Main characters
Gokaigers
The Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger is a group of young space pirates who seek the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, which leads them to explore Earth. They cross paths with the evil Space Empire Zangyack, who conquered their planets long ago and placed bounties on their heads, they also often indirectly interfere in their exploration of Earth. While originally acting out of personal interest, the Gokaigers' encounters with past Sentai heroes, experiences on Earth, and Gai Ikari's participation in the team result in the core five embracing their predecessors' role as protectors of Earth and its inhabitants.
At the beginning of the series, the Gokaigers' initial bounty collectively starts at Z=3,100,100, with the empire shrugging off their activities. As the series goes on, the Gokaigers' constant interference leads to Zangyack steadily increasing the bounty until the pirates kill Warz Gill-- the Zangyack emperor's son. As a result, the Zangyack Empire brings their bounties to an "Unlimited Reward" for Captain Marvelous, a collective total of Z=15,600,050 for the rest of the crew, and marks all of them as "kill on sight," while the Gokaigers decide to actively fight the Zangyack.
After the death of Akudos Gill and the fall of the Zangyack Empire, Captain Marvelous returns the Ranger Keys and their Great Powers to their respective Sentai warriors before he and his crew depart the Earth, going on a journey to the Zangyack homeworld to find what he presumes to be the Second Greatest Treasure.
During the events of the crossover film Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters vs. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: The Movie, the Gokai Galleon crew are overwhelmed by the Zangyack's new acting leader Bacchus Gill, and feign surrender to obtain the treasure he is seeking. After helping the Go-Busters defeat Bacchus, the Gokaigers leave Earth in the newest Sentai team's hands while they resume looking for treasure throughout the cosmos.
The Gokaigers utilize the Mobilates (モバイレーツ, Mobairētsu) cellphone to transform and summon their Gokai Machines.[1][2][3][4][5] Each of them carries a cutlass-like Gokai Saber (ゴーカイサーベル, Gōkai Sāberu) and a flintlock-like Gokai Gun (ゴーカイガン, Gōkai Gan) as sidearms, both of which can be used in conjunction with Ranger Keys to perform the Gokai Slash (ゴーカイスラッシュ, Gōkai Surasshu) and Gokai Blast (ゴーカイブラスト, Gōkai Burasuto) Final Wave (ファイナルウェーブ, Fainaru Wēbu) finishers, respectively, and the Gokai Scramble (ゴーカイスクランブル, Gōkai Sukuranburu) when used together.[6][7][8] They can also summon additional Ranger Keys based on their Sentai predecessors from their Gokai Buckles (ゴーカイバックル, Gōkai Bakkuru), which is linked to the Gokai Treanger Box.
While working with the Goseigers during the events of the crossover film Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle, both Sentai groups use the power of their predecessors to summon the Super Sentai Bazooka (スーパー戦隊バズーカ, Sūpā Sentai Bazūka). Later in the series, the Gokaigers acquire the Gokai Galleon Buster (ゴーカイガレオンバスター, Gōkai Gareon Basutā), which allows them to perform the Rising Strike (ライジングストライク, Raijingu Sutoraiku) or the Showy Wave (派手にウェーブ, Hade ni Wēbu) finishers via five Ranger Keys.[9] Via the power of the Kamen Rider OOO and Metal Hero Keys, the Gokai Galleon Buster can perform the Showy OOO (派手にオーズ, Hade ni Ōzu) and Metallic Strike (メタリックストライク, Metarikku Sutoraiku) finishers respectively.[10][11][12]
As of succeeding Sentai series Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger, in which the Gokaigers make a guest appearance as part of the 40th Super Sentai anniversary event, they can now assume the form of their Sentai successors up to the Ninningers. As of the web series Twokaizer × Gokaiger: The Tanuki-Charmed June Bride, they gain access to Ranger Keys from all Sentai up to the Zenkaigers.
Captain Marvelous
Captain Marvelous (キャプテン・マーベラス, Kyaputen Māberasu) is the young captain of the Gokaigers whose turn to piracy began after losing his home planet to the Zangyack Empire at a young age and joining the Red Pirates (赤き海賊団, Akaki Kaizokudan) following an encounter with Aka Red.
When the crew was wiped out after being betrayed by Basco ta Jolokia, Marvelous decided to honor his leader's wish by continuing the search for the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, eventually forming his own crew of space pirates whose members also share the same goal. Despite his recklessness earning the ire of his crew, Marvelous is willing to use his authority to save them and/or civilians, even if it means risking his own life. Following the death of Akudos Gill, Marvelous joins Zangyack on two separate occasions after the end of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger; first in the crossover film Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen as part of a collaboration with Tsukasa Kadoya to stop the Dai Zangyack/Dai Shocker alliance, and second in Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters vs. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: The Movie alongside his crew as part of a ploy to prevent Bacchus Gill from abusing the phantom Ranger Keys' power.
During the events of Super Sentai Strongest Battle, Marvelous joins the titular tournament as a member of the Oddball Team with Yamato Kazakiri, Takaharu Igasaki, Stinger, and Kagura Izumi while pursuing his own agenda in tracking down Gaisoulg for attacking his crew prior to the tournament. During the events of Kaizoku Sentai: Ten Gokaiger, Marvelous enters a tournament held by the Bakut Pirates to foil their plan to conquer the universe with the Ranger Keys and reunites with his crew after they disbanded years prior.
On his own, Marvelous possesses brute strength that surpasses normal humans, having achieved this by playing darts with weighted bracelets. As Gokai Red (ゴーカイレッド, Gōkai Reddo), Marvelous focuses on both ranged and close combat styles through dual-wielding of the Gokai Saber and Gun. With Gavan, Marvelous can perform the Gavan Marvelous Dynamic (ギャバンマーベラスダイナミック, Gaban Māberasu Dainamikku) Final Wave. In addition to Gokai Changes, Marvelous can also assume armored forms, which are as follows:
- Gold Mode: A form accessed via Gai Ikari's Gokai Cellular and Gold Anchor Key that grants Marvelous the powers of past sixth Rangers and Gokai Silver's Gokai Spear in Anchor Mode. This form first appears in the video game Super Sentai Battle: Dice-O before making canonical appearances in the Hyper Battle DVD special Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: Let's Do This Goldenly! Roughly! 36 Round Gokai Change!! and Super Sentai Strongest Battle.
- Cross Armor Mode (クロスアーマーモード, Kurosu Āmā Mōdo): An armament accessed from the Gokai Galleon Key that grants a breastplate based on the Gokai Galleon. This form appears exclusively in Kaizoku Sentai: Ten Gokaiger.[13]
- Galleon Armor Mode (ガレオンアーマーモード, Gareon Āmā Mōdo): A stronger variant form based on GokaiOh accessed from combining his Cross Armor with those of the other four Gokaigers'.
Captain Marvelous is portrayed by Ryota Ozawa (小澤 亮太, Ozawa Ryota). As a child, he is portrayed by Tatsuomi Hamada (濱田 龍臣, Hamada Tatsuomi).
Joe Gibken
Joe Gibken (ジョー・ギブケン, Jō Gibuken) is the loyal First Mate of Captain Marvelous and the first to be recruited into the Gokaigers. Originally a member of Zangyack's Imperial Special Forces, Gibken was imprisoned after refusing to kill a group of captive children, and escaped after his mentor Sid Bamick sacrificed himself to delay his pursuers.
While on the run, Marvelous freed Gibken from his tracking collar and the latter had since sworn loyalty to the former as a form of life debt. By the time the Gokaigers arrive on Earth and battle the Zangyack invasion forces, Gibken finds himself in a dilemma after discovering his mentor had been brainwashed and converted into Barizorg until he receives encouragement from Joh Ohara and remembers the times he spent with the Gokaigers, allowing Gibken to put his hesitations to rest, give his former friend a mercy kill to end his suffering, and finally come to terms with his past.
Since his early days as a Zangyack officer, Gibken received swordsmanship training from Bamick and gradually hones his skill outside of the battle against the Zangyack Empire. As Gokai Blue (ゴーカイブルー, Gōkai Burū), Gibken makes use of a dual-wielding swordsmanship style by using his Gokai Saber in addition to another bladed weapon, usually either a spare Gokai Saber from his crew or a bladed weapon taken from an enemy or another Super Sentai warrior. He can also utilize all of his teammates' Gokai Sabers at once to perform the Five-Blade Style Blue Slash (五刀流ブルースラッシュ, Gotōryū Burū Surasshu) Final Wave. Similarly, to Barizorg, Gibken can perform his own version of Bamick's Ittō-ryū Soul Blade attack.
In Kaizoku Sentai: Ten Gokaiger, through the Gokai Galleon Key, Gibken can transform into Cross Armor Mode, gaining the use of a quintuple-bladed, claw-like weapon on his right arm.[13]
Joe Gibken is portrayed by Yuki Yamada (山田 裕貴, Yamada Yuki).
Luka Millfy
Luka Millfy (ルカ・ミルフィ, Ruka Mirufi) is a tomboy who serves as the crew's lookout. Originating from a planet under Zangyack's control, the homeless Millfy and her friend Cain took care of orphans until her little sister, Lia's, death convinced her to leave their planet to secure funds for improving the children's livelihood.
While making ends meet as a thief, Millfy came across Captain Marvelous and Joe Gibken, who saved her during a failed heist, and offered Millfy the position of their reconnaissance and infiltration expert. During her time as a Gokaiger, she acquired a collection of expensive jewelry, which her teammates exploit to pawn off for local currency, much to her dismay. Despite her intense greed for treasures, she still cares for her teammates, especially Ahim de Famille, whom Millfy treats as a surrogate little sister.
Having frequently trained her eyes since childhood, Millfy has developed acute reflexes in combat, which she uses to make up for her relative lack of physical strength. Her training also enables her to spot nearby treasure and distinguish fake gems from real ones. As Gokai Yellow (ゴーカイイエロー, Gōkai Ierō), Millfy fights by dual-wielding Gokai Sabers, which she can either combine into a double-bladed weapon or use as a pair of extendable whips.
In Kaizoku Sentai: Ten Gokaiger, through the Gokai Galleon Key, Millfy can transform into Cross Armor Mode, gaining the use of a quadruple blade launcher on her left leg.
Luka Millfy is portrayed by Mao Ichimichi (市道 真央, Ichimichi Mao).
Don Dogoier
Don Dogoier (ドン・ドッゴイヤー, Don Doggoiyā), nicknamed "Doc" (ハカセ, Hakase), is the cheerful and honest ship mechanic, cook, and caretaker whose seemingly spineless attitude actually hides his true courage, which he shows when his friends are in danger.
Prior to the series, Dogoier was a repairman who Captain Marvelous, Joe Gibken, and Luka Millfy sought out for help in fixing the Gokai Galleon. Impressed with Dogoier's skills in gadgetry, cleaning, and cooking, Marvelous had the repairman shanghaied into his crew ever since.
Despite being a coward even after receiving the mantle of a Gokaiger, the Gokaigers' adventures on Earth have made Dogoier more confident in himself and able to support his teammates more effectively, to the point where he volunteered to develop a new weapon for the team. Due to his background, he was originally dismissed by Zangyack as a lesser threat and assigned him the lowest bounty until his participation in freeing Marvelous from a Zangyack execution and killing lead member Damaras forces Zangyack to treat him as a threat on par with his crewmates.
Due to having little to no martial prowess, Dogoier relies heavily on stealth, trickery, and using the environment around him to improvise attacks, with his clumsiness in battle often ending up looking like he is doing comic slapstick. As Gokai Green (ゴーカイグリーン, Gōkai Gurīn), Dogoier often uses a pair of Gokai Guns since his lack of proper combat training resulted in his preference for long-ranged combat until an encounter with Jyan Kandou convinces the former to consider training his physicality in subsequent battles.
In Kaizoku Sentai: Ten Gokaiger, through the Gokai Galleon Key, Dogoier can transform into Cross Armor Mode, gaining the use of a double-barreled gun on his left arm.
Don Dogoier is portrayed by Kazuki Shimizu (清水 一希, Shimizu Kazuki).
Ahim de Famille
Ahim de Famille (アイム・ド・ファミーユ, Aimu do Famīyu) is a gentle and well-mannered lady as well as the fourth member to join the Gokaigers. She was the princess of the planet Famille before Zatsurig of the Zangyack Imperial Guard destroyed her homeworld and killed her parents for not accepting annexation into the Zangyack Empire as threatened to. While on the run, she came across the Gokaigers by chance and asked to join them so that she can fight the Zangyack forces and inspire hope to other survivors from her home world and any other planet that the Zangyack destroyed. Unlike most of her more trigger-happy and rude teammates or the otherwise spineless Dogoier, Famille usually tries to solve conflicts peacefully. Owing to her royal upbringing, she is also unusually courteous, not only making her the crew's diplomat, but also capable of easing any tension among her teammates, who constantly bickered among themselves before she arrived due to their rougher personalities. She is also the most fascinated with many aspects of common Earth culture as, being raised as royalty, she has very little understanding of life outside of her high society lifestyle. Amidst their battles with Zangyack, Famille and her crewmates would eventually encounter Zatsurig and kill him in battle, avenging her family and homeworld.
During her early days with the Gokaigers, she was practically useless as a pirate due to having no unique utilitarian abilities, zero martial prowess, a tendency for constantly making a mess out of chores with her clumsiness, and being very slow to catch up to anything. By the time the pirates arrive on Earth however, she has since become a competent pirate and fully capable of holding her own in battle. As Gokai Pink (ゴーカイピンク, Gōkai Pinku), she adopted Dogoier's dual-wielding of Gokai Guns. In the crossover film Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle, Famille can perform the Pink Double Attack Part 2 (ピンクダブルアタックパート2, Pinku Daburu Atakku Pāto Tsū) alongside Super Gosei Pink.
In Kaizoku Sentai: Ten Gokaiger, through the Gokai Galleon Key, Famille can transform into Cross Armor Mode, gaining the use of a quadruple cannon on her right leg.
Ahim de Famille is portrayed by Yui Koike (小池 唯, Koike Yui).
Gai Ikari
Gai Ikari (伊狩 鎧, Ikari Gai) is the only Earthling of the group and a Super Sentai fan who was injured while saving a little girl from being hit by a truck. While recovering in the hospital, Ikari was visited in his dreams by the ghosts of Mikoto Nakadai, Time Fire, and Dragon Ranger, who gave him the ability to become Gokai Silver (ゴーカイシルバー, Gōkai Shirubā) and access to their respective teams' Great Powers. Despite being denied membership into the Gokaigers by Captain Marvelous, who did not believe Ikari offered anything unique to the group nor understood the gravity of their situation with the Zangyack Empire, Ikari's enthusiasm and bravery convince the Gokaigers to let him join them.[14][15][16][17]
By himself, Ikari has knowledge on all of the previous Sentai teams and the ability to fuse Ranger Keys using his imagination, having used it on the Go-On Gold and Silver Keys to create the hybrid Go-on Wings Key (ゴーオンウイングスキー, Gōon Uingusu Kī), the Gokai Red and Green Keys to create the Gokai Christmas Key, and all of his sixth Ranger Keys to create the Gold Anchor Key (ゴールドアンカーキー, Gōrudo Ankā Kī).[18] Unlike the core five Gokaigers, Ikari utilizes the Gokai Cellular (ゴーカイセルラー, Gōkai Serurā) to transform and summon his mecha, GouZyuJin.[19] He also wields the Gokai Spear (ゴーカイスピア, Gōkai Supia) sidearm, which has a trident-like Spear Mode (スピアモード, Supia Mōdo) for performing the Gokai Shooting Star (ゴーカイシューティングスター, Gōkai Shūtingu Sutā) Final Wave, a rifle-like Gun Mode (ガンモード, Gan Mōdo) for performing the Gokai Supernova (ゴーカイスーパーノヴァ, Gōkai Sūpānova) Final Wave, and an Anchor Mode (アンカーモード, Ankā Mōdo) for performing the Gokai Legendream (ゴーカイレジェンドリーム, Gōkai Rejendorīmu) and Gokai Legend Crash (ゴーカイレジェンドクラッシュ, Gōkai Rejendo Kurasshu) Final Waves.[20] With the other Gokaigers, he can perform the Gokai Shooting Slash (ゴーカイシューティングスラッシュ, Gōkai Shūtingu Surasshu) Final Wave. Additionally, Ikari can assume the following forms:
- Go-On Wings: A hybrid form based on Go-On Gold and Silver that arms Ikari with two Rocket Daggers.
- Gold Mode (ゴールドモード, Gōrudo Mōdo): An armored form accessed from the Gold Anchor Key that grants increased offense and defensive capabilities at the cost of reduced speed and agility.[21]
- Gokai Christmas (ゴーカイクリスマス, Gōkai Kurisumasu): A special form accessed from the Gokai Christmas Key that arms Ikari with one Gokai Sword and Gun, which allow him to perform the Gokai Christmas Slash (ゴーカイクリスマススラッシュ, Gōkai Kurisumasu Surasshu) Final Wave.
As of Twokaizer × Gokaiger: The Tanuki-Charmed June Bride, he gains access to sixth Ranger Keys from the Go-Busters to the Zenkaigers by attaching the Gokai Tsuiker Unit (ゴーカイツイカーユニット, Gōkai Tsuikā Yunitto) to his Gokai Cellular.
Gai Ikari is portrayed by Junya Ikeda (池田 純矢, Ikeda Jun'ya).
Ranger Keys
The Ranger Keys (レンジャーキー, Renjā Kī) are mysterious items that were originally scattered across the cosmos after the 34 previous Super Sentai sacrificed their powers to defeat the Zangyack Empire's first invasion wave until the Red Pirates gathered them all. Aka Red gave them to Marvelous for safekeeping and so he can use their full potential to find the Greatest Treasure. Normally stored in a treasure chest called the Gokai Treanger Box (ゴーカイトレンジャーボックス, Gōkai Torenjā Bokkusu), the Ranger Keys can be summoned to a Gokaiger's Gokai Buckle via a thought-based teleportation system called the Key Road (キーロード, Kī Rōdo). The Keys allow the Gokaigers to transform, activate their weapons' finishers, and access a previous Sentai team's powers. Whenever the Gokaigers change into a past Super Sentai group, they will sometimes refer to themselves as the "pirated version" (海賊版, kaizokuban) of that team.[lower-alpha 1] After unlocking a Legend Sentai's Great Power, the Gokaigers can use the Ranger Keys to enhance their mecha and access unique powers, such as the Maagi Magi Go Gokai (マージ・マジ・ゴー・ゴーカイ, Māji Maji Gō Gōkai) binding spell as the Magirangers, the Gokai Carmagic Attack (ゴーカイクルマジックアタック, Gōkai Kurumajikku Atakku) as the Carrangers, the Shinken Six Member Slash (シンケン六連斬り, Shinken Rokuren Giri) attack as the Shinkengers, a 6-man variation of the Chouriki Dynamite Attack (超力ダイナマイトアタック, Chōriki Dainamaito Atakku) as the Ohrangers, and the Vector End: Beat Defender (ベクターエンド・ビートディフェンダー, Bekutā Endo Bīto Difendā) attack as the Timerangers.
While the Gokaigers usually transform into a Sentai hero of their corresponding color and have primary personal Ranger Keys, the items are not specific to any of them. Additionally, they can also use a Ranger Key of any color and/or the closest analogue. If the gender of the original hero is different, the Gokaiger's transformed suit will match the corresponding style used for the original team.[lower-alpha 2]
In the film Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle and later in the series, it is revealed that past Sentai warriors are able to regain their powers by claiming their respective Ranger Key. They can also infuse them with their team's Great Power, at the cost of their powers. However, deceased Sentai warriors such as Mikoto Nakadai of the Abarangers and Gai Yuki of the Jetmen still possess their powers.
During the events of the crossover films Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen and Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z, the Gokaigers gain Ranger Keys based on Kamen Rider OOO and six Metal Heroes respectively.[10][11][12]
In the film Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters vs. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: The Movie, the Gokaigers seek out the five Phantom Ranger Keys (幻のレンジャーキー, Maboroshi no Renjā Kī), which are said to unlock the "Greatest Power in the Universe" (宇宙でもっとも巨大な力, uchu de mottomo kyodai na chikara). After joining forces with the Go-Busters, the Phantom Keys transform into Buddyloid Keys, which grant the Gokaigers and Go-Busters the use of Megazord Keys (メガゾードキー, Megazōdo Kī) so they can transform their mecha into those of past Sentai groups.
Gokai Machines
The Gokai Machines (ゴーカイマシン, Gōkai Mashin) are the Gokaigers' personal giant vehicles, each of which are normally stored within the Gokai Galleon in a fashion similar to a Matryoshka doll, with Gokai Trailer as the second largest mecha, the third being Gokai Marine, fourth is Gokai Racer and Gokai Jet being the fifth.
- Gokai Galleon (ゴーカイガレオン, Gōkai Gareon): Gokai Red's three-masted galleon-themed spacecraft that was originally Aka Red's vessel before it became the Gokaigers' base of operations. It is equipped with the Galleon Ram (ガレオンラム, Gareon Ramu), the Galleon Cannons (ガレオンキャノン, Gareon Kyanon), and several beam cannons on its wings.[22] As of Kaizoku Sentai: Ten Gokaiger, the Gokai Galleon was destroyed, but the Gokaigers use its remains to create the Gokai Galleon Key.
- Gokai Jet (ゴーカイジェット, Gōkai Jetto): Gokai Blue's jet-themed Gokai Machine that is armed with a series of beam and vulcan cannons as well as a powerful energy cannon.[23]

Recurring characters
Zangyack
The Space Empire Zangyack (宇宙帝国ザンギャック, Uchū Teikoku Zangyakku)[lower-alpha 3] are a race of aliens who have conquered and destroyed untold numbers of planets across the galaxy and plan to invade Earth for their emperor, Akudos Gill. While the first 34 Sentai teams foiled their first invasion attempt during the Legend War (レジェンド大戦, Rejendo Taisen), Zangyack launches a stronger, second invasion led by the emperor's son Warz Gill from his chariot-like flagship, the Gigant Horse (ギガントホース, Giganto Hōsu), and an armada at his command. They initially see the Gokaigers as a minor nuisance until the pirates kill Warz, forcing Zangyack to make stopping the pirates a top priority and Akudos to come and oversee invasion personally. Ultimately, the Gokaigers destroy a majority of the Zangyack fleet and kill Akudos, dissolving the empire and bringing their reign to an end.
During the events of the crossover film Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen, an alliance of the Sentai teams' revived enemies and Zangyack's remnants form "Dai-Zangyack" (大ザンギャック, Dai Zangyakku) and join forces with Dai-Shocker to manipulate the Super Sentai and Kamen Riders into destroying each other. After the heroes fight back, Dai-Zangyack and Dai-Shocker combine their respective headquarters, the Gigant Horse and Crisis Fortress, to form the Big Machine (ビッグマシン, Biggu Mashin) mecha to destroy them, only for the heroes to defeat them and destroy the Big Machine with Rocket Drill Go-BusterOh.
Warz Gill
Commander Warz Gill (司令官ワルズ・ギル, Shireikan Waruzu Giru) is the hotheaded, inept, petty, and paranoid swash-themed field commander of the Zangyack invasion forces, prince of the Zangyack Empire, and the son of Akudos Gill, whom Warz is desperate to prove himself to. In pursuit of this goal however, he comes off as hysterical, lashing out at the Gormin when his missions end in failures. Warz especially shows anger towards Damaras, whom he knows Akudos sent to watch over him. Despite eventually learning of the Gokaigers' quest for the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, Warz initially sees little point in focusing on them. After being indirectly wounded by Captain Marvelous however, Warz vows to kill the Gokaigers with extreme prejudice. Upon receiving the Great Warz (グレートワルズ, Gurēto Waruzu) war machine, Warz attacks Earth and overpowers the Gokaigers in battle before sending Barizorg to finish them off. Following Barizorg's death however, Warz defies Damaras' concerns and returns to Earth to seek revenge, only to be killed by the Gokaigers via Kanzen GokaiOh.[38][39]
During the events of the crossover film Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen, Warz is revived to serve in Dai-Zangyack. After being enlarged by the Gigant Horse, he fights Go-BusterOh alongside Akudos until they are both killed by the Big Machine.[38]

Chief of Staff Damaras (参謀長ダマラス, Sanbōchō Damarasu) is an armored robot known in the Zangyack Empire as their "Strongest High Ranked Soldier" (最強格の戦士, Saikyōkaku no Senshi) and the "Strongest Man in the Universe" (宇宙最強の男, Uchū Saikyō no Otoko) due to his skills as a general, strategist, and warrior. He is ordered by Akudos Gill to accompany the latter's son, Warz Gill, and assist him as his second-in-command. Due to Warz's personality, Damaras questions his decisions and expresses curiosity in the Gokaigers' reasons for being on Earth. To this end, he sends the Sneak Brothers to infiltrate the Gokai Galleon and learn the pirates' intentions before hiring Basco Ta Jolokia to eliminate the pirates. However, Damaras' efforts to convince Warz to prioritize crippling the Gokaigers' chances of earning Great Powers are hindered by Warz's single-minded focus on Zangyack's invasion of Earth. After the Gokaigers kill Warz, Damaras vows vengeance, but allows Akudos to relieve him of his position and send him to the brig out of shame despite being able to easily escape. Nonetheless, Akudos gives Damaras a chance to redeem himself if he executes the Gokaigers personally. The latter forces Jolokia to help him overpower the Gokaigers while he captures Captain Marvelous, but a combination of Don Dogoier's successful rescue attempt and Jolokia's treachery leaves Damaras wounded before his rematch against the Gokaigers. Damaras gets enlarged, but is killed by Kanzen GokaiOh.[41][42]

She is also charged with enlarging Action Commanders via the Gigant Horse's enlargement cannons and a gun-shaped controller and rarely leaves the flagship. Upon discovering she has no place in the Zangyack hierarchy, she attacks the Gokaigers personally with her giant robot, the Great Insarn (グレートインサーン, Gurēto Insān), to prove her worth to Akudos Gill, only for her robot to be destroyed by Shinken GokaiOh before she is killed by the Gokaigers.[43][44]

Barizorg
Special Duty Officer Barizorg (特務士官バリゾーグ, Tokumu Shikan Barizōgu) is a cyborg who is completely loyal to Warz Gill and hardly speaks unless the situation calls for it. He was originally Sid Bamick (シド・バミック, Shido Bamikku), a senior officer and Joe Gibken's comrade in the Zangyack Imperial Special Forces. However, the former committed treason while freeing the imprisoned Gibken and sacrificed himself covering his friend's escape. Following this, Bamick was forcibly converted into a cyborg by Zangyack scientist Zaien and had most of his memories erased save for his swordsmanship. While Barizorg eventually learns what happened to him, his programming makes him ignore the information. After Warz uses the Great Warz to overpower the Gokaigers, he sends Barizorg to kill them. The latter encounters and faces Gibken in battle, during which he is killed, freeing Bamick's soul.[46][47]
Before he was converted into Barizorg, Bamick was an expert swordsman who could perform the Ittō-ryū Soul Blade (一刀流ソウルブレード, Ittō-ryū Sōru Burēdo) attack, which Barizorg retains following his conversion.

When the Gokaigers kill Wars and Damaras however, Akudos comes to Earth with the entire Zangyack fleet, assumes command of the invasion, and focuses his full attention on the Gokaigers. Once Insarn weakens them, Akudos sends his fleet to Earth to execute a planetary genocide and kill the pirates, but Navi, Captain Marvelous, and Gai Ikari narrowly destroy the fleet. Akudos battles the Gokaigers himself, though they eventually kill him using all of their Sentai predecessors' powers and their personal arsenal.[48]
During the events of the crossover film Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen, Akudos is revived to serve in Dai-Zangyack. After being enlarged by the Gigant Horse, he fights Go-BusterOh alongside Warz until they are both killed by the Big Machine.[48]

Basco Ta Jolokia
Basco Ta Jolokia (バスコ・タ・ジョロキア, Basuko Ta Jorokia)[lower-alpha 4] is an overconfident alien privateer who believes in discarding something of lesser value in order to gain something more valuable and is capable of assuming a human form. Sometime prior to the series, he was originally the Red Pirates' cook and friends with Captain Marvelous, whom Jolokia affectionately refers to as "Marve-chan" (マベちゃん, Mabechan). Jolokia accompanied the Red Pirates in collecting the Ranger Keys until he discovered their leader, Aka Red's, intention to use them to find the Greatest Treasure in the Universe. Following this, Jolokia betrays his comrades to the Zangyack Empire in an attempt to get the Greatest Treasure for himself. While Marvelous escapes with the Ranger Keys the Red Pirates had found up to that point, Jolokia finds 25 more after the fact.
In the present, Jolokia comes to Earth in his starship, the Free Joker (フリージョーカー, Furī Jōkā), after being hired by Zangyack officer, Damaras, to kill the Gokaigers in exchange for having his bounty revoked. Upon learning Marvelous is among them, Jolokia uses 15 of his Ranger Keys to kidnap the former's crew and ransom them for the latter's Ranger Keys. While the Gokaigers are able to escape his clutches and claim the Ranger Keys he used, Jolokia uses his remaining 10 in several attempts to steal the Great Powers before they can get to them. He succeeds in stealing those of the Flashmen, Maskmen, Changemen, Sun Vulcan team, and Fivemen, though the Gokaigers prevent him from stealing the Gingamen, GoGoFive team, and Ohrangers' Great Powers and take the last of his Ranger Keys. In retaliation, Jolokia uses his true form to overwhelm the Gokaigers before sparing them so that they can collect the remaining Great Powers for him.
Due to this, Damaras forces Jolokia to help him kill the Gokaigers to save face with Zangyack emperor, Akudos Gill. Nonetheless, Jolokia fakes the pirates' deaths before figuratively and literally stabbing Damaras in the back, severing ties with the Zangyack, who reinstate and increase the bounty they put on his head. After the Gokaigers collect the last Great Power and he loses the last of his Giant Battle Pseudo-Lifeforms, Jolokia willfully injures his pet space monkey, Sally, and secretly plants a bomb on her in the hopes that the Gokaigers will take pity on her, take her to the Gokai Galleon, and allow her to steal their Ranger Keys. While Sally has a change of heart and sides with the Gokaigers, Jolokia detonates her bomb in an attempt to kill Marvelous. While the blast kills Sally, Marvelous is left grievously injured. The remaining Gokaigers fight Jolokia to avenge their captain, but the privateer overpowers them once more and takes control of their Gokai Galleon so he can imbue the corresponding Ranger Keys with the Great Powers he stole. Before he can reach the Greatest Treasure however, the Gokaigers narrowly retake the Gokai Galleon, but fail to defeat Jolokia until Marvelous returns and faces his former friend in a final duel, during which Jolokia acknowledges Marvelous' determination and addresses him by his proper name. Eventually, Marvelous prevails, causing Jolokia to realize killing Sally was his undoing before he disappears in a cloud of red mist.[85][86]
During the events of the film Uchu Sentai Kyuranger vs. Space Squad, Demost revives Jolokia, among other fallen Sentai villains, to help him in his plans. After the Kyurangers defeat Demost, Jolokia and the other revived villains are returned to the afterlife.[85][86]
In both of his forms, Jolokia wields the CariBlade (カリブレード, Kariburēdo) cutlass and the CariBlaster (カリブラスター, Kariburasutā) gun. In his human form, he wields the Rapparatta (ラッパラッター, Rapparattā) trumpet, which allows him to transform his Ranger Keys into physical constructs to serve him as well as forcibly steal Great Powers from past Sentai warriors and turn them into golden orbs.[85][86]

Due to her ability to create Giant Battle Pseudo-Lifeforms from her stomach hatch, Jolokia protects her until she runs out of them. Hoping to take advantage of the Gokaigers' sympathy, he gives her a bomb disguised as a necklace before injuring her so the Gokaigers will take her in and allow her to steal their Ranger Keys. When the pirates treat her injuries and show her kindness however, a touched Sally attempts to leave Jolokia. However, the privateer reveals his plan and detonates her bomb in an attempt to kill Marvelous. At the last minute, Sally places the bomb in her hatch, sacrificing herself to take the brunt of the blast while Marvelous survives, albeit with grievous injuries.[87]

Niwano defeats a squad of Gormin, but is beaten by Action Commander, Bongan, before Marvelous takes his equipment back and tells Niwano to protect Earth another way while the latter tells him Earth is worth protecting.
