| 15 | A freelance {{courier}} team of "professionals" dedicated to delivering all sorts of odds-and-ends, formed by Bundorio and Taiya in order to fulfil a certain "dream" of theirs. They also work as Earth's defenders, protecting the planet from the Hashirien when they eventually arrive. |

| 17 | [[folder:General Tropes]] |
| 18 | !!!'''Equipment voiced by:''' Creator/RicaMatsumoto |
| 19 | %%* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: The [[Series/OhsamaSentaiKingOhger Ohsama Sentai]] were a group of royalty who lived on another planet and had insects as their mecha. The Boonboomgers are a group of more typical personalities who live on Earth, currently working as a covert courier team and having vehicles as their mecha. |
| 20 | * CombinationAttack: '''Bakuage Handling Drive:''' Bun Red, Bun Blue and Bun Pink perform charging sword attacks on the target, which send it airborne and right into a red prohibited sign. The target then explodes upon sliding off the sign and onto the ground. |
| 21 | * DarkIsNotEvil: In regards to Black and Orange's Boonboom Booster. It's got a darker color scheme of gold, black and purple (not so differently from ''[[Series/MashinSentaiKiramager Kiramager's]]'' Yodon Changer), resembles a grenade, and Bundorio's voice in the changer sounds gruffer compared to his voice in the core three's changers, but Bun Black and Bun Orange are obviously good guys. |
| 22 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: The Boonboomgers' suits are the first in ''Sentai'' history that are modelled after a racecar driver's suit, while previous vehicle-based teams such as ''[[Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger Go-onger]]'' has the racecar driver's suit be their civilian uniform instead. This ties in to the reveal in #8 that [[spoiler:they are ''not'' originally meant to be combat suits, but actual racing suits designed for the [[TheBigRace Big Bang Grand Prix]] Taiya aims to take part in]]. |
| 23 | * InstantExpert: According to the first transformation lesson, going with the flow of things to learn how to fight is apparently a built-in feature, which explains how Mira was able to keep up with Taiya and Ishiro on her first day. |
| 24 | * RedBaron: Each member has a badass nickname based on their talent. |
| 25 | * SuperSpeed: A key ability shared by every member is their ability to almost FlashStep wherever they need to in a fight. |
| 26 | * ThemeNaming: All of the Boonboomgers' names are [[PunnyName puns]] that are based upon parts of a car. |
| 27 | * UnlimitedWardrobe: Except for Genba, the members' clothing subtly change every episode while sticking to their preferred outfit style. |

Being SecretlyWealthy, when something piques his interest, he will enthusiastically acquire it. He is also a risk-taker who is able to see through the essence of things, has a strong competitive instinct, and makes quick decisions. |

| 39 | [[caption-width-right:250:''Bun Red!'']] |
| 40 | * AntiHero: His primary motivations for fighting the Hashiriens is protect his and Bundorio's dream because he believes that they're in the way, as revealed in #8. However, he still does fight to protect the people out of altruism. |
| 41 | * BigFancyHouse: Taiya is revealed to own one in #2, which houses a sizable pool and a gigantic underground garage for starters. |
| 42 | * CharacterCatchphrase: |
| 43 | ** "Now that was (really) Burst-Accelerating!"[[note]](最高の)爆上だな!/''(Saikou no) Bakuage da na!''[[/note]] |
| 44 | ** "You got me interested! I'll buy it!"[[note]]ホレた!買った!/''Horeta! Katta!''[[/note]] |
| 45 | %%* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: |
| 46 | %%** [[Series/OhsamaSentaiKingOhger Gira]] was a RookieRedRanger whose inexperience often leads to him being less quick on the draw than the others and somewhat indecisive. Taiya is a levelheaded ExperiencedProtagonist who can easily adapt to a situation no matter how absurd it gets. Additionally, Gira has an aggressive fighting style that utilizes raw power while Taiya's fighting style is far more precise, utilizing agility and speed to gain an advantage. |
| 47 | %%** Taro was a BrutallyHonest man who CannotTellALie and a ConsummateProfessional who regularly put his team through TrainingFromHell while having separate personas as a civilian and untransformed. Taiya is more lax and casual with his teammates, being more willing to resort to deception while being more fair towards his teammates and being the same in and out of his suit. |
| 48 | %%**Kairi was lazy and laid-back in addition to being cold, teasing, and aloof, while Keiichiro was HotBlooded with a HairTriggerTemper alongside being a Workaholic with ChronicHeroSyndrome. Taiya is professional, casual, and cordial, and is generally more apt at being social. |
| 49 | * CoolCar: Aside from the Boonboom Cars, Taiya is almost ''never'' seen without his iconic red and white convertible, the Boonboom [=SuperCar=]. |
| 50 | * {{Courier}}: He's the main deliveryman within the team, transporting various items and people with his [=SuperCar=]. |
| 51 | * CrimefightingWithCash: If he needs to spend an exorbitant amount of cash to complete his job/defeat the Haishirien, ''he will do it''. This even includes buying off ''entire locations'' just to use them to his advantage. |
| 52 | * DarkSecret: Taiya and Bundorio's dream is treated as this. [[spoiler:It's revealed in #8 that the Boonboomgers and Boonboom Cars were created so that Taiya and Bundorio can take part the "Big Bang Grand Prix", a grand prix that sees the best cars in the universe competing. In turn, this means that the Boonboomgers were never meant to fight the Hashiriens in the first place, despite having the capabilities of doing so.]] While it's not as bad as some examples, it gives off the perception of SkewedPriorities at best and pure selfishness at worst. |
| 53 | * DislikesTheNewGuy: Somehow, despite almost instantly accepting Mira joining the team, he rebukes Jou when he tries to join them. While it's not outright stated, it's implied that Taiya believes that Jou's HotBlooded nature and (initially) shallow reason for wanting to join make him unfit to be a Boonboomger at first. It isn't until Jou declares his intent to protect the team against Darts Grumer no matter the cost that allows him to see that his passion can be a great asset if channeled properly. |
| 54 | * ExperiencedProtagonist: He's been working as a courier and Boonboomger for some time now judging by his general personality and [[SeenItAll reactions to the weird happenings he gets himself involved in]], as well as his exceptional fighting skills. |
| 55 | * GeniusBruiser: In addition to being an excellent hand to hand combatant and is very proficient at wielding multiple weapons, he's the creator of all of the Boonboomger's arsenal with his character bio describing him as a master inventor. |
| 56 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Despite dismissing Jou from joining the team due to supposedly not having truly noble intentions, [[spoiler:the whole reason Taiya formed the Boonboomgers wasn't to fight evil, but to take part in a galactic racing grand prix]]. |
| 57 | * TheKirk: He serves as the even-keeled mediator between Ishiro and Mira, getting along with them both. |
| 58 | * TheLeader: He basically leads the Boonboomgers by gluing his team together. |
| 59 | * MysteriousPast: All that's really known of Taiya in the beginning is that he came into a great amount of wealth as a younger man, met Bundorio along the way, and formed the Boonboomgers to pursue his dream [[spoiler:of taking part the BBG (Big Bang Grand Prix).]] |
| 60 | * NonIdleRich: The man's one of - if not - the wealthiest individual(s) of the entire world, and rather than resting on his laurels he goes around delivering high-stakes parcels. |
| 61 | * PunnyName: His name is based on "Tire" and "Handle". |
| 62 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: A heroic example. Taiya has a habit of using his money to get his way, like buying a junkyard to use as part of a plan to stop a Grumer. |
| 63 | * SecretlyWealthy: He owns an entire underground garage underneath his modern-styled home that can house the gigantic Boomboon Cars and will spend loads of money just to get a job done (such as buying an entire boutique in #1 and a junkyard in #2), but he's fairly humble and really doesn't flaunt his wealth. |

| 73 | The Informer[[note]]情報屋/''jouhou-ya''/"Information Professional"[[/note]]. Originally a freelance spy, he joined Taiya's team under unknown circumstances. Outwardly methodical and sarcastic, he works with Taiya as an informant under the notion of a "job assignment". His appearance of stoic professionalism is quickly revealed to be a front for his more impassioned personality, something he attempts to carefully maintain to varying results. |
| 74 | \ |
| 75 | \ |
| 76 | As Bun Blue, he has excellent dynamic vision and is good at precise movements. As such, he is a skilled marksman who never misses. |

| 80 | [[caption-width-right:250:''Bun Blue!'']] |
| 81 | * AffectionateNickname: He often gets referred to as "[[AlternateCharacterReading Shashi]]ro" by most of the team. Jou opts to call him "Shiro-''senpai''" out of a mistaken belief that his ''actual'' name is Sha Shiro. |
| 82 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: He can think up plans on the fly by carefully observing what's going on. |
| 83 | * BadassInANiceSuit: He's a highly trained markman and informant who wears a sharp suit with a tie. |
| 84 | * BlueMeansSmartOne: He's the Blue Ranger of the Boonboomgers who uses his analytical mindset to craft plans on the fly to save the day. |
| 85 | %%* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: |
| 86 | %%** Both [[Series/OhsamaSentaiKingOhger Yanma]] and Ishiro are intelligent Blue Rangers who utilize a fighting style that focuses on marksmanship. However, Yanma, while capable of having foresight and planning, is an aggressive and reckless fighter who would often butt heads with the others regularly. Ishiro by contrast is a level-headed and calculating combatant and is much more professional in his working relationship with his teammates. |
| 87 | %%** Shinichi was a philosophical and eccentric man who rejected any form of luxury and hated money to the point of refusing to keep any for himself. Ishiro, however, has a more straight-laced demeanor, dresses sharply in a tie, and regularly works with a man who might as well be a walking ATM. |
| 88 | %%** Shiguru was a swordsman whose day-job basically meant ''everyone'' knew about him. Ishiro is quite the opposite, being a marksman who prior to working for Taiya had a job where it was paramount for his identity to remain a secret. |
| 89 | %%** Touma, despite his stoic demeanor, would often focus too much on the end goal without thinking ahead, meaning he would frequently make rash and hasty decisions that would jeopardize his mission if his teammates didn't stop him. Ishiro, however, is a more level-headed man and focuses just as much on the current situation as well as the final goal. |
| 90 | * DislikesTheNewGuy: |
| 91 | ** Unlike Taiya or Bundorio, Ishiro doesn't immediately take to Mira as a teammate due to her inexperience, which is actually the driving point of #2. By the end of the episode however, he does seem to silently come around to her membership. |
| 92 | ** He distrusts Jou when he formally joins the team out of a belief that his goody-two-shoes appearance belies something darker. He gradually sees the error in his thinking when Jou is hit with Toilet Grumer's water, revealing that his NiceGuy personality is entirely genuine. |
| 93 | * ExperiencedProtagonist: Much like Taiya, he's been working as a Boonboomger and informant for quite some time now. |
| 94 | * GeniusBruiser: Ishiro's intelligence goes hand-in-hand with his combat style, which focuses on methodical shooting and precise movements. |
| 95 | * HiddenDepths: Turns out to ''really'' like saunas, taking the time to one about three times a week. |
| 96 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Dislikes Jou for assuming he might hiding dark secrets underneathing his facade. Come #8 and it's revealed Ishiro was also hiding a dark secret [[spoiler:being in the know of Taiya's true plan of forming the Boonboomgers that wasn't for altruistic purposes.]] |
| 97 | * IOweYouMyLife: #2 reveals that Taiya defeated Ishiro in the past but spared him, giving Ishiro more than a reason to follow Taiya. |
| 98 | * {{Irony}}: In #6, he is obsessed with tailing Jou in an attempt to see if there's any darkness in him. The tables get turned when he and Jou get splashed with Toilet Grumer's water, which shows Jou is 100% earnest and ''Ishiro himself'' is hiding a lot of passion underneath the surface and that's not counting [[spoiler:him knowing from the start that the Boonboomgers weren't supposed to be a goody-good heroic team.]] |
| 99 | * TheLancer: He's the second most experienced member of the team and usually acts as a confidant to Taiya. |
| 100 | * MeaningfulName: The ''Ishi''/射士 in his given name means "marksman". Additionally it can be [[AlternateCharacterReading alternatively read as]] ''shashi'', a [[PunnyName pun]] based on the Japanese pronunciation of "chassis", which forms the basis of Taiya's AffectionateNickname for him. |
| 101 | * NotSoAboveItAll: The first transformation episode sees him fanboying over the specs of the Boonboom Changer and the Boonboom Handle. |
| 102 | * NotSoStoic: The effects of Toiler Grumer's water in #6 reveal that he's a passionate go-getter underneath the stoicism not unlike Jou. Naturally, he gets made fun of by Taiya and Mira for this. |
| 103 | * PunnyName: His last name is based on "Meter". |
| 104 | * TheSpock: His cold, analytical mindset causes him to butt heads with Mira, though it ultimately doesn't hamper their teamwork. |
| 105 | * TheStoic: Subverted. It initially seems that he's an aloof, levelheaded professional who keeps his distance, only for #6 to reveal that he's way [[HotBlooded more passionate]] than he lets on. |

| 114 | The Motorist[[note]]運転屋/''unten-ya''/"Driving Professional"[[/note]]. A freeter who works multiple part-time jobs and is skilled at driving and maneuvering vehicles, moreso than Taiya and Ishiro. She is also the team's mood-maker as well as a frequent troublemaker who sticks her nose into other people's business. Inspired by Taiya's words of controlling her own fate, she decides to become a Boonboomger to break away from people making the decisions for her. |

| 122 | * ArrangedMarriage: How we are first introduced to her. For unknown political reasons, she was forced to marry Bonbon Aosato. Luckily Taiya manages to rescue her in time. |
| 123 | * BadassDriver: Despite her inexperience, she's an excellent driver. To boot, the first episode sees her easily outmaneuvering a Gyahsoline-empowered Yalcar through sheer willpower and skills. It is especially worth noting that her Boonboom Wagon is ''the only left-offside'' Boonboom Car compared to the others' Japanese-standard right-offside, which means she ''[[InstantExpert instantly mastered]] driving a pseudo-import vehicle''. |
| 124 | * BerserkButton: She does not like it when people [[LockedOutOfTheLoop leave her in the dark with regards to crucial details]]. It's first played seriously when she has a falling out with Taiya over TheReveal that the Boonboomgers were created as a racing team, but is later played more humorously in #10 when she gets annoyed that Genba didn't tell her that the package he was carrying was a decoy. |
| 125 | * CharacterTics: Has a habit of putting her chin in between her thumb and index finger. |
| 126 | %%* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: |
| 127 | %%** While (originally) HappilyMarried, Tsuyoshi was a Yandere CrazyJealousGuy who would regularly flip his switch should his love interest get involved but was otherwise meek, indecisive, and regularly prone to poor decisions. Mira both rejected her ArrangedMarriage and dumped her actual boyfriend, and despite starting out as spineless she immediately took the wheel and made her own path while being infallibly optimistic and energetic. She also regularly made smarter decisions. |
| 128 | %%** Sayo was generally calm and composed while making many of her decisions. Mira... not so much. |
| 129 | %%** Tsukasa was generally a primarily level-headed and mature woman who kept her much more feminine and immature plushie-loving behavior hidden from her coworkers. Mira doesn't even bother with hiding it and wears her girly side right on her sleeve. |
| 130 | * TheChick: She is the only female of her team. |
| 131 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Downplayed. While her thought process isn't anything too abstract, she has a tendency to make rash decisions or just go at her own pace regardless of the situation, which sometimes ends up accidentally providing an advantage for the team due to [[ConfusionFu the unpredictability of her actions]]. This aspect of her is the source of Taiya's interest in her. |
| 132 | * ColorCodedCharacters: Mira plays with the trope by virtue of occasionally wearing yellow clothes in addition to the pink she's associated with as the Pink Ranger of the team, which may be a nod to how yellow is the other color usually associated with female Rangers in Super Sentai. |
| 133 | * DoubleMeaningTitle: As ''The Motorist''. Not only is she an InstantExpert at driving any vehicle, she also drives the team morale as their mood-maker. |
| 134 | * GenkiGirl: She's incredibly energetic and plucky, especially when she gets pumped up. |
| 135 | * HereditaryWeddingDress: The dress she wore at her ArrangedMarriage was originally her grandmother's. |
| 136 | * InconsistentSpelling: Officially, Mira's name is rendered in ''kanjī'' as 未来. However, possibly due to the rarity of her name, her name sometimes gets rendered in ''katakana'' as ミラ. |
| 137 | * InstantExpert: While she does mildly fumble around when it comes to the logistics of things, she manages to quickly adapt to being a Boonboomger on her first outing through pure instinct. |
| 138 | * ItsPersonal: One of the reasons she decides to join the fight as a Boonboomger is because the monster was made from her grandmother's wedding dress. |
| 139 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: Mira lampshades in #10 that she tends to be out of the loop when it comes to certain situations. |
| 140 | ** In #3, she is unaware that she was planned to be bait for Tokei Grumer, purely focused on her delivery job. |
| 141 | ** She, alongside Jou, were made unaware of the true nature of the Boonboomgers until Genba accidentally revealed Taiya and Bundorio's dream in #8. Understandably, she gets upset by this to the point where she [[WhatTheHellHero calls out Taiya at the end of the episode for pushing himself too far.]] |
| 142 | ** In #10, she was the only one that wasn't made aware that the contents of case that Genba was carrying was already delivered, making the both of them decoys to the Sanseaters. |
| 143 | * TheMcCoy: Her impulsive, intuition-driven attitude causes her to clash with Ishiro at times, though they still work together well as a team. |
| 144 | * MeaningfulName: Her first name, "Mirror", is to help her ''reflect'' on what she wants to do with her life, and thus she made a ''shift'' to walking her own path and becoming a Boonboomger. |
| 145 | * NaiveNewcomer: Of the first three, she is the newest of the trio after Taiya and Ishiro. |
| 146 | * PunnyName: Her name is based on "Mirror" and "Shift". |
| 147 | * RunawayBride: An unintentional example as she was taken by Taiya during her wedding, but she had second thoughts as she was being married to someone else against her will for unexplained political reasons. |
| 148 | * UnskilledButStrong: Her instincts and more unconventional methods allow her to keep up with her more experienced teammates in combat. |

| 153 | * ImprobableUseOfAWeapon: When using the Boonboom Handle in Rod Mode, she oftentimes wields it by the shaft with the handle portion acting as a weight, akin to [[CarryABigStick a club]]. This gets lampshaded in #11 when Taiya calls her out for it, apparently revealing that [[AchievementsInIgnorance she doesn't realize she's been playing this trope all along]]. |

He also admits in #5 that he's always idolized superheroes. However, he comes to admit that becoming a hero just to be "cool" and actually being a hero to do the right thing are vastly different. |

| 179 | * {{Determinator}}: Jou rarely ever gives up protecting people, even if he gets hurt in the process. |
| 180 | * FlowerMotifs: The hoodie he wears in #6 has daisies on it. Daisies represent innocence and purity, reflecting on how Jou is truly as nice as he appears. They are also known to survive harsh conditions, reflecting how Jou will not give up in protecting the people whether he be a police officer or Boonboomger. Finally, daisies represent youth and Jou is essentially the youngest of the Boonboomgers. |
| 181 | * HiddenDepths: He's well acquainted with bodybuilders and even gave them tips on improving themselves. And at the same time, this is discussed with Ichiro who is trying to exploit if there are any negative connotations underneath Jou's facade in #6...only to find out he doesn't have any. |
| 182 | * HotBlooded: Jou is incredibly passionate about protecting people, to the point where he veers into recklessness. This is implied to be the reason why Taiya doesn't let him become a Boonboomger at first in #5, only to change his mind when the former realizes that [[AnAesop just leaping into action unprepared does not make one a true "hero"]] while the latter sees that his passion allows him to be at his best. From then on, he shifts to more mellow personality. |
| 183 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: Jou is a truly kind-hearted individual no matter what Ishiro believes. In #6, Toilet Grumer's water reveals that his kindness is genuine. |
| 184 | * {{Irony}}: He is touted as a "professional", with his nickname in Japanese even calling him the "Police Professional", but in actuality, he's a completely inexperienced rookie policeman. Though this is justified within the team itself as compared to the others he's the only one with ''any'' sort of experience in law enforcement. |
| 185 | * JackOfAllTrades: #6 reveals that he's really good at different sorts of tasks. He fixed someone's front door, got a home run in an amateur baseball game and gives advice to bodybuilders on their techniques. |
| 186 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: He, alongside Mira, were made unaware of the true nature of the Boonboomgers until Genba accidentally revealed Taiya and Bundorio's dream in #8. Jou is understandably upset by this, but doesn't get outright angry at Taiya unlike Mira. |
| 187 | * LovedByAll: It's clear that almost everyone in town is on good terms with Jou, from housewives to ''bodybuilders he gives advice to on their workout routines''. As if that wasn't enough, almost every business owner in the area is willing to give him free samples, including one for ''tempura''. |
| 188 | * MadeOfIron: Most of his debut transformation episode has him getting beaten bloody by the MonsterOfTheWeek outside of his suit, yet still is able get back up and fight. |
| 189 | * MeaningfulName: His first name literally means "Lock", alluding to his job to lock up criminals as a policeman. |
| 190 | * NiceGuy: His passion is matched by his sheer kindness and protectiveness towards people, so much so that Ishiro believes that it has to be front in #6, only to be proven wrong later on in the episode. |
| 191 | * PoliceAreUseless: He's a rookie policeman who constantly gets the short end of the stick regarding the Hashiriens. Justified, as 1) he's a NaiveNewcomer who still has yet to learn the ropes, and 2) an invading alien army is far out of a typical policeman's usual fare. This becomes averted after he joins the team. |
| 192 | * PunnyName: His last name is based on "Accel", while his first name puns on an AlternateCharacterReading of the kanji 上/''age''/"up/to increase". Put them together in Japanese reading format and you get "Accel Up/Accelerate". |
| 193 | * TookALevelInBadass: Let's just say the Hashiriens lost what little edge they had after Bun Black entered the picture, getting quickly cut down with his sheer strength. |
| 194 | * WeirdnessMagnet: Before joining the Boonboomgers, he often comes across the Kurumaju by chance and ends up becoming a ButtMonkey victim to them due to his inexperience in handling the situation. |
| 195 | * {{Workaholic}}: Even being on his ''day off'' won't stop him from doing his job as a cop. |
| 196 | * WreckedWeapon: The Tokei Grumer gives him two {{Sword Beam}}s for his attempt at stopping him, the first one slicing through a bullet he fired and the second one completely destroying his handgun. In fact, the main reason he only lost his firearm in the battle is that Taiya shoved him out of the way of the attack before his ''body'' could get hit. |

While he has a kind and soft-spoken demeanor, he is actually quite elusive and never shows his true feelings. Despite working with Taiya as his official procurer for some time now, he only officially joins the Boonboomgers after realizing that the team will quickly outgrow his current skillset. |

| 216 | [[caption-width-right:250:''Bun Orange!'']] |
| 217 | * BystanderSyndrome: He already owns a [[TransformationTrinket Boonboom Booster]] from Taiya, but for reasons unknown, he prefers to not get involved in the Boonboomgers' fights, instead helping out through his procuring. #7 however has Taiya gift him an entire Change Axe set with another Boonboom Booster, suggesting the one he had earlier was solely for communications, but nonetheless he was still insistent on his decision until the Boonboomgers being in a pinch forced his hand. |
| 218 | * CantCatchUp: His dilemma in #7 is based on this. While he believes his procuring is more than enough to keep up with the four Boonboomgers, he realizes with the arrival of [=MadRex=] that they will quickly outgrow him even with their current setbacks, forcing him to finally join the fray as Bun Orange. |
| 219 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Seems like you're in a pinch."[[note]]お困りのようだね。/''Okomari no you da ne.''[[/note]] |
| 220 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: For the Boonboomgers specifically. It's implied his preferred form of "helping" had been to keep watch all of their battles from the side, [[BigDamnHeroes ready to save them]] by tossing in [[CrazyPrepared items he believes they would need already on-hand]]. #7 shows that this form of helping doesn't last however, as his multiple attempts to assist the Boonboongers are all rendered moot when they are able to save themselves ''before'' he could do anything. This ends up being huge red flag of CantCatchUp for him which forces him to provide direct assistance by finally stepping into the fray himself. |
| 221 | * CombatAndSupport: When he's first introduced, he's shown as an expert procurer willing to stay on the sidelines while Taiya and Ishiro handle combat duties. Even with the additions of Mira and Jou to the team, he's still reluctant to join the fray himself, until [=MadRex's=] arrival gives him a reason to take to the field. |
| 222 | * DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Downplayed. While he's not particularly bothered by it, he implies in #10 that he isn't really sure with what to do with his life aside from supporting people, which is why he took the ISA's delivery job in the first place. |
| 223 | %%* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: |
| 224 | %%** Stinger was a man who would occasionally show his softer side to his teammates. Genba, however, doesn't, and rarely interacts with Taiya outside of business. |
| 225 | %%** Bud regularly showed disdain for his teammates but would still at least acknowledge them as good-hearted people. Genba, despite his elusive nature, never shows any form of disrespect. |
| 226 | %%** Akira was a defector from the villain faction who was the SixthRanger on the team and felt out of place with his teammates due to his past. Genba is not only from the team to begin with, but despite his elusive nature he actually feels comfortable enough with them to hang with the group if he feels like it. |
| 227 | * {{Foil}}: Jou is a hot-blooded newcomer who has no experience with the team and would always get his ass whupped in his earlier interactions with the Hashiriens. Genba, on the other hand, is a much more stoic individual and has not only worked with Taiya but was also ''instrumental'' in some of the team's victories against the Hashiriens. |
| 228 | * GeniusSweetTooth: The man is never seen without his trademark lollipops and he's the guy in charge of procuring what Taiya purchases. |
| 229 | * HiddenDepths: He carries an affection for Belora much like Bundorio, as seen in #7 and #9. |
| 230 | * IconicItem: Always carries around a lollipop of sorts. |
| 231 | * PunnyName: His name is based on ''(kouji)genba''/(工事)現場/"(construction) site"(written with different kanji) and "brake". He lampshades the former in #4. |
| 232 | -->'''Genba:''' Yeah, this is ''Genba'' at the ''site'' of the incident... |
| 233 | * TheScrounger: He's an expert procurer who helps Taiya acquire what he needs. For instance, he served as the go-between to help Taiya buy out a junkyard that was instrumental in defeating the Soujiki Grumer. |
| 234 | * SecretKeeper: Due to being Taiya's trusted collaborator and owning a Boonboom Booster, it's implied he's initially the only person who is fully aware of the Boonboomgers' covert hero activities and their identities, even before becoming one of them himself. |
| 235 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: He loves lollipops. |

| 241 | * BrutishWeaponBrutishCharacter: Averted. Despite appearing like a man who just swings his weapon indiscriminately, Bun Orange is a controlled and precise fighter, with the Boonboom Change Axe's Axe Mode being more comparable to a modestly-sized hatchet than a proper battle axe. |
| 242 | * ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Zig-zagged when it comes to his Mecha. Bun Orange owns both the orange-colored Boonboom Dozer and the yellow-colored Boonboom shovel. While one would expect him to pilot the orange mecha, he usually pilots the ''yellow'' Boonboom Shovel while the ''orange'' Boonboom Dozer is considered as his auxiliary Mecha and is usually piloted by the other Boonboomgers. |

| 249 | |
| 250 | The Mechanic. Known to his friends as "Bunbun", Bundorio is a car-robot like alien who fell to Earth severely injured and was saved by Taiya. Living in the latter's secret underground garage, they worked together to create the Boonboomgers' equipment. He is also able to grow giant-sized, serving as the main body of the Boonboomger Robo and is able to bring out his full power when the Boonboomgers pilot him from his cockpit. |

| 254 | [[caption-width-right:250:]] |
| 255 | * ActorAllusion: |
| 256 | ** This is not the first time Rica Matsumoto voiced a [[Series/ChikyuuSentaiFiveman Super Sentai team's support robot who doubles as part of their arsenal]]. |
| 257 | ** Bundorio's sun visor and his red helmet combine to form the shape of a baseball cap, with the red tire on his forehead front and center. This brings to mind Matsumoto's [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries most well-known]] [[Characters/PokemonTheSeriesAshKetchum anime role]]. |
| 258 | * AffectionateNickname: He often gets called "Bunboom" by Taiya, "Bun-''chan''"[[note]][[{{Woolseyism}} Rendered by Over-Time]] as "Boomer"[[/note]] by Mira, and "Bun-''san''" by Jou. |
| 259 | %%* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: The Shugods were titanic beings unable to change their size or speak in human dialect, and rarely interacted with their human partners outside of combat. Bundorio is not only able to shrink and grow on his own, but in addition to speaking the same language as the team, he regularly rubs shoulders with them even outside of combat. |
| 260 | * CorruptedCharacterCopy: Acts as one to Rica Matsumoto's famous role of Satoshi. [[spoiler:Bundorio was like Satoshi once upon a time, having a dream to become a master only to lose it in an accident. But Boondorio was unable to bounce back like Satoshi, and thus ended up wandering the universe trying to find his new purpose in life, in contrast to Satoshi ultimately finding a new journey to explore the world after defeating Leo and becoming World Coronation King.]] |
| 261 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Bundorio was previously a racer in the Big Bang Grand-Prix who got his license to drive revoked after an accident. Wandering the cosmos DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife as a result, he ends up crashing into Earth and meeting Taiya, who rescues him. Hearing of his backstory, Taiya makes it his goal to get Bundorio able to re-enter the Grand-Prix, with [[TakeAThirdOption him as the driver this time while Bundorio serves as the mechanic instead]].]] |
| 262 | * LargeHam: The team can break out into their moments in the pork section, but Bundorio does it so regularly that he has NoIndoorVoice sometimes. |
| 263 | * MechanicalLifeform: He's specifically noted to be an alien rather than a robot, even if he's practically one. Since he can eat the curry that he cooks, it's clear that he can derive sustenance from food instead of purely mechanical means. |
| 264 | * MissionControl: Does this for the Boonboomgers from Taiya's garage when not active as Boonboomger Robo. |
| 265 | * NonHumanSidekick: A robot sidekick. |
| 266 | * OneNoteCook: While he is the TeamChef, he exclusively cooks ''curry stew'' for some reason. |
| 267 | * PaperThinDisguise: Played with. He wears a sun visor when in human-size and takes it off when in giant robo mode. This isn't really much of a problem, however, as he only ever leaves the base for a mecha battle and hardly ever travels outside of it when human-sized. There's another key difference between Bundorio and the Boonboomger Robo; the latter has twin ramps that flow down the back like a set of coattails or a BadassCape, while Bundorio does not. |
| 268 | ** Averted in #7, where his trip outside has him wearing CoolShades, a trenchcoat, and has his head wrapped in bandages. The piece de la resistance? A comically large (and familiar-looking) baseball cap. Heck, the only things that aren't covered are his hands and feet (though in the team's defense, Bundorio wouldn't really be able to wear ''any'' kind of shoe due to his ''colossal'' footprint). |
| 269 | * PunnyName: His name is a play on Creator/AntonioBanderas'. |
| 270 | * RobotBuddy: The Boonboomgers's personal robot helper and partner. |
| 271 | * ShoutOut: His appearance and background as an alien robot that turns into a truck and works with humans is homage to [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Optimus Prime]]. |
| 272 | * {{Sizeshifter}}: Boonderas can shrink down to human size and then enlarge to being a proper HumongousMecha when needed. |
| 273 | * TheNamesake: The Boonboomger team is named after him. |
| 274 | * TransformingMecha: Transforms into the Boonboom Trailer. |
| 275 | * TsurimeEyes: The way his BigAnimeEyes are designed and situated tend to give him this look. They become even more pronounced as Boonboomger Robo. |

| 284 | * BigBadassRig: He can transform his body into the Boonboom Trailer, Bun Red's primary mecha. |
| 285 | * CoolGate: Not only does his Gate Mode activate the Attack Mode of the Boonboom Cars that pass through, on Earth it also acts as a portal to bring them out from Highway Space. |
| 286 | * DualWielding: He can do this by wielding Boonboom Classic alongside Boonboom Offroad, forming Boonboomger Robo Nitoryu. |
| 287 | * FinishingMove: |
| 288 | ** Boonboomger Robo: |
| 289 | *** '''Bakuage Driver: Boonboom Finish:''' Boonboomger Robo charges the Bakuage Driver with energy before performing an orange energy slash on the opponent. |
| 290 | ** Boonboomger Robo Nitoryu: |
| 291 | *** '''9:15 Strike: Boonboom Finish:''' Boonboomger Robo Nitoryu combines the Bakuage Driver and Boonboom Classic's sword to form a spinning clock-like energy tire and uses the sword to launch it at the opponent. |

| 293 | *** '''Bakuage Magnum: Boonboom Crash:''' Boonboomger Robo Police executes a series of powerful shots from the Bakuage Magnums that can destroy the opponent in seconds. |
| 294 | ** Boonboomger Robo Builder: |
| 295 | *** '''Bakuage Hammer: Boonboom Crash:''' Boonboomger Robo Builder raises the Bakuage Hammer and slams it onto the ground to create and launch energy constructs of hazard markers to destroy the opponent instantly. |

| 298 | * GunFu: Utilizes this style of combat in Police Form. |
| 299 | * PersonalityPowers: A notable aspect of the mecha is that certain combinations will cause notable changes to Bundorio's personality, with the default combination changing absolutely nothing, Police becoming a CowboyCop, and Builder being a BoisterousBruiser amongst many. |

| 307 | * AllThereInTheManual: Its name is only ever provided in toy manuals for Boonboomger Robo and in ''Transformation & Combination Course! Part 2''. |
| 308 | * KibblesAndBits: Its main purpose as part of Boonboomger Robo is to just fill in his torso cavity for certain forms; in the original toyline it also acts as storage for Bundorio's regular face, which appears in-series as part of its combination sequence. |

| 315 | * EarlyBirdCameo: ''All'' of the Boonboom Cars already appear in the first episode, and continue to appear in the [[CarChase Yalcar chase scenes]]. But as it turns out, while they are functional as cars, most of them still required further tuning to be fully functional {{weaponized car}}s, hence their proper DebutQueue over the course of the following episodes as each of their maintenance comes to completion. |
| 316 | * ImprovisedWeapon: Despite having Attack Modes, the Boonboom Cars' original purpose revealed in #8 is [[spoiler:to simply be vehicles in the planned [[TheBigRace Big Bang Grand Prix]], which means that them being used as weapons for Boonboomger Robo was simply an improvised means of fighting the Kurumaju]]. |
| 317 | * WeaponizedCar: Each one of the Boonboom Cars has a weapon stored inside it, that is deployed after the car passes through Boonboom Trailer's Gate Mode. |
| 318 | !!Boonboom [=SuperCar=] |
| 319 | Taiya's personal convertible. |

| 322 | !!Boonboom Offroad |
| 323 | Bun Blue's main mecha. |
| 324 | ---- |
| 325 | * ImprovisedWeapon: Its Attack Mode (and weapon for Boonboomger Robo) is a gigantic screwdriver, dubbed the ''Bakuage Driver''. The Boonboomger Robo uses this ''as its primary sword''. |
| 326 | * TheNudifier: Not literally, but the way the Kurumaju function means that this ''completely'' fits the bill in a demographically appropriate manner, as its common use is to unscrew off the giant Kurumaju's armor and weapons. |
| 327 | !!Boonboom Wagon |

| 336 | * UseYourHead: Boonboom [=PatoCar=] 1 deploys as a mobile spike strip, which carries over to when it forms the head of Boonboomger Robo Police and allows it to deliver vicious headbutts. |

| 358 | * LawOfChromaticSuperiority: It's the most powerful of the Boonboom Cars that debut in the first arc of the show, and is colored red and therefore associated with Taiya. |
| 359 | * NecessaryDrawback: The sheer power of this Boonboom Car results in the driver experiencing powerful forces on their body that can tire them out or put them in danger, which is why Taiya never deploys it in the first few episodes. It's only when the other Boonboomgers fully support his dream that they're able to withstand the tremendous recoil as a unit, which allows them to form Boonboomger Robo Knight and defeat [=MadRex=]. |

| 394 | * MeaningfulName: ''Shirabe'' means "to investigate''. |
| 395 | * NotSoStoic: #4 quickly reveals that she has quite the dorky side underneath her stoic demeanor, as indicated when she starts to fiercely blush after Bundorio calls her "''onee-san''". |
| 396 | * ObstructiveBureaucrat: She hired Jou to help her put a stop to the Boonboomgers' activities, which went as well as you'd expect. She eventually obliges to Taiya's demands, with the caveat that they need a liaison between the Boonboomgers and the I.S.A. Thankfully, Jou is the perfect candidate for the job. |
| 397 | * ShipTease: There are hints that she has taken a shine to Bundorio, with her blushing after he calls her "''onee-san''", and #8 having her wanting to give him a Belora CD in person but chickening out at the last second. |

| 405 | |
| 406 | Known as the "menace of the universe", they are a space mafia formed from a society of aliens from various planets which seeks to conquer the universe. They attack humans in order to gather their screams as an energy source known as ''Gyahsoline''. |
| 407 | ---- |
| 408 | * EvilIsHammy: It varies on how consistently their members fall into this, but they ''all'' fall into this nonetheless. |
| 409 | * InconsistentSpelling: Their name has been debated between "Hashirien" and "Hashiryan". |
| 410 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 411 | ** From ''hashiri''/走り/"running" and "alien". |
| 412 | ** Their fuel source, Gyahsoline, comes from "''gya''" (an onomatopoeia for screaming) and "gasoline". |
| 413 | * ShoutOutThemeNaming: The superiors of the Hashirien are all named after car-racing films. |

| 416 | [[folder:Waluido Spindo]] |
| 417 | The great boss and head of the Hashiriens. |
| 418 | ---- |
| 419 | * BigBad: He's the leader of the Hashiriens. |
| 420 | * TheGhost: He was name-dropped by [=MadRex=] in #8 but is not shown on-screen and little is known about him yet. |
| 421 | * ShoutOut: His name is a reference to ''Franchise/TheFastAndTheFurious'''s Japanese name, "Wild Speed"/ワイルド・スピード/''Wairudo Supīdo''. |

| 430 | -->Engine: Noise Pollution Head\ |
| 431 | Speed: Fastest charge attacks\ |
| 432 | Custom Weapons: Furious Death Rod, Hashiri-Ken |
| 433 | \ |
| 434 | The captain of the Hashirien's Charge Team, and the direct superior of the Sanseaters. |
| 435 | ---- |
| 436 | * ArcVillain: Serves as the Hashirien captain in charge through the First Lap of the show. |
| 437 | * BadBoss: He is not beyond yelling at the Sanseaters or even physically attacking them when they make him lose his patience. |
| 438 | * BloodKnight: While he works for Hashirien and is loyal to his boss, [=MadRex=] cares about defeating Taiya more than about anything else. |
| 439 | * CastingGag: He has a high position and has a purple head over a reddish body. It seems like a [[Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger certain dragon ranger]] (not to be confused with [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger the other dragon ranger]]) has a secret evil twin. |
| 440 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: His defeat marks the end of the show's First Lap. |
| 441 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: |
| 442 | ** His arrival on Earth has him swing by the Sanseaters and tell them to solve their problems themselves, seeming having overheard them making wishes to him like he was a shooting star. |
| 443 | ** He's established to be a major threat by having the upper hand in his battle with Taiya all throughout; had it not been for Genba's timely intervention and his dog urging him elsewhere, it's likely he would have won outright. |
| 444 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Pretty much the only redeeming quality [=MadRex=] has is the love he shows for his dog, Hashiri-Ken. He also respects his own boss, Waluido Spindo, marveling in his powers and fledging his loyalty to him. |
| 445 | * EvilCounterpart: To Taiya in #8. Both are leaders who quickly lose the respect of their respective factions for a while. While [=MadRex=] is willing to backstab his own underlings to get ahead in the game, like trapping the Sanseaters in cages with the Boonboomgers and squeezes the Gyaughsoline out of Yaiyai Yalcar. Taiya keeps the truth about why the Boonboomgers were formed a secret from Mira and Jou, and when they learn that it's [[spoiler:to host a glorified racing tournament]], they call out Taiya for not caring about being a hero. |
| 446 | * {{Expy}}: As the long-suffering direct superior of the Sanseaters who is constantly seen with his pet, he is effectively the [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Sakaki/Giovanni to their Team Rocket Trio.]] |
| 447 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: He's got roughly scarred areas over his left eye, though there's no indication of blindness as a result. |
| 448 | * HateSink: While the Sanseaters are LaughablyEvil, [=MadRex=] is more of a sadist who is disrespectful to anyone he comes across. |
| 449 | * {{Hypocrite}}: [=MadRex=] often berates the Sanseaters for failing to collect Gyahsoline, but he himself is more focused at defeating Taiya than on doing that. |
| 450 | * InconsistentSpelling: While the official spelling is still yet to be confirmed, translations of his name ''Maddorekkusu'' have been split between "[=MadRex=]" and "[=MadWrecks=]", though it leans on the former given his references to the ''Mad Max'' franchise. |
| 451 | * KickTheDog: Ironically enough, not on his own literal dog, but Yalcar. [=MadRex=]'s method of growing large is to seize the little guy and more or less wring them dry of Gyahsoline, obviously not caring if it's painful for them or not. |
| 452 | * KnightOfCerebus: His proper debut has him demonstrating that he's leagues more dangerous and effective than his underlings by giving Taiya one heck of a fight. And things just get worse from there, especially after he grows giant. |
| 453 | * LargeHam: He's practically shouting his lines at every chance he gets. |
| 454 | * MakerOfMonsters: Like Itarsha, he can create Kurumaju from random objects via ignition key. |
| 455 | * PetTheDog: One of the very few things he gives affection to is his Hashiri-Ken, which just so happens to be ''stitched into his leg''. |
| 456 | * PlayingWithFire: He can generate flames through an engine located on his head. However, he only generates it when he's extremely furious, and rarely uses it to attack his opponents |
| 457 | * PurpleIsPowerful: [=MadRex=] uses purple as his main secondary color, and unlike the Sanseaters, he can actually fight to a standstill against the Boonboomgers. The only reason he didn't finish off Bun Red was due to external circumstances. |
| 458 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: This guy is the direct superior of the Sanseaters for a good reason; unlike the Kurumaju, [=MadRex=] relies on skill and unadulterated raw power, which if not for external circumstances would allow him to kill all of the Boonboomgers in one fell swoop. |
| 459 | * RedIsViolent: His body is primarily crimson red, and he is not above using force to get his point across. |
| 460 | * TheRival: Becomes one to Taiya after their first fight. |
| 461 | * ShoutOut: His name is a reference to the ''Film/MadMax'' film franchise, with [[FreezeFrameBonus his three license plate numbers]] (1979, 1981 and 1985) representing the release years of the first three films. His ''Furious Death Rod'' FinishingMove is also based on ''Fury Road'''s Japanese title, "Furious Death Road''. |
| 462 | * SpikesOfVillainy: Standard variations can be found on his chestpiece, but his forearms and calves have what are essentially knife blades on the side and his shoulderpads have large conical drills. |
| 463 | * StrongAndSkilled: [=MadRex=] tends to prioritize power in his combat style, but he can and ''will'' use more sophisticated tactics when he needs to. |
| 464 | * ThisIsADrill: His weapon, the Angry Deathrod, is a staff with a drill attached to its tip, which he can also ride like a [[BadassBiker motorbike]]. He also has drills sticking out of each of his shoulders. |
| 465 | * VileVillainLaughableLackey: The Sanseaters not only get their asses handed to them every time they fight the Boonboomgers, but they're seen as a group of absolute ''jokes'' at worst. [=MadRex=], however, has far fewer comedic moments, and he managed to give Taiya a solid run for his money in ''every single fight he gets in with the guy'', as well as being the first Hashirien to ''damage'' any of the team's mecha. |
| 466 | * VillainRespect: After their first battle, Madrex commends Taiya for his prowess and asks for his name. Performing his roll call, Madrex expects to catch him on the course next time they meet and disappears in a smoke fog. He drops the act in #9 and sets his mind on defeating Taiya once and for all. |
| 467 | * TheVoice: At #2 and #3 he can only be heard through voice communications with the Sanseaters until his full debut in #6. |

| 472 | [=MadRex=]'s pet dog, who is attached to his left thigh. Hashiri-Ken assists [=MadRex=] by finding objects for him to make Kurumaju from. |
| 473 | ---- |
| 474 | * AlasPoorVillain: It's hard not to feel bad for this little pooch when it utters its catchphrase (In a sadder way than usual) one last time before dying alongside its master. |
| 475 | * AmbiguousSituation: Due to the fact that it's attached to [=MadRex=]'s leg, it's hard to determine whether Hashiri-Ken is a living being of its own, a sentient part of Madrex's body or some sort of a robot. |
| 476 | * CanineCompanion: For [=MadRex=], and it's so much of a companion that it's ''attached to his leg''. |
| 477 | * TheChooserOfTheOne: Hashiri-Ken decides the object that [=MadRex=] will make the Kurumaju from. |
| 478 | * OneWordVocabulary: It can only say "''Pararira-pararira!''" (パラリラパラリラ)[[note]]The Japanese {{onomatopoeia}} for a biker gang honking their horns; [[{{Woolseyism}} Over-Time renders it as]] "Bwananana-nananana!"[[/note]] |
| 479 | * PunnyName: Based off the ''Hashirien'' brand, but with the Japanese term for "dog"/犬/''ken'' mixed in at the end. |
| 480 | * SatelliteCharacter: Not only it's [=MadRex=]'s pet, it's ''stitched to his leg'', so obviously Hashiri-Ken can't stand for its own. They even share a voice actor. |
| 481 | * TheyHaveTheScent: As Hashiri-Ken is a dog, its ability to find objects for [=MadRex=] to make Kurumaju from alludes to this. |

| 489 | The captain of the Hashiriens' Modification Squad, becoming the Sanseaters' new superior after [=MadRex=]'s defeat. |
| 490 | ---- |
| 491 | * ArcVillain: Becomes the Sanseaters' direct superior after [=MadRex=]'s death in the Second Lap of the series. |
| 492 | * ColdHam: Their grandiosity is barely tempered by their restrained personality outside of their role-call. |
| 493 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: After the Boonboomgers defeat Antenna Grumer, the first Grumer created after Cannonborg's arrival, the Grumer is revived with a new antenna on its arm, shocking even the Sanseaters. It turns out that Cannonborg upgraded it without the Sanseaters knowing, showing the viewer that there's a reason they're Hashirien's ''modification'' team captain. |
| 494 | * EvilGenius: They are the Hashirien's head scientist. |
| 495 | %%* ExpositoryPronoun: "''Watakushi''". |
| 496 | %%* FourEyesZeroSoul: |
| 497 | * MadScientist: Their mannerisms, while certainly bombastic, have a certain creepiness to them that definitely befits their position as an evil scientist. As the captain of the Modification Squad, they specialize in modifying Kurumaju with powerful abilities. |
| 498 | * MakerOfMonsters: Like Itarsha and [=MadRex=], they can create Kurumaju from random objects via ignition key. |
| 499 | * ShoutOut: Their name is a reference to the 1981 film ''Film/TheCannonballRun''. Their home planet, Needham, is a nod to the film's director Hal '''Needham'''. |
| 500 | * SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Cannonborg is Hashirien's Modification Squad Captain and wears glasses over their eyes. |
| 501 | * TurnsRed: That doesn't happen to them, but Cannonborg can modify monsters with new parts that appear when they're close to defeat. |

| 504 | !!The Raiding Squad Sanseaters |
| 505 | A trio of low-ranking Hashirien generals who constantly bicker with each other. They invade Earth in the hopes of rising through the ranks. |
| 506 | |
| 507 | [[folder:General Tropes]] |
| 508 | * AnimalMotifs: Cats, which is apparent with Itarsha and Yalcar's designs (Less so with Decotorarde, but his head does resemble a lion's mane). Cats also appear in their roll-call. |
| 509 | * BattleCry: “[[GratuitousEnglish Tail to Nose!]]” (the British equivalent to “bumper to bumper”) |
| 510 | * BigThinShortTrio: Itarsha is slimmer than Decotorarde, but is still ''much'' larger than Yayai Yalcar. |
| 511 | * DislikesTheNewGuy: They dislike Cannonborg do to their strict personality (With Yalcar being the most open about it, almost badmouthing Cannonborg only for Itarsha to [[HandGagging silence them]] before Cannonborg could hear that). |
| 512 | * {{Expy}}: Even the production staff has noted that the Sanseaters are styled in the same vein as [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} the Team Rocket Trio]], in consisting of two humanoid figures and a mascot along with constantly making trouble for the protagonists (one of which is voiced by Creator/RicaMatsumoto) while trying to impress their boss figure enough to rise up the ranks. |
| 513 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: They're bad guys, but not bad enough to speed through a crosswalk when an old lady is in the middle of it. |
| 514 | * GoldfishPoopGang: After a few encounters with the Boonboomgers, the Sanseaters have proven themselves to be ''complete jokes'', especially after [=MadRex=]'s arrival on Earth. In fact, it says a lot about how pathetic they are when even the ''mooks'' prove to be better fighters than them. |
| 515 | * JapaneseDelinquent: All of them visually, but ''especially'' Decotorarde. |
| 516 | * LaughablyEvil: Their general ineffectiveness combined with their constant bickering makes them hilarious to watch. |
| 517 | * MasculineFeminineAndrogyneTrio: Yaiyai Yalcar has no gender-specific pronouns, unlike Decotorarde (male) and Itarsha (female). |
| 518 | * PunnyName: "Sanseater" is based on the terms "sanshita" (underling) and "san-seater" ("three-seater", describing a vehicle capacity). |
| 519 | * RiceBurner: The Sanseaters, if not the Hashirien as a whole, are based on kinds of cars with garish and tacky custom modifications. |
| 520 | * StarterVillain: They're the first Hashirien Higher-ups that arrive on Earth, launching the invasion of it. |
| 521 | * TerribleTrio: They're described as a group of idiots that tend to bicker with one another. |
| 522 | * UndyingLoyalty: They're very loyal to [=MadRex=] despite how badly he treats them, even mourning him after he is defeated by the Boonboomgers. |
| 523 | * WellTrainedButInexperienced: #1 heavily implies it was their first outing on Earth. Despite Itarsha already knowing how to make Kurumaju, they fumbled a lot while also being previously unaware that Yalcar had a MakeMyMonsterGrow ability all along. |

| 533 | * LoudOfWar: His microphone staff is equipped with visible speakers on the front. |
| 534 | * PrettyBoy: A subversion. Despite wanting to be an ''ikemen''/イケメン ("handsome guy" in Japanese), at least by Sentai villain standards, he looks like a thug and is a villainous stooge. |
| 535 | * PunnyName: His name is based on ''Dekotora", short for "decorated truck". |
| 536 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: He's black (and a ''very'' dark blue) with red striping and one of the villains. |

| 546 | ---- |
| 547 | * {{Catgirl}}: Her helmet is shaped like cat-ears. |
| 548 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Ka-chink! Ignition~" whenever she creates a Kurumaju. |
| 549 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Not in any physical shaping, but most definitely in her color layout. |
| 550 | * HairTriggerTemper: After Decotorade nicknames her "Hetarsha"[[note]]Pun on "crappy car"; Over-Time translates it as "Ita-sucks-at-darts"[[/note]] in a demeaning fashion for missing a dart throw, she angrily turns the dartboard into a Kurumaju on a whim. |
| 551 | * LightIsNotGood: A cruel villainess despite her stark white armor. |
| 552 | * MakerOfMonsters: Creates Kurumaju from random objects via ignition key. |
| 553 | * PunnyName: Her name is based on "{{Itasha}}", meaning "pain car"[[note]]itself a pun; playing off of flashy ''Ita''lian supercars but substituting a different "ita" that means "pain"[[/note]] and referring specifically the type of car that's decorated with [[TakeThat anime]]. |
| 554 | * PurpleIsPowerful[=/=]PsychoPink: Itarsha's secondary colors are pink and purple, and she is a top general with no sympathy towards others. |
| 555 | * SweetTooth: #10 has her gain a fondness for ''kashiwa mochi'', specifically the ones with coarse red bean paste, grabbing it any chance she gets. |

| 562 | A car-shaped general with a mercurial personality that also dreams of moving up the ranks. They possess the ability to grow Kurumaju by consuming Gyahsoline to spit out, which in turn induces a state of rage that can last for several minutes. They also can shift between multiple sizes depending on the situation. |
| 563 | ---- |
| 564 | * AmbiguousGender: Is referred to with neutral pronouns in promotional material, but uses the masculine ''[[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns ore]]'' and has the mannerisms of a male gangster in-series. |
| 565 | * BabyOfTheBunch: Decotorarde and Itarsha treat them more like a pet than a partner. |
| 566 | * BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: Is the one to run Mira's slimey fiancee off the road. |
| 567 | * ButtMonkey: All of the Sanseaters get more injuries than the other characters in the series, but Yaiyai Yalcar gets the ''absolute lion's share'' of the damage the entire group gets due to being a living Gyahsoline tank. They often fall from great heights after being defeated in car chases, and [=MadRex=] ''violently squished'' them twice in order to absorb the Gyahsoline inside them and grow up. |
| 568 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: Is rather deflated at not making the news. |
| 569 | * EvilCounterpart: They can be seen as this to Bundorio, being the size-shifting RobotBuddy vehicle of the Sanseaters. |
| 570 | * EvilWearsBlack: They are primarily black with yellow parts and is one of the villainous generals. |
| 571 | * KillerRabbit: Looks cute, but is dangerous. |
| 572 | * MadeOfIron: Somehow manages to survive being struck by [=MadRex=]'s drill. |
| 573 | * MakeMyMonsterGrow: One of the most lengthiest processes in ''Sentai''[='=]s history -- they do so by consuming a defeated Kurumaju's Gyahsoline to grow giant themselves, and then teleport to Highway Space where they go on a rampage and the Boonboom Cars have to be deployed to chase them out. Once back on Earth they spit out the Gyahsoline and shrink back down, while the Gyahsoline reforms into a giant version of the Kurumaju. |
| 574 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: They are basically a ''monstrous car with a face'', which is something more expected from a ''MookMobile'' than a general. Also unlike the other Sanseaters, they're "portrayed" by a physical prop than a suit actor. |
| 575 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Yaiyai is no bigger than the ''heads'' of other generals and is seen carried in Itarsha's arms in many scenes. The fact they can sit on top of an oil drum perfectly fine doesn't make them any less of a tough opponent. |
| 576 | * PunnyName: Their name is based on ''Yaruka'', meaning "You wanna fight/wanna piece of me". Their name is also a homage to Anime/PuiPuiMolcar. |
| 577 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Their eyes turn red when going berserk. |
| 578 | * SentientVehicle: They're not only based on cars, but '''they are''' the car. |
| 579 | * {{Sizeshifter}}: They can grow to the size of a large car or a HumongousMecha, or shrink to the size of a cat or even the size of a toy car. |
| 580 | * SuperpoweredEvilSide: Raw Gyahsoline from a defeated Kurumaju automatically triggers them to perform a berserk-state MakeMyMonsterGrow process, though the trope is downplayed as Yalcar is already evil. |
| 581 | * TooDumbToLive: Badmouthing ''Cannonborg'' while within hearing range. ''Twice'' in a row. In the ''same episode''. Within ''minutes'' apart. |
| 582 | * WeaponizedCar: It's a car that can shoot laser beams, missiles, and even bombs. |

| 634 | * LogicalWeakness: While it's able to suck up a lot of things, it's still a Kurumaju created from a vaccum cleaner. Ishiro takes advantage of this by tricking it into sucking up everything at a local junkyard and clogging up its vacuum, stopping it from sucking up anything else. |
| 635 | * NeatFreak: It is obsessed with cleaning up, so much so that when it is brought to a junkyard it feels compelled to suck ''everything'' up. It even carries a feathery brush to either tickle its opponents with or to unleash brush-shaped [[EnergyBall energy blasts]]. |

| 637 | !!Tokei[[note]]"Clock"[[/note]] Grumer |
| 638 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Kento Fujinuma (voice), Hiroyuki Muraoka (suit) |
| 639 | -->Engine: Old clock that no longer works\ |
| 640 | Speed: Fastest in time-delays\ |
| 641 | Custom Weapons: Long-Hand Saber, Short-Hand Blade\ |
| 642 | License Plate Number: 1010 |
| 643 | \ |
| 644 | A Kurumaju created by Itarsha from an old broken clock. |
| 645 | ---- |
| 646 | * BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: It's defeated by getting beaten by Boonboomger Robo Nitoryu in a DualWielding sword fight, whilst wielding two clock hands as weapons. |
| 647 | * BerserkButton: ''Anything that moves'', due to [[FreudianExcuse being a broken clock that no longer moves]]. It'll ignore everything else so long as they stay stationary. |
| 648 | -->'''Tokei Grumer:''' So long as ''I'm'' not moving, ''nobody's allowed to move''!! |
| 649 | * DualWielding: Wields two clock hands named the Long-Hand Saber and the Short-Hand Blade in combat, which it can use for both close combat and to fire {{Sword Beam}}s that can slice anything they come into contact with. |
| 650 | * MythologyGag: Not only is it using clock hand swords just like ''Series/MiraiSentaiTimeranger'', it has special clock-orientation attacks just like theirs, such as its diagonal ''10:10 Slash''. The Boonboomger Robo defeats it with an improvised horizontal ''9:15 Slash''. |
| 651 | * NoSell: It can shrug off Boonboomger Robo's screwdriver attacks because its screws are rusted and stripped, forcing the Boonboomgers to deploy Boonboom Classic to even the odds. |
| 652 | * StealthPun: Its license plate number is 1010. 10:10 is the position clock and watch hands are typically portrayed with. |
| 653 | |
| 654 | !!Sauna Grumer |
| 655 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Toshihide Tsuchiya (voice), Yukimasa Ono (suit) |
| 656 | -->Engine: Public bath sauna\ |
| 657 | Speed: Fastest Sweating\ |
| 658 | Custom Weapons: Aufguss Towel, Hisha Crusher\ |
| 659 | License Plate Number: 0307 |
| 660 | \ |
| 661 | A Kurumaju created by Itarsha from a sauna furnace. |
| 662 | ---- |
| 663 | * ClothFu: Its ''Aufguss Towel'' can be used as a whip. |
| 664 | * GoroawaseNumber: Its license plate number is 0307, which can be read as "sauna". |
| 665 | * ImprovisedWeapon: Aside from its towels, it also weilds a bucket-like weapon called the Hisha Crusher that it uses to shoot energy projectiles with. |
| 666 | * PlayingWithFire: It uses its power to progressively increase the temperature to dangerous levels, causing intense pain to civilians. Rather than actual fire though, it's all done with ''steam'', which is far less localised and more harmful, like a climate change effect. |
| 667 | |
| 668 | !!Darts Grumer |
| 669 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Noboru Yamaguchi (voice); Yasuhiko Imai, Hiroyuki Muraoka (suit) |
| 670 | -->Engine: Stylish Dartboard\ |
| 671 | Speed: Fastest Judgement\ |
| 672 | Custom Weapons: Darts Hat, Darts Bomber, Unlimited Darts\ |
| 673 | License Plate Number: 1440 |
| 674 | \ |
| 675 | A Kurumaju created by Itarsha from a dartboard. |
| 676 | ---- |
| 677 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: He gets easily distracted by a fireworks display via exchanging fire with Boonboomger Robo Police. |
| 678 | * DecisionDarts: A villainous example. If a participant hits any place on his dartboard, he will subject them to various penalties, such as being hit repeatedly by hammers or cream pies. But if anyone manages to hit the bullseye, their ''prize'' is the electric chair, which Bun Red found out the hard way. |
| 679 | * DidntSeeThatComing: Because of its sole focus of making its victims aim for the target board on its left shoulder, it gets heavily bewildered when anyone would purposely aim anywhere ''but'' the board, such as ''its face''. Jou abuses this multiple times, eventually labelling its face as its AchillesHeel because of this reaction. |
| 680 | * ExactWords: He promises to stop the penalty games if someone lands a perfect shot and eventually does so, just never said ''anything'' about a last penalty game for the "winner". |
| 681 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Perfectly nice when you're willing to play darts, but loses its composure hard when someone refuses to play the game. His punishment for those who lose his game can be pretty harsh, but funny, but when Taiya wins it, he straight up ''Electroduces him with an electric chair''. |
| 682 | * HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: Whether they miss or hit the bullseye, his victims are screwed regardless. Jou chooses a third option. |
| 683 | * ImprovisedWeapon: Based on his motif, he shoots explosive darts at his targets including his ultimate move, Darts Bomber. |
| 684 | * LargeHam: Especially when playing his game. |
| 685 | * StealthPun: Its license plate number is 1440. 1-1440 is the point range in a count up darts game with 1440 being the highest point in the game. |
| 686 | |
| 687 | !!Toilet Grumer |
| 688 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Taiki Kimishima (voice); Yasuhiko Imai, Masato Tsutamune (suit) |
| 689 | -->Engine: Western-style toilet\ |
| 690 | Speed: Fastest in cleaning\ |
| 691 | Custom Weapons: Washing Jar, Shurabara Rubber, Backhand Paper\ |
| 692 | License Plate Number: 9090 |
| 693 | \ |
| 694 | A Kurumaju created by [=MadRex=] from a toilet. |
| 695 | ---- |
| 696 | * GoroawaseNumber: Its license plate number is 9090, which reads "kirei kirei", meaning clean or beautiful, reflecting to its "cleaning" ability. |
| 697 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: His desperate attempt to splash both Meita and Mira (who dodges it) after Jou has no negative HiddenDepths to reveal with ends up unlocking Meita's hidden HotBlooded personality and teaming up with the latter to lay a beat down on him. |
| 698 | * LightIsNotGood: Being created from a toilet, he's mostly white, but he's a Kurumaju. |
| 699 | * MixAndMatchWeapon: His ''Shuraba Rubber'' is a cross between a spiked mace and a toilet plunger. |
| 700 | * ToiletHumor: The highest bar ever set in a ''Super Sentai'' series. |
| 701 | * TruthSerum: His water has the ability to "clean" people and reveal [[HiddenDepths the parts of their personality that they hide from the world]]. |
| 702 | |
| 703 | !!Block Bay Grumer |
| 704 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Shogo Teramoto (voice/suit) |
| 705 | -->Engine: Cinderblock wall\ |
| 706 | Speed: Fastest in stopping\ |
| 707 | Custom Weapons: Block Walls, Block Attack, Giant Block\ |
| 708 | License Plate Number: 2629 |
| 709 | \ |
| 710 | A Kurumaju created by Itarsha from a cinderblock wall. |
| 711 | ---- |
| 712 | * AchillesHeel: Even after he uses his Giant Blocks technique which otherwise renders him invulnerable, one of his blocks is a decorative one that isn't as strong as the others, which Boonboomger Robo Builder promptly exploits. |
| 713 | * CripplingOverspecialization: His abilities begin and end at his ability to create sturdy cinderblock walls on a whim. This means that he can't really hurt the Boonboomgers ''back'' and it's only [=MadRex's=] intervention that prevents his fight from being one-sided. |
| 714 | * GoroawaseNumber: His license plate 2629 can be read as "block"/ブロック/''bu-ro-k-ku''. |
| 715 | * LivingStructureMonster: A Kurumaju created from a cinderblock wall and has the appearance of one. |
| 716 | * StoneWall: A literal example. Can create walls that are very hard to deal with, but can't do anything on offense either. |
| 717 | |
| 718 | !!Koinobori Grumer |
| 719 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Hiroyuki Muraoka (voice/suit) |
| 720 | -->Engine: Small Koinobori\ |
| 721 | Speed: Case robbery and delivery delays\ |
| 722 | Custom Weapons: Koinoborod, Noboridama, Koi Dance, Koi Bombs\ |
| 723 | License Plate Number: 0505 |
| 724 | \ |
| 725 | A Kurumaju created by Itarsha from koinobori (giant carp windsocks). |
| 726 | ---- |
| 727 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He's a bit airheaded, as he himself admits. |
| 728 | * GravityScrew: His ''Noboridama'' ability makes things float in the air like ''koinobori'' would. |
| 729 | * MeaningfulName: His license plate 0505 number brings to mind May 5th, which is Children's Day; the holiday is associated with carp streamers. |
| 730 | |
| 731 | !!Antenna Grumer |
| 732 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Kosuke Echigoya (voice), Riichi Seike (suit) |
| 733 | -->Engine: Parabola antenna\ |
| 734 | Speed: Fastest in radio communications\ |
| 735 | Custom Weapons: Baribari Antenna, Toxic Radio Waves, Electrocution Waves, Secret Move Parabola Reversal\ |
| 736 | License Plate Number: 1048 |
| 737 | \ |
| 738 | A Kurumaju created by Itarsha from a rooftop satellite dish. |
| 739 | ---- |
| 740 | * AchillesHeel: The antenna on his head happens to be his weak spot. [[RemovedAchillesHeel This becomes less of an issue when Cannonborg's modifications kick in.]] |
| 741 | * AttackReflector: His ''Secret Move: Parabola Reversal'' allows him to reflect attacks from his satellite dish. |
| 742 | * GoroawaseNumber: His license plate 1048 can be read as ''Den-Ji-Ha''/電磁波/"Electromagnetic Waves". |
| 743 | * PeoplePuppets: His "Toxic Radio Waves" attack allows him to take control of people's bodies and force them to do his bidding, while they're painfully aware of what's going on. |
| 744 | * ShockAndAwe: He can release ''Electrocution Waves'' from his upgraded arm antenna. |
| 745 | * TurnsRed: Cannonborg's modifications allow Antenna Grumer to stand back up after his antenna gets destroyed, and allows him to turn the tables on the Boonboomgers. |
| 746 | |
| 747 | !!Geta Grumer |
| 748 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/KenjiNomura (voice), Yasuhiko Imai (suit) |
| 749 | -->Engine: Old Geta\ |
| 750 | Speed: A lap late in fashion sense\ |
| 751 | Custom Weapons: Dynacinider, 100t Geta, Drone Geta, Virtual Geta Beam\ |
| 752 | License Plate Number: 2008 |
| 753 | \ |
| 754 | A Kurumaju created by Cannonborg from a pair of geta (wooden sandals). |
| 755 | ---- |
| 756 | * DiscoDan: He's presented as a bit of an old-fashioned type as he makes everyone wear ''geta'' rather than modern footwear, and it's reinforced by him wearing a Taisho-era school uniform complete with military-style cap and wielding a wooden training sword. |
| 757 | * MythologyGag: His license plate number, 2008, references the year ''Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger'' started airing. |
| 758 | * TheParalyzer: His 100t Geta attack makes the target wear ''geta'' that weigh 50 tons each, making it impossible for them to walk, let alone run. His ''Virtual Geta Beam'' that he gets as a giant allows him to immobilize Boonboomger Robo without making him wear visible sandals. |
| 759 | * PunnyName: He has design elements close to that of an alligator, with the English shorthand name for it, "gator", being a homophone for the name of his motif. |
| 760 | * VerbalTic: He peppers his sentences with the word "[[PokemonSpeak geta]]". |
| 761 | * WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter: He uses the ''shinai Dynacinider'' as his main weapon. |
