Pollution Ministers

Originally thought to be the last of the Gaiark, the three Pollution Ministers end up on Earth to pollute it to serve as an ideal paradise for them and based themselves at Hellgailles Palace (ヘルガイユ宮殿, Herugaiyu Kyūden), which is powered by the Deus Haguru Magear (デウス・ハグル・マギア, Deusu Haguru Magia), an inexhaustible energy source that Yogostein brought with him from Machine World. Amidst their battle with Yogoshimacritein, the Go-ongers destroy the gear, causing Hellgailles Palace to self-destruct. During the events of the crossover film Samurai Sentai Shinkenger vs. Go-onger: GinmakuBang!!, the Pollution Ministers are rebuilt, but choose not to continue the Gaiark Clan's plans and run off to the bottom of the Sanzu River.

After suffering a string of failures amidst his battles against the Go-ongers and losing his vice-minister, Hiramechimedes, whom he had total faith in, Yogostein goes into self-imposed exile to mourn and find himself before returning to personally seek violent revenge against the Go-ongers. Desiring the Horonderthal Clan's power, he awakens one of its members, lets the Go-ongers scrap it, and uses its parts to upgrade himself into the Horonderthal King in a failed attempt to kill Go-on Red and rust all of Japan. Despite his newfound power, he is weakened by EngineOh G12 and scrapped by Go-on Red in a final duel.[32]

Following Yogostein's death and Yogoshimacritein reducing her to a living shield, Kegalesia leads the Go-ongers to the Deus Haguru Magear before helping Kitaneidas destroy the Bottomless Wastebin to weaken Yogoshimacritein, who scraps them in retaliation.

Due to her nature as a Water Pollution branch member, she can perform the Water Pollution Fusion (害水合身, Gaisui Gasshin) technique with any member of the same branch in order to boost both parties' power.[33]

During the events of Engine Sentai Go-onger: 10 Years Grand Prix, amidst the Pollution Ministers' efforts to stop the Zontark Clan, Kegalesia borrows Go-on Yellow's transformation equipment and briefly transforms into Kega Yellow (ケガイエロー, Kega Ierō).

Originally a second-rate inventor who developed much of the Gaiark's arsenal, he plotted to assassinate Yogostein and take his position. However, the latter recognized the former's brilliance and awarded him with the yardstick-like Hacalibur (ハカリバー, Hakaribā) sword and promoted him to Vice-Minister. This caused Hiramechimedes to loyally devote himself to Yogostein's cause and he would go on to inspire fear in the Engines after achieving numerous victories.

On the day the Gaiark were expelled from Machine World, Hiramechimedes disappeared to mount a failed attack on the Wing Clan Engines before resurfacing in the Human World months later to serve under Yogostein once more. When the Wing Engines pursue him and gain help from the Go-on Wings, Hiramechimedes stages his banishment from the Gaiark in a plot to deceive the Go-ongers and kill Go-on Gold. When the heroes foil him, an ashamed Hiramechimedes refuses to return to Yogostein and spends several days calculating a new plan to kill the Go-ongers. Eventually concluding he needs raw power instead of his intellect, he sneaks back into the Hellgailles Palace and infuses himself with one hundred times the Bikkurium required for a regular Barbaric Machine Beast to undergo an Industrial Revolution. However, the stress of his upgrade breaks his mind as he undergoes a "Big Industrial Revolution" and transforms into the insane Detaramedes (デタラメデス, Detaramedesu).[n] He overpowers the Go-ongers, but is eventually scrapped by Go-on Red.

Despite this, his grudge against the Go-ongers keeps him from passing on. Unable to retake physical form and referring to himself as Urameshimedes (ウラメシメデス, Urameshimedesu),[o] he travels to the Braneworld of Samurai World, possesses a monstrous inhabitant named Bakki, and transforms further into Hirameki Bakki (ヒラメキ伐鬼, Hirameki Bakki) to take revenge on the Go-ongers, only to be exorcised by them.

Hiramechimedes is voiced by Kazuya Nakai.

Yogoshimacritein

Crime Minister Yogoshimacritein (総裏大臣ヨゴシマクリタイン, Sōridaijin Yogoshimakuritain)[p] is the Gaiark's Insurgent Highness (デンカノボウトウ, Denka no Bōtō) and Yogostein's father who wields a two-headed Kanabō-like weapon. As the most ruthless member of the Gaiark Clan, he desired to rule over all of the Braneworlds, having oversaw the near-extinction of the Engines' Gian Race and the destruction of three Braneworlds. After Kireizky arrives in the Human World, Yogoshimacritein uses the former's Bottomless Wastebin to enter the Human World himself and use it to power his Justice Dissolution (正義解散, Seigi Kaisan) attack, which can convert targets into wavelengths so long as the Deus Haguru Magear is active. When he uses his Puppet Regime (傀儡傀儡政権, Kugutsu Kairaiseiken) ability to turn Kitaneidas and Kegalesia into his puppets and reveals his willingness to sacrifice them, the Pollution Ministers assist the Go-ongers in destroying the Bottomless Wastebin and the Deus Haguru Magear to weaken Yogoshimacritein. He destroys his traitorous subordinates and utilizes the Third Industrial Revolution (第三次産業革命, Daisanji Sangyō Kakumei) ability to enlarge himself, but is scrapped by EngineOh G12.

Barbaric Machine Beasts

The Barbaric Machine Beasts (蛮機獣, Bankijū) are monsters created by the Pollution Ministers to pollute the Earth and are, as such, usually divided into three types: Savage Land (害地, Gaichi), Savage Sea (害水, Gaisui), and Savage Sky (害気, Gaiki). The Barbaric Machine Beasts are infused with a special energy called Bikkurium (ビックリウム, Bikkuriumu) that is capable of enlarging them in a process called Industrial Revolution (産業革命, Sangyō Kakumei) and are based on machines or inventions that were present at the turn of the twentieth century. If they are scrapped, the dead Savage Machine Beasts shrink back to normal size and end up at the Savage Machine Beast Graveyard. In the film Engine Sentai Go-onger: Boom Boom! Bang Bang! GekijōBang!!, Yogostein takes advantage of this by developing the Savage Machine Beast program to utilize Ugatz souls to reanimate the Barbaric Machine Beasts into the Recycled Barbaric Machine Beast Army (リサイクル蛮機獣軍団, Risaikuru Bankijū Gundan), only for them to be re-scrapped by the Engines due to being much weaker than they used to be.
