The Gingamen
In General
- Contrasting Sequel Protagonist: Last season, the Megarangers were high schoolers who were recruited by someone in a tech company to fight an army of dimensional warriors. Here, the Gingamen are a team of young adults chosen to fight the Balban based on their tribe's history. While the Megarangers powers are products of technology, the Gingamen use nature and magic to become Sentai warriors.
- Golden Super Mode: Midway into the season, the Gingamen acquire the Lights of Ginga and gained access to the Beast Armor Shine: a power-up mode that gives them more power, enhanced weaponry, and a power-up for Gingaoh. The only downside though is that all the Gingamen must be present to access the form due to the Lights dividing itself equally amongst the five.
- Legacy Character: It's stated from the beginning that the Gingamen have been around for three thousand years, and the tribe has honored the original warriors by having successors every so often. The team of Gingamen we follow is the 133rd Generation.

- To be fair, he used his powers once to stop a pair of high schoolers from abusing horses and again to help a struggling street magician earn more money. The magician gave Hikaru some money, and he used it to buy donuts for the rest of the team. So, he's not that greedy.
- Groin Attack: At one point, when fighting the Yartots, he pulls one of them into a tree, hitting him in the crotch.

- Signature Move
- Earth Elemental attack: Hanabira no Tsumenote
- Starbeast Sword attack: Hana Isshinnote
- The Smurfette Principle: She is the only female member of the Gingamen.
- The Straight and Arrow Path: Her Kiba Blade's default mode is the Kiba Arrow.
- Sugar-and-Ice Girl: Saya pretty much had the right to cry on Hyūga's 'death', but she kept a strong face (without going over to violence) throughout the series and refused to cry. But when Hyūga came back... she cries freely.
- Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Saya is a sweet girl who likes to bake and enjoys being a feminine idol... all while putting men who pissed her off in a headlock and a bonafide Action Girl.
Hyūga/Black Knight II
Hyūga/Black Knight II | Actor: Teruaki Ogawa
"Black Strike!"
Ryouma's older brother and the one originally meant to be the next GingaRed, unfortunately he fell into a fissure made by Captain Zahab before he could transform, passing the mantle to his younger brother before his seeming death. However he later turns up alive and merged with Bull Black, then becomes the new Black Knight supporting his younger brother and the other Gingamen in their quest to stop the Balban.- Black Knight: A literal example, though unlike Bull Black he doesn't plays any anti-heroic tropes himself, except during his brief time as Bucrates' student.
- Cool Sword: His Bull Riot's standard mode is a sword, whether it is during the time he was set to be GingaRed or after he became the Black Knight.
- Dark Is Not Evil: His Black Knight form looks intimidating and is colored pitch black, yet Hyuuga is unambiguously and fully good unlike BullBlack who was more of a Knight Templar.
- Playing with Fire: As he was meant to be Ginga Red instead of Ryouma at the start of the series, his Earth Power revolves around fire.
- Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: Thought to have died in the first episode after falling into a fissure, it was later revealed that Hyūga survived his fall thanks to Bull Black merging with him to escape from the pit.
- Signature Move: Kuro no Ichigekinote
- Sixth Ranger: Joined the team long after it had already gotten five members, and after his base Bull Black, had already died. Though Sentai supplementary material treats him as an Extra Hero.
- Swiss-Army Weapon: Bull Riot is his sword which is also his Transformation Trinket, and it also can become a gun if the sword is kept in its sheathe and adjusted.

He ends up turning back into a seed, which, at the end of the final episode, is replanted in the Ginga Forest, allowing him to quickly return to life.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Episode 48 sees him absorb the Earth Beast's poisonous effects to give the Gingaman a better chance to defeat Mizziles and foil his plan to enlarge the beast, at the cost of his life. Yuuta later reveals the tree reverted back into a seed.
- Meaningful Name: His name is based on the Japanese word for wood, "moku". Fittingly, he's a tree and trees are lined with wood which line the trees' stems and branches.

Space Pirates Balban
In General
A group of alien pirates who travel the cosmos to plunder and destroy worlds in their way. Commanding the fearsome Demon Beast Daitanix, they were sealed away 3000 years prior but rose back up after the seal was undone, though seeking to revive Daitanix who wasn't fully awakened.
- Aliens Are Bastards: Alien pirates who rejoice in blowing up worlds and killing innocents by the millions.
- Contrasting Sequel Antagonist:
- The Black Cross Army utilize one of their four commanders at a time, but the Black Cross are a Earth-based terrorist organization while the Barban are space pirates.
- The Galactic Imperial Army Zone are an alien army that destroys worlds but are unaware that their base is a living creature seeking immortality, while the Balban are space pirates who plunder and destroy worlds and are fully aware that their base is a living creature they use to extend their lives. Both living ships are Kaiju who have rare flowers as a Kryptonite Factor.
- Evil Will Fail: Their deadliest flaw is their utter lack of cooperative thinking or foresight, leading to several failures due to members screwing over each other.
- Rape, Pillage, and Burn: Minus the first part it's what they do best: assault planets by destroying and plundering all who stand in their way then destroying them with Daitanix who devours them.
- Space Pirates: They fit thematically and in actions the part, destroying and plundering anything that gets in their way and having certain codes they attempt to stick to as outlaws.
Leadership
Captain Zahab
Captain Zahab | Actors: Jiro Okamoto (suit), Hidekatsu Shibata (voice)
"Luck has finally come to us"
The Captain of the Space Pirates Balban, he is a ruthless space pirate with ambitions to awaken Daitanix and use its power to create precious jewels and plunder the universe of every treasure he can get his hands on.- Achilles' Heel: The Planet's Life that is embedded in his chest is both the key to his immortality and a weak spot that, if destroyed, can severely weaken him. Once Hyuuga and Ryouma destroy it, it leaves him open for the Gingaman to attack him and defeat him once and for all.
- Big Bad: He leads the Balban gang in trying to conquer Earth.
- Benevolent Boss: Although he tries to be a Bad Boss who hardly cared for any of his crews except Shelinda, he does care about his crewmates to the point where he mourns each and every loss and generally treats them fairly if they don't act treacherous or perform badly.
- Eyepatch of Power: He wears an eyepatch as part of his uniform.
- Final Boss: After his crewmates are killed, he becomes the last enemy the Gingamen have to defeat.
- Hidden Depths:
- Despite his Bad Boss attitude, he secretly mourns over the deaths of his fellow crewmates.
- While it looked like he fell for Iliess' plan to frame Budoh, he actually knew the whole time, showing he's very good at manipulating plots against him and his loyal comrades in order to turn the tables on real traitors.
- Hidden Heart of Gold: He pretends to be an arrogant captain who doesn't care about his crew. In private, he grieves for each loss.
- Hook Hand: He has an artificial left hook after losing his left hand 3,000 years ago courtesy of the first GingaRed, which also serves as his Red Right Hand.
- Kick The Son Of A Bitch: Had Battobas use Iliess' soul to save Daitanix before kicking Bucrates out of the castle for his involvement in her frame-up on Budoh.
- Pragmatic Villainy: Is fully aware that Iliess and Bucrates set up Budoh for a fall, but lets them think they succeeded until they outlive their usefulness in resurrecting Daitanix.
- Red Right Hand: The battle with the first GingaRed ended with him losing his left hand caused him to replace his lost limb with a hook that can also become a cannon.
- Villainous Breakdown: Zahab snaps mentally and emotionally when all of his crewmates, specifically Shelinda, are killed, going on an angry warpath against the Gingamen shortly afterward.
- Would Hurt a Child: He's willing to kill Yuuta, a young child, by aiming a cannon at him. He also killed BullBlack's little brother, Krantz many years ago.
Captain Gregory
Captain Gregory | Voice: Seizō Katō
"Behold my power!"
An old friend of Zahab, Gregory arrives months after the Balban are defeated to avenge the group against the Gingaman, along the way he teams with the last member of Nezirezia, Hizumina.- Avenging the Villain: Seeks to avenge the Balban's deaths at the Gingaman's hands.
- The Dreaded: Mokk recognizes the captain upon his arrival to Earth and states that he's got a fearsome reputation on par with the entirety of the other Balban members.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Like the rest of Balban he was sealed away, though in his case he was sealed far away from Earth and separately from the other Balban members.
- Sizeshifter: He can enlarge himself without the need for Balban Extract unlike the rest of Balban.
- Villainous Breakdown: Loses it after the Balban are killed again and his castle is destroyed, being reduced to a mostly-screaming madman before he is finished off by Galaxy Mega and Super Armor Shine Gingaioh.
- Villainous Friendship: A strong and long-lasting one with Captain Zahab, who even refers to him as his honorary brother upon resurrecting.
Crewmates
Steerwoman Shelinda
Steerwoman Shelinda | Actor: Kei Mizutani
"Stop it Sambash! What would you do if the steering wheel broke?"
The steerwoman of Daitanix and Balban's subleader.- Animal Motif: Shellfish.
- The Baroness: While not her main forte, she won't hesitate to use her good looks to her advantage such as seducing others.
- Bare-Handed Blade Block: She can easily stop swords with her hand alone, such as when she stopped Hayate's slash with just a simple catch. That said, she is wearing gloves.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: Became determined to fight Hayate due to him always ignoring her, making her feel insulted. After using a duplicate of Hayate's fiancee, she finally managed to get his attention. Their fated battle results in her fiery demise.
- Blood Knight: She lives for fighting and destruction, her rivalry with GingaGreen is driven by a desire to best him in swordfighting and she won't be done with it until either he or she dies.
- Chainmail Bikini: Literally. There seems to be a justification that she specialized in fast and continuous attack so the lighter/fewer the armor the better. Still don't explain the high heels though.
- Combat Stiletto: Her stilettos aren't just for show, she can use them to kick her opponents' asses as much as her sword can. Ask GingaGreen for that.
- Dark Action Girl: She's a villainous general who take pride in being a swordswoman, living for fighting and destruction, or trying to get Hayate to genuinely engage her in combat.
- Defeat Equals Explosion: She exploded after her rival GingaGreen defeated her for good. One of the rare instances in Super Sentai where a humanoid character, let alone a female one, went kaboom.
- Defiant to the End: Even after getting fatally slashed by GingaGreen, she still tried to kill him and claiming that she is still capable of fighting.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: She genuinely loved Budoh even if she acted cold towards him, and was distraught when it seemed like he was a traitor to Balban, even sounding tearful as she locked him up. In return, long after learning the truth she personally attempts to kill Bucrates after she finds him following him getting kicked out of Balban, clearly wanting to get payback for Budoh's unnecessary death and only gets stopped by Hyuuga saving Bucrates at the last minute.
- Expy:
- Arguably, Queen Ahames in terms of appearance, as both are white-haired woman with attractive designs and who specialize in swordfigthing.
- Also Igam in her obsession to kill a male member of a Super Sentai team due to viewing them as their rivals. However, while Igam redeemed herself to aid the Maskmen in destroying Zeba and became a devoted Buddhist nun as part of her journey, Shelinda remained evil to the end and died at Hayate's hand in their last duel.
- Fragile Speedster: She's fast and skilled, but Hayate ultimately does her in with one charged slash.
- It's Personal: Developed an intense vendetta towards Hayate after he scarred her arms.
- Leitmotif: "The Name is Shelinda".
- Manipulative Bitch: Created a duplicate of Miharu from Hayate's talisman to make a complex plot to make him suffer for not recognizing her as an opponent.
- Meaningful Name: Sheru (Shell) and Darin (Helmsman). The "Linda" part is also thought to be from a famous Japanese Singer "Linda Yamamoto". Just listen to her Image Song and you will know why.
- Scars Are Forever: Her arm scar (from Hayate slashing at her in Episode 10) does eventually heal but her breast scar (which Hayate inflicted on her for seemingly killing Yuuta) doesn't.
- Seashell Bra: While not the exact, it's as good as one in term of design, having shell motifs all over it. It got permanently damaged after Hayate slashed her breast.
- Stripperiffic: Probably the best example in the franchise entire history, given she wears an actual Chainmail Bikini that bares her midriff and gives us the occasional Panty Shot.
- The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: She occasionally heads to the field to kill Hayate before he is killed by whatever her Balban comrades infected him with. The fact that she has a vendetta against him also makes defeating Hayate all by herself her top priority.
- Unknown Rival: Hayate usually ignores her attempts to goad him to fight with him, pissing her off to no end. After her act of using a clone of Miharu, Hayate finally reciprocates and then fights her for real... and then the battle got interrupted. In the penultimate episode, they have one last battle, where she finally met her explosive end via his Hurricane Gust slash despite getting the last hit in for some sense of closure.
- Would Hurt a Child: Almost killed Yuuta for attempting to help a wounded Hayate and getting in her way.
Barreled Scholar Bucrates
Barreled Scholar Bucrates | Actors: Kenjiro Fujita (suit), Chafurin (voice)
"Who will grant you wisdom if I die?"
The Balban's wisdom supplier and Zahab's mentor who taught him a lot of important secrets. Bucrates is a goblin-like creature who can shapeshift into a barrel to hide, he is also Illiess' uncle. A series of events leads to him switching sides to get revenge on Zahab.- Benevolent Boss: He treats Hyuuga as a true friend when he becomes his mentor.
- Death by Irony: His first lines of dialogue were berating Shelinda for poking him with her sword to wake him up, ranting about how the Balban would lose their source of wisdom if he died; Shelinda mortally wounds him near the finale by stabbing him, long after he'd been kicked out of Balban.
- Determinator: He does everything he can to exact revenge on Zahab. To the point where he pulls himself out of the bottom of the ocean, removing the chains holding him, he captures GouTaurus as a hostage to get Hyuuga under his tutelage by force, has Hyuuga remove his Earth Power and train him with the Knight Axe to exploit Zahab's weakness, and even being fatally stabbed by Shelinda doesn't deters him as he uses his last moments to commit suicide to take out the Yartots hunting him down, just so Hyuuga can rejoin his friends and kill Zahab.
- Dying Moment of Awesome: He flees with Hyuuga when he gets fatally stabbed by Shelinda, keeping himself alive just so he can ensure Hyuuga is safe. Then, he asks Hyuuga to escape and rejoin his friends, even showing him a bomb so Hyuuga won't try to stay and save him. When the Yartots find him, Bucrates pulls out the bomb just in time to blow himself and the Yartots up.
- Evil Is Petty: His main reason for helping Illiess' plot to frame Budoh is due to him being angry at Budoh rejecting his wisdom unlike Sambash.
- Evil Old Folks: An old man who's helped the Balban in their many plots and evil actions.
- Heel–Face Door-Slam: Out of hatred, he helps Hyuuga kill Zahab, but dies at the Yartots' hands before he can do so.
- Insufferable Genius: Not initially that bad about it, but he lets his role as the Balban's wisest member get up to his head, culminating in plotting against Budoh solely because he dared to reject his wisdom instead of listening to him.
- It's Personal: After Zahab forces him out of Balban, Bucrates decides to exact revenge on Zahab.
- Karmic Death: Slight case. Shelinda, who was personally afflicted by what Bucrates and Illiess did to Budoh, gets to fatally stab him near the finale, while Bucrates only dies for good when he blows himself up to cover for Hyuuga's escape, it was clear from his attitude that he knew he was dying anyways even if he had made it out from the attack.
- Made of Iron: He survived getting drowned by Zahab after his attempts to usurp him are exposed.
- Mentor Archetype: He served as Zahab's mentor and is the one who revived him. Later, he becomes Hyuuga's mentor after Zahab sends him into the water for trying to backstab him.
- Mentor Occupational Hazard: After training Hyuuga, he decides to sacrifice himself when he's discovered by the Yartots and Shelinda.
- Nepotism: Freely admits to having wanted to elevate Illiess to the acting commander position from the start when Budoh starts coming close to finding the Lights of Ginga and willingly sabotages his own side's efforts just so she would become it.
- No Historical Figures Were Harmed: Part of his name comes from the Greek philosopher Socrates.
- Portmanteau: His name combines Book (Bu-) and Socrates (-crates) along with the word "crates", indicating his status as a barrel-like old scholar who holds invaluable wisdom.
- Redemption Equals Death: After getting kicked out of Balban and initially treating Hyuuga as a pawn, Bucrates gives Hyuuga the knowledge to kill Zahab and genuinely comes to see his once-enemy as a friend. Before he can fully turn good, however, he sacrifices himself to cover for him as he gets fatally wounded by Shelinda and figures he's screwed no matter what.
- The Resenter: Once Iliess is killed and he gets thrown into the waters, he develops an intense resentment towards Zahab.
- Revenge Myopia: While he wants revenge on Zahab, he forgets that Zahab only did so for his role in Iliess's betrayal and framing of Budoh for her crimes which in turn led to the Gingamen acquiring the Lights of Ginga all due to his own ego.
- Self-Sacrifice Scheme: At the end of Gingaman, when he gets stabbed by Shelinda, the only way out for him is to have Hyuuga escape, knowing full well that Zahab will kill him for his treachery. He even blows himself up when the Yartots discover him.
- Spanner in the Works: Bucrates is the one who helps the Gingamen royally screw Zahab over. By framing Budoh along with Iliess, he alienates his pupil against him and causes him to throw him off the ship in addition to causing the Gingamen to claim the Lights of Ginga. And by the time he dies, he already trained Hyuuga in properly wielding the Knight Axe and exploiting Zahab's weakness and while the Axe just barely fails to kill Zahab, the knowledge proves crucial in Zahab's ultimate defeat.
- The Starscream: He aids Iliess against Zahab while also framing Budoh to help her move up in the command chain and earn Zahab's favor for their own ends. Unfortunately for them, he actually saw right through it.
- Taking You with Me: He uses one of his bombs to blow himself up along with the Yartots sent to kill him when he's discovered and after being mortally wounded by Shelinda.
Dark Merchant Biznella
Dark Merchant Biznella | Actors: Hirofumi Fukuzawa (suit), Kaneto Shiozawa (voice)
- Ambiguous Robots: Looks totally robotic, but when he gets mutated, his body looks decidedly organic.
- Arch-Enemy: Established a rivalry with Hikaru when they first meet in his debut episode, which makes it fitting that Hikaru was a driving factor to his death.
- The Dragon: To Battobas.
- Et Tu, Brute?: Battobas is forced to backstab Biznella, saying "no hard feelings" to him.
- Evil Makes You Ugly: Not that Biznella isn't a bad guy already, but he becomes much more hideous after Ginga Yellow threw him into the Extreme Growth Extract.
- Faux Affably Evil: Acts and sounds formal and suave even when being antagonistic to the Gingaman but when things go south for him, he seethes in anger towards them.
- Karmic Death: Was the one responsible for the mechanization of the lost Starbeasts. In return, the Steel Starbeasts help out on defeating the enlarged Biznella.
- Killed Off for Real: In episode 47, after being mutated and forcibly enlarged, at the hands of Super Armor Shine GingaiOh and the Steel Starbeasts.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Episode 40 had him forcefully enlarge Degius with a Balban Extract-filled dart against his will for the sake of resurrecting Daitanix and covering for his escape; Episode 47 would have him (reluctantly) backstabbed by Battobas who forcefully enlarges him the exact same way and leaves him to die at the Gingaman's hands so as to escape and continue scheming to enlarge the Earth Demon Beast.
- Undying Loyalty: Has made transactions with Zahab and Battobas in the past and is just as loyal to the captain as all his other generals are, even when Zahab took his ship and later made him perform his own scheme.
- Villainous Breakdown: The very moment he got mutated, courtesy of Hikaru, he officially lost it upon being defeated and enlarged, all culminating in his death.
- Villainous Friendship: Has known Battobas for a very long time and became very touched with reuinting with him that he forgot to formally address himself to Zahab first and when Zahab confiscated most of his stuff as restitution for the Steel Starbeasts broken free from his control, Battobas offered to look after Biznella. Which makes Biznella very upset when Battobas reluctantly enlarged him after being defeated in his mutated state.
Seamen Yartots
Seamen Yartots

Gun Boss Sambash | Actors: Naoki Ofuji (suit), Nobuyuki Hiyama (voice)
"How boring!"
The first Balban general to be sent out to fight the Gingaman, he is a reckless, rude and cruel delinquent-themed villain whose monsters are a mixture of delinquents and bugs.- Actor Allusion: This is the thrid time Nobuyki Hiyama voiced a motorcycle-riding antagonist who sprinkles 'baby' into his sentences.
- All Bikers are Hells Angels: Modeled after a gun-toting biker gang leader.
- All for Nothing: His attempts to get the Lights of Ginga were always for naught, as the box that supposedly contained them was empty all along. He goes insane from the realization.
- Animal Motifs: His Majins are themed after insects and he has subtle insect-like traits.
- Badass Biker: Follows the image to a T.
- Big Creepy-Crawlies: The members of his Majin Gang are all insectoid creatures with a biker gang motif.
- Boisterous Weakling: For all his rowdy, Hot-Blooded nature, he is physically the weakest of the four Balban generals. And the only one the Gingaman manage to defeat without the Lights of Ginga.
- Decomposite Character: In Lost Galaxy, his role as the first villainous commander and having a bad temper was given to Furio, an original character (
using the costume of Dr. Hinelar's final form); the Sambash costume showed up later in the season as Villamax, a much different character. This was apparently because the Sambash costume was unavailable at the time. - Foil: Pretty much the polar opposite of his successor Budoh. Sambash is a trigger-happy, "shoot first, ask questions never" hooligan in charge of a bunch of rowdy, thuggish monsters, whereas Budoh is a loyal and honorable samurai and his Majins similarly acted in a disciplined and dignified manner.
- Hate Sink: He makes Iliess look like a Noble Demon in comparison.
- Hot-Blooded: Ready to tackle anything that gets in his way and will never back off of any challenge.
- Pushy Gun-Toting Villain: He is a notable example, being a trigger-happy gun-wielding general who is at odds with his commrades for his trigger-happy and reckless attitude. He is defined by loving to kill others for fun and is quick to resort to using his guns with lethal intent when angered. Furthermore he's also selfish, cowardly and dishonorable in stark contrast to the other villains of the show, going as far as plotting against his fellow villains when he encounters a chest that may contain the Lights of the Galaxy which he believes would make him invincible (and while the latter part also applies to Illies, she at least has some care for her family).
- The Starscream: He constantly disobeys Zahab's commands to do his own thing, even if he won't try to take out Zahab directly. He even hides the box containing the Light of the Galaxy to use them for himself and even hides his secret that he actually killed the protector from Zahab.
- Taking You with Me: After finding out that the box containing the Lights of Ginga is actually empty, he attempts to kill Ginga Red with his bike. It doesn't work.
- Villainous Breakdown: Upon discovering the box containing the Lights of Ginga is empty, he completely flips his lid and attempts to kill Ginga Red with his bike.
Samurai General Budoh
Samurai General Budoh | Actors: Hirofumi Fukuzawa (suit), Kazuo Hayashi (voice)
"Ridiculous. Delight should be savored alone."
The second Balban general, a swordfighter with a code of honor and respect for his side. Budoh succeeds Sambash as the active threat to the Gingaman after his defeat. He eventually winds up involved in a treacherous plot of Iliess.- Alas, Poor Villain: His final episode frames him in a surprisingly sympathetic light as it shows him being desperate to prove his innocence and so broken by the events that he almost commits sepukku before relenting and for most of said episode, the focus is on him and his quest to prove his innocence.
- Animal Motifs: Like most of Zahab's higher-level minions, Budoh has an aquatic animal motif. In this case, a manta ray.
- Benevolent Boss: He mournfully thanks his Majins for their services whenever one falls in battle.
- Clear My Name: He dedicated the last moments of his life to show that he's no traitor. It seemed to have failed, but Zahab actually had already found out that he's not guilty at all and made sure to avenge Budoh once Illiess outlived her purpose.
- A Day in the Limelight: Episode 24 puts a lot of focus on him as he tries to prove his innocence and recover the Lights of Ginga, to the point where he is the title character of the episode ("Budoh's Tenacity").
- Foil: Pretty much the polar opposite of his predecessor Sambash. Budoh is a loyal and honorable samurai and his Majins similarly acted in a disciplined and dignified manner whereas Sambash is a trigger-happy, "shoot first, ask questions never" hooligan in charge of a bunch of rowdy, thuggish monsters.
- Near-Villain Victory: His servant, Dotoumusha, had actually gotten the Lights of Ginga and would've had them delivered to Budoh for Daitanix's resurrection as soon as he could if it wasn't for Illiess' scheming.
- Named Weapons: His sword is called "Girasame".
- Noble Demon: While he's certainly antagonistic for the Gingamen and plans to revive Daitanix, Budoh is a man of honor, loyalty and usually plays fair against the Gingamen.
- Villainous Breakdown: Defied. Medoumedou reveals to him that he can't prove his innocence thanks to Illiess, Budoh takes that as a sign that all he has left is to die in a honorable battle rather than return to Balban and be executed for crimes he didn't commit but can't prove he is innocent of, however rather than lose his cool he just laughs off Medoumedou's words before killing her squadron and then Medoumedou herself before his duel to the death with Ginga Red.
- Warrior Poet: He usually finishes his plan exposition with a Haiku, and he has a sword that cuts through metal.
Spectral Empress Iliess
Spectral Empress Iliess | Actors: Shoji Hachisuka (suit), Gara Takashima (voice)
"Way to spoil our revival."
The Balban's magician, a powerful and sneaky figure who plots from afar and uses magic to strengthen her forces. She eventually starts plotting against Budoh to remove a competitor for the top spot of Balban's command.- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: While the deaths of both her daughters don't seem to affect her at all, she does show sadness at her brother Despias' death.
- Evil Matriarch: She is the mother of MedouMedou and MerudaMeruda.
- Evil Sorceress: The Balban pirates' magic specialist who opted for the use of spells and ritual to accomplish her goals.
- Foil: To her eventual successor Battobas. Iliess never hide the fact her loyalty to Zahab only extended as much as he was willing to pay her for her services. Battobas was effectively described as Zahab's "right hand arm" and was by far the most loyal of all the captain's generals. Ilies's monsters were mythological-themed magic users like her. Battobas' monsters were all weaponry/machinery themed robots.
- Greed: Requests monetary award from Zahab every time her plans were about to succeed only to fail because of the Gingamen. Zahab eventually get bored with this and reduces her award by one for each day that her plan fails and planned to get rid of her even her plan succeeded.
- Hate Sink: Compared to the rest of Balban, sans Sambash (who's arguably even crueler towards his own teammates than she is), she comes across as one of the least likeable members, being willing to double-cross and betray her own side for her own gain in extremely unnecessary ways in addition to being quite remarkably cruel herself to her own family besides Desphias and somewhat Bucrates.
- Immortality Immorality: Stated that even if she is to be destroyed she can never die. That is, if her Resurrection Ceremony isn't interrupted.
- Laser-Guided Karma: All her treachery did was backfire on her and her teammates, badly.
- Her frame-up of Budoh as a traitor who tried to take the Lights for himself led to the Gingamen claiming the lights, and actually made Balban lose them since if she hadn't acted, Budoh would've had delivered without issue to the Balban.
- Her promotion to general thanks to Budoh's framing and Bucrates' nepotism leads to her gradually losing favor and pay from Zahab, and unlike Budoh she has little in the way of a planned-out endgame to revive Daitanix, causing her to eventually end up in a much worse spot than her predecessor. And Bucrates pays an even bigger price for it.
- Meaningless Villain Victory: She succeeds in framing Budoh as a traitor and getting him ousted from Balban to become the next acting commander; afterwards she fails to make any progress on Daitanix and the only real use Zahab finds for her is using her gems' shards to slow down Daitanix's rot after she'd been inevitably killed by the Gingaman.
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: In framing Budoh as a traitor, she caused him to lose the Lights of Ginga right as he had finally secured them and ended up causing a series of events that resulted in the Gingamen claiming them, which in turn led to the gradual turn of the tides against Balban and their eventual defeat.
- Resurrective Immortality: If killed she'll revert to a red jewel and can be brought back to life by a ritual. Bucrates tried to do so after her defeat but Zahab and Battobas thwarted his efforts and shattered her gem to ensure she wouldn't come back in any way.
- The Starscream: Plotted along with Bucrates to remove Budoh from command by framing him for treason. They succeeded, though only because Zahab let them believe they played him for fools and was setting up their own defeat in retribution.
- Too Dumb to Live: Mentioning that you will become a powerful magic gem when you die wasn't too smart in front of Zahab who made it clear that he had enough of her failures by the point she mentioned said factor.
Destruction King Battobas
Destruction King Battobas | Actors: Hirofumi Ishigaki (suit), Takeshi Watabe (voice)
"Shut up, Sambash. Do you want me to crush you?"
A brutish yet deep down caring warrior who values strength above all else. He is the fourth general to become active, following Iliess' defeat. He becomes a large help in reviving Daitanix.- The Brute: The Balban Pirates' weapon specialist who preferred brute force over less violent approaches to fulfill his mission.
- The Dragon: Arguably Zahab's personal friend and right-hand man despite Zahab having four generals.
- Eaten Alive: Ends up being eaten by the Earth Demon Beast upon it awakening.
- Foil: To his predecessor Iliess. Battobas was effectively described as Zahab's "right hand arm" and was by far the most loyal of all the captain's generals. Iliess never hid the fact her loyalty to Zahab only extended as much as he was willing to pay her for her services. Additionally, Battobas' monsters were all weaponry/machinery-themed robots. Ilies's monsters were mythological-themed magic users like her.
- Karmic Death: Gets eaten by the Earth Demon Beast, who he tried as hard as he could to make grow.
- Nothing Personal: Says this as he uses the remains of Illiess' soul jewel to stave off Daitanix's decay.
- Shoot the Dog: Used Biznella as a human shield by forcefully enlarging him with Balba-X to distract the Gingamen. He's not happy with betraying Biznella's trust but has no other choice anyway.
Demon Beasts
In General
A group of evil draconic demon beasts that are born on vastly corrupted planets, employed by the Balban's members as the key parts of their plans.
- Animalistic Abomination: All of them are beasts with unknown origins and even a single piece of their corpses can spawn an offspring equal or superior in power. And that's without mentioning their abilities to devour planets and turn into a bright jewel that can grant immortality.
- Evil Counterpart: To the Seijuu, the Seijuu being sacred beasts that protect planets while the Demon Beasts destory them for nourishment.
- From a Single Cell: As revealed in Daitanix's death, a new Demon Beast grow from the surviving fragments with a planet surviving as a host. The only means to prevent it is to completely vaporize a Demon Beast so nothing remains.
- Planet Eater: Demon Beasts travel to other worlds, devouring whole planets while compressing their cores into jewels that grant immortality.
Demon Beast Daitanix
Demon Beast Daitanix
- Breath Weapon: It can fire a stream of blue energy out of its mouth.
- Bizarre Alien Reproduction: When destroyed instead of regenerating From a Single Cell its remains instead create different-looking spawn when they consume enough energy.
- Came Back Wrong: After Biznella's arrival, it was revealed that Daitanix was partially unsealed but also was rotting away, and would've ultimately have perished and sunk into the seas in its slumber if Balban hadn't used Illiess' soul energy to slow down the decomposition before fully resurrecting it.
- Decomposite Character: Of Vulgyre, being a world-destroying Kaiju that the antagonists use as their base and has a weakeness to white flowers that were wiped to near extinction. Vulgyre's personality traits are given to Zaihab.
- Living MacGuffin: The majority of the Balban's schemes revolved around reviving Daitanix.
- Notzilla: A rampaging giant lizard with a Breath Weapon attack.
- Planet Eater: It can devour whole planets, compressing the cores into jewels which grant immortality.
- Tail Slap: One of its attacks.
- Taken for Granite: It was sealed in stone by the ancient Ginga Tribe. While the seal breaking awakened the Balban, Daitanix remained sealed, requiring the Balban to find a way to awaken it.
Earth Demon Beast
Earth Demon Beast
Earth Demon Beast's fully grown form
Its first form
A demonic monster born from Daitanix's remains seeping into the Earth and feeding on the planet's lifeforce, becoming the Balban's replacement for their lost dragon and the Gingaman's penultimate opponent before their showdown with Zahab.
- Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: Devours Battobas as soon as it awakens, saving the Gingamen the trouble of dealing with the general.
- Defeat Equals Explosion: A rare aversion, which is justified by the fact that any remains would result in another Demon Beast. Instead, the Gingaman have to ensure it's Reduced to Dust.
- Kill It with Fire: The Gingaman ultimately combine their strength and boost Ryouma's Earth Power to finish it off, incinerating it completely so nothing remains to form another Demon Beast.
- Living MacGuffin: Like Daitanix. The Balban spend the final portion of the series seeking to feed it Extreme Growth Extract.
- Metamorphosis Monster: Starts out as a house-sized serpentine beast in its larval stage who evolves into a larger form more akin to its parent near the finale.
- Planet Eater: Just like the Daitanix, it is capable of devouring whole planets, as demonstrated when it opened its mouth wide enough to eat an entire mountain in one bite.
- Super Spit: It can release a poisonous purple slime that pollutes the environment (and is strong enough to reduce a car to nothing).
- Walking Wasteland: Its very existence drains the Earth's lifeforce, which in turn reduces the Gingaman's Earth Power.
Demon Beast Fortress Ghelmadix
Demon Beast Fortress Ghelmadix
Click here to see its evolved form
A second member of Daitanix's species that belonged to Captain Gregory and was even stronger than the original. It was crucial to Gregory's plans. After absorbing enough energy from Earth and awakening following Hizumina's defeat it evolves into a second, stronger form. It joins its master in fighting both the Gingaman and Megaranger.
- Diabolus ex Machina: There aren't many hints within the show to this beast's existence and it mostly appears to give Gregory an edge over the Gingaman since they lose GigaRhinos and GigaPhoenix to it.
- Hero Killer: An indirect example. It is powerful enough to force GigaRhinos and GigaPhoenix to sacrifice themselves just to temporarily take it out.
- Informed Ability: It's supposedly stronger than either Daitanix or the Earth Demon Beast, yet both monsters took virtually all of the Gingaman's Starbeasts bum rushing them without rest to be defeated and while it survived GigaRhinos' and GigaPhoenix's sacrifice attacks it was wounded enough to need to go into hiding and absorb Earth Power to grow stronger; and while its supposedly stronger second form can easily take on Galaxy Mega alone it in turn gets easily destroyed when BullTaurus and GingaiOh join in to assist it, without the need for the Gingaman to hit a weakspot like Daitanix or focus all their might in one super attack, and with Gregory's backup on top of it.
- Palette Swap: Is essentially a red Daitanix in its first form. Its evolved form downplays it as while it is essentially a blue-colored Daitanix first and foremost, it also has a metallic armor, shoulder spikes and a larger nose horn.
- Red Is Violent: A red-colored successor to Daitanix who is as violent and dangerous as its predecessor.
Majin
In General
The Balban's middle-ranked members, each group serve under a specific general and take after said general's motif. They are deployed individually to carry out the task of trying to resurrect Daitanix or further the Balban's overall goals.
- Fantasy Kitchen Sink: Bandit and thug Insectoid Aliens, Alien Samurai, Wizards from Outer Space, Mechanical Lifeforms and more are among the ranks of the Balban coexisting alongside the standard Space Pirates.
- Godzilla Threshold: The Balban Extract grows them to giant size and gives them a massive power boost, but it comes with the catch of shortening their lifespans, thus making it a last resort that they don't use unless they have no other choice.
- Leitmotif: Each faction has their own musical sting for when their members use Balban Extract.
- Make My Monster Grow: When cornered, a Majin will pull out a flask and drink Balban Extract to grow into a giant. However, it cuts the user's lifespan in half, hence why they do not use it when the battle begins.
- We ARE Struggling Together: The reason they lost to the first group of Gingaman was due to constant infighting among the four groups. When they are revived in the present day, Zahab insists upon only one group acting at a time in order to prevent this. It only works for a while before the infighting resumes in subtler ways.
