Plot

Twenty thousand years ago, the Fairy race assisted humans in a battle against the Violent Demon Tribes and sealed them away. Due to modern day pollution and man's destruction of nature, the power of Fairy magic has weakened, allowing the seal to be broken and the Tribes escape. With the help of Doctor Dazai, Chiron, the last of the fairies, summoned five high school seniors. As children, they were showered with the "flames of spirit" of the fallen fairies in a forest, and can now hear Chiron's voice. Donning powered suits, the product of a collaboration between Chiron's magic and Doctor Dazai's science, the five become the Turborangers, juggling days of fighting with their regular school lives, in order to defeat the Violent Demon Tribes.

Hundred Violent Demon Tribes

The Hundred Violent Demon Tribes (暴魔百族, Bōma Hyakuzoku) are worshipers of violence and magic. They lost to human-Faery coalition 20,000 years ago. They are now free due to pollution having weakened the Faery magic that sealed them, with the Violent Demon Castle (暴魔城, Bōma Jō) as their operations base. They intend to conquer Earth and eliminate humanity. In the finale, the Violent Demon Castle is destroyed by the Super Turbo Builder.

• Great Violent Demon Emperor Ragorn (大暴魔帝王ラゴーン, Dai Bōma Teiō Ragōn) (2-38, 45-50): The absolute dictator of the Violent Demons. He is initially partly immobile as he can still move his head and arms, he always remained seated on his throne with a set of extra arms that can stretch which he uses to punish his subordinates when they fail him. He is shown merciless and cruel to everyone. He ends up sending Jarmin to her death after witnessing Zimba's brave sacrifice and that Yamimaru defeated the Turbo Robo. He sends Rehda to have his new Super Violent Demon Beast try to destroy the Turborangers. After Rehda and the Super Violent Demon Beast were both killed, he decides to punish Zulten with his powers for cowardice. He 'dies' after the conspiracy of Yamimaru and Kirika, who decided to kidnap Riki and pit him against Ragorn in a one-on-one battle to the death. Riki mortally wounds him with a stab at the heart, causing him to receive explosions while Zulten only watched helplessly from a distance, not able to lift a finger to help him because of the red thread barrier Yamimaru and Kirika placed to trap him with Red Turbo. However he becomes mobile after retrieves the monster-enlarging orb, he tries to kill Red Turbo and he grows giant and decides to punish the two traitors Yamimaru and Kirika for their treachery. He is then 'destroyed' by the Super Turbo Builder. He later revives himself by consuming energies of hatred and sadness around him, and becomes the gold-skinned and mobile Neo-Lagorn (ネオラゴーン, Neo Ragōn). He faces the Turborangers as a giant in the finale in which he is destroyed for good by the Super Turbo Robo.
• Violent Demon Doctor Rehda (暴魔博士レーダ, Bōma Hakase Rēda) (1-30): A bearded mystic genius with a nautilus shell-like head and a human face. He is second in command. Intelligent and cruel, he hates humanity and his schemes always involve the use of human deeds against humans themselves and mass killings of humans as well. He is usually portrayed to be the kind of field commander who does not show up often and works closely with Lagorn, receiving less ire and is entrusted with the most dangerous of operations. He is very skilled in witchcraft making him a powerful sorcerer. He was later sent to take care of the Turborangers with the Super Violent Demon Beast when both Jarmin and Zimba died where he almost buried them alive seeking revenge for Ragorn, as he was entrusted. When he saw the Turbo Robo pass by, he used his efforts to lure Red Turbo out to a battle hoping to divide the Turborangers. In that battle, Red Turbo and Rehda duel to the death. He reveals his illusion powers from his cape in an attempt to wipe out Red Turbo even with the ghosts of Jarmin and Zimba. However Red Turbo managed to counter his attacks by slashing his cape, mortally wounded him and performed a GT Slash which inevitably killed him where he exploded violently as he uttered his final words in an illusion form cursing the Turborangers.
• Dark Violent Demon Zimba (暗闇暴魔ジンバ, Kurayami Bōma Jinba) (1-28): A samurai-like masked warrior in black armor, expert in all martial arts with a mastery of swords. He loves to hate, a sadistic madman who takes pleasure in human hurts and his plans usually involve tearing apart loved ones which he enjoys which can be seen in most episodes he is in. The reason that is revealed in an earlier episode is because Zimba was once actually a man (or beast, violent demon) who fought with a powerful army for a princess he loved. At the end of the fateful battle, Zimba was worn down and near death—the princess, apparently human was disgusted by his ugly appearance as an oni and abandoned him for worms to devour. He died, a supernatural grudge born, transforming his corpse into the beast he is today. He is in love with Jarmin as well but denies it at times. When Ragorn was furious and started smacking him, Rehda and Jarmin with one of the extra arms from the throne while Zulten hid from Ragorn's wrath, he decided to protect his lover Jarmin and volunteered to finish the Turborangers to appease Ragorn. He bade farewell to Jarmin with a slashed bell who was sad to see him leave worrying he may never return. He was able to stop the Turborangers from being able to transform for a time but he was defeated by Red Turbo with a GT Crash and was finished off by the others with shots from the Turbo Laser. Yamimaru saw the opportunity to use him and he was enlarged which he defeated the Turbo Robo. However he was defeated by the Turbo Builder.
• Violent Demon Princess Jarmin (暴魔姫ジャーミン, Bōma Hime Jāmin) (1-29): A magician who, when angered, flashes her true face, which is that of a snake. A cold and somewhat cowardly woman who uses a whip. Her tactics involve deception like when she forced the Ice and Fire Violent Demons to fight for her. It was insinuated by Zulten that she used the Sigh Violent Demon to impress her lover Zimba but she reacted by whipping him. When Ragorn got mad and decided to punish the others, she attempted to beg to Ragorn but her lover Zimba intervened to save her from death. She was hurt to see Zimba bid her farewell with a slashed bell fearing he may never return. When Zimba was killed, she was hurt as she had feelings for him holding the bell that Zimba slashed earlier. She was sentenced to death by Ragorn after Zimba's death where she released her ally the Kuroko Boma. The downside was that whatever happened to her monster also happened to her. She fused her soul with her other half but was killed by the Turbo Rugger.
• Rage Flying Violent Demon Zulten (かっとび暴魔ズルテン, Kattobi Bōma Zuruten) (1-51): A fat, disgusting creature able to turn into golf cart-like vehicle for Jarmin. A cheat who does anything to win; weak willed, always sucking up to superiors. He was the last of the original four bad guys serving Ragorn to be killed. He was not in good graces with Ragorn for his cowardice (and serves as a scapegoat after the death of Rehda, he also tried to use Zulten Metal Type to win his position back) and remained hidden at times afterward but shows up at times especially after Rehda's death and during the arrival of Yamimaru and Kirika and remained unable to help his master during the battle of Red Turbo and Ragorn due to the red thread barrier placed by Yamimaru. He sided with the Wandering Violent Demons fearing his death but returned loyalty to Lagorn afterward being the type to side with whoever is in charge. He was killed when he tried to perform an assault on the Turbo Builder via fighter jets.
• Wular Soldiers (ウーラー兵, Ūrā Hei): The foot soldiers of the empire. They are black-skinned grunts able to merge into ball-shaped Wular Dumplings. Their name is derived from the Japanese term "urami" (grudge). They are led by Wular Captain Wu (ウーラー隊長ウー, Ūrā Taichō Ū) and Wular Captain Lar (ウーラー隊長ラー, Ūrā Taichō Rā), who are red colored, but they no longer show up later on. They had Wular Violent Demon (ウーラーボーマ, Ūrā Bōma) as their leader.

Wandering Violent Demons

The Wandering Violent Demons (流れ暴魔, Nagare Bōma) are Hanyo, the offspring of humans and demons.

• Yamimaru (ヤミマル, Yamimaru) (13-50): A Wandering Violent Demon who was refused from being a member of the 100 Violent Demon Tribes. Because he was half-demon, he was not sealed and simply wandered Earth for 20,000 years to obtain as much knowledge as he could, while never being accepted by people. In modern times, he assumed the guise of Hikaru Nagareboshi (流星光, Nagareboshi Hikaru) and got himself transferred to the same school as the Turborangers. His plan is to destroy both humans and Violent Demons and let the Wandering Violent Demons the only ones. Originally shaggy-haired, he later gains flashy red and black armor after the death of Rehda and with the help of Kirika. Before that, when he saw Zimba dead, he decided to use him at his own advantage to defeat the Turbo Robo by enlarging Zimba. He rides the giant bat Dragras which was destroyed when it sacrificed itself to destroy the monster Sealing Violent Demon. He plotted the downfall of Ragorn along ith Kirika. He apparently succeeded in Ragorn's supposed death by kidnapping Red Turbo and having the two battle against each other. He took charge of the Tribes until Ragorn's resurrection, when he was almost killed if not saved by Kirika. He became peaceful in the end possibly because he was in love with Kirika.
  • Weapons: Meteor Gun (流星銃, Ryūsei Jū), Dark Knife, Dark Axe (ヤミオノ, Yamiono), Dark Bow, Meteor Sword (流星剣, Ryūsei Ken), Dark Sticks (ヤミ棍棒, Yamikonbō), Dark Spear (ヤミヤリ, Yamiyari), Dark Shuriken (ヤミ手裏剣, Yamishuriken), Dark Spider (ヤミクモ, Yamikumo)
• Kirika (キリカ, Kirika) (30-50): Another Wandering Violent Demon. She originally lived as a normal girl named Sayoko Tsukikage (月影小夜子, Tsukikage Sayoko) until she learned that she is Wandering Violent Demon on her 18th birthday, shortly after finding that the man and woman who raised(and protected her for 20,000 years)were really just Skull Monsters. As Tsukikage, was an outcast in school who secretly loved Riki. She is permanently connected to Yamimaru through the "red thread of fate." Cruel and lacking compassion, her resentment of humans stems from her life of being bullied. She is repulsed that the blood running through her is a mixture of human and demon, deciding to call herself a full-fledged demon and throw away her humanity for Yamimaru, resulting in his power-up and her armor. She combined with the monster Armor Violent Demon to become Armored Kirika. Near the final, she and Yamimaru meets Kirika's true father, a peaceful demon named Kashim (カシム, Kashimu), who tells them of how much he loved Kirika's fellow peaceful, human mother, who wanted for both sides to coexist and this begins to break the hatred of Kirika and causes her to cease fighting. Because she knows the hatred and loneliness that Yamimaru has been suffered for 20,000 years, she wishes him to release his hatred so she tries to persuade him. In the finale, she manages to save Yamimaru and left to live a peaceful life with him, as Sayoko and Hikaru.
  • Weapons: five-pointed ringknife, Moonlight Sword (月光劍, Gekkou ken)

Violent Demon Beasts

The Violent Demon Beasts (暴魔獣, Bōmajū) are the monsters used in the field. Most of them have been sealed away while some were hidden. They are enlarged by their field commanders.
