Uchu Sentai Kyuranger (宇宙戦隊キュウレンジャー, Uchū Sentai Kyūrenjā) is a Japanese tokusatsu series that serves as the 41st installment in the Super Sentai franchise and the 29th entry in the Heisei era. Much of the series takes inspiration from Greco-Roman mythology while the antagonist faction, Jark Matter, take cues from the shogunates of Japan's Edo period [1] the tyrants of Ancient Greece, and paranormal terminologies.
The eponymous Kyurangers is a team of warriors composed of humanoids, androids, and animalistic aliens from different star systems who serve as members of the Rebellion (リベリオン, Riberion), an insurrection army fighting to liberate the universe from the evil Jark Matter syndicate, using the powers of magical stones called Kyutamas. [2] They operate out of and travel through space in a spaceship called the Orion (オリオン号, Orion-gō, Offensive Resistance Interstellar Orbiter of RebellioN), named after one of the legendary 88 saviors, Orion. [3] After the Orion is destroyed however, they obtain a second, stronger ship called the Battle Orion Ship. [3] [2]
Each primary Kyuranger carries a Seiza Blaster (セイザブラスター, Seiza Burasutā, Constellation Blaster) gauntlet, which they can use to transform, access their Kyutamas' power, [2] [4] and perform the All-Star Crash (オールスタークラッシュ, Ōru Sutā Kurasshu), Kyuren All-Star Crash (キュウレンオールスタークラッシュ, Kyūren Ōru Sutā Kurasshu), and Ultimate All-Star Crash (アルティメットオールスタークラッシュ, Arutimetto Ōru Sutā Kurasshu) finishers. They also each wield a Kyu The Weapon (キューザウェポン, Kyū Za Uepon) sidearm, which can be reconfigured into varying forms and perform the All-Star Impact (オールスタースインパクト, Ōru Sutā Inpakuto) and Double-Star Impact (ダブルスターインパクト, Daburu Sutā Inpakuto) finishers. [2]
Once the Kyurangers have been declared enemies of Jark Matter, the latter's Shogunate establish a bounty of 10.000.000 pongi (ポンギ) for each member. Due to the excess number of team members, the Kyurangers have to conserve the Kyutamas' energy by only allowing a limited number to be deployed on missions, with the team being randomly chosen using a bingo tumbler-like device called the Kyulette (キューレット, Kyūretto) while the others remain on standby if needed.
Once all nine of the original Kyurangers are assembled, the team launches their counterattack on Jark Matter by liberating Earth from their control. They later add three more members, one being their commander and the other two from Earth. After obtaining the Tokei Kyutama, the team splits into two factions; with one staying in the present to rescue one of their companions while the other travels to the past to learn more about Jark Matter's leader, Don Armage. Upon their reunion, the Kyurangers depart from Earth to confront Don Armage on Planet Southern Cross in the Crux System to stop his Planedium Bomb from destroying the entire universe before returning to Earth to confront and defeat Don Armage once and for all. [5]
Lucky (ラッキー, Rakkī) is a naive young man and interstellar traveler with amazing luck and a strong will from Planet Luth (惑星ルース, Wakusei Rūsu) in the Leo Minor System (コジシ座系, Kojishi-za-kei). Because of his interpersonal skills and faith in others, he becomes a key member of the Kyurangers, helping recruit new members and resolve their personal troubles on several occasions. [6] Apparently a man who was blissfully unaware of Jark Matter's universal campaign, Lucky later learns that he is actually a refugee prince from Planet Kaien (惑星カイエン, Wakusei Kaien) in the Leo System (シシ座系, Shishi-za-kei) and a descendant of Orion. The former trait eventually resulted in Lucky becoming his homeworld's king after discovering his father Aslan was supposed to have been murdered by Jark Matter's Fuku Shogun Kukuruga years prior, but was instead brainwashed into one of Don Armage's thralls. With the help of his fellow Kyurangers, Lucky is able to free his father from Don Armage's control before defeating the latter and resuming his intergalactic travels with Garu by his side. [7]

He can also use the Seiza Blaster to perform the Regulus Crush (レグルスクラッシュ, Regurusu Kurasshu) finisher. Unlike the other Kyurangers, Lucky's suit has no unique features. [7] [2]
After his encounter with Orion, Lucky acquires the Saiko Kyutama, which he can use to transform into the white-colored "Miracle Star" (ミラクルスター, Mirakuru Sutā), Shishi Red Orion (シシレッドオリオン, Shishi Reddo Orion). While transformed, he gains the ability to open portals in spacetime and summon any of the Kyurangers' weapons.

[6] Following his brother, Scorpio, betraying their home planet for Jark Matter, [12] Stinger spent the rest of his life searching for him until he was scouted by Shou Ronpo to become the first contemporary Kyuranger, Sasori Orange (サソリオレンジ, Sasori Orenji). [6] [2] Ever since, he spied on Jark Matter for the Rebellion until he blew his cover on Earth to save Kotaro and Jiro. [12] During the intervening years, Stinger witnessed the murder of Doctor Anton's good-half, for which Champ accused him before he cleared up the misunderstanding and going on to become his partner. Amidst his final battle with Scorpio, Stinger injected himself with own venom to use their people's Antares (アンタレス, Antaresu) technique to boost his strength, even in spite of the life-threatening cost before his brother extracted it from him and redeemed himself by giving his life to save the Kyurangers.

[6] Ever since, he lived on the Jark Matter refugee world, Planet Jagjag (惑星ジャグジャグ, Wakusei Jagujagu), until Lucky helped him recover from his trauma and fight for himself. [6] While not the brightest or most patient Kyuranger, Garu is always reliable in battle and goes on to become Lucky's most trusted partner. After Don Armage is defeated, Garu travels with Lucky through space. [15]

[2] [6] After meeting Naga during a robbery in the Ophiuchus System, they formed the BN Team (BN団, Bī Enu-dan, Balance and Naga) and became bounty hunters for Jark Matter until they met Lucky and joined the Rebellion.

Champ (チャンプ, Chanpu) is a happy-go-lucky yet hot-blooded bull-themed fighting robot from the Taurus System (オウシ座系, Oushi-za-kei). [6] [2] Despite his reputation as a ladies' man, he displays incredible loyalty to his friends. While fighting Jark Matter, Champ discovers he was originally built as the Bull-Type General-Purpose Destruction Weapon (牛型汎用破壊兵器, Ushi-gata Hanyō Hakai Heiki) for Jark Matter before the good-half of his creator, Doctor Anton, ran off with him and reprogrammed him to value all life in the universe. [18] [19] Following this, he spent the next nine years as a professional wrestler and became a champion until Anton was assassinated by Scorpio. Champ joined the Rebellion to find his creator's killer, [6] who he believed was Stinger until he learned the truth. After traveling back in time to learn more about Don Armage, Champ stayed behind in the past with Shou Ronpo to ensure the Kyurangers' formation and put his commander in cryogenic stasis. During this time, he learned of his origins, took on the alias of "Yagyu Jubei" (ヤギュウジュウベエ, Yagyū Jūbee), and temporarily left the Kyurangers to find his "old friend" Zero. [19] He eventually rejoins his allies in the present, but Anton's evil-half uses a mind control chip in Champ's circuitry to reinstate his original programming before Stinger saved him. After Don Armage is defeated, Champ returns to the robot wrestling circuit, regaining his championship belt and going on to have a 99-win streak. [20]
As the "Ring Star" (リングスター, Ringu Sutā), Oushi Black (オウシブラック, Oushi Burakku), [2] [6] Champ's main weapon is the Kyu Axe (キューアックス, Kyū Akkusu), which allows him to perform the Aldebaran Impact (アルデバランインパクト, Arudebaran Inpakuto) finisher.

[6] Although his race had long ago sealed their emotions as a result of a catastrophic war on their home planet, his peculiar interest in emotions led to an encounter with Balance and they became bounty hunters. [6] [16] After they met the Kyurangers, Naga quickly befriends them in the hopes of learning more about emotions as well as the difference between good and evil. Amidst their battles against Jark Matter however, Naga becomes troubled by his lack of emotions, leading to him being brainwashed by Don Armage's Fuku Shogun Akyanba into becoming Dark Naga (ダークナーガ, Dāku Nāga) and joining Jark Matter until his allies eventually manage to save him. [21] [22] After Don Armage's defeat, Naga and Balance reform the BN Team and dedicate themselves to retrieving Jark Matter's stolen treasures. [23]

Over time, and following an encounter with a young Hoshi Minato that set her on the path to finding her dream to live on, [25] she became an outspoken woman and member of the Rebellion. After Don Armage is defeated, Hammie attends a university to become a school teacher. [26]
During the events of Uchu Sentai Kyuranger vs. Space Squad , Space Ninja Demost captures Hammie's mentor Tsurukiku and forces her to steal the Space Federation's Neo Kyutama so he can take over Earth.

Raptor 283 (ラプター283, Raputā Ni Hachi San) is a serious and loyal android built on Planet Rebellion (惑星リベリオン, Wakusei Riberion) in the Aquila System (ワシ座系, Washi-za-kei). As she is based on non-combat android designs developed by Tsurugi, she initially served as Shou's secretary and the Orion's chief pilot. [6] Despite this, she is also a daydreamer prone to delusions. After recognizing this, Lucky encourages Raptor to make her dream of becoming a Kyuranger a reality, allowing her to acquire the Washi Kyutama and become Washi Pink (ワシピンク, Washi Pinku). [2] [6] [28]

[2] Often serving as a parent figure to his teammates, he is reliable albeit not always sincere. He likes to make food or cooking-related metaphors based on Italian and Greek cuisines and the Italian language. His dream to become a chef stems from his poor background after his planet was invaded by Jark Matter, which resulted in a food shortage and him taking care of his starving siblings.

[6] [2] He tries to come off as imposing, but ends up behaving more like a mischievous old man. [6] In reality, he is a guilt-ridden individual after losing his predecessor and friend, Big Bear who discourages insubordination within the Kyurangers' ranks for fear of repeating his mistake. [30] Despite this, he is capable of maintaining his composure even in the direst situations. Before forming the Kyurangers, Shou journeyed across various constellations to acquire the Skill Kyutamas, using the Ryu Skill Kyutama to become Ryu Violet (リュウバイオレット, Ryū Baioretto). [2] [31] Encouraged by the other Kyurangers to come to terms with Big Bear's death, he upgrades his Kyutama into a Change Kyutama and gains the ability to transform into Ryu Commander (リュウコマンダー, Ryū Komandā). [2] [30] After traveling back in time to learn more about Don Armage, Shou remained in the past with Champ to ensure the Kyurangers assemble in the future before being put into cryogenic stasis inside the Battle Orion Ship, where his team finds him in the present. [5] Following Don Armage's defeat, Shou becomes the supreme commander of the Rebellion and appoints Stinger as his successor. [32]
Unlike the primary Kyurangers, Shou utilizes the Ryutsueider (リュウツエーダー, Ryūtsuēdā, Dragon Cane) staff, [30] which can switch between Rod Mode (ロッドモード, Roddo Mōdo) and Rifle Mode (ライフルモード, Raifuru Mōdo), to transform into the "Dragon Ma-Star" (ドラゴンマスター, Doragon Masutā), [2] Ryu Violet, later Ryu Commander.

[33] He first met the Kyurangers after he and Jiro were captured by Eriedrone and rescued by Stinger. Inspired by this, Kotaro decides to join the Rebellion, later gaining his own Change Kyutama from the spirit of Shou's predecessor, Big Bear, along with a Seiza Blaster for him to transform into Koguma Skyblue (コグマスカイブルー, Koguma Sukaiburū). [2] [34] [35]

Tsurugi Ohtori (鳳 ツルギ, Ōtori Tsurugi) is the former head scientist of the Tsurugi Ohtori Science Laboratory (鳳ツルギ科学研究所, Ōtori Tsurugi Kagaku Kenkyūjo) from Earth three centuries prior to the series. [2] After becoming the first human to travel into space, he obtained the Houou Kyutama, which granted him immortality, and united the universe as the first president of the Space Federation (宇宙連邦, Uchū Renpō). When Jark Matter was founded to destroy what he established, Tsurugi founded the Rebellion and the original Kyurangers, which he led alongside Orion. However, they faced heavy losses, forcing Tsurugi to sacrifice his immortality in an attempt to destroy Don Armage. [13] When this failed, Orion placed Tsurugi in suspended animation within the spaceship Argo, split its Kyutama into the Ho, Ryukotsu and Tomo Kyutamas, and scattered them across the universe. In the present day, the Kyurangers reform the Argo Kyutama and revive Tsurugi, who discovers Jark Matter erased all records of his past achievements and the original Kyurangers from history before joining them in the fight against Don Armage. During the final battle, he ends up being possessed by Don Armage and forced to absorb Shou Ronpo. [37] However, Lucky rescues them, leaving Don Armage hostless and vulnerable to the Kyurangers' combined powers. After Jark Matter's defeat, Tsurugi reassumes his position as president of the Space Federation. [38]
Unlike the primary Kyurangers or Ryu Commander, Tsurugi utilizes the Houou Blade (ホウオウブレード, Hōō Burēdo) sword and the Houou Shield (ホウオウシールド, Hōō Shīrudo) to transform into the red-colored "Space Bu-Star" (スペースバスター, Supēsu Basutā), Houou Soldier (ホウオウソルジャー, Hōō Sorujā). [13] [2] While transformed, he can use the Houou Blade to perform the Phoenix End (フェニックスエンド, Fenikkusu Endo) finisher.

Tsurugi Ohtori is portrayed by Keisuke Minami (南 圭介, Minami Keisuke). [13] [39]
The Kyutamas (キュータマ, Kyūtama) are magical stones that give the Kyurangers their powers. [40] Each of them are numbered and contain a power associated with a different constellation. They are stored in the Kyurangers' Kyu Buckle (キュウバックル, Kyū Bakkuru), or Ryu Buckle (リュウバックル, Ryū Bakkuru) in the case of Ryu Commander, during battle. By setting their personal Kyutama into the Kyu The Weapon, a Kyuranger can perform an Impact (インパクト, Inpakuto) finisher.
The Change (チェンジ, Chenji) Kyutamas allow the Kyurangers to transform and pilot their Kyu Voyagers. [40]
The Skill (スキル, Sukiru) Kyutamas either give extra powers to the Kyurangers or bring unusual effects that reflect a real-life basis. [40]
These unique Kyutamas possess exclusive attributes. Unlike the Change and Skill Kyutamas, they are inscribed with letters instead of numbers. [40]
These corrupted versions of the Kyutamas inscribed with the Jark Matter emblem were given to Naga Ray at the time of his brainwashing by Akyanba. Naga kept these Kyutamas after he was purified from his brainwashing. [40]
The Kyu Voyagers (キュウボイジャー, Kyū Boijā) [51] are the Kyurangers' mecha, which are each associated with one of the Kyutamas. They were originally stored within the Orion until it was destroyed and they were transferred to the Battle Orion Ship. [52]
The Kyu Voyagers can be assembled into larger mecha via Kyutama Combination (キュータマ合体, Kyūtama Gattai). [51] The finisher for all three robots is the Triple Meteor Break (トリプルメテオブレイク, Toripuru Meteo Bureiku).
The Space Shogunate Jark Matter (宇宙幕府ジャークマター, Uchū Bakufu Jāku Matā) is an organization of aliens that have conquered an untold number of planets, including Planet Earth (惑星チキュウ, Wakusei Chikyū) and the 88 constellations that surround it, [1] with the goal of gathering Planedium (プラネジューム, Puranejūmu), the planets' core energy, for a Planedium Bomb (プラネジューム爆弾, Puranejūmu Bakudan) so they can destroy the entire universe. Their base of operations is located in the Crux System (ミナミジュウジ座系, Minamijūji-za-kei), [5] which is protected by an invisible barrier and heavily guarded.
Don Armage (ドン・アルマゲ, Don Arumage) is the deformed skull-themed leader, or Shogun (ショーグン, Shōgun), [1] of Jark Matter who was born from the collective despair of all life in the universe. [104] Revealing himself when Tsurugi united the universe 300 years prior, Armage established Jark Matter to destroy everything Tsurugi had built to thrive on the resulting misery, increase his power, and become a god. He was seemingly killed while battling Tsurugi, but Armage survived by possessing Tsurugi's ally Cuervo and retaliates by conquering Earth along with erasing records of Tsurugi and his comrades' achievements. Leading Jark Matter for the next 333 years, he oversaw his campaign via holograms from Planet Southern Cross (惑星サザンクロス, Wakusei Sazan Kurosu) in the Crux System, which he also used as a test site for his Planedium Bomb. [105]
After the Kyurangers weakened his forces and destroyed his Planedium Bomb, Don Armage confronted them on Earth, where Cuervo expelled him and forced him to take Tsurugi as his new host, Don Tsurugi (ドン・ツルギ), in an attempt to harness Dark Planedium (ダークプラネジューム, Dāku Puranejūmu) energy until the Kyurangers rescue their ally. [37] [106] Taking on his natural form, he converts every living being in the universe besides himself and the Kyurangers into Planedium energy and absorbs them to assume a new form, [106] but the Kyurangers are able to release them as well, defeating him in the process. In a last-ditch attempt at cheating death, Don Armage implanted a fragment of himself inside Lucky's body in the hopes of eventually resurrecting himself, but this plan backfires and the fragment is forced back into his original body before the Kyurangers permanently finish him off.
Don Armage is capable of possessing others and using their abilities, producing clones, transmit his energy through his holograms, and impart fragments of his essence into others to transform them into monsters. In combat, he and his clones wield the Dark Scythe (ダークサイズ, Dāku Saizu) and the Houou Dark Scythe (ホウオウダークサイズ, Hōō Dāku Saizu) while possessing Tsurugi. [104]
Don Armage is voiced by Atsuki Tani (谷 昌樹, Tani Atsuki). [1] [104]
Cuervo (クエルボ, Kuerubo) is a crow-like alien and former prisoner of Jark Matter's boot camp from Planet Verona (惑星ベローナ, Wakusei Berōna) in the Corvus System (カラス座系, Karasu-za-kei). Three centuries prior, he helped his fellow prisoners escape and was recruited by Tsurugi to become his partner and a member of the original Rebellion before joining him in recruiting 86 other warriors to overthrow Jark Matter. During what appeared to be the final battle against Don Armage, Cuervo seemingly sacrificed himself to save Tsurugi. [41] In reality, he sold his soul to the tyrant in exchange for his life, became his host, and was reborn as Don Armage's thrall, the Hindu cosmology-themed Don Cuervo (ドン・クエルボ, Don Kuerubo); loyally serving him from then on. [44] [37] [104]
While Jark Matter was commencing their final experiments on Dark Planedium on Planet Southern Cross, Cuervo revealed himself to Tsurugi when he and the Kyurangers came to destroy the Planedium Bomb. During the Kyurangers' final battle against Don Armage on Earth, Cuervo revealed he had subverted Armage's will, but willingly helped him in his plans so he could see the destroyed universe recreated as a utopia. However, Don Armage was extracted from his body and he was killed by Tsurugi. [37]
As one of the 88 legendary saviors, Cuervo wields a pair of sai and wears a heliocentrism-themed chest armor. As Don Cuervo, he wields the twin Armaken (アルマ剣, Arumaken) swords. [104]
Cuervo is voiced by Daisuke Namikawa (浪川 大輔, Namikawa Daisuke). [41] [104] As Don Cuervo, his voice is blended together with Atsuki Tani, Don Armage's voice actor. [44]
The Vice Shoguns (フクショーグン, Fuku Shōgun) are the second-highest-ranking members of Jark Matter, serving directly under the Shogun and answering only to him. [69] [104] Instead of a Kyodainro, each of them carry a golden dragon pad on the right shoulder that allows them to enlarge and shrink back to normal size.

Doctor Anton (アントン博士, Anton-hakase) is a scientist who once worked for Jark Matter for several centuries, gradually turning himself into a cyborg to prolong his life. Anton also suffered from dissociative identity disorder before his evil persona transferred itself into a receptacle called the Anton Brain (アントンブレイン, Anton Burein) to stop his good self's ethical meddling and life. [104] [46] This resulted in Anton being able to act independently of his evil-half, allowing him to leave Jark Matter to prevent the newly built Champ from being used for evil and teach his creation to value all forms of life. [18] The good Anton is later murdered by Scorpio while his evil counterpart works for Jark Matter unopposed and transforms a majority of its high-ranking members into cyborgs. [18]
The evil Anton eventually reveals himself to the Kyurangers during their quest to access the Crux System. With Mecha Mardakko's help, he kidnaps Champ and restores his prime directive as a war machine before Stinger destroyed the berserker chip, freeing his ally from the Anton Brain's control.

[19] [104] The first Zero unit is created by Akyanba and Kukuruga using blueprints Doctor Anton left behind in a scheme to destroy the Kyurangers. While originally identical to Champ, the android's casing is destroyed by the real Champ to reveal its true appearance.

[104] [109] He was sent to Earth after the Kyurangers became a threat to Jark Matter's campaign when they defeated Eriedrone and Ikargen. [109] Upon reuniting with Stinger, Scorpio tricks him into believing he joined Jark Matter to kill Don Armage and save the universe. [110] However, he later revealed his true goal was to usurp the tyrant and assume control of Jark Matter for himself. After being defeated by Stinger, Scorpio chooses to save his brother from their people's Antares technique and sacrifice himself to protect the Kyurangers from Don Armage's attack. [13]
In battle, Scorpio's primary ability is to transform the victims of his tail stinger's venom into his zombie-like slaves. [111] While he was originally humanoid like Stinger and their people, Don Armage mutated him into a sea scorpion/crop circle-themed monstrous being with the ability to wrap his tail around his leg and perform a powerful kick attack.

Following Eriedrone's death, he and Mardakko are sent to eliminate the Kyurangers. [43] Ikargen was able to dodge all of their attacks until Lucky used the Futago Kyutama's power to counteract the assassin's biology before he was defeated by the Kyurangers.

Initially a rude and hot-blooded individual, Mardakko is deployed to Earth with her partner Ikargen to eliminate the Kyurangers following Eriedrone's demise, [43] but are killed themselves. Developing secretary mannerisms, then a sensual and flirty persona after a second encounter with the Kyurangers, Don Armage orders her to spy on Scorpio under the guise of becoming his second-in-command. Though Mardakko is killed while in the Space Squad's universe while attempting to steal the Rashinban Kyutama, Scorpio uses a fragment he kept on his person to revive her as an over-dramatic individual. She activates all of the Morimers on Earth to siphon its Planedium before they and Scorpio's Big Morimers are destroyed by Houou Soldier, who kills her in the subsequent duel. Tetchu revives her once more on Planet Toki, though she develops a groupie-like personality and spends more time idolizing the Kyurangers instead of fighting them before they kill her once again.
Following her sixth revival, Mardakko returns to her original personality, became the Karo of the Perseus System, and allows herself to be converted into the cyborg Mecha Mardakko (メカマーダッコ, Meka Mādakko) to become more powerful, while sacrificing her regenerative abilities.
