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 loves 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 Glen's weapon is the Glen Sword, which can be unsheathed for better offensive capability and the sheathed again to charge up his finishing move, Raging Flame, which releases a wave of fire from his sword. He later picks up another finishing move, Flash Burst, which acts similarly to Raging Flame, except it is executed from a different stance.
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 Kageri's weapon is the Claw Attacker, which can be used in hand-to-hand combat or as a storage for her daggers, which can be used to attack at long range. Her finishing move is the Phantom Crush, which releases a highly concentrated shot.
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 Gant's weapon is the Gant Slugger, a double-barreled cannon that he uses in medium to long range combat. He can change the Gant Slugger into the Gant Rifle, which he uses for shooting at further ranges. His finishing move is Versus Cannon, which fires two extremely powerful beams of thunder from the Gant Slugger. He also can execute another finishing move called Thrust Shoot from his Gant Rifle, which acts similarly.
Riser Shirogane
The "Legendary Hero of the Azure Planet", Riser Shirogane is the physical manifestation of JustiPower sealed away within the Justi Crystal that Nolun 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. Becoming Shirogane grants Glen immense power that can easily defeat even the strongest enemy. It also changes Shouta's personality to a calmer and non-violent kind, contrasting the original to such an extent that he has on many occasions even spared an enemy or gave them a chance to retreat, only to be forced to kill them when they refuse. Becoming Shirogane caused shock to Shouta's body the first few times, but afterwards he was able to transform without difficulty. However becoming Shirogane takes an even larger toll on Mio, and she is usually unconscious for some time after a battle in which he is summoned.
Shirogane uses the Justi Arms in combat. Its default mode is a blade (Justi Blade), but can be switched to blaster (Justi Blaster) and lance (Justi Lancer) mode. He has two finishing moves. His first finishing move, Justi Crush, is used in the Justi Blade or Justi Lancer mode, and sends multiple, extremely powerful shockwaves. His other finishing move, Justi Burst, is used in Justi Blaster mode, and fires a powerful beam, similarly to Versus Cannon but much more powerful, and capable of even stunning the giant space beasts.

It can combine with Riseross to form the legs and back.
