Dairangers - Mythical Qi Beasts

Mythical Qi Beasts

The Mythical Qi Beasts (気伝獣, Kidenjū?) are the ancient god-like animals born from the power of nature that could be controlled by those of the Dai Tribe. "Mythical Summoning! (name)!" (気伝招来!(気伝獣の名前)!, Kiden Shōrai! (Kidenjū no Namae)!?) is used to call on the Mythical Qi Beasts (although in Super Sentai World, Ryu Ranger was able to summon a fully combined Dairen'oh by himself) while holding their respective Lai-Lai Jewels and a Star Sword (Byakkoshinken in Kiba Ranger's case) to summon them.

  • Mythical Qi Beast Ryuseioh (気伝獣龍星王, Kidenjū Ryūseiō?, Dragon Star King): Ryu Ranger's Mythical Qi Beast, transforms into Mythical Qi Warrior Ryuseioh (気伝武人龍星王, Kiden Bujin Ryūseiō?) upon the command "Warrior Change" (武人変化, Bujin Henge?). He can combine with the Heavenly Qi Palace to form Dairen'oh, and can control fire and lightning. He can breathe streams of fire from his mouth called Big Blaze (大火炎, Dai Kaen?). He can use the Flying Dragon Rod (飛龍棍, Hiryū Kon?) to perform the Windmill Kick, Super Windmill, and the Great Windmill Slice (大風車斬り, Dai Fūsha Kiri?) attack. At first, Kaku had to use his Qi energy to control Ryuseioh, until Lin was transported to China to find the five Heavenly Treasure Lai-Lai Jewels and revived the other four Mythical Qi Beasts. Ryu Ranger can control Ryuseioh either by himself or with the other core Dairangers. Helped out in Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai. Elements of Sun Wukong (such as his staff and golden headband) were influences on Ryuseioh's design.
  • Mythical Qi Beast Sei-Shishi (気伝獣星獅子, Kidenjū Sei Shishi?, Star-Shishi): Shishi Ranger's Mythical Qi Beast, this Shishi can create mists to conceal itself and can create illusions. Its attack is Big Mirage (大蜃気楼, Dai Shinkirō?).
  • Mythical Qi Beast Sei-Tenma (気伝獣星天馬, Kidenjū Sei Tenma?, Star-Tianma): Tenma Ranger's Mythical Qi Beast, this Tianma can throw boulders at its enemies and control gravity. Its attack is Big Gravity (大重力, Dai Jūryoku?).
  • Mythical Qi Beast Sei-Qilin (気伝獣星麒麟, Kidenjū Sei Kirin?, Star-Qilin): Qilin Ranger's Mythical Qi Beast, this Qilin can shoot fireballs out of its mouth, and control time. Its attack is Big Time (大時間, Dai Jikan?).
  • Mythical Qi Beast Sei-Houou (気伝獣星鳳凰, Kidenjū Sei Hōō?, Star-Fenghuang): Houou Ranger's Mythical Qi Beast, this Fenghuang can fire laser blasts and generate whirlwinds. Its attack is Big Whirlwind (大旋風, Dai Senpū?).
  • Mythical Qi Beast Wang Tiger (気伝獣ウォンタイガー, Kidenjū Won Taigā?, King Tiger): Kiba Ranger's Mythical Qi Beast, attacks with "Big Roar" and transforms into Mythical Qi Warrior Wang Tiger (気伝武人ウォンタイガー, Kiden Bujin Won Taigā?) by the command "Warrior Change!". It is armed with 7 Legendary Qi Treasure Pearls in its cockpit which correlate to both the seven days of the Japanese week and the seven Japanese elements; Moon (equivalent for Monday), Fire (Tuesday), Water (Wednesday), Wood (Thursday), Metal (Friday), Earth (Saturday), and Sun (Sunday). In warrior mode, it attacks with "Tiger Punch," "Tiger Kick" and uses the Fire Jewel for its "Tigerboy's Big Secret Technique Flaming Orb" (Kaen Dama). Wang Tiger was born by the combined powers of Kaku along with the five Dairangers for Kiba Ranger at high noon in Gojoudai. It is also armed with the Golden Sword (黄金剣, Ōgonken?) and mimics Kiba Ranger's attacks to fight off Gorma monsters.
  • Super Mythical Qi Beast Daimugen (超気伝獣ダイムゲン, Chō Kidenjū Daimugen?, Great Infinity): A giant tortoise who turned into Kameo (亀夫, Kameo?) — a pudgy Nagoya accented man who loved turtles (keeping some he named "Candy", "Max", "Joe", "Gum", "Tom", and "Caesar") and fearful of confrontations, with no memory of his previous life, in which he escaped the fighting between the Dai & Gorma tribes. He makes a living out of selling illustrations he made and dreams of writing children's books. He later witnesses the Dairangers transform when they revive Wang Tiger. One day, he finds a Lai-Lai Jewel that reveals his true nature as Daimugen. However, he doesn't resume his true form until his new friend Kazu is in danger from the Gorma Four Deva Kings. Since then, Daimugen appears only when the Dairangers need his aid, changing into Super Mythical Qi Warrior Daimugen (超気伝武人ダイムゲン, Chō Kiden Bujin Daimugen?) by the command "Super Warrior Change!" (超武人変化, Cho Bujin Henge!?), to re-energize Ryuseioh. Using the crystal, Kameo can change into Daimugen at will while yelling "Super Mythical Qi Beast, Daimugen!", but at other times the crystal would cause him to turn into a small turtle. Eventually, Daimugen's fear of fighting is revealed to be the result of his first encounter with Daijinryuu long ago, but he manages to overcome his phobia to protect Ryuseioh from Daijinryuu. Kameo is portrayed by Sugisaku Imagawa (今川杉作, Imagawa Sugisaku).

Famous quotes containing the words mythical and/or beasts:

    For people who have no critical acumen, a state is a mythical entity, for those who think critically it is a rational fiction, created by man in order to facilitate human coexistence.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    Jesus our brother, strong and good,
    Was humbly born in a stable rude,
    And the friendly beasts around Him stood,
    Jesus our brother, strong and good.
    “I”, said the donkey, shaggy and brown
    —Unknown. The Friendly Beasts (l. 1–5)
