The Abarangers (アバレンジャー Abarenjā) are a group of fictional characters who are the primary protagonists of the Super Sentai series Bakuryū Sentai Abaranger. When they evoke their "Dino Guts", The Abarangers tap into the power of their Burstosaur partners, obtaining their strength and power as their own. Each also has an "Abare Mode" where the diamond pattern on their costumes become sharp blades.

Ryoga Hakua/Aba Red (伯亜 凌駕/アバレッド Hakua Ryōga/Abareddo) is the 22-year-old optimistic team leader of the Abarangers. He is a certified environmental protection investigator from the United States. Though he's overly confident, he has an extremely good nature and is friendly, warm hearted, and loving. He was given guardianship of Mai after his brother and sister-in-law died and gave his best to raise her. He eventually gained the power to become Abare Max (アバレマックス Abaremakkusu) after Asuka completed the StyRiser. His voice deepens as AbareMax. His Burstosaur partners are Tyranno and Styraco.
Ryoga's last name is derived from Hakuaki (白亜紀), which is Japanese for Cretaceous period.
In the finale, he returned to USA, and traveled across the country along with Mai.
Ryoga is portrayed by Kōichirō Nishi.
Yukito Sanjyo/Abare Blue (三条 幸人/アバレブルー Sanjō Yukito/Abareburū) is a charismatic 21-year-old chiropractor and the anti-hero of the group. Yukito will help anyone, but charges outrageously high prices for it. In one instance of the story, he asked Asuka for U.S. $400,000,000 in order to assume his role as AbareBlue - something Asuka naively accepted and promised to save and pay, much to Yukito's surprise. His Burstosaur partner is Tricera.
He seems cold, but has a kind heart underneath, though he will never fully reveal his feelings. Yukito chose to move into the Dino House with the others to avoid having to commute from the area where he lives. Yukito's anti-social personality comes from his past: when he was little, his father tried to succeed him into taking over the Sanjyo Corporation for the future. Yukito was forced to study daily and was never given breaks; he wasn't even allowed to have any friends. The father-son relationship was finally broken when his father paid his girlfriend's family to move away while he was in junior high. Yukito never forgave his father for that and claimed that he hated him, yet it was himself whom he actually hated for a long time.
Yukito's last name is loosely derived from Sanjūki (三畳紀), which is Japanese for Triassic period.
In the finale, Yukito returned to his chiropractor business.
In Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger vs. Abaranger, the Abarangers convince the S.P.D. Earth Branch to work with them after Yukito uses his chiropractic skills to fix Doggie Kruger's hidden back problem. Also in that film, it seems that Yukito was in a relationship with Emiri.
Yukito is portrayed by Shō Tomita.
Ranru Itsuki/Abare Yellow (樹 らんる/アバレイエロー Itsuki Ranru/Abareierō) is a 20-year-old technology mistress who owns a German BD-1 bicycle she nicknamed "Birdie." All she really wants is peace. She was formerly trained to be an idol, but Ranru hated it and left to work in the mechanical field. She is interested in anything mechanical, can create her own devices, and is a genius in mechanics. Ranru used to be afraid of nattō until she was forced to conquer it during a battle with a Trinoid. Ranru also carries a small camera with her and usually snaps photos of the enemy during mid-battle to come up with a strategy on how to defeat it. She sometimes has an itchy back and often wants others to scratch it for her. Her Burstosaur partner is Ptera.
Ranru's last name is loosely derived from Juraki (ジュラ紀), which is Japanese for Jurassic period (as the kanji for Itsuki can also be read as "Ju").
In the finale, Ranru goes to work at a racetrack.
Ranru is portrayed by Aiko Itō (いとう あいこ Itō Aiko).
Asuka/Abare Black (アスカ/アバレブラック Asuka/Abareburakku) is the story's main protagonist. Asuka is a warrior from Dino Earth with a sad past. He was the last of the people who fought the Evolians and escaped to Earth. He brought the Dino Bracelets and gave them to the Abarangers. When he arrived, the Dino Harp was damaged, so he couldn't transform. He lost his first battles as he couldn't use his Dino Guts correctly, until his true sense of justice awakened. Asuka is a melancholic person, he is fast-willed and fastidious, but his high expectations cause him to be depressed frequently. He has shown enormous amounts of power. He was able to defeat a Giganoid and an upgraded KillerGhost on his own. However, due to his gentle personality, he often holds back during battles. In one episode, it was revealed that his surname was "Ono," although he only uses it on Another Earth. His Burstosaur partner is Brachio.
In the finale, Asuka and Mahoro named their new child Mikoto after AbareKiller, and returned to Dino Earth with his family and the Burstosaur. Afterwards, a family, which looks exactly like Asuka, Mahoro and Lije, arrived at Dino House. During the events of Dekaranger vs. Abaranger, Asuka was brought back to Earth by his daughter's power to help the gang, and he was able to rescue Ryoga and Ban/DekaRed from Kazaku before they joined up with the others. Asuka appeared in the GoGo Sentai Boukenger vs. Super Sentai movie with Bracho and his second child. He, along with Tetsu, Tsubasa, and Nanami helped Eiji during his battle with Chronos. He transferred his "Passionate Spirit" power to AkaRed to power DaiVoyager.
Asuka is portrayed by Kaoru Abe.
Dr. Mikoto Nakadai/Abare Killer (仲代 壬琴博士/アバレキラー Nakadai Mikoto-Hakase/Abarekirā) is a brilliant doctor who was bored with his life until he witnessed the Burstosaur attack his city while under Evolien influence, caring for an injured Ryouga in the aftermath. But his new found excitement of destruction was halted when the Abarangers arrived and made the three things that would give him a thrill into "dull goodies." But soon, with the destruction of the Anamolicarus, Mikoto found both the prototype Dino Minder and Top Galer's egg. After that, Dr. Nakadai left his profession to start up his "game." For a while, until his formal introduction, Mikoto observed the Abarangers from the side while mastering the DinoMinder. He came to the conclusion that it would be fun to fight against the heroes, thus he named himself "Abare Killer." However, the Zerogo suit is a flawed prototype of the other Abaranger suits with a self-destruct mechanism that could destroy an entire city. Mikoto didn't seem to care that he would die, it actually made him more excited in "his game." He fought the Abarangers and used their stolen Dino Guts to revive his partner Top Galer before recruiting Stego to their cause.
Eventually, he assumed leadership over the villains at Lije's request. However, after fighting the Killer Giganoid with the Abarangers, it was revealed that the other half of Dezumozorlya is within him, which was the cause of his horrible childhood since he possessed its strength and evil tendencies. Furious of the fact that he was someone else's pawn, Mikoto decided to refocus his game on the Evoliens. It was also revealed that the reason the Dino Minder had not exploded yet was because the Dezumozorlya within him has been keeping it at bay. But once purged of the Dezumozorlya in him, in a sudden act of self-sacrifice, Mikoto and Top Galer flew above Earth's atmosphere so the Dino Minder would explode safely. Mikoto returned for a short time to help the Abarangers and Dekarangers in the Dekaranger vs. Abaranger movie, having been accidentally revived by Saunaginnan's power. But once the Trinoid is destroyed, Mikoto fades away as he told Asuka to give his daughter Mikoto his regards.
Mikoto is portrayed by Kotaro Tanaka.
The Ride Raptors are Velociraptor-like creatures, but are not as intelligent as the Burstosaur but are very much like horses. The Abarangers' use them as their main transportation.
The Burstosaur (爆竜 Bakuryū) are giant beasts from Dino Earth that evolved from the dinosaurs, they had a mutual friendship with the Dino People (竜人 Ryūjin) until the Evorians attacked. While most of the Burstosaur eggs were sent to Earth, Tyranno, Tricera, and Ptera fell under the Evolien's control. Sent to Earth, the three went on a path of destruction until their partners freed them.
Nicknamed "Tyranno" (ティラノ Tirano), the Burstosaur Tyrannosaurus (爆竜ティラノサウルス Bakuryū Tiranosaurusu) is AbaRed's partner Burstosaur, and the strongest of the first three Burstosaur. His jaws, strength, and sharp claws make him a tough opponent. His tail is his greatest weapon, which enables him to drill through anything. Although wise, he has a short fuse when it comes to Ryoga. He shows sympathy towards Mai since he understands the feelings of a father; he lost his wife and only child on Dino Earth to the Evolien, so he constantly pushes Ryoga up to be a good father figure for Mai. In fact, in the finale, Tyranno said to Ryoga that if he and Mai are not happy, he would come back and get him. Tyranno forms the majority of AbarenOh: the head, legs, body, left arm, and the blade of the Double-Tail Sword. He also detaches and donates his tail to another robot combination to add "Drill" suffix to the name, or with the Carnoryūtus's tail, the "Twin Drill" suffix. He ends his sentences with the word "Tera".
Tyranno is voiced by Takashi Nagasako (長嶝 高士 Nagasako Takashi).
Nicknamed "Tricera" (トリケラ Torikera), the Burstosaur Triceratops (爆竜トリケラトプス Bakuryū Torikeratopusu) is AbareBlue's partner Burstosaur, and the armored one among the three Burstosaur. Tricera can take a great deal of punishment from an opponent. He seems strong enough to topple every building in downtown Japan. Tricera is actually the youngest of the three Burstosaur, as his voice sounds like a Japanese pre-teen. In Episode 36, he wished to become human and suddenly became a little boy. The transformation was later revealed to be caused by an angel much to God's dismay. He fell in love with a woman, but sacrificed his human life to turn back into his normal form in order to protect Yukito. In the finale, Tricera thanked Yukito for everything. Tricera forms AbarenOh's right arm, shield, and the handle of the Double-Tail Sword. He also becomes a swap-in arm of another robot combination to add the "Triceratops" suffix to the robot (this is never seen in the footage). He ends his sentences with the word "Kera".
Tricera is voiced by Kōki Miyata (宮田 幸季 Miyata Kōki).
Nicknamed "Ptera" (プテラ Putera), the Burstosaur Pteranodon (爆竜プテラノドン Bakuryū Puteranodon) is AbareYellow's partner Burstosaur, and the fastest of the three Burstosaur. She can reach speeds of Mach 1.2 and higher, with her wings, beak, and shockwaves effective on any enemy. She is a kind and sweet Burstosaur. In the finale, Ptera told Ranru to look for a nice boyfriend. Ptera forms AbarenOh's helmet and "gown". The latter can be removed for the Ptera Cutter to become a bladed boomerang used by Abarenoh. She ends her sentences with the word "Pura".
Ptera is voiced by Emi Shinohara (篠原 恵美 Shinohara Emi).
Nicknamed "Brachio" (ブラキオ Burakio), the Burstosaur Brachiosaurus (爆竜ブラキオサウルス Bakuryū Burakiosaurusu) is AbareBlack's partner Burstosaur, and the biggest Burstosaur. He is wise, calm, and hates fighting. Brachio is the only Burstosaur that was immune to the Evoliens' control due to his partnership with Asuka. He resides at the bottom of Tokyo Bay and holds most of the other Burstosaur inside his body until they are needed. He recites rousing poetic speeches (actually puns on select Toei hero songs) when heading into battle. There's some indication that he may be the eldest and wisest of the Burstosaur. He made a brief cameo in the GoGo Sentai Boukenger vs. Super Sentai movie. He ends his sentences with the word "Bura".
Brachio is voiced by Banjō Ginga (銀河 万丈 Ginga Banjō).
A Pachycephalosaurus nicknamed "Bachycelo" (バキケロ Bakikero), the Burstosaur Bachyceloknuckles (爆竜バキケロナグルス Bakuryū Bakikeronagurusu) was the first of the Burstosaur eggs found. After being hatched, he remained at DinoHouse until he grew large enough to be placed in Brachio with the others. His personality is quite childish, similar to Tricera. He forms MaxRyūOh's right arm. In the finale, Bachycelo said to Mai that he's happy that she's so close with her dad (Ryoga), and to be good to him. The explanation of Bachyceloknuckles's name is very complex. Baki-baki is said to be the sound of many swift jabbing punches in Japanese manga. Naguru is a Japanese word for a punch, as thrown in a boxing match. These two words are spliced into the term Pachycephalosaurus thus: Baki-cephalo-naguru-us. Because the "saurus" splice onto the end of the word naguru sounds somewhat similar to the English word "knuckles", many mistakenly believe the Bakuryū's name to be BakyceloKnuckles. However, the Japanese phonetics for knuckles are nakkurusu (ナックルス), not nagurusu (ナグルス). He ends his sentences with the word "Baki".
Bachycelo is voiced by Sayaka Aida (相田さやか Aida Sayaka).
A laidback Dimetrodon nicknamed "Dimenoko" (ディメノコ Dimenoko), the Burstosaur Dimenokodon (爆竜ディメノコドン Bakuryū Dimenokodon) found in Kyoto's Kansai district. He becomes the interior of MaxRyuOh's right leg. He tends to be dopey now and then. He loves the music of Asuka's Dino Harp. In the finale, Dimenoko said to Sugishita to take care and to always be healthy. Noko comes from "nokogiri", a Japanese word for saw.
Dime is voiced by Daisuke Kishio (岸尾 だいすけ Kishio Daisuke).
A Stegosaurus nicknamed "Stego" (ステゴ Stego), the Burstosaur Stegoslidon (爆竜ステゴスライドン Bakuryū Sutegosuraidon) could combine with Top Galer into KillerOh, in which Stego forms the main body and head. He was taken by AbareKiller temporarily via mind control, but after awaking with his own willpower (separating KillerOh in the process), he left only to return to Abare Killer's side by his own will so he could fight at his full potential. Stego seemed to be the only one to really care about Mikoto's life, aside from Lije/Lijewel. His personality is almost similar to Ptera, but he can be a dunce like Dimenoko from time to time. In the finale, Stego asked Yatsudenwani why he was still on Earth.
Stego is voiced by Hiroshi Iida.
A Parasaurolophus nicknamed "Parasa" (パラサ Parasa) with a Spanish accent who can form the interior of MaxRyuOh's left leg, the Burstosaur Parasaurokkiru (爆竜パラサロッキル Bakuryū Parasarokkiru) was living in the Juan Fernández Islands, where he end up learning to speak Spanish, until he sniffed Asuka's scent and arrived in Japan. In addition, he's an avid piano player. In the finale, he said to Emiri to not lose her cheerfulness.
Parasa is voiced by Kōzō Shioya (塩屋 浩三 Shioya Kōzō).
A Tupuxuara nicknamed "Top" (Toppu) who was sealed for destroying a major DinoEarth city, the Burstosaur TopGaler (爆竜トップゲイラー Bakuryū Topugeira) was found and released by Abare Killer, whom he partnered with. He often employs his great speed in battle, which has been clocked at an astounding Mach 20. He calls Mikoto "human", as a sign of the no-affection relationship between them both. His personality is a hardcore lone wolf like his master. He died along with Abare Killer near the finale, but returned in Dekaranger vs. Abaranger and combined with AbarenOh to become Killer AbarenOh. Form's KillerOh's limbs and weapon, or the wings of AbarenOh Galer or BakurenOh Galer and with Stegoslidon, also assumes the same wing position for Killer AbarenOh, Killer BakurenOh, or OhOhAbarenOh.
Top is voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa (緑川 光 Midorikawa Hikaru).
A petulant Ankylosaurus nicknamed "Ankylo" (アンキロ Ankiro), who forms MaxRyuOh's left arm, the Burstosaur Ankyloveilus (爆竜アンキロベイルス Bakuryū Ankirobeirusu) often admits her lack of trust in the Abarangers, though still comes out to help when needed. It's interesting to note, that when she first contacted the Abarangers, she started them on a wild goose chase saying she was in the city, beach and farm. She was only found by accident and preferred to live a quiet life, until Asuka convinced her otherwise. In the finale, Kylo noted that Yatsudenwani was an interesting fellow.
Ankylo is voiced by Akemi Misaki.
The legendary Burstosaur Styracosaurus (爆竜スティラコサウルス Bakuryū Sutirakosaurusu) appeared atop a mountain before AbareMax during a very dire situation, when Brachio came under attack from the second Anomalicarus, leaving the Abarangers unable to fight with the other Burstosaur and helpless against Barugigenia. Along with him was the DinoCarry, a chariot which holds the Axe RhamphoGold (斧ランフォゴルド Fu Ranfogorudo) axes & Helmet SpinoGold (兜スパイノゴルド Kabuto Supainogorudo) helmet. Together, they destroyed Barugigenia and Stryacosaurus became AbareMax's partner. Its attack is Fireball Crash.
Because it is an ancient Burstosaur, it cannot speak in the human tongue; only through telepathy can it communicate with the Abarangers.
Burstosaur Firenokodon (爆竜ファイヤーノコドン Bakuryū Faiyānokodon) is a special episode CD-Exclusive Dimetrodon that hatched at Hawaii. It can combine with AbarenOh to form AbarenOh Nokodon Fire, forming a buzzsaw arm. It could similarly attach to the other robo combinations. Firenokodon never appeared in the show.
When combining, the basic Burstosaur formations use the command "Burstosaur Fusion" (爆竜合体 Bakuryū Gattai). When an additional Burstosaur is added to a formation, the command "Burstosaur Combine" (爆竜コンバイン Bakuryū Konbain) is used.
AbarenOh (アバレンオー Abaren'ō, Riot Union King): When Tyranno, Tricera, and Ptera combine, they form AbarenOh - a humanoid fighting machine. Tyranno forms the main body, legs, left arm-drill and head. Tricera forms the right arm and Ptera forms the helmet as well as the chest which becomes the Ptera Cutter. AbarenOh's finisher is Bakuryū Dengeki Drill Spin (爆竜電撃ドリルスピン Bakuryū Dengeki Doriru Supin) where it uses its left arm to pierce through an opponent's body. AbarenOh's other attacks include Burstosaur Blast, Tricera Punch, Burstosaur Fire Burst, Tyranno Drill and Burstosaur Salmon Hunter.
KillerOh (キラー王 キラーオー Kirāō, Killer King): When TopGaler and Stegoslidon combine, they form KillerOh. TopGaler forms its staff, the GaleSpear, as well as the arms and legs, whilst Stego forms the main body and head. It has the Burstosaur Hissatsu Death Stinger finisher. Other attacks are the Fillet Strike, Burstosaur Hissatsu Death Combustion and Death Combustion Fire. KillerOh can adopt all of the arm power-ups from the other relevant Blasatasaur.
Great Burstosaur Fusion Killer AbarenOh (爆竜大合体キラーアバレンオー Bakuryū Dai Gattai Kirā Abaren'ō, Killer Riot Union King): Created when AbarenOh combines with Top and Stego, initially to defeat BakurenOh, then appearing later in the series. It attacks by using Stegoslidon to slide down Brachio's tail, back, and neck, and then uses Burstosaur Multi-Combine, an attack which uses Tricera, Tyranno, Bachycelo, Dimenoko, Ankylo, and Parasa as arms at an extremely fast rate before using the Flying Drill Spin attack.
TopGaler can similarly combine with BakurenOh to form Killer BakurenOh, though this is never seen in the footage. In Dekaranger vs. Abaranger, Killer AbarenOh is formed without Stegoslidon, known as AbarenOh Galer, and its finisher in the teamup is Gatling Drill Spin attack by having the Dekaranger's Super Dekaranger Robo propel AbarenOh Galer forward with its Gatling Punch attack for its Flying Drill Spin instead of Stegoslidon.
MaxOhja (マックスオージャ Makkusu Ōja, Max Monarch): Styraco can combine with the DinoCarry to form a humanoid fighting robot - MaxOhja. Two of its attacks are Max Crusher and Max Thunder Spark, while its finisher is the Burstosaur Hissatsu Max Shoulder Attack. Styracosaurus's head becomes the chest of MaxOhja or MaxRyūOh, the tail forms either MaxOhJa's head or MaxRyuOh's back. The rest of Styraco forms the body and upper legs in both combinations with the DinoGarry as the lower legs (the wheels serve as MaxOhja's arms), the spike on the right wheel becomes the right "glove", and the left spike become the left "glove".
Sometimes, AbareBlack will pilot MaxOhja, along with piloting MaxRyūOh, whenever AbareMax can't do it. The two RhamphoGold become axes for MaxOhja, the hip armor or hand axes Oo-AbarenOh, or combine with the left "glove" spinning weapon of MaxRyūOh. SpinoGold becomes the head for MaxRyūOh or Oo-AbarenOh.
Super Burstosaur Fusion MaxRyūOh (爆竜超合体マックスリューオー Bakuryū Chō Gattai Makkusuryūō, Max Saur King): When MaxOhja combines with Bachycelo, Dimenoko, Parasa, Ankylo, and the Gold Trio, they form MaxRyūOh.
One of the most powerful combinations of the Burstosaur. Their major attack is Burstosaur Hissatsu RyuOh Buster, which involves the left arm causes an enormous tornado and the bazooka of the right arm discharges the energy shell. Another attack is Hissatsu Burstosaur Dai Shingeki Attack.
Strongest Burstosaur Fusion Oo-AbarenOh (爆竜最強合体オオアバレンオー Bakuryū Saikyō Gattai Ō Abaren'ō, Great Riot Union King): Created when AbarenOh combines with Stegoslidon, TopGaler, the two RhamphoGold, and SpinoGold.
It was only used once to destroy the Killer Giganoid. Its finisher is the Burstosaur Hissatsu Oo-Abare Full Throttle.
