Psyma Clan

In General

A family of demons who seek to gather Minus Energy in order to revive their mother, Grand Witch Grandienne, and later to use it to conquer the earth.

Big, Screwed-Up Family: Despite the care shared between Zylpheeza, Cobolda and Denus; as well as their admiration of Grandiene, the Psyma are at their core so dysfunctional that it crosses over to this territory. Grandiene herself cares for no one but herself and all her children are just tools to be used and discarded when convenient, while Zylpheeza loves his youngest brother Drop, Drop/Salamandes has barely anything but disdain towards his siblings and eventually albeit briefly, turns against Grandiene after freeing himself from Hell; and even Zylpheeza isn't free of joining in the screwed-upness as he nearly killed Drop when it seemed like their mother would strip him of his Hades King power only being stopped by Pierre showing up, and that's without mentioning Darkness King Gill's attempted matricide the instant he was born which in turn set up Grandiene's paranoia about her children possibly betraying her.
Disappeared Dad: The father of the siblings is never mentioned, nor do we know they even have one or if Grandiene has a way of giving birth to them without one.
Dying Race: Towards the end of the series, Grandiene has Zylpheeza kill Cobolda and Denus gives up her life force to rescue Zylpheeza. Then, in the Final Battle, GoGoV uses the Max Victory Robo Sigma Project to kill Grandiene, Zylpheeza and Salamandines, dooming the Saima Clan to extinction.
Evil Is One Big, Happy Family: Sort of. See Even Evil Has Loved Ones, but some apparent thought of Parental Favoritism towards certain children like Zylpheela and Salamandes (though Grandiene doesn't really favors any out of emotional care so much as interest in their power) kind of ruins the chance of overly getting along with everyone just fine, but they're still doing pretty well together (though in episode 21, Zylpheeza came dangerously close to killing Drop when it seemed Grandiene would make him her successor due to Zylpheeza's many failures). Too bad that with a mother like Grand Bitch Grandiene, any hopes of fully embracing this trope is dashed. It's not one big happy family, unless you follow Grandiene's mindset, as in maybe "Happiness In Getting Used As Disposable Pawns"
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Played straight for most of them (Venus sacrifices her life to revive Zylpheeza when the original plan to drain Matoi's life force fails), turned upside down and inside out, crushed, chopped up, and set on fire by Grandiene, who treats her children as anything from expendable pawns to mindless puppets, playing them against one another as she sees fit.
Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Even if mama doesn't love them back. The exception was movie villain Gill, who tried to kill her the moment he was born.
Expy: Of the Bohma Tribe as a tribe of demons paralleling humanity led by an initially immobile Bad Boss who treats all their minions like garbage. Loosely.
Good Wings, Evil Wings: They have bat-like wings to denote their status as demons from the underworld who are evil and seek to conquer Earth.

Grand Witch Grandiene

Voiced by: Miho Yamada

The main antagonist and mother of the Psyma generals. Born four billion years before the events of the show she started to plot a take-over of the entire universe using her forces to gather enough Minus Energy to create a new body for her.

Abusive Parent: She treated all her children with little more than either disdain, disappointment or pragmatic hollow flattery; she has no compultions about killing them to suit her goals nor with stripping them of their free will to make a body for herself.
Action Mom: As awful a parent as she is, she is indeed the most powerful of her family
Bad Boss: Crosses with Abusive Parent since her subordinates (except Pierre, though she's not that much better towards him either) are her children.
Batman Gambit: She intentionally lets her final body be destroyed in episode 48 — the next episode, she's taken a spirit form composed entirely of negative energy, free to envelop the entire Earth...and the GoGoV can't do anything to her (at least, not directly; see below).
Big Bad: When it comes to the actions of the Psyma Family, she calls the shots and their initial goal is to bring her back to the surface.
Body Horror: Had her ceremony not been interrupted, she would’ve came back in full. Instead, she is stuck as a half-formed blob with a head and a tentacle. It takes the evil energy her children gather in their plans to restore her completely.
Broken Pedestal: Let’s just say Zylpheeza didn't take her revealing her true nature very well, especially when she deliberately gets Cobolda killed.
Corrupted Character Copy: Of Galactic Empress Meadow in being the white-skinned leader of the antagonists who initially appears before her minions as a spectral face, but is an actual Big Bad instead of a holographic Dead Person Impersonation.
Deader than Dead: The last we see of her is her ghost exploding. Doesn't get much deader than that.
Energy Being: Her apparent true form is a mass of Minus Energy, taking the advantage of the GoGoV destorying her body to spread her being across the planet before using her mindless sons as hosts to personally finish the Super Sentai team off.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Unlike her children, she averts this trope hard. To say she isn't a good mother is an understatement.
Evil Counterpart: She is one to Mondo Tatsumi. Both are parents to their respective children, but at least Mondo ultimately cares for them, something we can't say at all about Grandinne. Also Mondo's wife is known and is revealed to be alive, where we don't know anything about or hear of the father.
Evil Matriarch: Of the Psyma Family and she is the most vile of it.
Femme Fatalons: In her complete form.
The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: When her face is fully revealed in episode #24.
Freudian Excuse: Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGo Five vs. Gingaman reveals that her abusive behavior towards her children stems from the fact that her true first-born son, Darkness King Gill, tried to kill her on the instant he was born. Not that it justifies her behavior towards younger children, who are all extremely loyal to her.
Hate Sink: She can be considered one of the most detestable female main villains in Sentai. She takes Abusive Parent to the most extremes and is plain nasty to everyone in general. Not to mention her goal is to cause mass destruction to engulf the world. What's worse is that she's the first Big Bad whos Power Rangers counterpart shares her status completely, and then some.
Hoist by Her Own Petard: In the final episode, she uses the bulk of her power to possess the Destruction God forms of Zylpheeza and Salamandes so she can wipe the GoGoV and humanity out completely. This turned out to be a bad move — before this, the GoGoV had barely been able to put up a fight against them, and they couldn't do anything against her since she'd become pure negative energy. But when the Max Victory Robo Sigma Project shows up, it's fueled by all the positive energy and thoughts the GoGoFive can muster (especially when they learn their mother is alive). The result is the Destruction Gods are destroyed and her link to them causes a feedback loop that destroys Grandiene's spirit, wiping her out for good.
It's All About Me: While her sons, daughter, and butler show care towards one another, Grandinne herself believes that everyone other than her is either a disposable or controlled pawn and her only reason for doing so is out of paranoia that SHE would get betrayed (Gill did try overthrowing her, but her reaction was way beyond disproportionate). When Zylpheeza, who genuinely was loyal, finds out how selfish she really is, he was heartbroken by it.
Meaningful Name: "Grand Dame", yeah...
My Death Is Just the Beginning: Her demise in #48 causes the events of the series finale to unfold.
Nightmare Face: Though from the beginning she’s disturbing to look at, she at least had a humanoid face. But when her face is first fully revealed on a monitor in the 24th episode, her eyes widen while flashing a wicked smile. This expression is more or less more apparent in her complete physical form.
Offing the Offspring: Her main act of cruelty. She planned to do so and actually succeeds when he makes Zylpheeza kill Cobolda against his will just to have a shot at killing the GoGoV.
Omnicidal Maniac: Her motivation is pretty much a love for destruction and terror. She uses her two strongest sons as vessels to do so when she’s physically destroyed.
One-Winged Angel: Her Complete form starts from episode 47.
Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: GoGoV has its dark parts, but still pretty lighthearted and has a great family theme. Not only is Grandienne the ultimate cause of those dark moments, she is even more vile than the rest of the family with none of their redeemable qualities.
Villain Has a Point: Even though his treatment of her children is still cruel and inexcusable, she's not wrong to point out that children can betray their parents. Her first born Gil did that just moments after being born. But the other siblings faithfully served Grandienne and sought her revival, so her point only goes so far.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Following the betrayal of her firstborn, she only allowed her remaining children to live so long as they were useful to her. If she doesn’t kill them first, she would control them in ways to further her goals while stripping them of their free will.

Dark King Zylpheeza

Portrayed by: Seiji Takaiwa
Voiced by: Daiki Nakamura

The eldest siblings of the Psyma Clan, who leads it's invasion of Earth in Grandiene's absence.

Big Brother Instinct: He cares for his younger brothers and sister, to the point that in the finale he refuses to fight back against Salamandes' assaults upon learning that he really is his youngest brother, Drop.
Blow You Away: He is a wind demon with the appropriate powers to match, he can generate gusts of wind with his powers.
Cosmic Motifs: Aquarius, being one of the four constellations associated with the Grand Cross.
Curb-Stomp Battle: When he faces the GoGoV in giant form, he inflicts one of the worst beatdowns on a sentai mecha that didn't involve totaling it, blasting a hole in the GrandLiner.
Death of Personality: After Grandine resurrects him to aid the revived Salamandes and then again as a Destroyer.
Disc-One Final Boss: He dies halfway through the show, but his position is given to Salamandes later on and doesn't come back from the dead until near the end of it.
Dragon-in-Chief: At the start of the series he is the main antagonistic force that fights the GoGoV as Grandiene is stuck in a spirit form that impedes her from doing anything. He loses this position after his death, being supplanted by Drop when the baby is forcefully grown into Salamandes. Even when he is resurrected in the last arc, Grandiene's back in her physical form leaving him solely as The Dragon.
Even Evil Has Standards: He is quite clearly appalled by his mother's callousness regarding her own children and the fact that she is willing to defeat her enemies by sacrificing Cobolda and ordering him to shoot the cannon at all of them anyway. Him being literally forced to do it causes him to side against her and reveal her location to Matoi.
Evil Counterpart: Zylpheeza is this to Matoi and Nagare as he takes after the former in being the leader who looks out for his younger siblings, with Nagare's role in being both second in command and as second born child.
Meaningful Name: "Sylph" means an imaginary spirit of the air, which fits him as Zylpheela is a Wind Demon.
Pet the Dog: He reveals his mother's location to Matoi so he can save his siblings and genuinely compliments him for having a strong family bond after realizing her true nature.
Virtuous Character Copy: Of Count Radiguet in spearheading the attack on Earth, but is a Noble Demon who cares for his comrades and ends up the one being betrayed.
Would Hurt a Child: He once was close to trying to kill his baby younger brother Drop so that he could not be replaced by him. Pierre shows up before he could do so.

Beast Baron Cobolda

Portrayed by: Hirofumi Fukuzawa
Voiced by: Kenji Nomura

The second-youngest son of Grandiene and leader of earth demons. Physically the strongest, but lacks tactic in battle.

Alas, Poor Villain: Being used as cannon fodder and killed by his own mother is definitely a sad moment, with both Zylpheeza and the rangers upset at this. It's even worse is that Cobolda uses his final moments to admit being jealous of Zylpheeza for being chosen as the Dark King, but acknowledges his older brother as worthy of it.
The Brute: He is the least tactical of the siblings, preferring to use pure strength against his foes.
Cosmic Motifs: Taurus the bull, being one of the four constellations associated with the Grand Cross. Also played in being a horned demon.
Dishing Out Dirt: He is the master of all earth demons and while he rarely uses his elemental powers, his monsters are ground-themed.
Evil Counterpart: Cobolda is this to Shou as both are the middle child, but is a brute compared to Shou.
Our Kobolds Are Different: Besides sharing a name with the mythological fairy creature, he's the leader of the Earth Demons.

Evil Spirit Princess Denus

Portrayed by: Kaya Hirasawa

The only daughter of Grandiene and mistress of water demons. A cunning master of disguise, Denus values her older brothers over anything.

Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: We see human-like hair on her and it's most certainly this.
Animal Eye Spy: She uses a snake-like barrette to see through the eyes of her snakes familiar.
Chainmail Bikini: Not as bad as Shelinda but armor that doesn't cover your torso is hardly ideal for combat.
Combat Stilettos
Cosmic Motifs: Scorpio, being one of the four constellations associated with the Grand Cross.
Evil Counterpart: Denus is this to Matsuri as both are the only female members in their respective set of siblings.
Excessive Evil Eyeshadow
Expy: There are several evidences that pointed that she's an expy of Bouma Princess Jarmin, but Denus has gotten much better reception than her, due to having more roles and characterization.
Femme Fatale: Exploit this tactic several times against the GoGoV.
Image Song: Denus Syndrome
Master of Disguise: She's very good at disguising herself as other people.
Making a Splash
Meaningful Name: "Undine" and "Venus".
Water Is Womanly: Mistress of water demons with water powers and a Femme Fatale. Her name comes from the water elemental "Undine" and goddess of love "Venus".

Infant Demon Drop/Dragon Prince Salamandes

Portrayed by: Seiji Takaiwa
Voiced by: Yuko Miyamura^note (Drop), Hikaru Midorikawa (Salamandes)

Grandiene's youngest son, who's initially a baby. After Zylpheeza is destroyed by GoGoFive, his powers are transferred into the baby, growing him into Salamandes and making him Grandiene's new second-in-command.

The Baby of the Bunch: As the youngest of Grandiene's children, especially in the show's first half where he's a literal baby. With that said, when he grows up he becomes The Dragon.
Berserk Button: As a baby, he loathed to be called cute. As an adult, he hates being called "Little Prince"
Big Little Brother: He towered over both Kobold and Denus.
Cosmic Motifs: Leo the Lion, being one of the four constellations associated with the Grand Cross.
Death of Personality: After Grandine ressurects him as a Destroyer.
Dragon-in-Chief: Literally and figuratively. Especially due to Grandienne being immoblized due to a faulty summoning.
Enfant Terrible: Quite evil even as a baby, and extremely powerful too, as he beats the crap out of 4 of the 5 GoGoV in episode 14 after they first met him.
Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Even though said mama doesn't love him back. While he almost becomes hateful of Grandiene for backstabbing him, he snaps back into his old behavior once she brings him back from the death.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He genuinely cares for Chaos, the guardian of Psyma Hell, helping escort him out of Psyma Hell once he himself breaks free and is genuinely upset when Chaos dies sacrificing himself to protect him from the GoGoV.
Evil Counterpart: He is this to Daimon as the youngest male in the family.
Expy: Of Tranza with elements of Semimaru in starting off a newborn like the latter before being force-grown into an adult commander like the former.
Faux Affably Evil: He acts polite yet condensending to his siblings and opponents but shows his true colors once losing his composure.
From Nobody to Nightmare: Drop starts out as a demon baby who rarely participates in fighting the GoGoV directly, but inherited the Dark King Star and transforms into an adult for that curbstomps the GoGoV. The only reason he can't finish them off is because he wasn't fully used to his new body.
Meaningful Name: His name as an adult is derived from "Salamander/s" indicating his status as a demon of the fire tribe
One-Winged Angel: Twice. First, he consumes Psyma Beast spirits to escape Psyma Hell and transforms into a Draconic Abomination. The second time, he is forcibly transformed into a giant dragon by his monster.
Pet the Dog: When Salamandes escapes from Psyma Hell, he takes Chaos with him rather than abandoning him.
Playing with Fire: He has fire powers along with the dragon theme
Plot-Relevant Age-Up: He ages from infant Drop to adult Salamandes when he inherited the Dark King Star.
Pokémon Speak: As a baby his only words are an oddly menacing "Doroppu..."
Sibling Rivalry: He basically shows as much love to his siblings as his mother does, that is none, viewing Zylpheeza as an emotional nuisance and his other two siblings, Denus and Cobolda, as rivals to his position who he never gets along with.
Scaled Up: Becomes a dragon in the series finale.
Undying Loyalty: He is completely devoted to his mother. He almost turns against her when she traps him in Psyma Hell and after he emerges powered-up with his boast of being more powerful than Grandiene, but upon being revived he gets over it.
Unwitting Pawn: Unlike Zylpheeza, he never realizes that his mother sees him just as expendable as his siblings. He almost briefly realizes this after being trapped in Hell, to the point of gloating that he's stronger than Grandiene once he breaks free in his new form, but after resurrecting gets over it and goes back to being a pawn until his final death.
You Have Failed Me: He's the first Psyma family member used to show how little Grandiene cares for her kids when he loses the Infinity Chain Card. He tries to win back her favor by getting the GoGoV into Psyma Hell, but Grandiene destroys the key when he attempts to escape the Psyma Beast spirits to trap them all.

Spell-Master Pierre

Portrayed by: Takeshi Miyazaki
Voiced by: Taiki Matsuno

The butler of the Psyma Family, who creates and enlarges Psyma Beasts using cards.

Came Back Wrong: Much like Okelampa, when he resurrects a monster as a giant it'll just be a snarling, rampaging beast. Justified as the usual method intensifies a Saima's destructive nature. May also be a Genre Throwback since this was the case with just about every monster enlarging prior to Zyuranger.
Even Evil Has Standards: While this doesn't keep him from siding with Grandienne, her telling him she wants to sacrifice Cobolda does disturb him a bit.
Evil Counterpart: He's this to Mint, as both assist a group of siblings (The Psyma Clan and the GoGoFive Respectively) but are not blood-related to them.
Evil Genius: He's the one who creates the monsters and their plans, in addition to enlarging them.
Karma Houdini Warranty: He survives the series, but returns and gets killed in the crossover with Timeranger.
Make My Monster Grow: The one who does this in the series, which he does by enchanting a spell and having growth cards attached to them.
Undying Loyalty: He serves the siblings and their mother faithfully. He is mostly to this to Salamandes, whom he looked after when he was the baby Drop, and continued to aid him afterwards. He stays loyal to Grandienne as well, even though she shows just as little care for him as she does her kids (which is zero).

Darkness King Gill

Portrayed by: Fumiya Touei
Voiced by: Ryūzaburō Ōtomo

Grandien's original first-born child. He tried to kill his mother immediately after his birth, and she promptly tossed him right into Hell's depths. He survived and became Hell's ruler, but sought to escape his prison to get his revenge on his mother and conquer Earth with the Infernal Dark Beast.

Big Bad: He was the main villain of Kyuu Kyuu Sentai Go Go Five Vs Gingaman.
Defeat Equals Explosion: He exploded after he stabbed himself to summon the Infernal Dark Hell Beast.
The Dreaded: Grandiene was very wary of what Gill could do if he succeeded, Pierre outright considers him a "terrible guy" and the rest of the Psyma siblings, except for Salamandes, are also cautious when they learn of his backstory and intents even fearing he might go after their mother and kill her successfully when given the chance.
Enfant Terrible: Tried to murder his mother, Grandiene, the second he was born. He failed and she threw him in the depths of Hell for it.
Evil Counterpart: Gil is this to Matoi as both are the first born in their respective families, but Matoi values his family while Gil does not as he tried to kill his mother in his first moments of life and refused to accept his younger siblings as family.
Eviler than Thou: Intended to pull this on Grandiene by trying to murder her the second he was born, she retaliated accordingly.
Hoist by His Own Petard: Only targeted the Gingaman because their Earth Power was the only thing that could harm him despite them having no idea about that weakness or that he existed in the first place. If he'd had the good sense to simply not bother them, he would've only had to face the GoGoV and likely would've won.
Humans Are Insects: He considers humans so worthless and puny that the only "use" they have in his mind is being sacrifices for his plan.
Omnicidal Maniac: After his plans are nearly thwarted he stabs himself and unleashes the Dark Beast so it destroys Earth out of spite for being defeated.
Outside-Context Problem: To the Gingaman, who had no idea he even existed despite their powers being capable of thwarting and harming him and has no connections whatsoever to the Space Pirates Balban.
Self-Made Orphan: Almost became this with his attempt to murder Grandiene upon being born.
Spiteful Suicide: To ensure the Dark Beasts's awakening, he stabs himself after being wounded by Matori, to ensure his remaining Psyma blood can be used to awaken the monster so it can destroy Earth out of spite.
The Starscream: It's what he tried to do immediately after being born. Not that it worked.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Downplayed. His betrayal didn't set up Grandiene's lack of care for her own children so much as reinforced it to bigger levels by making her outright paranoid of her children turning on her like he did.
Would Hurt a Child: To him all humans are equally expendable creatures, regardless of age or gender. So children are not safe from falling victim to his plans.
