Turborangers

In General

• Contrasting Sequel Main Character: The Livemen from the previous series consists of university students from Academia Island whereas the Turborangers consists of high-schoolers from Musashino Academy. Furthermore, while the Livemen are technology-based team with animal motifs, the Turborangers are both mystic and technology-based team with vehicle motifs.

Riki Honoo/Red Turbo

Riki Honoo/Red Turbo | Actor: Kenta Satou

He's the leader of the team, but not exactly the brightest of the bulbs, pulling things off through sheer will. To be fair, he's just not really good at studying. He's a star baseball player.

• Book Dumb: Zig-zagged. He's quite smart in battles, but not so much in studying. However, it was implied that before becoming a Turboranger, his grades were actually decent.
• Cool Sword: GT Sword, his persoal weapon
  • Bifurcated Weapon: GT Sword + Turbolaser Sword Mode.
• Dual Wielding: He ends up dual-wielding his sword due to his 'special weapon'.
• "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: His actor sang the theme song. (And later returned to sing the theme to Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger.)
• Law of Chromatic Superiority: Pick any of the male villains. Ask who killed them. It was Riki.
• The Leader: The one who leads the team, despite having a hyperactive disorder.
• Signature Move: "GT Crash"

Daichi Yamagata/Black Turbo

Daichi Yamagata/Black Turbo | Actor: Fumiaki Ganaha

Second-in-command, and in contrast with Riki, he is actually pretty smart. Leads the team just in case Riki is absent. Other than being a smart boy, he is also a member of the track team, sometimes called 'Running Brain'.

• Determinator: He was very adamant on protecting his vehicle, to complete the Turbo Rugger.
• Genius Bruiser: Uses lots of heavy weaponry, ends up liking a sport like sumo, still one of the smartest of the class.
• What the Hell, Hero?: Is mostly the one to deliver it when someone does something completely improper. And when he does, he's screaming like hell.
• Would Hit a Girl: Ended up being the one to kill Jarmin.

Youhei Hama/Blue Turbo

Youhei Hama/Blue Turbo | Actor: Keiya Asakura

A senior of the swimming club, giving him good relations with children. His good looks also attracts girls, though this is offset that he is probably the second in terms of getting on the teacher's nerves.

• All Girls Want Bad Boys: Subverted. Youhei himself is a nice guy when it comes to girls, but everyone knows he's the second biggest 'troublemaker' in the eyes of the teachers. He still magnetizes girls regardless.
• The Big Guy: You will have to be keen to see this quality on him. Maybe that giant-swing on a Monster of the Week is the most shining example of it?
• Book Dumb: According to Word of God, he's even worse than Riki.
• The Chew Toy: Other than getting on the teacher's nerves, Youhei just had the misfortune of getting the most Distressed Dude moments, or that one when he lost all the girls attracted to him because his face got switched with a Dirty Coward nerd.
• Kiai: More prone to yell "CHESTO!".
• Likes Older Women: When he was a kid, he had a crush on his teacher.

Shunsuke Hino/Yellow Turbo

Shunsuke Hino/Yellow Turbo | Actor: Junichi Katagiri

A gymnast who try his best to be the class clown. Aside of having a Dead Little Brother, his other experience in past includes actually meeting Sayoko Tsukikage WAY before she became Kirika.

• Automatic Crossbow: B-Bowgun
• Forgotten Childhood Friend: He is friends with Sayo-chan, who was actually Kirika in the present day, during his childhood.
• The Lancer: He is the least straightlaced of the quintet.
• Plucky Comic Relief: The resident class clown, who often acts like a child.

Haruna Morikawa/Pink Turbo

Haruna Morikawa/Pink Turbo | Actress: Noriko Kinohara

She's pretty much the class' 'Miss Perfect', which includes being the Student Council President and the smartest girl in the class. She's excellent in acting, but has a kind heart and is the first one to realize how much it hurts to fight her classmates all the time.

• Fake Defector: Her most well-known feat is this.
• Friend to All Living Things: Nice with animals, as shown in the dog episode.
• The Heart: The most compassionate of the team, which plays heavily in the latter episodes.
• Nice Job Breaking It Heroine: When she learns about an artifact that might be able to stop her friends (the Turborangers and Nagare Boma) from fighting each other, she desperately sought it and forcefully used it... only for it to turn out that it seals both sides' powers and brings Neo-Lagorn back to Earth. She is really sorry about this.
• Student Council President: The girl with the best grades in their school, which earns her that position.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Seelon's Girly Girl.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She really doesn't like frogs.

Allies

Lakiya

Lakiya | Voice Actor: Banjo Ginga

• Physical God
• Stellification: Becomes a constellation at the end of episode 3.

Hundred Boma Tribes

In General

• Always Chaotic Evil: Subverted. It's heavily implied that the Boma's antagonism is born both out of resentment towards humanity for sealing them away and Lagorn's employment of various Boma to advance his goals. We meet several good-hearted Boma through the series as proof of it.

Great Boma Emperor Lagorn/Neo Lagorn

Great Boma Emperor Lagorn/Neo Lagorn | Voice Actor: Takeshi Watabe

• Bad Boss: Shows no gratitude to his underlings, despite the fact that they're the ones who unsealed him.
• Big Bad: The supreme ruler of the Boma Tribe, and the major antagonist of the series.
• Came Back Strong: After his initial defeat, he fed off the energy of the Turboranger and Wandering Boma to revive himself, stronger than ever.
  • Clipped-Wing Angel: That being said, oddly he's destroyed by an attack that his normal form no-sold.
• Didn't Think This Through: He realizes too late that forcing all of his generals to perform do-or-die tactics severely diminishes his forces.
• Generic Doomsday Villain: Has zero characterization beyond being an Evil Overlord.
• It's All About Me: The Boma might have a species-wide grudge against mankind for understandable reasons, but Lagorn doesn't care about any of that. All he's concerned with is getting his way at the expense of everyone else's lives.
• Orcus on His Throne: Justified as he's immobile for most of the series. Once he gains the ability to move around, he immediately gets off his throne and goes after the Turborangers himself. He gets destroyed by the Super Turbobuilder, but then comes back, at first behind the scenes, then openly.
• One-Winged Angel: Neo-Lagorn. He's gold-skinned and can actually move around now. Still ugly as hell, though.
• Ungrateful Bastard: As mentioned before, he treats his underlings very poorly, even though they were the ones who freed him.
• Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Despite it's lighthearted tone of the show, Lagorn's level of ruthlessness towards his subordinates makes him no different from the previous installments' Big Bads.

Boma Doctor Layda

Boma Doctor Layda | Actor: Masami Ishibashi

• Climax Boss: His final battle marks the end of the Boma hierarchy present since the first episodes and a turning point where the Wandering Boma eclipse the full blooded Boma as the main focus.
• Evil Old Folks: An old man in a silly ammonite suit who can still go toe to toe with a Red Ranger.
• Evil Genius: The Resident Boma Evil Genius.
• Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Riki skewers him badly during their showdown, though being Super Sentai it still takes a Finishing Move to kill him.
• Killed Off for Real: Was killed by Red Turbo during their showdown.
• The Dragon: He is Lagorn's top enforcer. After his death the position goes to Yamimaru.
• Technicolor Death: No simply fall-over-and-explode for him; he float up in the air bleeding sparks and lightning, erupts with huge squibs, explodes so fiercely everything around him explodes as well, and his spirit is seen cursing in the flames before dissolving.

Dark Boma Zimba

Dark Boma Zimba | Actor: Seiichi Hirai

• The Brute: The general who does most of the fighting during the first half of Turboranger.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: In the past, he did experience love to a princess. Which didn't go well. Even in the present day, despite hating love in general, he couldn't help but form a rapport with the equally evil Jarmin, enough that he offered himself to go for The Last Dance first before her.
• Samurai: A dark version of the trope, full on with Yoroi armor.
• Tragic Monster: He's no doubt a bonafide evil warrior, but his origin is one big tragedy: He dedicated his life for a princess that eventually just dumped him in his dying moments. Naturally, he took it well.

Boma Princess Jarmin

Boma Princess Jarmin | Actress: Kanako Kishi

• Animal Motifs: Snakes. Her method of enlarging a monster is via a snake beam she can breathe out of her mouth, her true form is a snake monster, and her weapon is that of a whip... which is pretty long like a snake. Evil like a snake too.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Jarmin is a bonafide bitch, but when she was first in queue to be sent for a final battle by Ragorn for failing too much, Zimba stepped up and took her place and for a moment, she was genuinely stunned at his sacrifice.
• Killed Off for Real: Was slain in her final bout against Black Turbo.
• The Smurfette Principle: The only female member of the Boma Tribe's original roster.
• Weapon Specialization: She's rarely seen without her whip whenever she appears. She can also empower it with her magic.

Rage Flying Boma Zulten

Rage Flying Boma Zulten | Voice Actor: Hideyuki Umezu

• Dirty Coward: He is prone to use underhanded tactics in order to get the upper hand. Not to mentioned that he`s sucking up to his superiors due to his weak-willed mentality.
• Dropped a Bridge on Him: Abruptly killed in a jet crash at the start of the final episode.
• Team Pet: Can literally be used as an ATV by the other Boma. Even Riki drove him once!

Wandering Boma

Hikaru Nagareboshi/Yamimaru

Hikaru Nagareboshi/Yamimaru | Actor: Yoshinori Tanaka

• Anti-Villain
• The Dragon: The right hand man of Lagorn after the death of the Terrible Trio.
  • Dragon with an Agenda: He plans to overthrow Lagorn and ends up making an Enemy Mine with the heroes to kill him for good.
• 11th-Hour Ranger: Sides with Kirika and the heroes during the finale.
• Expy: Like Char, he's a masked man with an agenda who has a fierce rivalry with The Hero and he has the ability to change into his human guise in order to blend with the society. He also gains a red-colored battle form once he's united with the awakened Kirika.
• Half-Breed Discrimination: Spent his life being rejected by both humans and Bouma.
• Half-Human Hybrid
• Heel–Face Turn
• The Starscream
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds - For spending years being treated badly by both humans and Boma.

Sayoko Tsukikage/Kirika

Sayoko Tsukikage/Kirika | Actress: Masako Morishita

• Anti-Villain
• Dark Action Girl: For the most part.
• 11th-Hour Ranger: Post Heel–Face Turn, she helps the Turborangers during the last episodes. Yamimaru tags along during the last episode too.
• The Glasses Gotta Go: Because apparently this show was before the Meganekko craze.
• Half-Human Hybrid
• Heel–Face Turn
• Knight of Cerebus: Her introduction, combined with the deaths of most of the Boma generals prior, changes the paradigm of the fight with the Boma for the darker.
• One-Drop Rule: As soon as she finds out she has Bouma blood, she completely abandons her human side.
• The Smurfette Principle: Following Jarmin's death, she's the sole female villain.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds - Since a child, she's constantly been bullied by her fellow humans, while her fellow Boma reject her completely.
