Negative Syndicate (The Villains)

High Priest Gajah of the Gaodom Civilization | Actor: Hiroo Otaka

The priest of a long-dead civilization, who the Boukengers accidentally reawaken in the first episode. Desires to revive his country by conquering the Earth.

Creator King Ryuuwon of the Jaryuu Tribe | Actor: Junpei Morita

An ancient once-human adventurer who transfigured himself into a dragon after being betrayed by his comrades. He despises humanity, and wishes to create a world where only the truly worthy may survive. Often fights against Akashi, due to their similarities.

  • The Dragon: Literally. In respect to the trope, though, he's not a straight example, but he's one of the stronger villains in combat, often takes to the battlefield himself and is the next to last villain to bite it.
  • Humans Are the Real Monsters: His Freudian Excuse.
  • Shadow Archetype: Ryuuon represents a darker side of Akashi, an adventurer that was ridiculed and ended up seeking more power for the revenge of his ridicules in the past.
  • Social Darwinist: Watch how he creates his Jakuryuu.

Dark Shadow

A group of Japanese-based thieves who are out to make big bucks by stealing Preciouses. Consist of Maboroshi no Gekkou (owl), Kaze no Shizuka and Yami no Yaiba.

  • Anti-Villain: They're called Dark Shadow, they're antagonists, but they're the least evil amongst the Negative Syndicate since Gekkou and Shizuka are not interested in causing harm to humanity unlike Gaja, Ryuuon or the Questers, they just want to make a lot of money and can be shown to be friendly to the Boukengers. Yaiba, on the other hand...
  • Genki Girl: Shizuka is genki, but is also a baaad girl.
  • Make My Monster Grow: Gekkou is the most reliable source of this trope with his 'Oogami Henge no Jutsu.
  • Ninja: Yaiba and Shizuka.
  • Owl Be Damned: Maboroshi no Gekkou.
  • Token Evil Teammate: Gekkou and Shizuka can be sympathetic and look like 'just doing their job'. Yaiba is the only straight up villain as he is a darkness-worshipping guy who ends up betraying the whole team for the power of darkness.

Questers

A group of Ashu demons out to make humans suffer and take over the human world. It has a whole army, but only two are in the world: Rei and Gai. They were quickly defeated but came back more powerful and mechanized when Gaja gave them the Godom Engine. They quickly broke out of Gaja's services and worked on their own. They're Eiji's Arch Enemy.

  • Boisterous Bruiser: Gai is a villainous example, combining efficiency, bravado and Troll laugh whenever things go his way.
  • Evil Counterpart: They were made into Questers by Gajah using research on the Boukenger's Parallel Engines.
  • Humongous Mecha: The Quester Robos, most of which were designed specifically to use a particular Precious.
  • Not Quite Dead: Their apparent status between being killed as Ashu and revived as Questers.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: Rei was trapped in a mirror, along with the rest of the Eastern Ashu, until Gai and Hyouga found a way to bring Rei back.
