Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger VS Darkdeath Evilman/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


In the world of Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger VS Darkdeath Evilman (or Zettai Hero Project, Z.H.P for short), there are many different characters, each with their own goals and motivations.

The Main Character

The main hero of the story. This 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 get hit by a car. As he lies dying, the Unlosing Ranger, 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 Darkdeath Evilman in seconds.

So, thanks to great timing from the World Hero Society, he gets transported to Bizarro Earth, where he must train to become powerful enough to defeat Darkdeath Evilman, and save the world!

Tropes exhibited by the Main Character include:
  • 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 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. 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 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 Dangerama, called the Dangerous Unlosing Hurricane.
  • Cosplay: Can equip various bits and pieces from fallen enemies, including the Final Boss.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass
  • Determinator: Shining example, even before becoming the Unlosing Ranger. In a Flashback, it's revealed that he had 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 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 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.
  • 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
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Supposedly pulles this off at the very end, when 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: Not a case of You Suck; he's always been a badass, but no one ever gave him a chance.
  • 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 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.
  • Save the Villain
  • Unlucky Everydude
  • Visible Silence
  • You Suck: ...or does he?

Pirohiko Ichimonji

Voiced by: Kyle Hebert (EN)

The original (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 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 Main Character.

...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 exhibited by Pirohiko include:

Etranger a.k.a. Hanakikyo, the Super Baby

After the main character loses his first battle to Darkdeath Evilman, she tries to train him so that he can return and defeat him. She's actually an Astral Projection of the Super Baby as a preteen.

Tropes exhibited by Etranger include:
  • 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. 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. 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 exhibited by Darkdeath Evilman include:

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. 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 exhibited by Dangerama include:
