Characters

The Justirisers

The Justirisers are three chosen humans who are granted the use of the mysterious Justipower, the "Earth's will" that was discovered by the Riserian Noulan who utilized it to seal away Kaiser Hades long ago. Each is based on a different Chinese legend. Each one is equipped with an In-Loader that allows them to summon a high-powered suit of armor that transforms them into a Justiriser. The transformation call is "Souchaku!" ("Equip!"). The In-Loader also acts as a communications device between the three Justirisers.

Riser Glen

Shouta Date is a stereotypical uninspired high-school student. He slacks off from both schoolwork and kendo practice. He does not take most things as seriously as he should, and it does not really change throughout the series. Shouta, as 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 schoolwork. Later in the series, Shouta also becomes the vessel for the power of Shirogane. As Riser Shirogane, Shouta seems to be in control but does not act up like he does, even as Riser Glen. He likes Yuka and worries a lot for her safety, sacrificing his Justi-power to save Yuka's life when Zora fatally wounded her. But it took Naoto's guidance and the Justi Crystal gathering energy to restore Shouta's Justiriser powers.

Riser Kageri

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

Riser Gant

Shinya Hiraga is a college student, who seems to be majoring in pharmacy and loves robotics. Shinya is much more serious than either Shouta or Yuka, and although he uses his powers as 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.

Riser Shirogane

The "Legendary Hero of the Azure Planet", Riser Shirogane is the physical manifestation of JustiPower sealed away within the Justi Crystal that Noluan gave to the Tendo Clan centuries ago. However, by combining the hearts of the three Justirisers, and the prayers of the Justi Crystal bearer, Glen becomes the vessel through which Shirogane comes into being. His power is so far over that of a single Justiriser, able to kill stronger enemy but only a last resort as he upholds sense non-violence at his enemies. His weapon the "Justi-Arms" can transform into three different modes, sword, blaster and lance. However, summoning and maintaining Shirogane takes a large toll on Mio, and she is usually unconscious for some time after a battle in which he is summoned.

Genseishin

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. During the final battle with the Daruga Army, Riseross Units 2 and 3 were revealed; enabling the Justi Risers to assumes their basic Genseishin modes.

Enoh

Ranga

A giant blue tiger, Seishinjuu Ranga (星神獣ランガ Seishinjū Ranga?) can only be summoned by Justiriser Kageri and can combine with Riseross to form Genseishin Nin-Riser (幻星神ニンライザー Genseishin Ninraizā?), forming the upper torso and arms. This Genseishin is built for high-speed battle and can fight both long and short range, using the Howling Burst and Typhoon Slice attacks. Ranga is represented by Byakko.

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 cookies.

But once exposed, Jinno battles the Justirisers in both human form and as Demon Knight. But, Mio's JustiCrystal reacts to his Riser Stone, he left after fighting Glen one on one. As the Justirisers grow as warriors, Demon Knight starts to harbor a rivalry against Glen after being defeated by him when the Justiriser achieved his full potential and causing him to lose his ability to change. After being saved by Danhauser, he manages to regain his ability to become Demon Knight at the cost of Danhauser being fatally wounded when he took an attack meant for Demon Knight. But before he died, Danhauser managed to give Jinno the truth behind his full potential yet to be revealed but unable to tell him of his true nature. It was only after Shouta saved him from Hades and then the appearance of Mira that Demon Knight's true nature is revealed, eventually joining the Justirisers as an ally against the Daruga Army. Eventually, after losing his full Riser Power to Daruga, Jinno settles things with Drak. During the final battle with Kurogane, Jinno adds his Riser Power to Mio's Justi power to give the Justirisers the energy to transform into Giant Shirogane to finish off Giant Kurogane.
