Chouriki Sentai Ohranger (超力戦隊オーレンジャー, Chōriki Sentai Ōrenjā, Super-Powered Squadron Ohranger) is a Japanese tokusatsu television series and the 19th installment in the long-running Super Sentai metaseries of superhero programs. It aired from March 3, 1995, to February 23, 1996, replacing Ninja Sentai Kakuranger and was replaced by Gekisou Sentai Carranger. It is the second ancient civilization–themed Super Sentai, preceded by Dai Sentai Goggle-V. Its footage was used in the American series Power Rangers Zeo (the closing credits of Zeo referred to it as "O Rangers").

In May 2016, Shout! Factory release "Chouriki Sentai Ohranger: The Complete Series" on DVD in North America in November 2016. Ohranger was released on DVD in North America on November 1, 2016. This is the fourth Super Sentai set to be released in North America.[1] In addition on September 8, 2017, Shout! streamed the series on their website.[2]

Plot[edit]

In the year 1999,[a] the Machine Empire of Baranoia, led by Emperor Bacchushund, invades Earth with the intention of wiping out all human life and bringing about machine rule. Chief of Staff Miura revives super energies that had been born of the lost civilization of Pangaea. Assembling pieces of a stone plate uncovered three years previously, he reveals the secrets of Chouriki. Enlisting an elite five-man team of the U.A.O.H's finest pilots, Miura builds a pyramid to generate Tetrahedron power to allow five U.A.O.H officers to transform into the Ohrangers and stop Baranoia's invasion.

Characters[edit]

Ohrangers[edit]

The Ohrangers (sans King Ranger) transformed.

The titular Chouriki Sentai Ohranger is a group of five soldiers from the U.A.O.H. (ユー・エー・オー・エイチ, Yū Ē Ō Eichi, United Airforce Overtech Hardware) who battle the Machine Empire Baranoia. They were originally normal humans until their body chemistry was slightly altered to utilize Chouriki (超力, Chōriki), a form of energy used by an ancient civilization dating back to the time when all the continents were Pangaea. Their special team attack is the Chouriki Dynamite Attack (超力ダイナマイトアタック, Chōriki Dainamaito Atakku), where the Ohrangers perform multiple mid-air flips and change into an energy ball that destroys Machine Beasts. Their surname bears the number of corners (or in Momo and Juri's case, a circle which has no corners and a = which is just two lines) of their visor's shape, except for Goro's whose surname reflects the shape of his visor (which is a star).

Goro Hoshino[edit]

Goro Hoshino (星野 吾郎, Hoshino Gorō) is a 25-year-old who fights as Oh Red (オーレッド, Ō Reddo). An ace pilot and the team U.A.O.H Captain, Goro is the first to receive his powers. He is a cool-headed and quick-thinking person, though his stubbornness brings him and his teammates much trouble at times. He is an expert in karate, kendo, and judo. The others call him "captain" (隊長, Taichō). Goro also appeared in Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai, along with his fellow Red Rangers from Akarenger to Time Red.

Goro appeared years later in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, where he and his partner Momo created a distraction for the Gokaigers while Goro attempted to negotiate with Basco to gain the location of the Zangyack army. When this fell through, Goro was kidnapped by Basco, but was later rescued by the Gokaiger team. He then grants the Greater Power to the Gokaigers, which allows them to create their GokaiGalleon Buster.

Goro is portrayed by Masaru Shishido (宍戸 勝, Shishido Masaru).

Shouhei Yokkaichi[edit]

Shouhei Yokkaichi (四日市 昌平, Yokkaichi Shōhei) is a 27-year-old second in-command and boxer who fights as Oh Green (オーグリーン, Ō Gurīn). Shouhei is chosen from the same division as Hoshino.

Shouhei is portrayed by Kunio Masaoka (正岡 邦夫, Masaoka Kunio).

Yuji Mita[edit]

Yuji Mita (三田 裕司, Mita Yūji) is a 21-year-old who fights as Oh Blue (オーブルー, Ō Burū). A swift person, Yuji is an expert in fencing and gymnastics. His recklessness makes him the most childish member along with his way of speaking. Yuji uses jumps and mid-air fighting tactics.

As Oh Yellow, she can attack with Lightspeed: Splash Illusion (光速スプラッシュイリュージョン, Kōsoku Supurasshu Iryūjon).

Juri is portrayed by Ayumi Hodaka (穂高 あゆみ, Hodaka Ayumi) [Played as Ayumi Aso (麻生 あゆみ, Asō Ayumi)].

Momo Maruo[edit]

Momo Maruo (丸尾 桃, Maruo Momo), U.A.O.H Lieutenant, is a 20-year-old who uses sanda and aikido and fights as Oh Pink (オーピンク, Ō Pinku). While separated from the others during the Bara Magma incident and losing her Power Brace, Momo is befriended by a German Shepherd named Johnny, referred to by the locals as a divine savior, who brought her to safety. With the help of Shouta, Momo finds Johnny with her Power Brace. She took Johnny's death hard as she avenged his death, only to find that he was still alive.

Momo appeared in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger and led the Gokaigers to believe she had in her possession the Greater Power of the Ohrangers, and would give it to the Gokaigers freely if they did errands for her. This was later revealed to be a ruse to keep the Gokaigers distracted.

As Oh Pink, she can attack with Flashing: Miracle Chi Kung Shot (閃光ミラクル気功弾, Senkō Mirakuru Kikōdan).

Momo is portrayed by Tamao Satō (さとう 珠緒, Satō Tamao) [Played as Tamao (珠緒)].

Allies[edit]

Gunmajin[edit]

Gunmajin (ガンマジン, Ganmajin, 37, 38, 40, 41, 44, 48 & Ohranger vs. Kakuranger) is an ancient warrior known for his honor and courage. According to Riki, Gunmajin appeared once 600 million years ago. Imprisoned within the form of a tiny tiki, the only way to unlock his power is by placing a key into his forehead and reciting the magic words "Gunma Gunma Dondoko Gunma" (ガンマガンマ ドンドコガンマ, Ganma Ganma Dondoko Ganma). For some reason, the key always ended up in the hands of a child and everyone knew the magic words after hearing them. When awakened, Gunmajin would grant a single wish to his discoverer as long as it didn't mean harm to anyone. There were times in which he simply didn't like the wish and refused to grant it or punish his awakener for lying to him. Gunmajin possessed the Mazin Saber (マジンサーベル, Majin Sāberu) through which he focused his power into the Majin One Sword Style (マジン一刀流, Majin Ittō Ryū) of Majin One Sword Fencing (Fire, Lightning, Wind, and Light). His back can act as a shield to defend himself and others (even King Pyramider's beam). In the series finale, he took Acha, Kocha, and Buldont, Jr. to his care. In Ohranger vs. Kakuranger, he is revealed to be terrified of Youkai (monsters fought by the Kakurangers).

Gunmajin is voiced by Akira Kamiya (神谷 明, Kamiya Akira).

Ohranger Robo[edit]

Super-Powered Combination Ohranger Robo (超力合体オーレンジャーロボ, Chōriki Gattai Ōrenjā Robo) is the primary mecha formed by the Chouriki Mobiles. The Ohranger Robo is a unique robot because of its interchangeable "Helmets", one for each of the five separate vehicles, with one core member positioning themselves in the center cockpit usually switching their place with Oh Red depending on whose vehicle is being used as helmet:

  • The default Wing Head (ウィングヘッド, Wingu Heddo) allows Ohranger Robo to use the Super Crown Sword (スーパークラウンソード, Sūpā Kuraun Sōdo) for its Crown Final Crash (クラウンファイナルクラッシュ, Kuraun Fainaru Kurasshu), Chouriki Crown Sword Shoot (超力クラウンソードシュート, Chōriki Kuraun Sōdo Shūto), and Chouriki Crown Spark Shield (超力クラウンスパークシールド, Chōriki Kuraun Supāku Shīrudo) attacks.

Red Puncher[edit]

Red Puncher (レッドパンチャー, Reddo Panchā) was the first mecha built by U.A.O.H, built prior to Baranoia Invasion in 1997. When Baranoia began its invasion, the Red Puncher was piloted by a U.A.O.H Lieutenant named Shunpei Kirino. However, Miura still couldn't control the Chouriki energy needed to control it. Shunpei dies as Red Puncher is buried under boulders as a result of its berserker rage. When Bara Builder damaged Ohranger Robo, Goro found where Red Puncher was buried and managed to gain control. Arrives by the command "Red Puncher, go!" and can perform the Puncher Gatling (パンチャーガトリング, Panchā Gatoringu) and Magna Puncher (マグナパンチャー, Maguna Panchā) attacks.

In the finale, Red Puncher is captured by Baranoia, but it is freed by Gunmazin.

Buster Ohranger Robo[edit]

Artillery Combination Buster Ohranger Robo (超砲撃合体バスターオーレンジャーロボ, Chōhōgeki Gattai Basutā Ōrenjā Robo) is the combination of Ohranger Robo and Red Puncher. Red Puncher is able to assume Combination Mode to form Buster Ohranger Robo, forming the posterior and "Buster Head" (バスターヘッド, Basutā Heddo).

It can use the two large shoulder cannons to destroy Machine Beasts with its Big Cannon Burst (ビッグキャノンバースト, Biggu Kyanon Bāsuto) finisher.

King Pyramider[edit]

King Pyramider (キングピラミッダー, Kingu Piramiddā) is King Ranger's mecha, with Riki and Dorin placed in suspended animation until King Pyramider returns to Earth several millennia later. It is a massive Pyramid that can cloak itself until summoned by King Ranger. Its primary attack is a powerful lightning attack that is summoned from the sky called Super Burn Wave (スーパーバーンウェーブ, Sūpā Bān Wēbu). King Pyramidder's true power can be seen when it converts to either Carrier Formation (キャリアフォーメーション, Kyaria Fōmēshon) or to a gigantic robot, Battle Formation (バトルフォーメーション, Batoru Fōmēshon) and is able to carry either the Chouriki Mobiles or Oh Blocker, as well as the Red Puncher. The finisher for the Battle Formation is the Super Legend Beam (スーパーレジェンドビーム, Sūpā Rejendo Bīmu) barrage. It transforms into either form whenever the commands "King Pyramider, Carrier Formation!" or "King Pyramider, Battle Formation!" are given. The bases of the left and right sides become the arms, the black section of the front becomes the feet as the legs are revealed, and the back side shows a black pyramid that becomes the head (the lower half of the back side shows the face).

Oh Blocker[edit]

Super-Heavy Combination Oh Blocker (超重合体オーブロッカー, Chōjū Gattai Ō Burokkā) is made up of the Blocker Robos. Red Blocker forms Oh Blocker's body. Green Blocker forms Oh Blocker's lower legs. Blue Blocker forms Oh Blocker's waist and upper legs. Yellow Blocker forms Oh Blocker's head, shoulders, and arms. Pink Blocker forms Oh Blocker's feet. Sometimes it can be launched fully combined at the command of "Oh Blocker, launch!".

Oh Blocker wields the Twin Blocken Swords (ツインブロッケンソード, Tsuin Burokken Sōdo), with which it performs the Twin Blocken Thunder (ツインブロッケンサンダー, Tsuin Burokken Sandā) attack and the Twin Blocken Crash (ツインブロッケンクラッシュ, Tsuin Burokken Kurasshu) finisher. It can also fire a beam from its forehead.

In the finale, Oh Blocker is captured by Baranoia, but it is freed by Gunmazin, and piloted by King Ranger.

Tackle Boy[edit]

Tackle Boy (タックルボーイ, Takkuru Bōi) is a massive American Football Player robot, yet a dwarf compared to the other robots. It converts to a massive wheel (the back of the wheel is the feet, which reveals the head, and the sides are the arms). Comes when given the command, "Tackle Boy, launch!".

Artificially intelligent, Tackle Boy can be thrown by Oh Blocker for the Dynamite Tackle (ダイナマイトタックル, Dainamaito Takkuru) finisher.

Machine Empire Baranoia[edit]

The Machine Empire Baranoia (マシン帝国バラノイア, Mashin Teikoku Baranoia) is a cruel race of machines out to conquer Earth. It is led by Bacchushund and possesses a vast army. It had already conquered an entire chain of galaxies before reaching Earth.

Bacchus Wrath[edit]

Emperor Bacchus Wrath (皇帝バッカスフンド, Kōtei Bakkasuhundo, 1-34, 39 & 40) is the ruler of Baranoia, built 600 million years ago by an ancient race. He turned to evil and was banished into the depths of space by King Ranger. Seeing himself as a god, Bacchus Wrath believes he has all right to conquer the world and make humans into his slaves. Very violent, tending to malfunction when he goes berserk, Bacchus Wrath does not tolerate failure nor sentimentality in his minions' programming.

In episode 33, it's later revealed Bacchus Wrath had secretly been rebuilding some of his Machine Beasts and managed to harness the infinite energy from the Earth's magma. When his rebuilt Machine Beasts passed through the magma shower they became Super Machine Beasts. Thanks to the Ohrangers' "Trojan Horse" plan with the Blocker Robos, this facility was destroyed preventing any more Super Machine Beasts from being created. In episode 34, he grows in size and power thanks to the power of a space metal dark sword which, according to him, was the only one of its kind in the universe, which he intended to use on the Ohrangers. He is finally destroyed by Oh Blocker. But Bacchus Wrath's head survives and gives the last of his energy to Buldont before shutting down for good.

Bacchus Wrath is voiced by Tōru Ōhira (大平 透, Ōhira Tōru).

Hysteria[edit]

Empress Hysteria (皇妃ヒステリア, Kōhi Hisuteria, 1-41) is the wife of Bacchushund, usually remaining in the palace devising plans with her husband, though she does go down to Earth by herself at times. She usually carries a metal fan with her and also a gun. She initially despised humans for their feelings but began to value life after Bomber the Great assumed command. Her body color changed from gold to silver when she gave all her power to her niece Multiwa, and as a result, she aged into Dowager Empress Hysteria (41, 47 & 48), now using what is left of her late husband's staff as a cane. She eventually self-destructs in order to protect her grandchild, sacrificing herself after the Ohrangers promised they would not harm the child.

Hysteria is voiced by Minori Matsushima (松島みのり, Matsushima Minori).

Buldont[edit]

Prince Buldont (皇子ブルドント, Ōji Burudonto, 1-40) is basically a robot child and son of Bacchus Wrath and Hysteria. Mischievous and spoiled, he thought of humans as simple toys. He once attempted to direct his own movie, "Century of the Machine Empire", by using humans with no notion that they die from realism. He can fire lasers from his eyes. After his father's death, Buldont challenges Bomber the Great to a duel for the throne of Baranoia and loses with his body taken away by the exiled Hysteria. However, finding his father's head and receiving his remaining energy, Buldont reconfigured into the adult form of Kaiser Buldont (カイザーブルドント, Kaizā Burudonto, 40–48). After returning to Baranoia and destroying Bomber the Great, Buldont regains the leadership of Baranoia. He and Multiwa make themselves grow without Acha and Kocha's help but are eventually destroyed in the series finale at the hands of King Pyramidder Battle Formation.

Buldont is voiced by Tomokazu Seki (関 智一, Seki Tomokazu).

Multiwa[edit]

Princess Multiwa (マルチーワ姫, Maruchīwa Hime, 40–48) is Hysteria's niece and Buldont's cousin, skilled with a bow that can become a sword. While Bacchushund revives Buldont, Hysteria decides to do the same and sends all her 600 million years worth of energy to Multiwa who was sleeping on another planet waiting for the day to become the Machine Empress. Receiving the energy from her Aunt and a message of help she came to Earth interrupting the battle between Bomber and the Ohrangers. She aids Buldont in disfiguring Bomber and reprograming him into their slave before sending him to his death. The two marry after Buldont becomes the new ruler of Baranoia. She and Buldont make themselves grow without Acha and Kocha's help. She eventually dies by her husband's side at the hands of King Pyramidder Battle Formation's Super Legend Beam, but not before she bears him a son.

Multiwa is voiced by Miho Yamada (山田 美穂, Yamada Miho).

Buldont Jr.[edit]

Buldont Jr. (ブルドントJr., Burudonto Junia, 47 & 48) is Kaiser Buldont and Princess Multiwa's child. After his birth, his parents are destroyed by King Pyramider and his grandmother Empress Hysteria sacrifices herself after the Ohrangers promise her not to harm the child. The Ohrangers hand Buldont Jr. over to Gunmajin just before he departs for his own planet.

Bomber the Great[edit]

Bomber the Great (ボンバー・ザ・グレート, Bonbā za Gurēto, 35–41), known as the "Universal Bomb Bastard" (宇宙の爆弾野郎, Uchū no Bakudan Yarō). was just another one of Baranoia's Machine Beasts, yet was able to turn his entire body into a missile. He was exiled after a failed attempt to take over the Baranoia Empire, only to return upon hearing of the death of Bacchushund to try to retake over. This time he set his sights on trying to take over the empty throne. After revising the Baranoian Constitution, Art 12, Bomber challenged Buldont to a duel for the Empire which he won and banished Buldont, proclaiming himself "Bomber the Great the 1st, new Emperor of Baranoia".

At first, being new to the throne, Bomber did his best at leading the Empire, trying to win Hysteria's affections and kill the Ohrangers in the process, but consistently met with failure in both prospects, exiling Hysteria as a result. Kaiser Buldont returned to take back his birthright and Multiwa took control of Bomber by reprogramming him after they took out his arms, replacing them with a sword and a bunker. Bomber was soon sent on a suicide mission to kill the Ohrangers but was destroyed by King Pyramider Battle Formation (Oh Blocker) before he could accomplish this. Suddenly, a smaller missile called the Great Missile appeared shortly afterward, to destroy the sun, only to be flung towards the other side of space by Gunmajin to be destroyed for good.

Bomber the Great is voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama (檜山 修之, Hiyama Nobuyuki).

Servants[edit]

The imperial family of the Machine Empire Baranoia was attended to by its servants:

Acha[edit]

Acha (執事アチャ, Shitsuji Acha) is Baranoia's imperial family butler who follows whoever is in command at the time, reading their War Declaration and other proclamations. Took care of young Buldont when in the field, even serving as the producer of his movie. But for all his work, Acha never gets any respect from the imperial family who abuse him at times.

  • Bara Micron (バラミクロン, Bara Mikuron, 45 & 46): A centipede-like monster that used a "divide-and-conquer" tactic, breaking its body by segments which each had their own method of attack on its enemies. Could spray a beam of small dark particles to make any machine have a mind of its own, including Red Puncher and Oh Blocker, and taking away the Ohrangers' henshin powers (including King Ranger's). Killed by energy summoned by Dorin (that sent the Ohrangers in King Pyramider elsewhere) in the shape of a pyramid.
  • Bara Gear (バラハグルマ, Bara Haguruma, Ohranger vs. Kakuranger): Used by Bacchus Wrath in the bet he made with his son. Bara Gear is capable of placing his "Super Gears" on any machine to take it over as well as powering-up the Barlo Soldiers. He also briefly piloted Ohranger Robo after placing a gear in it. Can also attack with "Gear Bombs". He was later combined with Onbu-Bake to form Onbu-Gear (オンブハグルマ, Onbuhaguruma) through their Super Machine Youkai Fusion (超マシン妖怪合体, Chō Mashin Yōkai Gattai), who was killed by Ohranger Robo, Red Puncher and Oh Blocker with Tackle Boy.
  • Bara Mobile (バラモビル, Bara Mobiru, Carranger vs. Ohranger): The last of the Baranoians, he intended to enlist the aid of the Bowzock to establish his own empire of "car-people". Originally aided by the Carrangers (or specifically Kyousuke Jinnai/Red Racer) due to confusion between the teams, he soon kidnapped Goro to make him the first of his "car-people", only to be thwarted by the Carranger and Ohranger. He was able to enlarge himself without the aid of Acha and Kocha. Killed by Ohranger Robo.
