THE DAIRANGER HOME PAGE

GOSEI SENTAI DAIRENJAA
(Five Star Task Force Dairanger)

(The following is slightly revised from my Sentai Manual, and was written very quickly on the basis of articles in TV MAGAZINE. There may be some errors.)

6050 years ago, the Daos civilization flourished in China. The Gorma Tribe tried to take it over. Thus began the war between the Gorma and the Dai Tribe. The battle continued for decades, led by the Gorma Triumvirate. The Chi Transmitting Beasts appeared to oppose the Gorma, whose magical powers had increased to the point where they could turn themselves into monsters. Five Dai warriors' chi powers had increased to the point where they could conrol the Chi Transmitting Beasts. These were the predecessors of the Dairangers of today.

6006 years ago, Kujaku falls into the trap of the Mirror Make-Up Master, and never emerges until 1993. Gara, though then a Dai at that point, hates Kujaku and joins Gorma.

Six years later, Zhang Liao (Chou Ryou), one of the masters of the Chi Transmitting Beasts, defects to Gorma, causing the defeat of the proto-Dairanger team. The war ends with the disappearance of both the Dai and Gorma tribes. Super Chi Transmitting Beast Daimugen takes on the form of the human Kameo.

Zhang Liao lives on, residing in Japan from 1969 to 1974. During this period, he fathers Ryou, who will become Dragon Ranger (Ryuurenjaa).

In 1989, Kou's mother, a member of the Dai Tribe, takes Kou, one of Shadam's twin sons, away from the Gorma and disappears. But after marking Kou with the sign of the tiger, she is captured by the Gorma.

In 1993, the Gorma Tribe, one of its two branches, revived to take over the world. To counter them, Master Kaku assembled a team of five youths with high levels of chi--the Dairangers, the warriors of the Dai Tribe! (Note that although they fight for the Dai Tribe, only Ryou and Lin are really of Dai heritage.) Dragon Star King (Ryuuseiou) is the first of the five Chi Transmitting Beasts to be revived. When the Dairangers obtain the Heavenly Treasure Lai Lai (Tianbaolailai / Tenhourairai) jewels, the other four CT Beasts awaken.At this point, Zhang Liao, knowing Ryou is his son, saves him from Archbishop Liege. Wounded in the process, he sacrifices his chi in order to power the Tianbaolailai jewels for the combination of the five CT Beasts into Dairen'ou and dies.Soon thereafter, Lion Ranger (Shishirenjaa) defeats the Mirror Make-Up Master and releases Kujaku from 6006 years of imprisonment.

Kaku's (Jiaxu's) master, Guhon (Wufan), returns to China, leaving behind the White Tiger True Sword (Byakko Shinken/Baihu Zhenjian) in preparation for Kiba's return.Indeed, Kibaranger (Fangranger) does return. Kou, drawn to the WT True Sword by telepathy, draws it out from a rock. He becomes the sixth Kakuranger, despite interference by his evil twin brother Akomaru. Gorma XV finally appears to order Shadam around (if this is what's really happening...it isn't).The Wontiger and the Kiba Daiou, the combination of 4 CT Beasts and Wontiger, debut.

The Dairangers develop new chi techniques such as the Shooting Star Lightning Flash to counter ever stronger Gorma monsters.Matoba Jin, beaten by Ryou in a duel, returns as the Demon Boxer Jin, powered by Zydos' Black Crystal, for revenge.The team becomes increasingly powerful when Guhon (Wufan) completes the Super Chi Power Bazooka and Kameo remembers after 6000 years that he actually is Daimugen. Daimugen combines with the BT Beasts to form the Heavy Armor Chi Palace for the first time to defeat the Combined Four Deva Kings.

However, on the very day Daimugen goes into action, Gorma XV revives Kou's twin Akomaru from the depths of hell.Jin returns to duel Ryou. This time, he has mastered the Demon Way Wicked Fist Spider Dance style. Zydos and Sergeant Cannon try to defeat both of them, but Jin uses his own body as a shield to protect Ryou.Count Kaleidoscope goes after a weakened Kujaku, trying to lure her with fake 'Tears of the Holy Peacock' which would heal her, but the Rangers defend her.The gigantic Great God Dragon comes down from space to attack both the Rangers and Gorma in order to bring an end to the war. The Rangers cease to fight Gorma...for now.

Zydos turns Jin into the Hungry Wolf Demon (Garouki), but Jin's friendship with Ryou enables him to get the Hunger Demon out of him and revert to normal. Zydos then kills Jin.

Gara uses a wrathful spirit incarnation of herself to attack Kujaku. Kujaku finally finds the true 'Tears of the Holy Peacock', saves Gara, and rises to heaven as the Mahamayuri Vidyaraja (Kujaku Myouou).

Kou is about to become a Gorma on his birthday, 24 December. As the date grows close, Kibaranger lashes out at his fellow Rangers, who do not want to fight him. Kou's twin Akomaru appears, riding his loyal monster, the blue-armored, one-eyed insectoid Ikazuchi (Thunder) to challenge a Kibaranger-less Dairanger team. Finally the truth is revealed: Kou and Akomaru are the younger and older twin sons of Shadam himself! Kou's mother returns, adding her jade ring to the WT True Sword, enabling it to find its lost master. Kou's mother prays to heaven, performing a baptism to purify Kou. It works, and Kou rejoins the Rangers.

Unfortunately, Kaku (Jiaxu) leaves the Rangers to...rejoin Gorma!? Kaku wanted to bring an end to the war between the Rangers and Gorma. He dispatches Lieutenant Shiryuu to force the Rangers to break up. But the Rangers refuse, believing that war is the way to peace [!], even though Shadam promised Kaku that he would stop fighting in exchange for the dissolution of the Rangers. The Rangers defeat Shiryuu with Dairen'ou, forcing Kaku to take matters into his own hands. The Rangers are no match for their own master, now garbed in red armor. Kaku strips them of their Aurachangers and Heavenly Treasure Lailai jewels.

Kaku also takes on Shadam. The winner of the fight will become the new emperor Gorma XVI. If Kaku wins, he will insure that Gorma will be at peace. But having the sources of his power (the Towers of Wicked Power and Chi Power, staffs planted by Shiryuu which transmit energy) destroyed by Zydos and Gara, he is defeated by Shadam's sword and dies in the arms of the Rangers. Zydos grows to giant size and turns into an earthen figure--a fitting fate for such scum, but why?

Meanwhile, General Fields of Plenty (Tenpou Shougun) spots Shadam doing something funny to Gorma XV. Shadam kills him. What is Shadam hiding? Shadam ultimately becomes Gorma XVI when he steals of the Great Earthshaking Jewel from Gorma XV. It turns out that Gara and Gorma XV had died 6000 years ago and had been revived by Shadam's magic as mud figures. (I suppose Zydos too had also died long ago.) The Rangers pursue Gorma XVI into the Gorma Palace, where they struggle against the power of the Great Earthshaking Jewel. But merging the light of their Heavenly Treasure Lailai jewels, they stands up to Gorma XVI. The Great God Dragon returns to wreck the Gorma Palace. Ryou and Shadam duel in human form. Shadam loses and reverts to an earthen figure...was his life also magically prolonged? The war ends.

Or does it? Fifty years later, Gorma returns again, and a new Dairanger team debuts to replace the elderly original team. The new team, the grandchildren of the old, fight against a repainted Baron String aboard the Dairen'ou. The story goes on, but Bandai needs to sell more toys, so the series must end here.

Except for Ryou, Lin, and Kou, the Dairangers are all ordinary humans who transform (tenshin; literally 'turn-body') using Aurachangers that spark their chi powers and generate their Dairensuits of Daimetal and Daifibers that increase their abilities from eight to ten times.

But he lost against Shadam and died. In the VR Troopers miniseries "Quest for Power", there is a scene where Tyler Steele is being watched over by an unnamed Grimlord minion wearing Kaku's red body armor.

[How's this: this is my favorite song from (one of) my favorite episode(s) of my favorite sentai series. It was a Rin episode, in which she falls in love with a Gooma monster, Media Majutsushi, in the disguise of a "media creator" who makes her an idol (this is the song she sings on stage). He plans to siphon off her kiryoku through the photos he takes of her, into innocent people and make them use it for evil, while Rin dies as it is drained away. But he ends up falling in love with her too, and defends her against Gara in a fight on the beach. He is blasted and Rin transforms although she shouldn't have enough kiryoku to, and punches Gara. Gara tosses an enlarging bomb at Media Majutsushi and he enlarges, turned evil again. The Dairangers are forced to kill him but he dies in a shower of light instead of an explosion. In the last scene (which I truly love) Rin is at the beach where the battle with Gara took place, kneeling by the shore. She places a photo of the two of them, taken by Media Majutsushi in his human guise, in the water and lets it be washed out to sea. She sings her song (this one) softly to herself and looks out over the ocean. - Cory Machida.]
