[edit] Pollution Ministers

[edit] Yogostien

Land Pollution Minister Yogostein (害地大臣ヨゴシュタイン Gaichi Daijin Yogoshutain?) is the golden-armored general who leads the Gaiark's land-based Barbaric Machine Beasts, he uses a spear as his weapon and ends his sentences with "Nari". Though a serious sort, he rejoiced to see his subordinate Hiramechimedes arrives to aid him in destroying the Go-ongers. His name is a pun on the Japanese word for "to soil" (汚す yogosu?) and "Einstein" (アインシュタイン Ainshutain?).[1]

[edit] Kegalesia

Water Pollution Minister Kegalesia (害水大臣ケガレシア Gaisui Daijin Kegareshia?) is the human-looking general with a whip who leads Gaiark's sea-based Barbaric Machine Beasts. She has artificial human-like skin that regenerates and shoots steam from the projections on her back armor if she is in a foul mood, and the handle on her head cuts off this leakage. She ends her sentences with "Ojaru", is a heavy drinker, and hates to be called "Old Lady". While under the guise of Rena Kegareshi (汚石 冷奈 Kegareshi Rena?), Kegalesia develops a vendetta against Hant due to his falling in love with her guise and calling her loving things, like "pure", which are majorly offensive to a Gaiark. Her name is a pun on the Japanese word for "to get dirty" (汚れる kegareru?).[2]

[edit] Kitaneidas

Air Pollution Minister Kitaneidas (害気大臣キタネイダス Gaiki Daijin Kitaneidasu?) leads Gaiark's sky-based Barbaric Machine Beasts and uses a staff as his weapon. He experimented with Bikkurium's potent abilities prior to using it on Barbaric Machine Beasts. He ends his sentences with "Zoyo" His name is a pun on the Japanese word for "filthy" (汚い kitanai?).[1]

[edit] Hiramechimedes

Land Pollution Vice-Minister Hiramechimedes (害地副大臣ヒラメキメデス Gaichi Fuku Daijin Hiramekimedesu?, 15-) is Yogostein's subordinate and Gaiark's top tactical genius. Whenever inspired with a plan, the 3 lights on his head flash, with the ruler, sextant, and protractor on his body indicating the plan's greatness. In spite of being low ranked, Hiramechimedes is feared by the Engines, his victories against them making frightened husks of their former selves in his presence. However, on the day the Gaiark were expelled from Machine World, Hiramechimedes mysteriously disappeared during the fight only to resurface months later on the Human World to serve under Yogostein again after settling some loose ends with the Wing Engines as he thought he had. He has a screw which strengthens Ugatz. With his sword and blinding speed, he can perform Equilateral Triangle Slash (正三角形斬り Seisankakkei Giri?) and Isosceles Right Triangle Slash (直角二等辺三角形斬り Chokkaku Nitōhen Sankakkei Giri?). His name is a pun on the Japanese word for "flash" (閃き hirameki?) and "Archimedes" (アルキメデス Arukimedesu?). A running gag with Hiramechimedes is that the Go-ongers, besides Renn, mispronounce his name.

[edit] Barbaric Machine Beasts

The Barbaric Machine Beasts (蛮機獣 Bankijū?) are monsters created to pollute the Earth. They are each separated into one of three types that are under the Pollution Ministers: Savage Ground (蛮地 Banchi?), Savage Sea (蛮水 Bansui?), and Savage Sky (蛮気 Banki?). The Barbaric Machine Beasts are infused with a special energy called Bikkurium (ビックリウム Bikkuriumu?) that enlarges them in a process called Industrial Revolution (産業革命 Sangyō Kakumei?), however this process can be activated while the Barbaric Machine Beast is still alive. They are named putting the suffix "Banki" (バンキ Banki?) after the name of the object they are based on. Their forms are based on machines and various ancient culture works.

  • Shoukyaku Banki (ショウキャクバンキ Shōkyaku Banki?, 1): An incinerator (焼却炉 shōkyakuro?) Savage Sky Barbaric Machine Beast sent by Kitaneidas, putting stuff into the furnace on his forehead to induce smog and perform his attacks. Shoukyaku Banki prefers to burn flowers and anything pretty to improve the toxicity of his smog. He fails in his mission when the Go-ongers arrive, and is forcefully upgraded by the Pollution Ministers. Shoukyaku Banki is the first to be scrapped by Engine-Oh.
  • Pipe Banki (パイプバンキ Paipu Banki?, 2): A drainage pipe (排水パイプ haisui paipu?) Savage Water Barbaric Machine Beast sent by Kegalesia to pollute Earth's waters with the sludge from his pipes, tending to say "Jobber" in his sentences. The Go-ongers for fight him when he tests his powers at a dam, retreating after succeeding. He then returns later to pollute Shindaiba in giant form, attacking the Go-ongers once learning they are without their Engine Casts. But once the three get them back, Pipe Banki is then scrapped by Engine-Oh after a messy hostage situation.
  • Scoop Banki (スコップバンキ Sukoppu Banki?, 3): A scoop (スコップ sukoppu?) Savage Land Barbaric Machine Beast sent by Yogostein to attack Neo Tokio Hills, tending to say "Kappore" (a meaningless word sung for rhythm) in his sentences. His trademark attacks are "Landslide Blizzard" and the stronger "Super Landslide Blizzard", using his shovel gauntlets to scoop up boulders or bury his opponents in dirt. He is scrapped by Engine-Oh after being corrected by Go-on Blue that Musashi killed Kojirō not with two swords, but with a long bokken (the length of the Go-on Sword gave the Go-ongers a greater advantage over Scoop Banki's shovel gauntlets).
  • Spray Banki (スプレーバンキ Supurē Banki?, 4): A clumsy yet over eager spray bottle (スプレー supurē?) Savage Water Barbaric Machine Beast sent by Kegalesia as her assassin to steal the Engine Cast of Birca. He can shoot acid from his mouth. Wounded by Birca and Gunpherd before Engine-Oh scrapped him.
  • Jishaku Banki (ジシャクバンキ Jishaku Banki?, 5): A magnet (磁石 jishaku?) Savage Land Barbaric Machine Beast sent by Yogostein with the power of magnetism, able to take his opponents' weapons and use them. Though defeated in the first fight, Jishaku Banki is upgraded to Denjishaku Banki (デンジシャクバンキ Denjishaku Banki?), becoming an electromagnet (電磁石 denjishaku?) with greater power with his Fleming's Law attack until Hant destroys his power source. He is the first to be scrapped by Engine-Oh Birca.
  • Speaker Banki (スピーカーバンキ Supīkā Banki?, 6): A speaker (スピーカー supīkā?) Savage Sky Barbaric Machine Beast sent by Kitaneidas, able to convert beautiful soundwaves into noise pollution with his microphone spear before shooting out the resulting soundwaves from his speakers. Speaker Banki is later upgraded to generate louder soundwaves that can block most attacks. However, Speaker Banki's one weakness were the (nonfunctional) speakers on his feet. He is the first to be scrapped by Engine-Oh Gunpherd, as it could break through the barrier.
  • Bombe Banki (ボンベバンキ Bonbe Banki?, 7): A gas cylinder (ボンベ bonbe?, from the German bombe) Savage Water Barbaric Machine Beast sent by Kegalesia in her plan to get rid of Engine-Oh, though Carrigator almost ruined it. To that end, he intentionly had himself defeated to enlarge and use his Red Rust Beam on Engine-Oh, defeating him. However, Bombe Banki ends up being the first to be scrapped by GunBir-Oh.
  • Boring Banki (ボーリングバンキ Bōringu Banki?, 8): A boring machine (ボーリングマシン bōringu mashin?) Savage Land Barbaric Machine Beast sent by Yogostein to attack the city. Though he went to sleep suddenly, Boring Banki's sleep mode is a drilling mode to extract magma to destroy the city. In the end, Boring Banki is destroyed by both Engine-Oh and GunBir-Oh.
  • Lens Banki (レンズバンキ Renzu Banki?, 9): A lens (レンズ renzu?) Savage Sky Barbaric Machine Beast sent by Kitaneidas to use his power to teleport people into the Frame Dimension called Junk World, using its ability to mechanize humans as part of his plan to create new Ugatz.

  • Kagami Banki (カガミバンキ Kagami Banki?, 10): A mirror (鏡 kagami?) Barbaric Machine Beast created in a collberation by the three Pollution Ministers, tending to say "Mirror" in his sentences. Because of the pictures Lens Banki took before being destroyed, Kagami Banki can use the mirror on his chest to duplicate the Engines' attacks with his "Mirror Effect". After being recharged with Bikkurium, which took longer in his case, Kagami Banki reveals his true Land/Sky/Sea Form, possessing the powers of all three Pollution Ministers, using it in his "Mirror Bomb" attack. He is the first to be scrapped by Engine-Oh G6.
  • Antenna Banki (アンテナバンキ Antena Banki?, 11): An antenna (アンテナ antena?) Savage Sky Barbaric Machine Beast sent by Kitaneidas, it can interfere with television signals by sending his own special hypnotic ones to control anyone who saw a television getting that signal, brainwashing the masses into polluting the city while forcing the Go-ongers apart with what their desire the most save Gunpei.

Though tried to take adventage of his current state, Hatsuden loses it after listening to the others' babbling and runs off to find Yogostein. When Yogostein retreated as his minion is exposed, Hatsuden Sōsuke attempts to destroy the Go-ongers as Go-on Red. By then, Go-Ongers managed to revert this by shooting a special Sōsuke Soul into Hatsuden Go-on Red with the Junction Rifle, returning the Barbaric Machine Beast back into his body. But now hampered by a cold that Sōsuke had been suffering, Hatsuden Banki is scrapped by Engine-Oh G6.
  • Hikigane Banki (ヒキガネバンキ Hikigane Banki?, 13): A trigger (引き金 hikigane?) Savage Water Barbaric Machine Beast under Kegalesia, ranked as Gaiark's top sniper and says "Gane" in his sentences. He was sent to take Būkorin back to Gego, whom he called "Boss" (兄貴 Aniki?) for stopping his attack without trouble. Using his various attacks, like "Water Magnum", Hikigane Banki overpowers the Go-ongers until Renn arrives to even the odds. He is scrapped by Engine-Oh G6, with his only regret not to see the Chunichi Dragons' winning streak one last time.
  • Kama Banki (カマバンキ Kama Banki?, 14): A bath heater (風呂釜 furo kama?) Savage Water Barbaric Machine Beast sent by Kegalesia, says "Come On" in his sentences. Using the mist from his nostrils, Kama Banki can teleport people into the hotsprings on his head, removing any interference in Gaiark's plan. It is only after reaching enlightenment that the Savage Machine Beast's power reaches its zenith, though Kama Banki is no match for a love-filled Hant before a "mixed-up" Engine-Oh G6 scraps him.
  • Oil Banki (オイルバンキ Oiru Banki?, 16): An oil (オイル oiru?) Savage Water Barbaric Machine Beast sent by Kegalesia who can create a super slippery oil slick on the city, incapacitating not only normal ground vehicles but Engine-Oh G6.
