Uchuningun Jakanja 宇宙忍群ジャカンジャ

A ninja force from the stars, the Jakanja. Their boss, is Shuryou Tau Zanto 首領タウ・ザント. He kind of looks like a Buddhist demon, doesn't he? Three of the leaders listed under the heading 上忍 Uenin 暗黒七本槍 Ankoku Shichihonyari were Manmaruba (in charge of planning and foreseeing operations - I think they meant foreseeing literally, he was psychic), Chuuzubo (in charge of the biological ninja corps) and Sargain (in charge of the mecha ninja corps). Their faceless minions are the 下忍 Kenin Magerappa. There were two female villainesses, Wendinu with fluffy pink hair (inventor for the ninja corps) and Furabiijo, who is childlike in an occasionally menacing way. They all live on this Centipede, which I wondered if that might be alive. It's a space-travelling ship, but docked in the ocean and concealed by mists, it was their secret base of operations for the duration of the series.

I have been told the villains were named after the days of the week in English. It sure seems to be true!

Chuzubo, Manmaruba, Sargain

The males who were there at the beginning. Sargain is actually a small insect, the suit is a robot. Chuzubo was the first to die in battle against the Hurricanger and Goraijer, Manmaruba the second and he got to die twice, once by Ikkou's hand but he'd made himself a clone of sorts which er... devolved into a larger and less intelligent beast the hero groups destroyed. Sargain the third and HE died at the hands of Sandaru!! Chuzubo was replaced by Satorakura, who was something of a clown but deadly all the same.


Satorakura, Furabijo, Wendinu

The clown, Satorakura. He loved to make jokes and some of his humor was quite physical, like pies in the face. He would've been sweet if he wasn't so deadly. Sandaru started him on the road to death, but it took Shurikenger to finish him off, as they all went down in flames. Furabijo was sweet, too, in a way. Wendinu seemed quite sensual and usually calm. She did have a bizarre streak. She had a nagging suspicion that something was not kosher about Sargain's death, noticing that the Hurricanger were ignorant of it. While Furabijo marked everyone's scores, Wendinu made their monsters into gigantic form usually by firing out the Copy Giant Robot. She has also fired out Chuzubo's special scroll, and thrown out Satorakura's mask for the purpose. Furabijo and Wendinu were destroyed in battle at Sandaru's side against the heroes.

Furabijo's notepad in which she stamps when one of their monsters is destroyed. Wendinu's bloody big gun she fires to make their footsoldiers giant.


Manmaruba's adult form, and his final form.

Sandaaru Shaakusuiseitou 謝悪彗星刀 Gaingain Kyousenjuu Badoogi, 凶扇獣バドーギ

Sandaaru, a play on words of Sanddollar, possibly. He was the last to arrive, possibly a creature very like Sargain as his body seemed robotic. His blade's name breaks down to "Sorry Evil Comet Sword" (Shaakusuiseitou 謝悪彗星刀) and there's no doubt the Shaaku part is a deliberate pun but it is also the correct pronounciation for that pair of kanji. He was fast as all get out, had gifts like Uchuunenriki (宇宙念力), Cosmos Willpower, and Choukairiki (超怪力), incredible Herculean Strength. He carried this all-too useful mysterious rock called "Fuuin no Ishi" (封印の石) which means Seal Stone and boy, did it. He used it to siphon the heroes' power and turned it into the Ikari no Ya no Medal (怒りの矢のメダル), Raging Arrow Medal, which allowed GainGain to have its very own Karakuri Ball, in which was the lovely Raging Arrow (that should be obvious). Sandaaru's first monster we see is Kyousenjuu Badoogi (Misfortune Fan-beast). His monsters come from his fan. He was the jealous sort, wanted to run all the battles. He died when the Goraijin blew up, taking him with it.


The Hurricanger VS Gaoranger movie will bring us Chubozu, Chuzubo's younger brother.
