Final Attacks:
- "Raging Flame" - Riser Glen reinstarts his Glen Sword into the scabbard, where an energy meter begins to glow. When fully charged, the hand guard rotates. Glen then draws his sword and does a downward slash which creates a wave of fire that destroys the enemy.
- "Justi Blazer" - It is similar to "Raging Flame" except Riser Glen holds the sword in a reverse grip and when released, a burning blue crescent is shot from the sword setting the monster on fire. When he resheaths the sword, the monster explodes.
- "Justi Push" - As Shirogane, the blades of the Justi-Arms shoots a barrage of energy waves at the monster, destroying them.

[edit] Character Descriptions

Shota Date/Riser Glen - Shouta is your typical uninspired high school student. He slacks off from both school work and kendou practice. He does not take most things as seriously as he should, and it does not really change throughout the series. Shouta is the first Justiriser to awaken on screen, and the first to summon Genseijuu Riseross. After becoming a Justiriser, he takes up the job of protecting humanity instantly, and begins to take his kendo practice more seriously… although not his school work. Later in the series, Shouta also becomes the vessel for the power of Shirogane. As Shirogane, Shouta seems to be in control but does not act up like he does, even as Riser Glen.

Yuka Sanada/Riser Kageri - Yuka is a fairly popular girl in high school, and is an active member of the school's lacrosse team. Unlike Shota, who is set in his path of protecting humanity, Yuka is much more conflicted. She would rather go back to being a regular school girl, as her duties as Riser Kageri interfere more and more with her social life. But when confronted with danger, she does not hesitate to fight. Shouta eventually was worried for her protection, which Yuka in the end can handle the dangers of being at arms way.

Shinya Hiraga/Riser Gant - Shinya is a college student, who seems to be majoring in robotics. Shinya is much more serious than either Shota or Yuka, and although he uses his powers to fight, the fighting troubles him. He does not believe in just fighting to protect humanity, and questions why they were given the power, and what for. It takes much for anyone to become friends with him, and earning his trust is hard. Sometimes his strong heroic sense of chivalry leads to protecting Mio since he has deep feelings for the guardian, lest he wants to protect her from any harm.

Shiro Jinno/Demon Knight - Jinno is one of Kaiser Hades' strongest warriors, and is the only of his warriors to show a human form. Jinno originally uses his human form to trick the Justirisers into thinking that he might be an ally. In his first couple of appearances, he was able to take on all three Justirisers by himself, but as they grew as warriors, he started to harbor a rivalry against Shouta/Riser Glen, after he is defeated in a one on one duel. It is revealed that he used to be a warrior of justice, since the purple crystal design affixed on his right wrist was related to Mio's blue Justi Crystal and his powers were similar to the Risers. He eventually turns on Kaiser Hades and joins the Risers. However, he usually travels alone despite Shouta's efforts to have him join the team.

Justiriser Shirogane - the Legendary Hero of the Azure Planet, or in other words, Earth. If JustiPower is the Earth's willpower, then Shirogane is the pure physical manifestation of that power. Because of this, his power is sealed away in the Justi Crystal, and only by combining the hearts of the three Justirisers, and the prayers of the JustiCrystal bearer, can he come into existence. His power is so far over that of a single JustiRiser, that he can kill an alien that was giving all three Justirisers trouble, in one hit, but he doesn't resort to any violent attacks but upholds non-violence at his enemies. His weapon the "Justi-Arms" can transform into three different modes, Sword, Blaster and Lance. Shouta/Riser Glen is the vessel for this power, although Shirogane seems to have some consciousness of his own. This is perhaps the reason why Shouta seems much more serious while acting as Shirogane. However, summoning and maintaining Shirogane takes a large toll on the JustiCrystal bearer, and she is usually unconscious for some time after a battle in which he is summoned.

Mio Tendo - A young heiress to the Tendo estate and the bearer of the Justicrystal who stays close to the Risers at all times. She is accompanied by Reika, her assistant and personal bodyguard. When Shouta becomes Riser Shirogane, not only does the crystal drain him, but it also drains her life force to the point of exhaustion. Although she is depicted as the damsel in distress, she is considered to be the groups mentor, much to the crush of Kenta in one particular episode and her inexperience to domestic chores like cooking or baking. In battle, she can hold her own as she is an excellent archer.

Reika Motomiya - She is Mio's "bodyguard" specializing in hand-to-hand combat. She is capable of fighting henchmen and monsters while the Risers fighting else where. Much to some comical situations where she and Mio is under the Date household and assists in the appliance shop. She also arms herself with various kinds of batons, clubs, and trucheons. She values Mio as much as she can in protecting her and the duty that she is going to partake.

[edit] Mecha

Genseijuu Riseross - a giant dragon/dinosaur type robot that looks suspiciously like a cross between Mecha Godzilla and Gigan. Riseross can be summoned by any of the three Justirisers, but to use its full power, all three Justirisers need to pilot it. Despite the fact it has many powerful weapons of it own, it is the base to which each of the specific Genseijuu combine with, to form a more powerful robot called a Genseishin.

Genseijuu Enoh - a giant red phoenix/firebird, which can only be summoned by Justiriser Glen. It can combine with Riseross to form GenSeiShin KenRiser.

Genseijuu Kouki - a giant black turtle, which can only be summoned by Justiriser Gant. It can combine with Riseross to form GenSeiShin JuuRiser.

Genseijuu Ranga - a giant blue tiger, which can only be summoned by Justiriser Kageri. It can combine with Riseross to form GenSeiShin NinRiser.

Genseijuu Ryuuto - A winged, two-headed dragon which looks suspiciously like King Ghidorah minus one head. It can be summoned by either Justiriser Shirogane or Demon Knight and combines with Genseijuu Riseross to form Genseishin JustiKaiser.

Genseishin KenRiser (Phantom Star God "Sword Riser") - The combined form of Genseijuu Enoh and Genseijuu Riseross, is primarily piloted by Justiriser Glen. Genseijuu Enoh forms a new upper torso and arms, over Genseijuu Riseross, making a more humanoid appearance. GenSeiShin KenRiser usually fights with 2 swords which are stored in its wings, but combines them for its finishing attack.

Genseishin JuuRiser (Phantom Star God "Gun/Beast Riser") - The combined form of Genseijuu Kouki and Genseijuu Riseross, is primarily piloted by Justiriser Gant. Genseijuu Kouki splits into two, while Riseross turns upside down. Genseijuu Kouki makes new legs, while Riseross' legs now become massive clawed arms. The second part of Kouki, the shell, sits on top, and Riseross' tail folds over the head, making for a very powerful looking beast. Genseishin Juu Riser uses long range attacks for its finsihing move, but has been known to fight hand to hand with its powerful arms. It is also the slowest of the Genseishin.

Gen Sei Shin NinRiser (Phantom Star God "Ninja Riser") - The combined form of Genseijuu Ranga and Genseijuu Riseross, is primarily piloted by Justriser Kageri. Like with Enoh, Genseijuu Ranga forms a new upper torso and arms over Riseross creating a humanoid appearance. This Genseishin is built for high speed battle and can fight both long and short range.

Genseishin JustiKaiser - The combinded form of Genseijuu Riseross and Genseijuu Ryuuto, and is primarily piloted by Justiriser Shirogane. Like in JuuRiser, Riseross's legs become large clawed arms, and Ryuuto makes new legs.

[edit] Villains

Doctor Zora: A female alien scientist devoted to free the imprisoned Kaiser Hades from his prison. Doctor Zora is a bit fox-like in appearance and seems to be clad in copper-like armor. She is killed by Nin Riser when she just freed Kaiser Hades. She is also able to create robotic henchman called Cyber-Knights, who filled the 'Monster of the week' position.

Kaiser Hades: When he was freed by Doctor Zora, he took over the position of the lead-villain. Kaiser Hades has a demonic appearance and fights with sword and shield. To fight the Justi Risers, he called forth an elite group of warriors called the Death-Commando, led by the feared General Bachuss. (They also filled the 'Monster of the week' position). Hadess was killed by JustiKaiser when he tried to take the Risers on himself.

Demon God Daruga: Hades' big brother. After he heard his little brother Hades was killed by the Justi Risers, he planned to take vengeance by destroying the earth himself. He send forth the Rejandar forces, led by the vain General Adorocs, to distract the Risers from his arrival. When he arrived himself, he absorbed Demon Knight's true powers and turned into Riser Kurogane, the counterpart of Shirogane. He was killed when he fought a giant Riser Shirogane that was called forth by the combined powers of the 3 Justirisers, Mio, Reika and Jinno.
