86
87->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/HiroshiMiyauchi
88
89An ISSIS officer who secretly helped Joker develop J.A.K.Q. He later arrives to replace Joker as J.A.K.Q.'s commander after Joker was called to head an international science conference. Like the other members of J.A.K.Q., he is also a cyborg.
90----
91* ArchEnemy: Of Iron Claw, the two having clashed many times in the past.
92* BreakoutCharacter: Went on to become one of the most celebrated characters in ''Franchise/SuperSentai'', even appearing as the team's representative for both ''[[Series/HyakujuuSentaiGaoranger Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai]]'' and ''[[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gokaiger]]''.
93* TheDandy: He's a very flamboyant fellow.
94* IconicSequelCharacter: One of the most celebrated characters in ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' despite not appearing until the second team in the franchise, which he isn't even an original member of.

96* MasterOfDisguise: He disguises himself at least once per episode.
97* RainbowLite: He has a rainbow motif, which consists of a red, yellow, green and blue striped rainbow.
98* RememberTheNewGuy: He helped Joker develop J.A.K.Q., but was never mentioned before his debut in episode 23, with not even J.A.K.Q. knowing who he was until Joker told them via video call.
99* SixthRanger: Or rather, the "Fifth Jacker". The first Sentai warrior introduced in the middle of a show's run, years before it became a yearly tradition in the franchise with ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger''. But since the main team is composed of four members instead of five, he's not a literal sixth member. As such, he is the TropeMaker for ''Sentai'', though ''Goranger'' provided the UrExample.
100* TheSmartGuy: Banba becomes the tactical mind of J.A.K.Q. after joining it.
101* SpotlightStealingSquad: The original Jackers are reduced to supporting characters following his introduction. Even in later crossovers, such as ''Series/HyakujuuSentaiGaoranger vs. Super Sentai'' and ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'', it is Big One, rather than Spade Ace, who is often representing J.A.K.Q.
102** To put it simply, Soukichi was [[Franchise/PowerRangers Tommy Oliver]] before he existed. Interestingly, both were white rangers in their show's second season.
103* TheStrategist: Banba's plans have defeated Crime's schemes more than once.

142[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/criminal_crime_logo.jpg]]
143A criminal syndicate bent on spreading crime throughout Japan.
144----
145* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: The [[Series/HimitsuSentaiGorenger Black Cross Army]] were a terrorist organization seeking to conquer the world, while CRIME is a criminal organization out to profit off of illegal activities.
146** Also, where Black Cross Führer initially commanded the Monsters of the Week before delegating it to commanders, Iron Claw had his MonstersOfTheWeek commanded by his Crime Bosses (who, were pretty much episodic villains, themselves) before abandoning that setup and commanding the monsters directly.
147** Also, while Black Cross Führer was more inclined to simply replace his commanders (leading them to perish in one final effort to defeat the Gorengers before their successor took command), a Crime Boss was usually be killed for their failure (if they did not end up as a casualty during the Mechanical Monsters fights against J.A.K.Q.).
148* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "Hanzai Soshiki Kuraimu" or '''Criminal''' Organization '''CRIME'''.
149* EnemyCivilWar: A brief one occurs when Shine replaces Iron Claw with Great King Icarus. [[spoiler:It ends with Iron Claw killing Icarus due to him being a DirtyCoward, and Shine reappointing Iron Claw to spot to go and deal with J.A.K.Q.]]
150* MonsterOfTheWeek: In a unique twist on this trope, CRIME uses both literal monsters in the form of the Mechanical Monsters and human villains with the Crime Bosses. The Crime Bosses were later phased out while the Mechanical Monsters were eventually replaced by the Invader Robots.
151* NebulousCriminalConspiracy: CRIME sponsors all sorts of criminal activity, including theft, extortion, drug dealing and murder. It's supported by ties to numerous crime bosses as well as wealthy and influential figures. They're also later revealed to be a front for an AlienInvasion.
152* VillainTeamUp: The remnants of CRIME merge with the remnants of the Black Cross in ''J.A.K.Q. Vs. Gorenger''.

169* LightIsNotGood: Is named "Shine" and appears as a bright light, yet is actually an evil entity out to conquer the world.
170* TheManBehindTheCurtain: [[spoiler:His true form is a plastic ball filled with electronics, with him only projecting the image of an alien conqueror. Even [[TheDragon Iron Claw]] seems disappointed when he finds out.]]
171* TheManBehindTheMan: After 22 episodes with Iron Claw as the apparent leader of CRIME, Shine appears and quickly asserts himself as Iron Claw's superior.
172* NoOneSeesTheBoss: His true appearance is hidden behind a black cloud up until the final episode.
173* RememberTheNewGuy: Similar to Big One, Shine was TheManBehindTheMan to CRIME all along yet was never foreshadowed or hinted at prior to episode 23. It's so abrupt it doesn't even really count as a spoiler, just a status quo change.
174* SinisterSilhouettes: When he reveals himself to J.A.K.Q., his silhouette shows him to be a massive alien being. [[spoiler:It's later revealed to be a ruse, as his true form is much less impressive.]]
175* TakeOverTheWorld: Shine's end goal
176* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:After being tossed by Iron Claw, Shine is last seen on the ground still intact, with his fate afterwards not being shown.]]

198* TheHeavy: For the first two thirds of the series, Iron Claw was the one who oversaw Crime's schemes. Then Shine reveals himself and steps in.

204* UnexplainedRecovery: Despite getting blown up in the finale, Iron Claw somehow returns alive for ''J.A.K.Q. vs Goranger''.
205* VillainousBreakdown: It's subtle but Iron Claw is noticeably bewildered when [[spoiler:he learns that the great alien conqueror he thought he was serving was really just a small electronic ball. All he can do is stare at it in shock.]]
206* YouHaveFailedMe: Kills off any Crime Bosses who fail to defeat J.A.K.Q.
