Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger (動物戦隊ジュウオウジャー, Dōbutsu Sentai Jūōjā) is a Japanese tokusatsu series that serves as the 40th installment in the Super Sentai franchise and the 28th entry in the Heisei era. The eponymous Zyuohgers, two humans and five anthropomorphic animals known as "Zyumans", protect the Earth from the evil Dethgaliens, who wish to use the planet as the venue for their latest Blood Game.

Main characters

Zyuohgers

The eponymous Zyuohgers are composed of four Zyumans (ジューマン, Jūman), humanoids with animal features from a pocket dimension called Zyuland (ジューランド, Jūrando), and one human who fight together to defend Earth from the Dethgaliens. Each primary member carries a cuboid Zyuoh Changer (ジュウオウチェンジャー, Jūō Chenjā) device, which they use to transform, control their mecha, disguise the Zyuman members as humans, and double as a cellphone, along with a Zyuoh Buster (ジュウオウバスター, Jūō Basutā) sidearm, which has a Gun Mode (銃モード, Jū Mōdo) for performing the Zyuoh Shoot (ジュウオウシュート, Jūō Shūto) finisher and a Sword Mode (剣モード, Ken Mōdo) for performing the Zyuoh Slash (ジュウオウスラッシュ, Jūō Surasshu) finisher. They also possess a Wild Release (野生解放, Yasei Kaihō) ability, which manifests certain features based on their associated animal when activated. The Zyuohgers later gain another human member who was originally captured and brainwashed to fight for the Dethgaliens, but joins their side after he breaks free from the villains' control with their help.

Yamato Kazakiri

Yamato Kazakiri (風切 大和, Kazakiri Yamato) is a young zoologist with empathy for humans and animals alike. During his childhood, Yamato ran away from home to escape his father, Kageyuki, whom he resented for not being with his dying mother in her final hours, only to get lost during a storm until a mysterious eagle Zyuman, Bud, rescued him and presented Yamato with a Champion's Proof (王者の資格, Ōja no Shikaku),[a], which he kept as a good luck charm ever since.

Years later, Yamato discovers the Link Cube (リンクキューブ, Rinku Kyūbu), a structure that serves as the gateway between Earth and Zyuland, and uses the Champion's Proof to travel to the latter location, where he meets four Zyumans who also possess Champion's Proofs. Upon returning to Earth and learning of the Dethgaliens' attack, their Proofs transform into the Zyuoh Changers and allow them to fight back. However, the Link Cube is destroyed during the battle and the fledgling Zyuohgers discover they need six Champion's Proofs to fix it, but the sixth Proof has gone missing. Despite this, Yamato takes in the stranded Zyumans and continues to lead them in their fight against the Dethgaliens. Later in the series, Yamato goes on to discover Bud's connection to Kageyuki and why the latter was unable to see his mother before reconciling with his father.

As the red-colored "Champion of the Skies" (大空の王者, Ōzora no Ōja), Zyuoh Eagle (ジュウオウイーグル, Jūō Īguru), Yamato can use his Wild Release ability to grant himself a pair of eagle wings to fly at high-speeds and wields the Eagriser (イーグライザー, Īguraizā) sword, which can double as a chain whip and allow him to perform the Riser Spinning Slash (ライザースピニングスラッシュ, Raizā Supiningu Surasshu) finisher. Additionally, Yamato gained enhanced eyesight as a result of his becoming a Zyuohger and acquires additional powers and forms amidst his battles with the Dethgaliens, which are as follows:

During the final battle against Ginis, Yamato is empowered by the Earth's energy and gains the ability to activate a Great Wild Release similarly to his ally Misao Mondo and combine all of his forms' powers.

During the events of the film Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger Returns: Give Me Your Life! Earth Champion Tournament, Yamato uses Cube Condor's power to fuse with Bud and transform into the violet-colored "Champion of the Blue Skies" (蒼穹の王者, Sōkyū no Ōja), Zyuoh Condor (ジュウオウコンドル, Jūō Kondoru), gaining combined usage of both of their abilities and weapons.

Tusk

Tusk (タスク, Tasuku) is an intelligent elephant Zyuman with a sharp sense of smell who comes from a wealthy family, displays a soft spot for Sela, and initially refuses to work with Yamato, believing the human stole his Champion's Proof until he learns of Yamato's past. Following the Dethgaliens' defeat, Tusk goes on to study at a university.

Because of his desire to gain friends and get stronger, he was kidnapped and brainwashed by the Dethgaliens to fight for them as an Extra Player (エクストラプレイヤー, Ekusutora Pureiyā). After being forcibly infused with the power of a rhinoceros, wolf and crocodile Zyuman that the Dethgaliens captured, Misao is transformed into a tricolored artificial Zyuohger called The World (ザワールド, Za Wārudo) and tasked with stopping the Zyuohgers from interfering with their Blood Game. After the Zyuohgers free him from the Dethgaliens' control and he receives encouragement from the souls of the Zyumans whose energy he received, Misao goes on to join the Zyuohgers in stopping the aliens and develop his self-confidence as Zyuoh The World (ジュウオウザワールド, Jūō Za Wārudo). Following the Dethgaliens' defeat and Earth and Zyuland's merging, Misao assists Larry in teaching humanity and Zyumans about each other's backgrounds and begins dating a rhinoceros Zyuman named Lilian.

Recurring characters

Bud

Bud (バド, Bado) is a mysterious eagle Zyuman that the Zyuohgers initially referred to as "Bird Man" (鳥男, Tori-otoko) who holds his kind in contempt for their racism towards humanity, which led to him leaving Zyuland, destroying the Link Cube, and stealing the sixth Champion's Proof to sever the connection between the two worlds. While in the human world, Bud was attacked by humans, but rescued by Yamato's father, Kageyuki. In return, Bud rescued Yamato himself and granted the boy some of his Zyuman power despite shortening his lifespan. Using the Champion's Proof to assume a human disguise, Bud later modifies it into a variant of the Zyuoh Changer called the Zyuoh Changer Final (ジュウオウチェンジャーファイナル, Jūō Chenjā Fainaru) so he can transform into Zyuoh Bird (ジュウオウバード, Jūō Bādo) to help the Zyuohgers in their fight against the Dethgaliens. Following the Dethgaliens' defeat, Earth and Zyuland being merged, and peaceful relations being established between the two worlds, Bud departs to travel abroad.

As the orange-colored "Champion of the Heavens" (天空の王者, Tenkū no Ōja), Zyuoh Bird, Bud wields his own version of the Eagriser which allows him to perform the Glide Feather Slash (グライドフェザースラッシュ, Guraido Fezā Surasshu) finisher and his own version of the Riser Spinning Slash. Additionally, he has a similar Wild Release ability as Yamato's, though he can also use his without transforming into Zyuoh Bird. Due to his weakened Zyuman power however, Bud strains himself whenever he transforms.

Bud is portrayed by Kohei Murakami (村上 幸平, Murakami Kōhei).[3]

Dethgaliens

The Space Outlaws Dethgalien (宇宙の無法者デスガリアン, Uchū no Muhōmono Desugarian) are a group of alien rogues who travel around the universe in a starship called the Sagittariark (サジタリアーク, Sajitariāku) to hunt life on other planets for sport as part of their Blood Game (ブラッドゲーム, Buraddo Gēmu), with the winner chosen by who ever amuses the owner the most. They choose Earth as the venue for their 100th Blood Game due to its apparent lack of defenses, only to encounter and eventually be disassembled by the Zyuohgers.

Ginis

Ginis (ジニス, Jinisu) is a conglomerate of countless Moebas, the owner of the Dethgaliens, and host of the Blood Games who normally resides within the Sagittariark as he is dependent on its power supply. After choosing Earth and losing one of his Team Leaders, Jagged, to the Zyuohgers, Ginis offers his remaining Leaders, Quval and Azald, a special prize for eliminating them. Following multiple failed attempts, Ginis grows bored until Bangray arrives on Earth to hunt Cube Whale. The former tasks Naria with using Gift Custom to compete with Bangray and collect data on Cube Whale, but the Zyuohgers destroy the machine. Despite this, Ginis has Naria save its data, which he later uses to absorb Earth's energy and evolve into Shin Ginis (シン・ジニス, Shin Jinisu) to thwart Quval's attempt on his life. When the Zyuohgers kill Quval and Azald, Ginis decides to end the Blood Game himself by using his cells and the Sagittariark to destroy Earth. While the Zyuohgers destroy the starship, Ginis survives to implant his cells directly into Earth and challenge them to stop him before he destroys the planet. During their fight, he reveals the Blood Games were a means to prove himself as a superior life form, though the Zyuohgers discover his secret. A livid Ginis kills Naria for being nearby when this occurred and enlarges, only to be destroyed by Wild Tousai Dodeka King.

In his original form, Ginis can spawn silver Moeba Medals so his Players can summon Moebas to assist them and upgrade Moeba Medals into gold Continue Medals so his Players can be revived and enlarged. After evolving into Shin Ginis, he gains a pair of wings capable of firing lasers, a pair of swords generated from his arms, and the ability to fire a beam from his palm capable of enlarging Players.

Ginis is voiced by Kazuhiko Inoue (井上 和彦, Inoue Kazuhiko).

Moebas

Moebas (メーバ, Mēba) are amoeba-like extensions of Ginis who are created from Moeba Medals (メーバメダル, Mēba Medaru) to serve as the Dethgaliens' foot soldiers. They also pilot pyramid-like Triangular (トライアングラー, Toraiangurā) fighter crafts.

Gift

Gift (ギフト, Gifuto) is a powerful robotic war machine that Ginis created, but rarely uses in his Blood Games to avoid making the proceedings too one-sided. It is capable of enlarging itself and possesses several weapons at its disposal, such as the Ablation Railguns (アブレーションレールガン, Aburēshon Rērugan), which can destroy entire planets. It is eventually destroyed by Wild Zyuoh King. Ginis later creates the upgraded Mass-Produced Gifts (量産型ギフト, Ryōsan-gata Gifuto) to protect the Sagittariark during his attempt to destroy Earth, though the Zyuohgers destroy them all.

Naria

Naria (ナリア) is Ginis' smithsonite-themed secretary who is usually tasked with bringing Continue Medals (コンティニューメダル, Kontinyū Medaru) to fallen Team Leaders and Players in order to revive and enlarge them. While helping enact Ginis' endgame however, she enlarges herself to protect the Sagittariark, but the Zyuohgers defeat her and cause her to revert to her original size. When she learns her master is composed of countless Moebas, which he had kept secret, she accepts him for what he is and resolves to continue serving him. However, he takes her compassion as an unacceptable insult and kills her.

Instead of being automated, this model is piloted by Naria. It is destroyed by DodekaiOh, but Naria escapes before then, taking with her a record of battle data that Ginis later uses to evolve into Shin Ginis.

Azald

Azald (アザルド, Azarudo) is a hot-tempered Boleite-themed Team Leader who enjoys making his victims suffer physically and employs Players who utilize brute force. He was originally Azald Legacy (アザルド・レガシー, Azarudo Regashī), an ancient monster who referred to himself as the Cosmic God of Destruction (宇宙の破壊神, Uchū no Hakaishin) and attacked Earth in the past before he was driven off by Cetus. Following this, Azald was found by Ginis, who reconstructed the latter into his current form. Initially watching the 100th Blood Game from the sidelines, Azald personally battles the Zyuohgers after they free Ginis' Extra Player, Misao Mondo, from the Dethgaliens' control. After Bud uses the Whale Change Gun to wound him, Azald regains his memories and full power as Azald Legacy, breaks off from the Dethgaliens, and attempts to destroy Earth. However, the Zyuohgers discover his weakness and eventually destroy him permanently.

In battle, Azald wields the Azald Natta (アザルドナッター, Azarudo Nattā) great sword, possesses a durable cuboid body, and is functionally immortal so long as his core remains intact. As Azald Legacy, he can destroy his surroundings with simple gestures.

When Ginis thwarts this however, Quval returns to him and tries to earn his forgiveness by personally killing the Zyuohgers. Despite receiving five Continue Medals to enlarge himself and significantly increase his power, Quval is destroyed by Wild Tousai Dodeka King.

In battle, Quval is armed with the Fasticker (フェイスティッカー, Feisutikkā), which has a blaster and rapier mode, the Switchusha (スイッチュウシャー, Suitchūshā) injector, and the Voltaic Knuckle (ボルテックナックル, Borutekku Nakkuru) gauntlet.

In the process, Bangray forms rivalries with Zyuohger leader Yamato Kazakiri, who is able to resist the hunter's mental powers, and Quval after discovering the latter's true reason for being with the Dethgaliens. Using Quval's memories, Bangray extorts his help in catching Cube Whale in exchange for an alliance to overthrow Quval's leader, Ginis. When both of their plots fail however, Quval betrays Bangray by slicing his forearm off and leaving him with a Continue Medal, which Bangray eats to enlarge himself before he is destroyed by Wild Tousai Dodeka King.
