Plot

edit

Three misfit pupils of the Hayate-Style Ninja School, who are given a rigorous training regiment by their sensei Mugensai Hinata, are the only survivors when most of their peers are slaughtered during the graduation ceremony by a group of evil space ninjas known as the Jakanja that serve a mysterious power hidden on Earth. Mugensai, who has turned himself into a hamster to evade his pursuers, and his daughter Oboro Hinata recruit the trio to become the legendary Hurricanegers to fight Jakanja. The Hurricanegers are joined by the Gouraigers of the Ikazuchi-Style Ninja School, who were initially their enemies, and later the mysterious Shurikenger who unites the two ninja groups to stop Jakanja from acquiring the mysterious power.

Characters

Hurricanegers

edit

The eponymous Hurricanegers are three ninja students in the 507th class who are the survivors of the Hayate-Style (疾風しっぷうりゅう, Hayate-ryū) ninja school, Ninpukan (にんふうかん, Ninpūkan), are mastering their school's Super Ninja Art (ちょう忍法にんぽう, Chō Ninpō) ninjutsu. They represent the Hayate Heart embodying the "Presistence of the Future". Their arsenal revolving around the Shinobi Medal (シノビメダル, Shinobi Medaru) discs, the Hurricanegers transform by using the Hurricane Gyro (ハリケンジャイロ, Hariken Jairo) brace and use the Hurricane Winger (ハリケンウインガー, Hariken Uingā) hang gliders for transportation. They are armed with the Hayatemaru (ハヤテまる) ninjatō, which has an alternate rifle mode that can be accessed by combining with its sheath. Their signature attack is the Super Ninja Art: Shadow Dance (ちょう忍法にんぽうかげまい, Chō Ninpō Kage no Mai). The Hurricanegers combine their personal weapons to form the Triple Gadget (トリプルガジェット, Toripuru Gajetto), which has three configurations that can perform a different finisher depending on which weapon is used as the front piece: the Dry Gadget (ドライガジェット, Dorai Gajetto) shoots a ball of flaming energy, the Sonic Gadget (ソニックガジェット, Sonikku Gajetto) fires a bubble of sound waves, and the Quake Gadget (クエイクガジェット, Kueiku Gajetto) materializes a 100-ton weight.

When facing enlarged Jakanja members, the Hurricanegers summon their Shinobi Machines (シノビマシン, Shinobi Mashin) and form a Karakuri Giant (カラクリ巨人きょじん, Karakuri Kyojin) known as Senpuujin (旋風せんぷうしん, Senpūjin) via Shinobi Wind Combination (にんふう合体がったい, Ninpū Gattai) where it has the ability to assume the more agile form of Senpuujin Hurrier (旋風せんぷうしんハリアー, Senpūjin Hariā) for a duration of one minute. Senpuujin can combine with Gouraijin and a Karakuri Ball (カラクリボール, Karakuri Bōru) combination known as Karakuri Warrior Fuuraimaru (カラクリ武者むしゃふうかみなりまる, Karakuri Musha Fūraimaru) into Gourai Senpuujin (とどろきかみなり旋風せんぷうしん, Gōrai Senpūjin) via School Transcendence Wind-Thunder Combination (流派りゅうは超越ちょうえつふうかみなり合体がったい, Ryūha Chōetsu Fūrai Gattai). Alternatively, it can combine with Gouraijin, Tenkuujin, and the Tri-Condor (トライコンドル, Torai Kondoru) combination to form Tenrai Senpuujin (てんかみなり旋風せんぷうしん, Tenrai Senpūjin) via Galactic Transcendence Three-God Combination (銀河ぎんが超越ちょうえつさんかみ合体がったい, Ginga Chōetsu Sanshin Gattai). The Hurricanegers and Gouraigers also acquire the use of Shurikenger's Ninjamisen (ニンジャミセン) instrument, allowing them to either command Revolver Mammoth (リボルバーマンモス, Riborubā Manmosu), which can be ridden by Tenrai Senpuujin in the Revolver Tenrai Senpuujin (リボルバーてんかみなり旋風せんぷうしん, Riborubā Tenrai Senpūjin) formation, or combine the Ninjamisen with the Victory Gadget to form the Final Gadget (ファイナルガジェット, Fainaru Gajetto).

Yosuke Shiina (椎名しいな たかかい, Shiina Yōsuke)[1]
The leader of the team, his courageous determination making up for his slow-thinking. Long after the Jakanja's defeat, while aiding the Abarangers and then the Gokaigers, Yosuke became a handyman who travels around the world. During his travels, six months prior to the events of Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After, Yosuke befriends Tenkai and is forced by Bat Ze Runba to attack Space Union Ninja School branches while stealing his teammates' Shinobi Medals. But with his friends' help, Yosuke frees Tenkai and becomes a mentor to the boy. As the "Air Ninja" (そらにん, Sora'nin), Hurricane Red (ハリケンレッド, Hariken Reddo), he uses the Dry Gun (ドライガン, Dorai Gan) and his personal Shinobi Machine is Hurricane Hawk (ハリケンホーク, Hariken Hōku).

After the final battle, aiding the Abarangers, the Boukengers by having her "Friendship Spirit" empower DaiVoyager, and the Gokaigers, Nanami became a successful singer of international fame and hopes to be an actress. As the "Water Ninja" (みずにん, Mizu'nin), Hurricane Blue (ハリケンブルー, Hariken Burū), she uses the Sonic Megaphone (ソニックメガホン, Sonikku Megahon) and her personal Shinobi Machine is Hurricane Dolphin (ハリケンドルフィン, Hariken Dorufin).

As the "Earth Ninja" (りくしのぶ, Oka'nin), Hurricane Yellow (ハリケンイエロー, Hariken Ierō), he uses the Quake Hammer (クエイクハンマー, Kueiku Hanmā) and his personal Shinobi Machine is Hurricane Leon (ハリケンレオン, Hariken Reon).

Gouraigers

edit

The Lightning Speed Gouraiger (電光石火でんこうせっかゴウライジャー, Denkōsekka Gōraijā)[1] are two brothers who are the surviving students of the Ikazuchi Way (迅雷じんらいりゅう, Ikazuchi-ryū) ninja academy, Ikazuchi Gijuku (迅雷じんらいじゅく), originally the enemies of the Hurricaneger who join the Jakanja despite having wiped out the Ikazuchi Way's Ninja Academy which left the Kasumi brothers as the only survivors. The brothers obtained the forbidden Gouraiger system from their father, Ikki (いちおに), a rogue ninja who abused them. Ikki went against the Ikazuchi Way's wishes to obtain the Evil Will after learning of it during his mission in Egypt and learned of the "Final Secret" at the time of a meteor shower. He went against his school's wishes by creating the Gouraiger system and making his sons kill each other to evoke it while making them believe that rage and hatred would only promote strength. Though they eventually allied themselves with the Hurricanegers the Kasumi brothers were unable to completely forsake their father's cruel teachings and have a jaded view on life. The two work as construction workers before parting ways after the final battle with the Jakanja. They represent the Ikazuchi Heart embodying the Bonds of the Past.

Their arsenal revolving around the Shinobi Medals, the Gouraigers transform by using the Gourai Changer (ゴウライチェンジャー, Gōrai Chenjā) brace and use the Bari Thunder (バリサンダー, Bari Sandā) motorcycles for transportation. They are armed with the Ikazuchimaru (イカヅチまる) staff, which can switch between Spear Mode (手槍てやりモード, Teyari Mōdo), the shuriken-like Cross Mode (十字じゅうじかた, Jūji no Kata), and the shield-like Circle Moon Mode (えんがつかた, Engetsu no Kata). The Gouraigers combine their personal weapons to form the Double Gadget (ダブルガジェット, Daburu Gajetto), which can then combine with the Hurricanegers' Triple Gadget's Quake Gadget configuration to form the Victory Gadget (ビクトリーガジェット, Bikutorī Gajetto). When facing enlarged Jakanja members, the Gouraigers summon their Shinobi Machines and form Gouraijin (とどろき雷神らいじん, Gōraijin) via Thunderclap Combination (迅雷じんらい合体がったい, Ikazuchi Gattai).

Ikkou Kasumi (かすみ いちかぶと, Kasumi Ikkō)[1]
The older brother of Isshu, originally intending to make Ikazuchi as the greatest ninja school using the Evil Will. But Ikkou abandoned it and decides to support the Hurricanegers, becoming Yosuke's rival while making a mortal enemy out of Manmaruba when the alien sought revenge the Kasumi brothers for making a fool out of him. Long after the Jakanja's defeat, aiding the Abarangers prior to becoming estranged from his brother, Ikkou becomes a member of the JunRetsu singing group. During the events of Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After, Ikkou helps Yosuke remember the good they did together before helping him save Tenkai. As the crimson-colored "Horned Ninja" (すみしのぶ, Tsuno'nin), Kabuto Raiger (カブトライジャー, Kabuto Raijā), he uses the Horn Breaker (ホーンブレイカー, Hōn Bureikā) raygun and his personal Shinobi Machine is Gourai Beetle (ゴウライビートル, Gōrai Bītoru).
Isshu Kasumi (かすみ いちくわ, Kasumi Isshū)[1]
The younger brother of Ikkou who originally resented his school for staying in the shadows, idolizing his brother and respecting most of his decisions. But Isshu took the fact they were not rebuilding their ninja school personally until he found the resting place of his father's blade, the double-bladed Kiraimaru (おにかみなりまる) naginata. Desiring to rebuild the Ikazuchi School, Isshu used the blade with disastrous results. After learning to use the Kiraimaru in a way where his friends would not be harmed, Isshu decides to rebuild the school after Jakanja is defeated. By the events of Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After, having left Ikkou's shadow, Isshu became a lady's man and eventually made peace with his brother. As the navy blue-colored "Fanged Ninja" (きばにん, Kiba'nin), Kuwaga Raiger (クワガライジャー, Kuwaga Raijā), he uses the Stag Breaker (スタッグブレイカー, Sutaggu Bureikā) claw, which can combine with his Ikazuchimaru to form the Ikazuchi Breaker (イカヅチブレイカー, Ikazuchi Bureikā) naginata, and his personal Shinobi Machine is Gourai Stag (ゴウライスタッグ, Gōrai Sutaggu).

Shurikenger

edit

Shurikenger (シュリケンジャー, Shurikenjā)[b] is the green-colored "Sky Ninja" (天空てんくう忍者にんじゃ, Tenkū Ninja) who is able to transform via the Shuriken Ball (シュリケンボール, Shuriken Bōru) device. He is armed with the Shuriken's Bat (シュリケンズバット, Shurikenzu Batto) katana, which has an alternate baseball bat mode that can be accessed by combining with its sheath. He can also assume Fire Mode (ファイヤーモード, Faiyā Mōdo), rotating the top of his helmet while removing the weight inhibitor serving as chest armor to increase his physical abilities. When facing enlarged Jakanja members, Shurikenger summons Tenkuujin (天空てんくうしん, Tenkūjin) and changes it from a bird-themed helicopter mode to robot mode via Soaring Transformation (飛翔ひしょう変形へんけい, Hishō Henkei).

Shurikenger
The original Shurikenger, known as the Man with a Thousand Faces (せんかおおとこ, Sen no Kao o Motsu Otoko) and representative of the Space Unified Ninja School (宇宙うちゅう統一とういつ忍者にんじゃりゅう, Uchū Tōitsu Ninja-ryū), was an ex-student of the Hayate-Style's Ninja Academy who became Kagura's personal fighter while renouncing name and face as he is permanently transformed in his costumed form. A somewhat comical figure, Shurikenger often used broken English phrases including the famous "I am Ninja of Ninja!" and also often poorly mixes both Japanese and English into his sentences. He usually disguises himself as a 'regular' person until he reverts to his true form with the Shuriken Ball device when confronted by Jakanja. Though Shurikenger seemed to have died after being mortally wounded by Sandaru and using Tenkuujin to take out Satorakura, he mysteriously reappears to aid his allies and the Abarangers and is last seen overseeing the Ninningers' progress under request of Toha Yamaji.
Tenkai (天界てんかい)
A mysterious 10-year-old boy who appears during the events of Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After, taken under Yosuke's wing as traveling companion six months prior as Tenkai lacked any memory of his life before. But kidnapped by Bat Ze Runba, Tenkai is revealed to be the embodiment of the Great Force that manifested after the Hurricaneger/Gouraiger teams defeated Tau Zanto. Though Runba succeeded in awakening the Great Force, Tenkai manages to suppress it and gains the ability to become the new Shurikenger with the resolve to use his powers for good as he becomes Yosuke's apprentice. Unlike his predecessor, though he possesses the same capabilities, Tenkai does not use broken English phrases in his sentences.

Despite his form, he can fight and communicated with Kagura before she revealed herself.

Kagura's prolonged life is due to Dark Stone (やみせき, Yami Ishi) embedded on her forehead, the item revealed to be the Grieving Bow (なげきのゆみ, Nageki no Yumi) which the Earth ninjas' technology is derived from. But Kagura refrains from any form of sadness to maintain the seal placed on the Grieving Bow. After moving in with the Hurricanegers after her location is compromised, Kagura learned of how much the world changed during her solitude while seeing the ninja are true heroes despite her earlier impressions. But Sandaaru learned of the seal, killing her once it is undone.

Space Ninja Clan Jakanja

edit

The Space Ninja Clan Jakanja (宇宙うちゅうにんぐんジャカンジャ, Uchū Ningun Jakanja) are a ruthless band of alien ninja based in their fortress Parasite Fortress Centipede (寄生きせい要塞ようさいセンチピード, Kisei Yōsai Senchipīdo), the Jonin (うえしのぶ, Jō'nin, High-Ranked Ninja) group known as the Seven Dark Spears (暗黒あんこくななほんやり, Ankoku Nanahon Yari) with three commanding the Chuunin (ちゅうにん, Chū'nin, Middle-Ranked Ninjas) that consist Jankanja's Space Ninjas (宇宙うちゅう忍者にんじゃ, Uchū Ninja). Each one leads their own Ninja Corps. Their goal is to bring Earth to ruins to invoke "it" (アレ, Are), the "Evil Force" (邪悪じゃあくなる意志いし, Jaakunaru Ishi) that would form in the depths of the ocean before destroying the universe. But when Tau Zanto assumes his ultimate form the Centipede is destroyed in the transformation, Furabiijo and Wendinu are among the survivors that also include the Reverse Seven Spears.

Leader Tau Zant (首領しゅりょうタウ・ザント, Shuryō Tau Zanto)
Jankanja's leader, an Ōmukade-like demon with various faces on his segments who desires the Evil Force's power to wipe out the universe and create a new one he intends to rule. He made numerous attempts to bring about the Evil Force's coming with Gouraigers kill each other and later Fangerus before ingesting the Raging Arrow (いかりの, Ikari no Ya) and the Grieving Bow to transform himself into the mobile giant Tau Zant Ultimate Form (タウ・ザント究極きゅうきょくたい, Tau Zanto Kyūkyokutai) and absorb the Evil Force. But Tau Zant is shrunk down to human size and is finally destroyed by the ninjas using the Victory Gadget.
First Spear Furabiijo (いちやりフラビージョ, Ichi no Yari Furabījo)
A kunoichi dropout in a bee headdress and a user of the bee ninja art who Tau Zant recruited, carrying a notepad she uses to grade Space Ninja members sent to attack Earth. She once acted on her own by creating the android Furabijenu, who briefly forced her out of Jakanja before manipulating Nanami into creating a remote control for her creation. Following the series finale, assumed to have been killed, Furabiijo and Wendinu ended up on Dino Earth where they attempted to ally themselves with the Evoliens during the events of Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger. Furabiijo later resurfaces briefly in GoGo Sentai Boukenger vs. Super Sentai as a key ingredient in Chronos's plans, making a return appearance in Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After as a supporter of Bat Ze Runba before taking her leave.

Chuuzubo later uses the forbidden Dark Soul Summoning Ninja Art to enlarge himself with an increase in his power by sacrificing his life, overpowering the two ninja teams before being destroyed by Gourai Senpuujin.
Third Spear Manmaruba (さんやりマンマルバ, San no Yari Manmaruba)
Tau Zant's most valuable servant due to his ability to see the fixed future, Manmaruba developed a grudge against Ikkou after seeing his future death. Following Chuuzubo's death, Manmaruba undergoes a pupa state to become the scorpion-like Manmaruba Adult Form (マンマルバ成体せいたい, Manmaruba Seitai) to exact his revenge by infecting Ikkou with both a deadly Space Scorpion and its egg while foreseeing his own death by Ikkou's hand. While Hurricane Red averted Ikkou's death, Manmaruba creates a stronger clone of himself to continue in his place. The new Manmaruba's psychic power allows him to see a meteor shower allowing him to fully reveal the means to acquire the Evil Force, but the exposure mutates him into the mindless scorpion monster Manmaruba Reckless Form (マンマルバ暴走ぼうそうたい, Manmaruba Bōsōtai) that is destroyed by Tenrai Senpuujin.
Fourth Spear Wendinu (よんやりウェンディーヌ, Yon no Yari Wendīnu)
A snake ninja art mistress of disguise who appears on Earth with Furabiijo as the one who enlarges the Space Ninjas, occasionally called by her partner as "Wendy". Wendinu was made a Dark Spear due to her unique ability to grow into a giant super-strong berserker after amassing enough stress and rage in her. In that crazed state of mind, Wendinu destroys an entire planet single-handedly. After Manmaruba's death, Wendinu follows her own plan in setting up her own Wendinu Cram School scheme using brainwashed children to kill the ninja for her. In the process, she falls head over heels in love with a young man named Hashimoto. Once her plan failed Wendinu's rage reaches its zenith and she grows, overpowering the Karakuri Giants until the presence of Hashimoto causes her to shrink back to normal size. Following the series finale, assumed to have been killed, Wendinu and Furabiijo ended up on Dino Earth where they attempted to ally themselves with the Evolians during the events of Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger. Wendinu later resurfaces in Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After as a supporter of Bat Ze Runba before taking her leave.

He also builds his own personal robots to fight the ninjas. Receiving the Raging Arrow from Sandaaru to unlock its power Sargain learns that it functions like the Shinobi Medals. Though he unlocked the Raging Arrow he lost it when Gaingain was destroyed. Though he survives the destruction of Gaingain, he is cut down with his own blade by Sadaaru as he had no more need of him.
Sixth Spear Satarakura (ろくやりサタラクラ, Roku no Yari Satarakura)
A peacock/evil clown-like trickster with an Owarai-type personality who replaces Chuuzubo, commanding the Mask Ninja Corps (仮面かめん忍者にんじゃぐんだん, Kamen Ninja Gundan) who Wendinu revives into giants with a boomerang. When the Evil Force's coming approaches, Satarakura makes his moves during the final meteor shower by using the Jaykumu Gun created from Sargain's data to suck the energy out of people and extracting the rage and sadness for Tau Zant. Satarakura was stopped by the Earth ninjas but Tau Zant saves him to preserve the Jaykumu Gun as it fused to his arm and drained him of his own energy. Taking advantage Satarakura uses the energy of the Jakyumu Gun to overpower the ninjas and take their energy. Sandaaru arrives once the Jakyumu Gun's energy pack is full and takes it before attempting to kill Satarakura. Though Satarakura survives, his mask is broken and his mind shattered turning him into a hateful psychopath intent on killing both sides. It takes Tenkuujin's self-destruct to finally kill him.
Seventh Spear Sandaaru (ななやりサンダール, Nana no Yari Sandāru)
A powerful shark-like ninja who destroyed many worlds before coming to Earth, master of the alien beasts that constitute the Fan Ninja Beast Corps (おうぎしのぶじゅうぐんだん, Sen'ninjū Gundan) and are stored in Sandaaru's fan until summoned. After he obtained the Raging Arrow from Astrom, he became the most powerful of all the Seven Dark Spears with aspirations of taking over Jakanja. With the exception of Sargain and Tau Zant, who played along, Sandaaru wins the other Jakanja members over while convincing them to all attack together rather than individually. After using the Earth Ninjas to power the Raging Arrow, Sandaaru uses Sargain to devise a method for its use before secretly killing him once making a copy of Sargain's Karakuri Ball system. It was only after acquiring the Grieving Bow from Kagura that Sandaaru learns Tau Zant was using him the entire time and reveals his true colors after the destruction of the Centipede. Surviving the Victory Gadget, Sandaaru enlarges himself and overpowers Revolver Gourai Senpuujin. At the last second, the Gouraigers are forced to sacrifice Gouraijin to kill Sandaaru.
Genin Magerappa (下忍しもおしマゲラッパ, Ge'nin Magerappa)
Low-ranked ninjas that serve as the Jankanja's foot soldiers.

Shadow Seven Spears

He arrives on Earth to avenge his brother, meeting the Duke Orgs Yaibaba and Tsuetsue who reveal the Gaorangers' existence to him. Setting up a partnership with the Orgs, Chubouzu managed to capture the Gaorangers and Tetomu obtaining the G-Phones which he gave to Jakanja on the condition that if the plan was a success he would take his brother's place in the Seven Dark Spears. Though the eight villains had them on the run Gao Silver's interference gave the gang a chance to return the G-Phones to their true owners. Chubouzu was hit by the Victory Gadget/Haja Hyakujuuken combo attack he uses the dark soul summoning ninja art to evade death and his regeneration ninja art to revive Girigirigaishi, Kangaroulette and Jingiron to aid him.

Episodes
