Clowns: Their deaths mark the moment when the series starts getting darker.
- You Have Failed Me: They get executed mid-season since their numerous failures did not please Fuhrer Taboo, and with Deathmark's arrival, Deathdark's attacks are going to get more intense and serious.
Grand Marshal Deathmark
Grand Marshal Deathmark | Actor: Yousuke Naka
- Amazon Brigade: He has two handmaidens alongside him, Bella & Beth.
- Cool Helmet: Pharaoh style.
- Evil Genius: Mostly a planner, but reveals himself as a Genius Bruiser and a dangerous fighter in the last episodes when he takes to the frontline, though mostly via his own magic sword, contrasting to Death Giller's normal swordfighting.
- Expy:
- He looks a lot like Ambassador Hell.
- Character-wise, as an Ancient Egypt-themed Genius Bruiser who's extremely loyal to the Big Bad, he takes a few cues from Golden Mask.
- Genius Bruiser: He's mainly the Evil Genius for Deathdark, but is capable of holding his own against Goggle V when necessary.
- The Heavy: He takes over most of Deathdark's field operations when he returns.
- Knight of Cerebus: Once he made his entrance, Deathdark's strategies becomes more serious when compared to Iguana and Zazoriya's goofiness.
- Number Two: While Deathgiller fills the more traditional Dragon role, Deathmark is the one who's actually second to Taboo.
- Orcus on His Throne: Until the last episode, he's always in Deathtopia and dirty work goes to Death Giller and Mazurka.
- Sixth Ranger: Gets reawakened about a quarter of the way through.
Bella and Beth
Deathmark's two handmaidens.
- Bishounen Line: They actually assume more humanlike forms for the Final Battle.
- Satellite Character: Almost never seen without Deathmark near them.
