Power Rangers/Super Sentai Villain Comparison: Lightspeed Rescue/ GoGoFive

Diabolico / Zylpheeza

Zylpheeza deeply loves his brothers and sister, he was sinister and killed by GoGoV. He was revived but killed by his brother Salamandes. Diabolico on the other hand didn't care about his teammates, either his queen Bansheera, who he betrayed. To begin with, he somehow broke free from his imprisonment all the demons were in and stole Ryan (Titanium Ranger) as a child and raised him. Diabolico was killed, came back and tried to help the Rangers. Both had their powers given to their Salamandes/Olympius. Both were then upgraded and used as a puppet. Diabolico returned one last time as a spirit to pull Queen Bansheera into the demon shadow world.

Loki/Cobolda
Loki is brawny and dumb. Cobolda's strategies always relied more in strength than thought. Secretly coveting the rank of Dark King, he tried to take it over after Zylpheeza's death but was overpowered by Salamandes. He and his older brother Zylpheeza were close because they survived together when they were younger. Loki and Cobolda both died in the same way. Cobolda/Loki fought the GoGo V when given a bazooka and was killed by Zylpheeza/Diabolico, who was being controlled by Grandiene/Bansheera.

Vypra / Venus
Vypra was the first villianess to be played by an American actress to wear the same outfit as her Japanese counterpart other than Rita. Venus is the only daughter, she is a queen of disguise to gather information or just cause havoc. Venus' strategies were particularly cruel and fearsome. Vypra battles the Rangers in her high speed dune buggy, the Vyprari. Both felt great respect for Zylpheeza/Diabolico. Near the finale, Venus planned to use a spider to siphon off Matoi's life-force to resurrect Zylpheeza failed when the other GoGo V were able to separate the spider from Matoi, by striking the other spider that was on Zylpheeza's chest. Venus placed the spider on her own chest and sacrificed her life so Zylpheeza could live. Vypra was killed by Queen Bansheera, who absorbed her energy to gain a bodily form. But somehow turned up on Time Force for revenge from a grave.

Drop / Impus
He is youngest, being just an infant, he had to be carried by Pierre and would only say 'Drop.' He had abilities of high sorcery and fire. Upon Zylpheeza's death, he received the Dark King Star and using energy that was transferred from Zylpheeza, Drop underwent a maturation inside a cocoon. During that time his soul took on the form of a human boy with pyrokentic (fire-strater) powers who Matsuri befriended. Impus was the only one to be the son of Queen Bansheera, other than all of them being related to her. Impus was cared for by the trio of demons. When Diabolico was destroyed, Impus received the star power he possessed, and transformed into Olympius. Drop became Salamandes.

Salamandes / Olympius
Drop's monsters were always strong and serious, while Olympius' monsters were goofy-lookinh, probably to counter balance the seriousness Salamandes brought to the series. He lost Grandienne's affection with the failure of the Infinity Clan monsters. Using the star gem, both tried to trap the GoGo Five in hell and ends up being banished there by Grandienne. They escaped as a strong form but is done in by the heroes and later resurrected as a dragon and were destroyed by the heroes in the finale. They had the same fate and both were treacherous, serious, and selfish.

Jinxer / Pierre
Both were in charge of Impus/Drop and were sorcerers and made the monsters big with their cards. Both were very loyal to Salamandes/Olympius, helping him out when no one else would. Jinxer was killed when the Omega Megazord was destroyed while he was piloting it. Pierre was seemingly squished by the GoGo Five's efforts but came back in Timeranger vs. GoGoV, using his Saima Magic he made the Londers Prisoners immune to the Timeranger's weapons. He merged with Boribaru and became PierreBori. He was killed by the TimeRobo Alpha, using the energy from Victory Robo. Pierre was the only one not related to the other demons.

Triskull / King Gil
Triskull was a villain that Trakeena brought in her return, King Gil was actually son of Witch Grandienne. Triskull was just destroyed. King Gil tried to overthrow Grandienne and she had Pierre dropped into hell. He came out in the GoGoV vs. Gingaman teamup and became that big monster that they used as Trakeena's final form.

Grand Witch Grandiene / Queen Bansheera
Queen Bansheera was off in unknown parts when Diabolico and the demons were released. She returned as an energy being, and eventually returned to her solid state. She advises the newly matured Olympius in his attacks on the Power Rangers. Queen Bansheera was so obssessed with defeating the Rangers that she betrayed her own followers. She absorbed Vypra to regain her full bodily form, abandoned Olympius in the shadow world, and set up Loki to be destroyed while battling the Rangers. She was finally vanquished when the Rangers threw her back into the tomb, trapping her in the shadow world.

The mother of the Saima Clan, Grandienne was seperated from her children long ago. A short while later she arrived in this dimension but is trapped halfway because Mondo interrupts the spell. She advises the newly matured Salamandes in his attacks on the GoGo V. Grandienne banishes Salamandes to Hell after disappointing her and she leaves to complete her transfer to our dimension. She fights GoGoV and weakens them. She sent all of her energy into resurrecting Salamandes and Zylpheeza into their final forms and loses all her power with their destruction.

Camaraderie Between the Power Ranger and Super Sentai actors

It all started with this picture. Above is James Maclurcan and Yasuhisa Furuhara. James played Mac in "Power Rangers Operation Overdrive." Yasuhisa currently portrays Sousuke in "Engine Sentai Go-onger."

Above is a new picture, which is bringing murmurs about James being on Go-onger, but I personally doubt it. Above with them is Shinwa Kataoka and Kenji Ebisawa. How is this possible? Well, James is from Australia and filmed PR in New Zealand, so super close to Japan compared to America. They know he is a Power Ranger, but didn't know which series he was from or what the name of the series was, becuase they aren't familiar with the current incarinations. Apparently they didn't have a translator.

Power Rangers/Super Sentai Villain Comparison: Lost Galaxy / Gingaman

Power Rangers Lost Galaxy [1999] / Seijyu Sentai Gingaman (Star-Beast Team Milky Way Man) [1998]

The villains of Gingaman were pirates, who take over the land of the Gingaman. They are all together, while the villains of "Lost Galaxy" were separate. Trakeena, Treacheron, Villamax, Kegler, and Deviot for sometime were part of Scorpius' army. Scorpius was an American-made villain, no relation tot he source. While Captain Mutiny, Barbarax, and Hexuba were pirates together, footage was used.

Trakeena / Shelinda
Well, Shelinda's outfit was way too revealing for Saban to use, so they made a whole new outfit for Trakeena, bug-inspired and she got much more buggy as the series continued. Trakeena was the princess daughter of Scorpius, the American-made villain. She didn't want to go into a cocoon he wanted her to go in but later did so and came back in the next season---Lightspeed Rescue, wanting to be 'green' again. When her father was destroyed, she blamed the Red Ranger. Shelinda had a vendetta against Ginga Green, she was not above using her sexiness. She had a relationship with Budou and doubled crossed Captain Zahab.

Villamax / Sanbasshu
Trakeena met Villamax at the Onyx Tavern, he saved her from being attacked by a few patrons. He then trained her to become a powerful and skilled warrior, worthy of being her father's successor. Villamax is an honorable warrior who keeps his word, and loyally serves and protects his princess. When Trakeena absorbed Deviot, she was changed, and Villamax was destroyed when he defied her. Sanbasshu was much different, a run-of-the-mill villain, he grew huge and was destroyed by the Gingaman. He was part of Captain Zahab's gang.

Kegler / Pukuratesu
Pukuratesu loved Iriesu (Hexuba) and he helped her arrange Budou (Treacheron)'s death. When she died and he began to go mad. He barely escaped with his own life, and hatched a plot to destroy Captain Zaihabu, eventually he stole Gotaurus to force Hyuuga to work for him. Kegler was Villamax's old and worry-wort waddling sidekick. He was last known to be on the Scorpion Stinger when it crashed on one of Mirinoi's moons.

Deviot / Prince Bezunera
Deviot is a power hungry traitor, who serves only his own needs. He offered his services as Scorpius' general, but used the position to set up Scorpius' death and try to take the power of his cocoon. When Trakeena returned, he served under her, and unsuccessfully tried to get her killed. When Deviot recited a chant from a powerful book, he transported everyone into the Lost Galaxy, where he hooked up with Captain Mutiny and his crew. The power of the Galaxy Book deformed Deviot, but he regained his looks by draining a monster's power. Upon returning to the Scorpion Stinger, he merged with Trakeena by forcing her with him into the coccoon.

Prince Brazunera brought with him three starbeasts he had enslaved and mechanized. He had to return payment to Captain Zahab when the Starbeasts went back to Gingaman's side. He hired as consultant by Battobasu (Barbarax). He ended up falling into a vat in a struggle with Gingaman and mutating into a monster form and was killed.

Captain Mutiny / Captain Zahab
Captain Zahab was the main villain of Gingaman, but Captain Mutiny came late in the series, as the Rangers entered the Lost Galaxy. Zahab lost his hand to original GingaRed, he was destroyed in the finale. Mutiny was destroyed by Trakeena when he escaped the lost galaxy to conquer normal space.

The other characters were basically the same, or not much to say. For those fans, Scorpius was American-made and Furio was from Megaranger.

Power Rangers/Super Sentai Villain Comparison: Space/Megaranger

Power Rangers In Space (1998) / Denji (Electromagnetic) Sentai Megaranger (1997)

Astronema / Shibolena
Shibolena was a robot created in the image of the daughter of Dr. Hinelar, one of the baddies, but he was not transferred into Power Rangers. Astronema was the villianess, formerly Karone--the sister of Andros. Astronema was lied to her whole life, I guess Shibolena too a bit. Shibolena was killed near the finale by MegaRed while protecting Yugande. Astronema came around to Andros, but was brainwashed to be evil, and eventually became good once again.

Dark Specter / Javious the First
Dark Specter got together all the baddies from the past seasons and looked like Divatox's fiance. Javious the First was a mysterious main villain that was rarely seen. Javious was connected to the Nejiranger (Psycho Rangers) without him knowing and when they were destroyed by the Megaranger, it killed him. The Pyscho Rangers were connected to him but it didn't kill him. He was destroyed when one of his minions-Darkonda struck into him.

Ecliptor / Yugande
Yugande and Ecliptor cared much about their female charges. Yugande was destroyed for many times and one last time when he was in his red form Super Yugande. He didn't questioned Hinelar. Ecliptor did redeem himself, caring for Astronema but was turned evil and destroyed by Zordon's wave.

Darkonda/Guirali

Darkonda and Guirali were both self-centered and didn't stop to nothing to get their way. They were wicked and cruel. He kidnapped Karone when she was a child. He had multiple lives but had one last one, which he used to destroy Dark Specter. Guirali sing children as human shields to prevent the Megarangers from fighting back. He was destroyed mid-way through the series by the Megaranger.

Power Rangers/Super Sentai Villain Comparison: Turbo/Carranger

Power Rangers Turbo (1997) / Gekisou (Car Racing) Sentai Car Ranger (1996)

Instead of goofy space invaders, we get space pirates in a subcraft that spent most of the time under the water on the Earth.

Divatox/Zonnette
Zonnette showed too much boobage (cleavage) so Saban decided not to use much of the footage and film their own footage for the baddies--thank god they enough money to do. Divatox first premiered in the movie Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. She wanted to marry a lava-monster, then just set off bombs on the Earth and destroy the Rangers. She was wicked, fretted a lot, loved a good joke and was sarcastic. Zonnette was sexy, flirty and had a crush on Red Racer. She also had a sister and then turned into a good princess who had to marry. Divatox was hinted to be the twin sister of Dimitria, Zordon's replacement and was turned good by Power Rangers in Space.

Rygog / Gynamo
Gynamo was the leader of the baddies, he could quickly get flustered and was dense. He also scrambled for ideas but sometimes he was strong. Rygog was just second-in-command, followed what Divatox told him to do. Gnamo went on to open his own restaurant.

Elgar / Zelmoda
As you can tell, Zelmoda had a much more creepy face. we would occasionally see this face in the footage but not much as the one to the left. Elgar was obnoxious and had a big sense of humor, he was Divatox's nephew, he was responsible for turning Bulk and Skull into monkeys. he for some reason, re-appeared in Power Rangers in Space, where he was destroyed by Zedd's wave. Zelmoda was less annoying but he was just as dense, he was also cruel. He went on to go to elementary school.

Porto / Grotch
Porto did not appear in the movie but did for the rest of the series, he was like Finster, in that he invented stuff and sent monsters. Grotch once grew big but shrank back to regular size. Porto and Grotch were both scaredy cats but Porto just stayed in the sidelines, while Grotch was a bit more wicked. Grotch went on to attend elementary school.

Ritchihiker/RitchRitchihiker / General Havoc
Ritchihiker was hired by Gynamo to destroy Carrangers and was struck by lightning, he gained this gold form. He kicked out Gynamo and Zonette and assumed command of the Bowzock. He was destroyed in a robot he created that the Carranger destroyed. General Havoc on the other hand was Divatox's brother, and also captured their Megazord, and used it against the Rangers, powered by the Phantom Ranger's ruby. In Power Rangers in Space, where he was destroyed by Zedd's wave.

Exhaus/Exhaus Super-Strong / Goldgoyle
Exhaus was the big boss of the baddies. He used them and was cruel. His Super-strong from above was used as a monster called Goldgoyle in Turbo.

Power Rangers/Super Sentai Villain Comparison: Zeo/Ohranger

Power Rangers Zeo (1996) / Choriki Sentai Ohranger (Super Power Task Force Overtech Hardware Rangers) [1995]

King Mondo / Bacchus-rage
Both leaders of their machine army, Bacchus died earlier on, King Mondo could be rebuilt over and over again. He was ultimately destroyed in you guess it, Power Rangers In Space.

Hysteria / Queen Machina
Both had their husbands and son, but Hysteria had to see her husband and son be destroyed, she scaraficed herself (committing suicide) to protect her grandson at the finale.

Prince Sprocket / Buldont
Both were evil child-like sons to the king and queen. Sprocket had to deal with Louie Kaboom taking over and sibling rivalry with his old brother Prince Sprocket. Buldont had rivalry with his father most of all. He was killed by Bomber the great but he was rebuilt.

Klank and Orbus / Acha and Kocha
They were all servants. Klank/Acha swung Orbus/Kocha to grow the monsters. Klank had a Scottish accent. Acha and Kocha went on to raise Kaiser Buldont's son.

Louie Kaboom / Bomber the Great
Rita and Zedd made Louie to take over the Machine Empire, which he did but he didn't follow Zedd and Rita. He took over after Mondo was out for a while. He spoke with a thick Brooklyn accent. Bomber the Great came after Bacchus-Wrath was dead, he was exiled for trying to take over before. He also tried to get Hysteria's affections, and he destroyed Buldont. He was de-throned when Kaiser Buldont returned, went to fight the Ohranger and sent into space by Gunmajin (Auric).

Prince Gasket / Kaiser Buldont
Buldont was destroyed and then rebuilt. He came back older and with a wife. He was destroyed with his wife by the Ohranger. Prince Gasket came along after Louie and fled to their home planet when Mondo returned. He was never seen again. Basically, Gasket and Sprocket were different characters, while Buldont was the same guy.

Archerina / Princess Multiwa
Probably because they are robots and not flesh, she married her cousin Kaiser Buldont after aiding him in getting rid of Bomber the great with her arrows of love. She had a son named Buldont Jr. and she was destroyed with her husband. Archerina was already married with Prince Gasket when she arrived in the scene. She and her husband fled and were never heard of again.
