Chouriki Sentai Ohranger (超力戦隊オーレンジャー Chōriki Sentai Ōrenjā?), translated into English as Super-Powered Squadron Ohranger, is a Japanese Tokusatsu television series. It was Toei Company Limited's nineteenth production of its Super Sentai television series. Its footage was used in the American series Power Rangers: Zeo. "Oh" (オー Ō?) is a pun on "olé" (オーレ ōre?), "aura" (オーラ ōra?), and the Japanese word for "king" (王 ō?). "O.H." was also given as the acronym for "Overtech Hardware", the organization the team is part of, adding to the pun. The series was originally intended as a twentieth anniversary series for the Sentai franchise, and many writers from older series came back to work on the show with the plan for a dark theme. However, due to the events that occurred in Japan around the time the series was aired, like the sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway, Ohranger received much altering to its theme that made it the least popular Sentai show to date. In the closing credits for Power Rangers: Zeo, the title is romanized as "O Rangers". Since then, the series created a large following.

[edit] Plot
"Only those who have learned the power of the Super-Civilization will be able to save humanity from its greatest crisis: Baranoia, the Machine Empire, which plans to invade the Earth…!"
Six hundred million years ago, Pangaea created a robot named Bacchus Wrath, who turned on his creators. The King Ranger defeated Bacchus Wrath and banished him from Earth. In the year 1999, Bacchus returned to Earth as the ruler of the Baranoia Empire, with the intention of wiping out all human life and bring about machine rule. Chief Counsellor Miura revived super energies that had been born of the lost civilization of Pangaea. With the assembling of pieces of a stone plate uncovered three years previously, the secrets of "Super Power" were revealed. Miura built a pyramid to generate Tetrahedron power in order to allow five UAOH officers to transform into OHRangers.

[edit] Allies
- Gunmajin (ガンマジン Ganmajin?): An ancient warrior known for his honor and courage. Imprisoned within the form of a tiny tiki, the only way to unlock his power is by placing a key into his forehead and reciting the magic words "Ganma Ganma Dondoko Ganma" (ガンマガンマ ドンドコガンマ Ganma Ganma Dondoko Ganma?). For some reason, the key always ended up in the hands of a child and everyone knew the magic words. When awakened, Gunmajin would grant a single wish to his discoverer as long as it didn't mean harm to anyone. There were times in which he simply didn't like the wish and refused to grant it or punished his awakener for lying to him. Gunmajin possessed the Majin Saber through which he focused his power into the four styles of Majin One Sword Fencing (Fire, Lightning, Wind and Blinding Light). In the series finale, he took Acha, Kocha, and Buldont, Jr. to his care. In OhRanger vs. Kakuranger, he is revealed to be terrified of Youkai (monsters fought by Kakuranger).
- Chief Counsellor Naoyuki Miura (三浦尚之 Miura Naoyuki?): The OHRangers' commander, a dedicated leader who refuses to give up no matter what. An anthropologist and scientist as well, he used his knowledge about ancient civilizations and technologies to create all the OHRangers' arsenal and mecha, as well as their suits.

[edit] Machine Empire Baranoia
The Machine Empire Baranoia (マシン帝国バラノイア Mashin Teikoku Baranoia?) is a cruel race of machines out to conquer Earth. Possessing countless armies, Takopas jet fighters, Baranoia was a force to reckon with, having already conquered an entire chain of galaxies before reaching Earth. It was when the Empire arrived on Earth that they finally encountered a power capable of blocking their forces: the OHRangers.
- Emperor Bacchus Wrath (皇帝バッカスフンド Kōtei Bakkasufundo?) (1-34, 39-40): The ruler of Baranoia, Bacchus was created 600 million years ago by an ancient race. He turned to evil and was banished into the depths of space by KingRanger. Very violent. Doesn't tolerate failure. In episode 34, He grew in power and eventually battled the OHBlocker, but was destroyed in the fight. However, his head survived and gave all his energy to his son Buldont to turn him into Kaiser Buldont, resulting in Bacchus' total shutdown. Name is from god Bacchus (?).
- Empress Hysteria (皇妃ヒステリア Kōhi Hisuteria?): Wife of Bacchus Wrath, she usually remains in the fortress devising plans with her husband, though she does go down to Earth by herself at times. She usually carries a metal fan with her. She despised humans for their feelings, but after the Empire's takeover by Bomber the Great, she started to learn the value of life and feelings. She eventually self-destructs in order to protect her grandchild, due to her own realization of feelings. Her body color changed from gold to silver when she gave all her power to her niece Multiwa. Name is from Hysteria, a term coined in ancient Greece.
- Prince Buldont (皇子ブルドント Ōji Burudonto?): The son of Bacchus Wrath, he is basically a robot child. Mischievous and spoiled, he thought of humans as simple toys. He once attempted to direct his own movie, "Century of the Machine Empire", by using humans with no notion that they die from the realism. After his father's death, Buldont challenged Bomber the Great to a duel for the throne of Baranoia and lost. His body and Hysteria were banished to Space. However, Bacchus, who somehow managed to survive via his head, managed to give all his remaining energy to his son, and turned him into Kaiser Buldont (カイザーブルドント Kaizā Burudonto?), a fully-grown form. After returning to Baranoia and destroying Bomber the Great, Buldont regained the leadership of Baranoia. He died fighting the OHrangers alongside his wife Multiwa in the series finale at the hands of King Pyramidder Battle Formation. Name is from the god Pluto.
- Bomber the Great (ボンバー・ザ・グレート Bonbā za Gurēto?) (35-41): Called the "Universal Bomb Bastard" (宇宙の爆弾野郎 Uchū no Bakudan Yarō?), Bomber the Great was just another one of Baranoia's Machine Beasts, yet was able to turn his entire body into a missile. He was exiled after a failed attempt to take over the Baranoia Empire, only to return upon hearing of the death of Bacchus-Wrath to try and take over once again. This time he set his sights on trying to take over the empty throne. After revising the Baranoia Constitution, Art 12, Bomber challenged Buldont to a duel for the Empire which he won and banished Buldont, and later Hysteria, proclaiming himself "Bomber the Great the 1st, new Emperor of Baranoia". At first, being new to the throne, Bomber did his best at leading the Empire, trying to win Hysteria's affections and to kill the OHRangers in the process, but consistently met with failure in both prospects. He was eventually killed by the OHRangers after Kaiser Buldont returned to take back his birthright and Multiwa took control of Bomber by reprogramming him. Bomber was soon sent on a suicide mission to kill the OHRangers, but was destroyed by a massive ball of fire thrown by King Pyramider Battle Formation (OHBlocker) before he could accomplish this. He was rebuilt, shortly afterwards, to destroy sun, only to be flung to the other side of space by Gunmajin and be destroyed for good.
- Princess Multiwa (マルチーワ姫 Maruchīwa Hime?) (40-48): Hysteria's niece and Buldont's cousin who appeared around the same time Buldont was upgraded and returned to reclaim the throne. She aided him by using their power to reprogram Bomber their slave which later led to his destruction. The two married after Buldont became the new ruler of Baranoia. Her main weapon is a bow, which can also become a sword. She eventually died by her husband's side at the hands of King Pyramidder Battle Formation's Super Legend Beam, but not before she bore him a son. Fits the theme of Cupid.
- Buldont Jr. (ブルドントＪｒ． Burudonto Jr.?) (47-48): Kaiser Buldont and Princess Multiwa's child, born around the time of his parents and grandmother's destruction. Lives with Acha, Kocha and Ganmajin after the death of his parents.
- Machine Beast Tamer Keris (マシン獣使いケリス Mashin Jū Tsukai Kerisu?) (26-28): An Officer who came to Earth to help destroy KingRanger. She was in charge of taming the Machine Beasts. Could assume a female human form. First enemy to be killed by King Pyramider's Battle Formation.
- Butler Acha (執事アチャ Shitsuji Acha?): Baranoia's Imperial Family Butler who follows whoever is in command at the time. He read the War Declaration to Earth in Episode 2. Took care of young Buldont when in the field, even serving as the producer of his movie. When Bomber the Great took over, he simply forgot about Hysteria and served him. When Buldont returned, the same happened, Acha would't care less about Bomber. At the end of the series, he turned good and went with Kocha, Buldont and Multiwas's son, and Gunmajin back to Gunmajin's planet. Fits the theme of a jester.
- Butler Kocha (執事コチャ Shitsuji Kocha?): A miniature robot who served the family along Acha. It was always on his bigger counterpart's shoulder like a pirate captain's parrot. In episode 8 an enlarging beam for the Machine Beasts was installed. At the series finale he was taken by Gunmajin back to Gunmajin's home planet. Like Acha, fits the theme of a jester.
- Barlo Soldiers (バーロ兵 Bāro Hei?): Mass-produced android troops of the Machine Empire of Baranoia. Their movements and general behaviour are similar to that of monkeys. Have sticks, that can extend into battle staffs or spears and give off an electric shock, as weapons and their heads can open so they can throw cutter discs or nets from their mouths and energy blasts from their eyes. They pilot the Takonpas jet fighters.
- Takonpas (タコンパス Takonpasu?): Octopus-like Jet fighters which could switch to a "walking" mode. Takonpas fighters seems to be a direct homage to the Martian Tripods in H.G. Wells' novel, War of the worlds. Piloted by the Baro Soldiers.
- Baracticas (バラクティカ Barakutika?): Bigger fighters in the shape of gears. Means of transportation from Baranoia to Earth.
[edit] Machine Beasts
Produced in the Dark Side of the moon by Baranoia, Machine Beasts (マシン獣 Mashin Jū?) are the main weapons used for Earth's invasion. There would be different types of Machine Beasts, from mindless weapons of destruction to robots with intelligence or feelings superior to that of humans.
- Machine Beast Bara Drill (バラドリル Mashin Jū Bara Doriru?, 1, 33): The first Machine Beast to be sent to Earth, it was destroyed single handedly by OHRed. A second Bara Drill was later built, only to be destroyed by Green Blocker.
- Machine Beast Bara Saucer (バラソーサー Mashin Jū Bara Sōsā?, 2, 33): A giant Machine Beast that could attack with tentacle arms, using them to bind and shock enemies. It was the first giant monster the Ohrangers encountered and as such, caused quite the problem for them. However, using massive amounts of teamwork with their new weapons, the Ohrangers hacked apart Bara Saucer and finished it with the newly formed Big Bang Buster. A second Bara Saucer was built, only to be destroyed by Blue Blocker.
- Machine Beast Bara Vanish (バラバニッシュ Mashin Jū Bara Banisshu?, 3, 33): A land mine-like Machine Beast sent to Earth in retaliation for the Ohrangers' debut. Equipped with and using a solar-powered sensor, Bara Vanish is able to turn itself invisible gaining an advantage over its opponents in sunlit and unlit areas. Gorou managed to save a boy who took a small crystal Vanish wanted. Once its' light sensor was destroyed, Bata Vanish was killed by the Big Bang Buster.
- Machine Beast Bara Crusher (バラクラッシャー Mashin Jū Bara Kurasshā?, 4, 33): A Machine Beast brought to Earth by Acha, Crusher ambushed the Ohrangers in the boiler room of an apartment building. Though destroyed by the King Smashers, Crusher bit a Police Officer just prior to its death, infecting the man with insect-bots that entered his bloodstream and converted him into a new Bara Crusher. This new Bara Crusher started kidnapping children and infecting them. The Ohrangers interfered, with the 2nd Bara Crusher accidentally torching the building and forcing to take his son from harm. The Ohrangers managed to use Bara Crusher's fear of fire and heat to force it out of the officer, with the bug blasted by GoRed's King Blaster. A third Bara Crusher was built in 33, destroyed by Yellow and Pink Blockers.
- Machine Beast Bara Cactus 1 & 2 (バラカクタス Mashin Jū Bara Kakutasu 1 & 2?, 5): Brother robots, who care for each other. Caused one child to start becoming a Machine Beast himself after hitting him with needles. In the battlefield, they are a formidable force, creating multiple blasts and attacks that cause mass havoc. After some dissension between the brothers, it was determined that Bara Cactus 1 would take on the OHRangers alone, with the well-being of his brother on the line. But when Bara Cactus 1 survived, he found his brother dead. He was soon killed by Bacchus-Wrath himself, using the two brothers as a reminder of the price of failure.
- Machine Beast Bara Brain (バラブレイン Mashin Jū Bara Burein?, 6-7): A cunning beast who was sent to trick and capture Chief Miura into revealing the location of the OHRanger Robo by kidnapping and controlling Mika, the young orphaned daughter of an old U.A.O.H comrade. After the death of his creation Bara Separate, he died himself, having been linked mentally to Bara Separate.
- Machine Beast Bara Separate (バラセパレート Mashin Jū Bara Separēto?, 6-7): A giant robot controlled by Bara Brain that defeated the OHRangers before they combined the OHRanger Robo together. Bara Separate could radiate destructive lightning, and fire power blasts from his arms. The top segment of the star on his back could detach and transform into a boomerang of destructive energy. Separate also had the ability to transform into a large metal sphere, making it practically invulnerable to any attack. Eventually the OHRangers managed to form OHRanger Robo and kill the monster by destroying the sphere before it could gather the rest of its' body together.
- Machine Beast Bara Missiler (バラミサイラー Mashin Jū Bara Misairā?, 8, 33): Bara Missiler comes from the army on the planet Dorora. It was the first Machine Beast to be enlarged, and could fire missiles from its arms and shoulders. It could also fire chains from its torso which could ensnare an opponent. It was capable of flying at extreme speeds and could operate in outer space. Killed by OHRanger Robo. Killed again in episode 33 by Red Blocker, when a second Bara Missiler was built.
- Machine Beast Camera Trick (カメラトリック Mashin Jū Kamera Torikku?, Movie, 39): A small bird-resembling video camera monster. Camera Trick flew about to audition the stars of Buldont's movie. It was the only Machine Beast left to aid in Buldont's next project. Fate remains unknown.
- Machine Beast Steam Punk (スチームパンク Mashin Jū Suchīmupanku?, Movie): A robotic train monster who says "baby" in his sentences and could turn into an actual train. Steam Punk was created when all the monsters in the movie fused together into one monster, abducting the children due to being a weak monster. Once he lost his leverage, Steam Punk shrank and attempted to escape on a train track. But, Ohranger Robo sliced the track apart with Super Crown Crash, with Steam Punk unable to stop as he fell to his death below.

- Machine Beast Bara Darts (バラダーツ Mashin Jū Bara Dātsu?, 9, 33): A Scorpion Machine Beast who threw parts at people or objects making them rust. Juri appeared to side with him and betray her teammates after Gorou, Shouhei and Yuuji had been hit, but this was a farce to gain the antidote, which Bara Darts also had. Killed by OHRanger Robo.
- Machine Beast Bara Hacker (バラハッカー Mashin Jū Bara Hakkā?, 10): Hacked information about the Ohrangers and their weapons, using his special talents. He was easily able to block the King Smashers, and the Big Bang Buster. It took the newly introduced Giant Roller to bring him down. Killed by OHRanger Robo.
