Main characters

Zyuohgers

The titular Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger is composed of four Zyumans (ジューマン, Jūman), humanoids with animal features from a pocket dimension called Zyuland (ジューランド, Jūrando), and one human who fight together to defend Earth from the Dethgaliens. Each Zyuohger carries a cuboid Zyuoh Changer (ジュウオウチェンジャー, Jūō Chenjā) device, which they use to transform, control their mecha, disguise the Zyuman members as humans, and double as a cellphone, along with a Zyuoh Buster (ジュウオウバスター, Jūō Basutā) sidearm, which has a Gun Mode (銃モード, Jū Mōdo) for performing the Zyuoh Shoot (ジュウオウシュート, Jūō Shūto) finisher and a Sword Mode (剣モード, Ken Mōdo) for performing the Zyuoh Slash (ジュウオウスラッシュ, Jūō Surasshu) finisher. They also possess a Wild Release (野生解放, Yasei Kaihō) ability, which manifests certain features based on their associated animal when activated. The Zyuohgers later gain another human member who was originally captured and brainwashed to fight for the Dethgaliens, but joins their side after he breaks free from the villains' control with their help.

Yamato Kazakiri

Yamato Kazakiri (風切 大和, Kazakiri Yamato) is a young zoologist with empathy for humans and animals alike.

Years later, Yamato discovers the Link Cube (リンクキューブ, Rinku Kyūbu), a structure that serves as the gateway between Earth and Zyuland, and uses the Champion's Proof to travel to the latter location, where he meets four Zyumans who also possess Champion's Proofs. Upon returning to Earth and learning of the Dethgaliens' attack, their Proofs transform into the Zyuoh Changers and allow them to fight back. However, the Link Cube is destroyed during the battle and the fledgling Zyuohgers discover they need six Champion's Proofs to fix it, but the sixth Proof has gone missing. Despite this, Yamato takes in the stranded Zyumans and continues to lead them in their fight against the Dethgaliens. Later in the series, Yamato goes on to discover Bud's connection to Kageyuki and why the latter was unable to see his mother before reconciling with his father.

During the events of the film Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger Returns: Give Me Your Life!

Recurring characters

Bud

Bud (バド, Bado) is a mysterious eagle Zyuman that the Zyuohgers initially referred to as "Bird Man" (鳥男, Tori-otoko) who holds his kind in contempt for their racism towards humanity, which led to him leaving Zyuland, destroying the Link Cube, and stealing the sixth Champion's Proof to sever the connection between the two worlds. While in the human world, Bud was attacked by humans, but rescued by Yamato's father, Kageyuki. In return, Bud rescued Yamato himself and granted the boy some of his Zyuman power despite shortening his lifespan. Using the Champion's Proof to assume a human disguise, Bud later modifies it into a variant of the Zyuoh Changer called the Zyuoh Changer Final (ジュウオウチェンジャーファイナル, Jūō Chenjā Fainaru) so he can transform into Zyuoh Bird (ジュウオウバード, Jūō Bādo) to help the Zyuohgers in their fight against the Dethgaliens. Following the Dethgaliens' defeat, Earth and Zyuland being merged, and peaceful relations being established between the two worlds, Bud departs to travel abroad.

As the orange-colored "Champion of the Heavens" (天空の王者, Tenkū no Ōja), Zyuoh Bird, Bud wields his own version of the EagRiser which allows him to perform the Glide Feather Slash (グライドフェザースラッシュ, Guraido Fezā Surasshu) finisher and his own version of the Riser Spinning Slash. Additionally, he has a similar Wild Release ability as Yamato's, though he can also use his without transforming into Zyuoh Bird. Due to his weakened Zyuman power however, Bud strains himself whenever he transforms.

Bud is portrayed by Kohei Murakami (村上 幸平, Murakami Kōhei).^[3]

Dethgaliens

The Space Outlaws Dethgalien (宇宙の無法者デスガリアン, Uchū no Muhōmono Desugarian) are a group of alien rogues who travel around the universe in a starship called the Sagittariark (サジタリアーク, Sajitariāku) to hunt life on other planets for sport as part of their Blood Game (ブラッドゲーム, Buraddo Gēmu), with the winner chosen by who ever amuses the owner the most. They choose Earth as the venue for their 100th Blood Game due to its apparent lack of defenses, only to encounter and eventually be disassembled by the Zyuohgers.

Ginis

Ginis (ジニス, Jinisu) is a conglomerate of countless Moebas, the owner of the Dethgaliens, and host of the Blood Games who normally resides within the Sagittariark as he is dependent on its power supply. After choosing Earth and losing one of his Team Leaders, Jagged, to the Zyuohgers, Ginis offers his remaining Leaders, Quval and Azald, a special prize for eliminating them. Following multiple failed attempts, Ginis grows bored until Bangray arrives on Earth to hunt Cube Whale. The former tasks Naria with using Gift Custom to compete with Bangray and collect data on Cube Whale, but the Zyuohgers destroy the machine. Despite this, Ginis has Naria save its data, which he later uses to absorb Earth's energy and evolve into Shin Ginis (シン・ジニス, Shin Jinisu) to thwart Quval's attempt on his life. When the Zyuohgers kill Quval and Azald, Ginis decides to end the Blood Game himself by using his cells and the Sagittariark to destroy Earth. While the Zyuohgers destroy the starship, Ginis survives to implant his cells directly into Earth and challenge them to stop him before he destroys the planet. During their fight, he reveals the Blood Games were a means to prove himself as a superior life form, though the Zyuohgers discover his secret. A livid Ginis kills Naria for being nearby when this occurred and enlarges, only to be destroyed by Wild Tousai Dodeka King.

In his original form, Ginis can spawn silver Moeba Medals so his Players can summon Moebas to assist them and upgrade Moeba Medals into gold Continue Medals so his Players can be revived and enlarged. After evolving into Shin Ginis, he gains a pair of wings capable of firing lasers, a pair of swords generated from his arms, and the ability to fire a beam from his palm capable of enlarging Players.

Ginis is voiced by Kazuhiko Inoue (井上 和彦, Inoue Kazuhiko).

Moebas

Moebas (メーバ, Mēba) are amoeba-like extensions of Ginis who are created from Moeba Medals (メーバメダル, Mēba Medaru) to serve as the Dethgaliens' foot soldiers. They also pilot pyramid-like Triangular (トライアングラー, Toraiangurā) fighter crafts.

Gift

Gift (ギフト, Gifuto) is a powerful robotic war machine that Ginis created, but rarely uses in his Blood Games to avoid making the proceedings too one-sided. It is capable of enlarging itself and possesses several weapons at its disposal, such as the Ablation Railguns (アブレーションレールガン, Aburēshon Rērugan), which can destroy entire planets. It is eventually destroyed by Wild Zyuoh King. Ginis later creates the upgraded Mass-Produced Gifts (量産型ギフト, Ryōsan-gata Gifuto) to protect the Sagittariark during his attempt to destroy Earth, though the Zyuohgers destroy them all.

Naria

Naria (ナリア) is Ginis' smithsonite-themed secretary who is usually tasked with bringing Continue Medals (コンティニューメダル, Kontinyū Medaru) to fallen Team Leaders and Players in order to revive and enlarge them. While helping enact Ginis' endgame however, she enlarges herself to protect the Sagittariark, but the Zyuohgers defeat her and cause her to revert to her original size. When she learns her master is composed of countless Moebas, which he had kept secret, she accepts him for what he is and resolves to continue serving him. However, he takes her compassion as an unacceptable insult and kills her.

In battle, she wields the Nunchacrusher (ヌンチャクラッシャー, Nunchakurasshā) nunchaku, which can also be used as a gun.

Naria is voiced by Minako Kotobuki (寿 美菜子, Kotobuki Minako).

Instead of being automated, this model is piloted by Naria. It is destroyed by DodekaiOh, but Naria escapes before then, taking with her a record of battle data that Ginis later uses to evolve into Shin Ginis.

Azald

Azald (アザルド, Azarudo) is a hot-tempered Boleite-themed Team Leader who enjoys making his victims suffer physically and employs Players who utilize brute force. He was originally Azald Legacy (アザルド・レガシー, Azarudo Regashī), an ancient monster who referred to himself as the Cosmic God of Destruction (宇宙の破壊神, Uchū no Hakaishin) and attacked Earth in the past before he was driven off by Cetus. Following this, Azald was found by Ginis, who reconstructed the latter into his current form. Initially watching the 100th Blood Game from the sidelines, Azald personally battles the Zyuohgers after they free Ginis' Extra Player, Misao Mondo, from the Dethgaliens' control. After Bud uses the Whale Change Gun to wound him, Azald regains his memories and full power as Azald Legacy, breaks off from the Dethgaliens, and attempts to destroy Earth. However, the Zyuohgers discover his weakness and eventually destroy him permanently.

In battle, Azald wields the Azald Natta (アザルドナッター, Azarudo Nattā) great sword, possesses a durable cuboid body, and is functionally immortal so long as his core remains intact. As Azald Legacy, he can destroy his surroundings with simple gestures.
