{{work}}
In the world of [[Zettai Hero Kaizou Keikaku]] (or just Zettai Hero Project, Z.H.P for short) there are many different characters, each with their own goals and motivations.
----

== The Main Character  ==
[[File:Hiro 2197.png|frame]]
The main hero of the story. This [[Hello, Insert Name Here|young man]] was on his way back from picking up the groceries from the store, when all of a sudden he witnesses the one and only Unlosing Ranger [[Look Both Ways|get hit by a car]]. As he lies dying, the Unlosing Ranger, [[Decoy Protagonist|Pirohiko]], entrusts his outfit and Morph Belt to him, thereby allowing him to turn into the new Unlosing Ranger!

...Sadly, he's the Weakest Main Character alive, and gets trounced by [[Final Boss|Darkdeath Evilman]] in seconds.

So, thanks to great timing from the [[Heroes-R-Us|World Hero Society]], he gets transported to [[Bizarro Universe|Bizarro Earth]], where he must train to become powerful enough to defeat Darkdeath Evilman, and save the world!

Tropes associated with the Main Character:
* {{spoiler|[[Abusive Parents]]}} And HOW!
* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: In true Rudolph fashion, nearly everyone else are dicks until the Unlosing Ranger helps them. Even  {{spoiler|the main character's own family had been blaming him for their own problems including wanting a divorce; partly due to his sister's repression of the fact that he was the one who saved her from the Cannibal by occupying it via beating the crap out of the main character enough for the police to arrive.}}
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: The Absoulte Victory Unlosing Ranger. [[Hello, Insert Name Here|You can come up with one as well]].
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Played with. He always comes back to face Darkdeath Evilman, but until the very end, he always gets his ass kicked. Played straight though, when he  {{spoiler|punches a nuke into the SUN before it blows up Japan.}}
* [[But Thou Must!]]: The Main Character has no choice but to become the Unlosing Ranger at the start.
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Clothes Make the Superman]]: ...That, and [[Training from Hell]].
* [[Combination Attack]]: With [[The Rival|Dangerama]], called the Dangerous Unlosing Hurricane.
* [[Cosplay]]: Can equip various bits and pieces from fallen enemies,  {{spoiler|including the Final Boss.}}
* {{spoiler|'''[[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]'''}}
* [[Determinator]]: Shining example, even before becoming the Unlosing Ranger. In a Flashback, it's revealed that he had  {{spoiler|stood up to an insane serial killer / rapist / cannibal who had kidnapped him and his sister}}. He's beaten to a bloody pulp (literally so: he's hospitalized afterwards and his sister is traumatized into amnesia after just from seeing it) but continues to keep standing up, long enough to keep the  {{spoiler|serial killer}} distracted until help arrived. It transfers to his superhero persona very well.
* [[Dude, Where's My Respect?]]: He goes from being called a useless fake who's just there to be a nuisance to  {{spoiler|gaining enough power to punch a nuke into the sun and eventually earning the respect of people all around the world for his unwavering spirit. This rock solid trust and belief in him causes him to power up into the Unlosing Ranger Omega, culminating in him saving the world.}}
* [[Expy]]: He looks a lot like Haruo Yoshikawa from [[Magikano]].
* {{spoiler|[[The Glasses Come Off]]: When he transforms into the True Unlosing Ranger.}}
* [[The Hero]]: Not so much at first, but he grows into one over the course of the game.
* [[Heroic Mime]]
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]:}} Supposedly pulles this off at the very end, when  {{spoiler|he flies a self-destructing Giant Giga Darkdeath Evilman into the sun. But thanks to the Morph Belt, he makes it back in one piece.}}
* [[Hidden Depths]]:  {{spoiler|''not'' a case of [[You Suck]]; he's always been a badass, but no one ever gave him a chance.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Important Haircut]]: He gains one from pure [[Heroic Spirit]] when he learns the special attack "120% Determination", even going so far as to change his portrait in game.}} This marks the point where  {{spoiler|he goes from being insulted by just about everyone -- "The Unlosing Ranger (Temp)", "The Fake Unlosing Ranger", etc. -- to actually gaining some respect.}}
* [[Iron Butt Monkey]]: He dies and gets back up again EVERY TIME.
* {{spoiler|[[Save the Villain]]}}
* [[Unlucky Everydude]]
* [[Visible Silence]]
* [[You Suck]]: [[Hidden Depths|...or does he?]]

== Pirohiko Ichimonji ==
=== Voiced by: [[Kyle Hebert]] (EN) ===
[[File:Range lu 854.png|frame]]
The original  {{spoiler|(not really)}} Unlosing Ranger himself. At the start of the game, he's frantically rushing towards the last boss battle because he overslept. Sadly, this leads to him [[Look Both Ways|not seeing the car that strikes him down.]] Desparate, he gives the Unlosing Ranger suit and Morph belt to the nearest person, who so happens to be the [[Player Character|Main Character.]]

...[[The Hero Dies|Then he dies.]]

But he manages to come back as a [[Spirit Advisor]] towards the Player Character, so that he can help him become a true hero.

Tropes associated with Pirohiko:
* {{spoiler|[[Back from the Dead]]: Twice!}}
* [[The Big Guy]]
* [[Decoy Protagonist]]
* [[Hidden Depths]]:  {{spoiler|Serious case of [[Survivor Guilt]] since the previous Unlosing Ranger died to protect him. Half of the time deeply in denial about his human failings, and half of the time aware of knowing what a hero should be; and ashamed that he couldn't be it.}}
* [[Large Ham]]: [[Mad Libs Catchphrase|HAMMY RANGER!]]
* [[Mad Libs Catchphrase]]: He sometimes ends a statement with "[Noun/Adjective] Ranger!" or, if the opportunity presents itself, something that sounds like [[Calling Your Attacks|an attack name]]. Bondage Ranger!
* {{spoiler|[[Not Quite Dead]]}}
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]
* [[Sleeves Are for Wimps]]
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: [[Played for Laughs]] during his Way of A Hero! segments
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: Pirohiko may come off as an idiot, but truly does understand the requirements and traits of being a hero... in his own way.

== Etranger {{spoiler|a.k.a. Hanakikyo, the Super Baby}} ==
[[File:Super abay 7821.png|frame]]
After the main character loses his first battle to Darkdeath Evilman, she tries to train him so that he can return and defeat him. {{spoiler|She's actually an [[Astral Projection]] of the Super Baby as a preteen.}}

Tropes associated with Etranger:
* {{spoiler|[[Goo-Goo Godlike]]: As the most powerful baby in the world, she's capable of projecting barriers capable of stopping Darkdeath Evilman's attacks, enlarging monsters like Darkdeath Evilman, and projecting herself as a preteen. The only thing she can't seem to do is attack. As a baby, she has yet to learn any attacks, so defending is the best she can do}}.
* [[Hair Antennae]]
* [[Jerkass]]: Acts ''very'' much like this at the start. Her time spent with the main character and Pirohiko and a [[Break the Haughty]] moment soften her up a bit.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]
* [[Little Miss Snarker]]
* [[Magical Girl]]: Her powers let her group see events on Earth by transferring the scenes to their retinas, among other stuff.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Her bunny hat thing.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: See [[Pride]] below.
* [[Pride]]: Very very prideful. {{spoiler|To the point where she enlarges the already unbeatable Darkdeath Evilman to prevent Dangerama, a rival hero, from beating him.}}
* [[Tsundere]]

== Demon General Darkdeath Evilman ==
He shoots laser beams from his eyes! He breathes fire from his mouth! Boasting an appearance proving he is a villain, he is the last boss of this game. {{spoiler|Except that it's only a robotic exoskeleton. The one controlling it, the real Darkdeath Evilman, is actually a [[Child Prodigy]] who lost faith in heroes.}}

Tropes associated with Darkdeath Evilman:
* [[Crazy Prepared]]
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]
* [[Large Ham]]: [[Liam O'Brien]] goes all out for this one.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]
* [[Obviously Evil]]
* [[Sesquipedalian Smith]]: His [[Dub Name Change|original Japanese name]] was Darkdeath Tanaka.
* {{spoiler|[[The Smart Guy]]: Joins up with the Unlosing Ranger in the ending. "Can we hurry it up? I'd really prefer it if my giant robot didn't get another parking ticket."}}
* [[Wham! Episode]]:  {{spoiler|Darkdeath Evilman is really a young boy attempting [[Suicide by Cop|Suicide By Hero]] becuase no one came to save him in the past; he thinks that heroes don't exist becuase of that, and destroys anyone claiming to be one.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: His endgame plan is to selfdestruct the Darkdeath Evilman exosuit, destroying the Earth, if his [[Suicide by Cop|Suicide By Hero]] plan doesn't work out, because then the world would have ''proved'' heroes don't exist.}}

== Reckless Cop Dangerama ==
As the name implies, Dangerama is a stock [[Anti-Hero]] who fights with reckless abandon. Dangerama's the one to protect Super Baby while the Unlosing Ranger trains on Bizarro Earth.  {{spoiler|He's on an extended guilt trip after being forced to kill his one true love. It takes the Unlosing Ranger to get him over it.}}

Tropes associated with Dangerama:
* [[Badass Longcoat]]
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]
* [[Death Seeker]]: He's just looking for a place to die when he first appears.
* [[The Lancer]]: To the Unlosing Ranger (eventually)
* [[Meaningful Name]]: '''Reckless Cop''' Dangerama. His antics are so reckless his TV shows keep getting cancelled!
* [[Nice Hat]]
* [[The Rival]]: To the Unlosing Ranger.
* [[Sadistic Choice]]:  {{spoiler|In Dangerama's backstory, he had to choose who to save between his wife or a lot of people. He chose to save the most people; his sanity hasn't been the same since.}}
