The Goggle-V is a team that was recruited and formed by the Future Science Laboratory; their battle phrase is "Fight! Dai Sentai Goggle-V!" (斗え!大戦隊ゴーグルファイブ!, Tatakae! Dai Sentai Gōguru Faibu!). Like Denziman, their surnames include their color.

Arsenal

The team has many combination attacks, such as the Lightning Ropes (イナズマロープ, Inazuma Rōpu), the Dynamite Clubs (ダイナマイトクラブ, Dainamaito Kurabu), the Ring Spin Typhoons (リングスピンタイフーン, Ringu Supin Taifūn), the Lightning Balls (電光ボール, Denkō Bōru), the Ribbon Sparks (リボンスパーク, Ribon Supāku), the Goggle Victory Flash (ゴーグルビクトリーフラッシュ, Gōguru Bikutorī Furasshu), the Goggle Bomber (ゴーグルボンバー, Gōguru Bonbā), the Sabre Attack (サーベルアタック, Sāberu Atakku), and the Goggle Golden Spear (ゴーグルゴールデンスピア, Gōguru Gōruden Supia). All are armed with Goggle Sabres (ゴーグルサーベル, Gōguru Sāberu).

Dark Science Empire Desdark

From the time when iron was discovered in ancient Turkey, the Dark Science Empire Desdark (暗黒科学帝国デスダーク, Ankoku Kagaku Teikoku Desudāku) have existed to move the world in the shadows. United by Fuehrer Taboo, they are based from the Dark Giant Castle Destopia (暗黒巨大城デストピア, Ankoku Kyodaijō Desutopia) that launches giant robots from its gate. It is usually underwater, but it can fly. When in flight, its high-power propulsion winds wreak destructive chaos underneath.
