Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGoFive

Synopsis

Characters

GoGoFive

• Matoi Tatsumi is the oldest of the Tatsumi siblings and the leader of the team as Go Red. He belongs to the Capital Fire Dept. Rescue Squad. He is 24 years old, and takes his duties as a leader and as the eldest brother very seriously. He never backs down from a fight, regardless of how difficult it might be, and sometimes berates his younger siblings when they make mistakes. Matoi does everything "by the book", and rarely makes mistakes. He feels very responsible for his younger brother and sister, as he played a large role in raising them; whilst he is their brother, he also serves as a father figure. He often gets into arguments with Shou. He often argues with his siblings, but mainly out of concern for them and a desire for them to succeed. He was responsible for devising the team's battle cry. His name comes from the word matoi, an ancient object used by firemen during the Edo period Japan to warn people of a fire nearby.
• Nagare Tatsumi is the second son of the Tatsumi family and serves as their second-in-command as Go Blue. He belongs to the Capital Fire Dept. Chemical Extinguishing Team. Nagare spends much of his time looking out for his younger brother, Daimon, though Daimon often ignores his older brother's advice, a trait which often lands him in trouble. Nagare was once suspended because of an injury sustained by Daimon in a fight, despite the fact that he had advised Daimon against becoming involved in the confrontation. Since their youth, they have had a fractious relationship, with Daimon's wayward behaviour often getting Nagare into trouble. Nagare rarely responds to his older brother's chastising. Nagare is very protective of his family, and would sacrifice himself to save the Tatsumi family and the team. He is usually the most serious and intellectual member of the group; Nagare does not rush into a fight without knowing who he is facing. As a chemist, he developed the fire-fighting equipment in his department, as well as the human-sized robot Big Douser. He is 23 years old.
• Shou Tatsumi is the third son of the family who fights as Go Green. He is a helicopter pilot in the Central Fire Dept. Flying Corps. He had always dreamed of being a pilot, and when he first got his job, the whole family celebrated with him, with Matoi even singing karaoke. He then ran out of the room to thank God for granting his wish. Once, after an argument with Matoi relating to his desire to be a pilot outweighing his desire to be a GoGoFive team member, Shou came close to leaving the team. Out of all of the siblings, Shou is the most angry and bitter towards their father. While Nagare does not talk back to their older brother, Shou does, and he constantly argues with Matoi. Shou is a skilled helicopter pilot; he never loses control and is very reliable. Because of this good record, it was a shock to both himself and the team, when during one mission his reckless flying nearly cost the lives of civilians, with an intense argument between Shou and his older brother ensuing. Shou is a cunning and swift warrior, though at times he questions his older brother's leadership. He is 22 years old.
• Daimon Tatsumi is the fourth and last son of the Tatsumi family who fights as Go Yellow. Daimon is a Capital Police Force Sergeant. He is the hothead of the group, and he often rushes into situations before thinking, which can get him into trouble. Angry at his brother Nagare's suspension for something that was not his fault, Daimon sticks up for him. He is somewhat the joker of the team; being the youngest male he can be reckless and cocky. Daimon struggles with the concept of being a team player – one of the reasons he is one of the most common recipients of Matoi's chastisement is because he thinks he can handle any situation on his own without his siblings' help. When the team works together they are far more capable and powerful than when working individually; a lesson that Daimon learns the hard way. He can be somewhat indulgent and has a fiery temper. Although he might rush into a fight, he can still be reliable in an emergency. A wannabe bike cop, he is the only male sibling not in the Fire Department. Obsessed with drinking milk, in Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai, Daimon taught Kai Samezu how to perform his famous "Banba-Style Cow's Killer Milk Tornado Drop", which Samezu eventually uses on Lost Highness Rakushaasa. He is 21 years old.
• Matsuri Tatsumi is the youngest child and only daughter of the Tatsumi family who fights as Go Pink. She is a National Coast Hospital Paramedic. A kind-hearted girl, she is a strong fighter who is very agile and quick. She is motivated by the sight of those weaker than herself in trouble, and she often loses her temper when the Psyma Family attack innocent people. At times, Matsuri is the one that brings order in the household when her brothers get out of line. She is 20 years old.

  Allies

• Professor Mondo Tatsumi is the scientist who created the suits, mecha and weapons for the GoGoFive team. He is also the father of the team members. Ten years before the events of the series, Mondo fails to convince everyone about his belief that the Psyma family will invade Earth despite his eminence. Forced into exile and ridiculed by the scientific community, he secretly develops the GoGoFive technology. At one time, he is a rival to his children's superior; the two try to outdo each other in everything from on-the-job assignments to women and sports. They even fight over who would be in charge of the Kyuukyuu Sentai, causing chaos within the team. In the end, Mondo wins the battle to govern the team. Mondo also builds an undersea base, which has various types of weapons and mecha for the team to use, known as Bay Area 55. To save the Earth and the human race he ends up paying the heavy price of losing his family. Years later, he has to convince his children to help him, in the face of their bitterness and anger towards a father who they thought died years before. His reappearance simply led his children to think that he abandoned their family. In the finale, Mondo flees with his rival when Bay Area 55 floods, and he now lives happily with his family. Mondo briefly comes out of retirement to prepare the GoGoFive equipment, when he detects Pierre's negative energy.
• Ritsuko Tatsumi is the wife of Professor Tatsumi, the mother of the GoGoFive, and the most important person-in-absence in their lives. Her words are portrayed as constantly running through the minds of her children, and keeping them going during their greatest trials and tribulations. when looking for their father, she boarded an aircraft which went on to disappear in the Philippines. She spent the next eight years in an island hospital in a coma. Her five children encountered her soul when they were trapped in the Hades Hell and she guided them out. When she finally regained consciousness, she remembered dreaming about her children fighting terrible monsters. She then contacted their house. Her children's friend, Kyouko Hayase, picked up the call and relayed the message to Daimon and Matsuri, after which they called her back. She appears briefly in episode 42, and is then at last returned to the family, alive and well in 49 and 50. At the end of the series Ritsuko is living with her family again.
• Kyouko Hayase is a shuttle pilot who is Shou's friend. When the GoGoFive rescue her shuttle from a tornado caused by Tornadeus, she is able to recognize Shou's voice on the communications system because the GoGoFive are using the same radio frequency after Daimon accidentally refers to his older brother by name and Shou's usage of his family's motto. Afterwards she stated a desire to join the GoGoFive, but Mondo Tatsumi refused, as the team was always intended to comprise five people. Instead, she occasionally aids the GoGoFive in any way she can. In the finale, Kyouko played an important role; she confirmed that Grandiene was still alive, after detecting her from her shuttle whilst in orbit, and then reporting it to the GoGoFive after she had returned to Earth. Later, when Mondo sent her to give the GoGoFive the information on where to find the Max Victory Robo Sigma Project, just after she barely escaped the destruction of Bay Area 55, Kyouko received a phone call from Ritsuko Tatsumi and was able write down the call back number. Kyouko was able to pass both pieces of information on to Daimon and Matsuri which would be instrumental to the GoGoFive's final victory.
• Juuma Hunter Zeek was the last of a people who had fought and defeated the Juuma; his people were mostly exterminated by the sole surviving Juuma, Golomois. Being the only survivor, Zeek sought revenge and pursued Golomis to Earth where he encountered the GoGoFive, whom he blamed for saving the people in the crossfire instead of fighting Golmois. He came close to fighting them, but hesitated when he noticed that the wounded Kyouko resembled his superior officer Lilia. He healed her before he fought Go Red to a stalemate. When Kyouko arrives, Zeek leaves, as he reveals himself and his intent to kill Golomois before he gets the Dark Sword. As the GoGoFive fight off the Saima, Zeek is mortally wounded. Go Red promises to stop Golomois as he leaves Zeek in Kyouko's care. Near death, and regaining his reason for fighting, Zeek gives Kyouko his gem which holds his Demon Hunter powers in it. He transformed with his jewel by shouting "Zeek Tector!".

• Grand Witch Grandiene is the leader of the Psyma Family and mother to the five siblings, an embodiment of the universe's negative energy. Though Grandiene had set everything up for her arrival in this reality on the day of the Grand Cross in 1999, she only partially manifested as the result of the GoGoFive interrupting the ritual and uses her remaining children to gather enough negative energy for her to complete their transition. After Salamandes's death, Grandiene takes matters into her own hands and uses the evil energies gathered by the Psyma Paradico to complete her passing. Grandiene then sent Cobolda to his death to accomplish her goals, revealing to Zylpheeza that she never really cared for the well-being of her children as he experience with Gill convinced her that they would turn on her and only they served their purpose in her entering the human world. Her body was destroyed by the Max Victory Robo, though her spirit remained and takes possession of the revived and powered up bodies of Zylpheeza and Salamandes. Grandeine is finally destroyed when she is stripped of all power when the Max Victory Robo B-Version defeats Zylpheeza and Salamandes, her bodiless spirit exploding in the upper atmosphere.
• Darkness King Gil is the main antagonist of Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGoFive vs. Gingaman. The true first-born son of the Psyma Family, he attempts to kill Grandiene so she has Pierre dispose of him in the darkest depths of Hell. Surviving the ordeal, Gill becomes stronger and rules over the dead up to now. He is then brought back into the land of the living, by Salamandes, and is bent on summoning the Dark Beast from Hell onto Earth. He plans to do this by using the blood of many people to accomplish this goal. He is fatally wounded fighting Go Red and Ginga Red, but he uses his own blood to complete the ritual before he explodes.
• Eldest Son Dark King Sylph is the demon of Aerial Calamity and Psyma Commander. Actually, the second born son of the Family, Zylpheeza is given the highest title of Dark King and resents humans, but is deeply loving to his siblings and mother. He is admired by Cobolda and Denus. Eventually, Zylpheeza goes to war with them but is first to be destroyed by the Max Victory Robo. After a few attempts, Zylpheeza is resurrected, at the cost of Denus' life. He soon learns the truth about his mother after killing his younger brother Cobolda under her influence. He is then killed by his mother in an effort to destroy the GoGoFive. He is later revived as a puppet, with parts of him turned black, including his eyes. After hearing the words of Nagare and Shou, Zylpheeza awakens, just to be killed again by his youngest brother Salamandes. Zylpheeza is possessed by Grandiene's spirit and transformed into a giant Destruction God. Along with Salamandes, the two are able to destroy the Max Victory Robo, and disable the Grand Liner and the Victory Mars, but both are eventually killed by the Max Victory Robo B Version.
• Second Son Beast Baron Kobold is actually Grandiene's third born son, the Demon of Ground Calamity. He is the strongest of the Psyma Four Siblings and his strategies always rely more in power than thought, giving him a complex when he compares himself with the dexterous warrior Zylpheeza or the cunning strategist Denus. Secretly coveting the rank of Dark King, he tries to take it over after Zylpheeza's death, but is overpowered by Salamandes. He and his older brother Zylpheeza are close because they survived together when they were younger; ironically, near the finale, his mother tricked him to fight the GoGoFive when he is given a new, powerful cannon, and is killed by Zylpheeza who was being controlled by Grandiene.
• Only Daughter Evil Spirit Princess Undine is Grandiene's only daughter and only human-resembling child, the Demon of Aquatic Calamity. Gifted in the arts of disguise, she often uses them to gather information or to cause havoc. Her strategies are particularly cruel and fearsome. She feels great respect for her older brother Zylpheeza. Eventually, her plan to use a pair of Psyma Beast Parasites to siphon off Matoi's life-force to resurrect Zylpheeza fails, when the other GoGoFive are able to separate the male parasite from Matoi, by striking the female parasite on Zylpheeza's chest. Denus, not wanting Zylpheeza to die again, summons the male parasite onto her own chest and sacrifices her life so Zylpheeza could live.
• Dragon Prince Salamander is the youngest, formerly Third Son Infant Demon Drop at the start of the series, the dragon-like Demon of Fire Calamity whose blood possesses regenerative properties. During the first half of the series, Drop was mainly cared for by Pierre with his sorcery and pyrokinesis allowing him to participate with his older siblings despite being a baby. Drop inherits Zylpheeza's Dark King Star upon his death, using its energy to enter a chrysalis state while his soul briefly split off in the form of a pyrokinetic human boy Matsuri befriended before returning to his body once it has fully matured. As Salamandes, using the Dark King Star on his chest to create a sunless Psyma Zone which increases a Psyma Beast's power tenfold, he abuses his position as leader while bossing Cobolda and Denus around. But Salamandes soon begins to lose Grandiene's favor after the GoGoFive use Victory Mars to stop the negative energy asteroid that she sent, worsen after losing the Infinity Card when it was destroyed. He attempts to lure the GoGoFive to the Hades Hell to regain his mother's favor, only for Grandiene to trap all of them there when the hell-bound demons turn on him. But Pierre directs Salamandes into eating all the hellbound demons to escape the Hades Hell, with Salamandes bent on disposing of Grandiene while now about to use human souls into energy through a Hades Tree that Pierre created at an orphanage. When the long-lost mother of one of the orphaned children that the GoGoFive had befriended arrived, her tears weakened the Hades Tree's power. Without the soul energy, Salamandes is destroyed by Victory Mars and Max Victory Robo with only the Dark King Star remaining. In the finale, Pierre manages to convince Grandiene to resurrect Salamandes, who is given command over a revived Zylpheeza. Shou and Nagare were able to convince Zylpheeza that Salamandes is his younger brother Drop, forcing Salamandes to kill him before being defeated when Shou and Nagare counterattacked with their Hyper Mode Go Blasters. Grandiene revives Salamandes as a puppet under her control in a dragon-like Destruction God form. With Zylpheeza, the two demons destroy the Max Victory Robo, and disable the Grand Liner and the Victory Mars, but both are killed by the Max Victory Robo B Version.
• Spell-Master Pierre is the family servant and a fly-themed sorcerer who dominates the Psyma Cards, being able to create and resurrect the defeated Psyma Beasts. Pierre acts as a nanny to the young Drop and is most loyal to him among the siblings. Despite appearing to have been killed when hit by the backlash energy from the Max Victory Robo Sigma Project's sword, it actually turned him into a small fly-like form.
• Juuma King Golmois is the leader of the Juuma Family, a race of demons as evil as the Psyma from another galaxy. Golmois's power is similar to Grandiene's, armed with the Dark Sword and the Shadow Sword. The Juuma Hunters forced most of his tribe into extinction, with only Golmois to remain as he slaughtered all but Zeek, losing his Dark Sword in the process. Golmois arrived on Earth where the Dark Sword landed, forming an alliance with the Psyma Family so he can use them to hold Zeek long enough to reclaim his Dark Sword and assume his true dragon-like giant form. It took the combined force of the Juuma Hunter power and Victory Robo to finally destroy him for good.
• The Familiar spirit are foot soldiers, armed with short swords. The Imps could become Mecha-sized when in the Psyma Zone.
• * The Black Snake Imps are a group of female Imps who serve Denus, with one destroyed by Denus and the other two destroyed by GoGoFive. Pierre revives them as one giant Imp that then divides to become three clones. These clones are destroyed by Max Victory Robo.
