Ressha Sentai ToQger (烈車戦隊トッキュウジャー, Ressha Sentai Tokkyūjā) is a Japanese tokusatsu series that serves as the 38th installment in the Super Sentai franchise and the 26th entry in the Heisei era.
Main characters
editToQgers
editThe eponymous ToQgers are five children who the Rainbow Line recruited for their imagination (イマジネーション, imajinēshon) and aged up to young adults to stop the Shadow Line from plunging the world into darkness, though they initially lack memories of their past and how they came to be recruited. As the series progresses, the ToQgers eventually learn their imagination saved them when the Shadow Line took over their hometown, Subarugahama (昴ヶ浜), when Emperor Z took notice of Right's inner light. Though Right ended up on a Cryner due to his encounter with Z while his friends were brought to the Rainbow Line, they work together to defeat the Shadow Line, recover their memories, and return home, even at the potential cost of remaining trapped in their adult forms and being forgotten by their loved ones. Along the way, they are joined by a Shadow Creep who seeks to repent for his sins by dying in battle. Ultimately, the ToQgers succeed in freeing and returning to Subarugahama and are returned to their original ages.
The ToQgers transform by using the ToQ Ressha (トッキュウレッシャー, Tokkyū Resshā), miniature versions of their regular Ressha, in conjunction with the railroad crossing-like ToQ Changer (トッキュウチェンジャー, Tokkyū Chenjā) brace. While each member has a primary ToQ Ressha with an associated color and weapon, they can also swap them with each other via Transfer Change (乗り換えチェンジ, Norikae Chenji). Additionally, each ToQger carries a ToQ Blaster (トッキュウブラスター, Tokkyū Burasutā) sidearm, which can switch between its handgun-like Uchimasu Mode (ウチマスモード, Uchimasu Mōdo)[a] and its sword-like Kirimasu Mode (キリマスモード, Kirimasu Mōdo),[b] as well as Rainbow Passes (レインボーパス, Reinbō Pasu) to board the Ressha.
By combining their personal weapons, the primary ToQgers can form the Renketsu Bazooka (レンケツバズーカ, Renketsu Bazūka),[c] and use it in conjunction with the Energy Ressha (エナジーレッシャー, Enajī Resshā) to perform the Rainbow Rush (レインボーラッシュ, Reinbō Rasshu) finisher. After acquiring the Hyper Ressha, they gain access to the railway turntable-like Daikaiten Cannon (ダイカイテンキャノン, Daikaiten Kyanon),[d] which allows them to perform the Hyper Last Train Crash (ハイパー終電クラッシュ, Haipā Shū Den Kurasshu), Hyper 5 Connection Crash (ハイパー5連結クラッシュ, Haipā Go Renketsu Kurasshu), Hyper 4 Connection Crash (ハイパー4連結クラッシュ, Haipā Yon Renketsu Kurasshu), and ToQ Last Train Crash (トッキュウ終電クラッシュ, Tokkyū Shū Den Kurasshu) finishers.
Right
editRaito Suzuki (鈴樹 来斗, Suzuki Raito), also known as Right (ライト, Raito), is a spirited youth who is always facing and rushing forward to seize the joy of life, usually gives it his all, and the type to easily be fired up and go against the odds. Out of the five ToQgers, Right's imagination is the strongest, as he inspires others to believe in what he believes in, often pulling his friends along whether they like it or not. He often acts before he thinks and hates cramped places. Additionally, he is initially the only ToQger with any form of memory of their pasts. In combat, he has a habit of initiating Transfer Changes without asking for permission, often annoying his friends and the Conductor.
Later in the series, it is revealed he lives with his grandfather Tsuyoshi (剛史), mother Yumi (優美), younger sister Mai (舞), and younger brother Yuto (優斗, Yūto), and was accidentally infused with Emperor Z's darkness when Subarugahama was consumed by darkness. This resulted in Right ending up in a Cryner instead of the Rainbow Line when the ToQgers were recruited and gradually lose his imagination. Nevertheless, with help from his friends and mother, Right regains his imagination and safely returns to Subarugahama with them.
As ToQ 1gou (トッキュウ1号, Tokkyū Ichigō), normally colored red, Right wields the Rail Slasher (レールスラッシャー, Rēru Surasshā) sword.[1] With the Hyper Ressha, he can transform into Hyper ToQ 1gou (ハイパートッキュウ1号, Haipā Tokkyū Ichigō). While possessing Emperor Z's darkness, Right can transform into a black-colored version of his ToQger form known as Dark ToQ 1gou (闇のトッキュウ1号, Yami no Tokkyū Ichigō) at the cost of his imagination. During his final battle with Z, Right uses the Hyper Ressha and his teammates' ToQ Ressha to transform into the multicolored Rainbow ToQ 1gou (虹のトッキュウ1号, Niji no Tokkyū Ichigō).
Right is portrayed by Jun Shison (志尊 淳, Shison Jun).[2][3] As a child, he is portrayed by Homare Mabuchi (馬渕 誉, Mabuchi Homare).
Tokatti
editHaru Tokashiki (渡嘉敷 晴, Tokashiki Haru),[e] also known as Tokatti (トカッチ, Tokatchi), is a highly cautious yet clumsy and bookish member of the group who the others befriended when he first moved to Subarugahama. While he is the type that wants to investigate and research first and specializes in analyzing enemies and making plans, he tends to be flighty, overreact to everything, and becomes incessant in regards to results. Additionally, he has trouble with being punctual, thinking on the fly, and improvising due to his deliberate thought processes. Despite these traits, his friends view him as the smartest member of the group, though he personally believes Hikari is smarter than him.
As ToQ 2gou (トッキュウ2号, Tokkyū Nigō), normally colored blue, Tokatti wields the Home Trigger (ホームトリガー, Hōmu Torigā) raygun.[5] With the Hyper Ressha, he can transform into Hyper ToQ 2gou (ハイパートッキュウ2号, Haipā Tokkyū Nigō).

Mio
editMio Natsume (夏目 美緒, Natsume Mio) is a sporty, tomboyish youth and the daughter of a police officer father named Kohei (公平, Kōhei) who instinctively cares for others and displays no tolerance for underhanded tactics while hiding the more delicate and romantic aspects of her personality, the latter especially due to being uncomfortable with the idea of romance. Because of this, she is quite popular with the boys and acts as the team's big sister.
As ToQ 3gou (トッキュウ3号, Tokkyū Sangō), normally colored yellow, Mio wields the Signal Hammer (シンゴウハンマー, Shingō Hanmā).[7] With the Hyper Ressha, she can transform into Hyper ToQ 3gou (ハイパートッキュウ3号, Haipā Tokkyū Sangō).

Hikari
editHikari Nonomura (野々村 洸, Nonomura Hikari)[f] is an unhurried, quick-witted, and calm youth who often sits alone while his friends are occupied with other matters and serves as Right's foil due to the former's natural fighting instincts, analytical nature, and differing imagination and opinions. Unsociable and unwilling to talk much, Hikari keeps everyone grounded when Right pulls them away and shows loyalty to Mio and a tendency to tease Kagura. Additionally, despite Tokatti's belief that Hikari is the smartest member of the team, the latter does not display this side often. Later in the series, it is revealed that Hikari lives with his grandmother Emiko (恵美子) since his mother Ayaka (彩香) is busy.

Kagura
editKagura Izumi (泉 神楽, Izumi Kagura) is a young girl who lives with her parents Yosuke (洋介, Yōsuke) and Keiko (恵子) and baby brother Daiki (大喜) and possesses the second-most powerful imagination, which often causes unforeseen events to occur and allows her to grant herself superhuman traits with enough focus, but is hampered by her simplicity, severe self-doubt, lack of fighting capability, and over-excitement, the last of which causes her to trade self-restraint for overwhelming yet uncontrollable power.
As ToQ 5gou (トッキュウ5号, Tokkyū Gogō), normally colored pink, Kagura wields the Bridge Claw (テッキョウクロー, Tekkyō Kurō).[11] With the Hyper Ressha, she can transform into Hyper ToQ 5gou (ハイパートッキュウ5号, Haipā Tokkyū Gogō).
Kagura is portrayed by Ai Moritaka (森高 愛, Moritaka Ai).[12] As a child, she is portrayed by Rara Shimizu (清水 らら, Shimizu Rara).
Akira Nijino
editAkira Nijino (虹野 明, Nijino Akira) is a Rainbow Line railway worker who was originally Shadow Line member and General Schwarz's comrade, Zaram (ザラム, Zaramu).[g] Possessing the power to cause rain, Zaram believed he was capable of great evil until he saw a rainbow, which inspired him to defect to the Rainbow Line and atone for his perceived sins by finding a place worth dying for his newfound cause. Despite renouncing his origins, his power remained.
When the ToQgers learn the Conductor acquired equipment for a sixth ToQger and following an encounter with him, Right chooses Zaram to join them despite learning of his past. Zaram is initially reluctant before eventually being convinced to do so as part of his quest for redemption. Despite this and receiving a human name, Akira does not truly see himself as a ToQger, which leads to him secretly joining forces with a rogue Schwarz to stop Emperor Z and temporarily fighting against the ToQgers. Following Schwarz's death, Akira returns to them after learning that they cherish their friendship with him. As of the V-Cinema They Went and Came Back Again Ressha Sentai ToQger: Super ToQ 7gou of Dreams, Akira discovers his time with the Rainbow Line is gradually making him human.
Unlike the primary ToQgers, Akira utilizes the Applichanger (アプリチェンジャー, Apurichenjā) smartphone to transform into the orange-colored ToQ 6gou (トッキュウ6号, Tokkyū Rokugō). While transformed, he wields the Guidance Breaker (ユウドウブレイカー, Yūdō Bureikā) baton, which he can use in conjunction with the Drill Ressha to perform an unnamed finisher. He is also unable to perform Transfer Changes due to his increased power compared to his teammates.[13] With the Hyper Ressha, he can transform into Hyper ToQ 6gou (ハイパートッキュウ6号, Haipā Tokkyū Rokugō).
During the events of the DVD special Ressha Sentai ToQger DVD Special: Farewell, Ticket! The Wasteland Super ToQ Battle!!, Akira acquires the Build Ressha Super ToQ Version (ビルドレッシャー超トッキュウver., Birudo Resshā Chō Tokkyuu Bājon), which allows him to transform into the brightly-colored Super ToQ 6gou (超トッキュウ6号, Chō Tokkyū Rokugō).

Additionally, the former temporarily transfers himself to Akira's hand so he can use the Applichanger to become Ticket 6gou (チケット6号, Chiketto Rokugō) and settle a rivalry with his nemesis, Kaniros, who killed Ticket's girlfriend Jennifer in the past.

The President is voiced by Kōsuke Toriumi (鳥海 浩輔, Toriumi Kōsuke).
Shadow Line
editThe Shadow Line (シャドーライン, Shadōrain) are steampunk-themed denizens of the dark who wish to consume the world in darkness and are based in the Castle Terminal (キャッスルターミナル, Kyassuru Tāminaru), the source of their railway. To achieve their goal, the group's acting leaders send Shadow Ressha called Cryners (クライナー, Kurainā)[i] and/or Shadow Creeps to establish Dark Stations (闇駅, Yami Eki) to gradually convert the surrounding cities into Shadow Towns (シャドータウン, Shadō Taun) and absorb them into the Shadow Line's world, erasing all memory of the original town in the process. The acting leaders initially gather darkness to give their leader, Emperor Z, entry into the world, before shifting their focus towards spreading darkness around the world to make it a utopia for them. They are also generally active during most of the year, but are forced to cease activities during the holiday season, which they refer to as the Darkness Decline (ヤミベリ, Yamiberi) as the amount of imagination across the world weakens them for the duration. During the Shadow Line's final battle with the ToQgers, Emperor Z infuses his darkness into Castle Terminal to transform it into a giant robotic monster called the Dark Behemoth (闇の巨獣, Yami no Kyojū), which exists to spread its creator's vast darkness, but it is destroyed by all of the ToQgers' Ressha.[40]
All Cryers are capable of changing into a humanoid Cryner Robo (クライナーロボ, Kurainā Robo) form, which is armed with twin forearm-mounted cannons, with the Shadow Line's leaders each possessing a unique model.

Baron Nero
editBaron Nero (ネロ男爵, Nero-danshaku)[j] is the acting leader of the Shadow Line in Emperor Z's absence whose Shadow Creeps serve him by targeting multiple stations at once to gather enough darkness to bring Z into the human world, with some directly participating in Nero's various schemes. Despite learning of Z's obsession with light, Nero remains loyal to his leader, believing the obsession to be a phase before resolving to help him consume the world's light amidst verbal abuse from Marchioness Mork. During the Darkness Decline, Nero pilots a Cho-Cryner Robo to protect Castle Terminal from the ToQgers before his mecha is destroyed by Build DaiOh. After being mortally wounded by ToQ 6gou in a duel, Nero sacrifices himself to heal Z's injuries.[41][42]
In battle, Nero is a skilled melee fighter who wields the Gun Stick (銃器系ステッキ, Jūki-kei Sutekki) cane gun and the Boomerang Top Hat (ブーメラン系トップハット, Būmeran-kei Toppu Hatto), which he can use like a chakram or to fire a dark energy beam.[41]

Madame Noir
editMadame Noir (ノア夫人, Noa-fujin)[k] is the secondary leader of the Shadow Line whose Shadow Creeps focus on gathering high-quality darkness to refine her daughter, Miss Glitta's, beauty and prepare her for her upcoming wedding to Emperor Z to secretly gain the throne through her. After Z absorbs Glitta and thwarts her attempt on his life however, Noir is forced to submit to him. When Marchioness Mork moves into Castle Terminal, Noir tries to prove herself by using her Control Black Feathers (操り系黒羽根, Ayatsuri-kei Kurobane) to turn citizens into berserkers. While the plan fails, she learns Glitta is still alive inside Z and bides her time by using less capable Shadow Creeps to gather minimal amounts of darkness until she can free her. After freeing Boseki Shadow during the Darkness Decline, Noir is shocked to learn Glitta does not want to leave Z, who blasts Noir out of Castle Terminal. Grievously injured, she joins forces with General Schwarz and ToQ 6gou to free Glitta before Noir is killed by Z.[43][44]
In battle, Noir wields the Gun Parasol (銃器系パラソル, Jūki-kei Parasoru), which functions as a beam/machine gun, sabre, and shield.[43]

editGeneral Schwarz (シュバルツ将軍, Shubarutsu-shōgun)[l] is the Shadow Line's military leader who is obsessed with building the Shadow Ressha forces to deal with the ToQgers once he obtains enough intelligence on them and a former friend of Akira Nijino's. Additionally, Schwarz is aware of Miss Glitta's feelings for him, promising to tell her at a later time. Before he can do so, Emperor Z absorbs her during their wedding and knocks Schwarz into a nearby river, where the latter is presumed dead and secretly vows revenge. In pursuit of his goal, Schwarz tricks the ToQgers into forming an alliance with him so he can steal the Drill Ressha, only to learn Glitta is still alive within Z's body. After being confronted by Nijino, Schwarz agrees to return the Drill Ressha in exchange for the former's services during the Darkness Decline. Despite rescuing Glitta, Schwarz learns too late that he endangered her further and sends her away in his personal Cryner while he attempts to fight Z-Shin, only to suffer fatal injuries. Before he dies, Schwarz taunts the emperor with the fact that the former had found his own light before he did.[45][46]

Upon meeting Z, she finds him frightening and forms a secret alliance with Schwarz in a failed attempt to evade the wedding. As the event gets underway, she absorbs him for his powers as part of her mother's scheme to take the throne from him and becomes the Empress of Darkness (闇の女帝, Yami no Jotei). Becoming more mature as a result of Z influencing her actions, Glitta helps Schwarz attack the ToQgers, leading to her taking a fatal blow meant for him. As he attends to her well-being, she expresses her feelings for him, only to be absorbed from the inside by Z for her inner light. Though presumed dead, Glitta is later revealed to still be alive, functioning as a hindrance to his full potential. Amidst the Darkness Decline, she gradually begins to take over his body before eventually being freed by Noir and Schwarz, only to watch them die in front of her after he sends her away in his personal Cryner for her own safety. Intent on saving Z from himself and averting further deaths, she seeks out the ToQgers' help in covering her while she takes over Castle Terminal's controls and move it towards the dark depths.

Emperor Z
editEmperor of Darkness Z (闇の皇帝ゼット, Yami no Kōtei Zetto)[49][n] is the human-like ruler of the Shadow Line who embodies the purest form of darkness and was responsible for dragging Subarugahama into the developing Shadow Line. Ironically, he develops an unhealthy obsession with light due to coming into contact with Right after being attracted to Subarugahama's festival lights, which reflects in his Shadow Creeps' unique ability to produce light or possession of a glittering quality. Due to initially lacking a full physical presence in the human world, he tasks his followers with gathering darkness from human hearts to expand the Shadow Line under the belief that those he deems loyal and valuable will be spared. Upon his arrival from the World of Darkness, he recognizes the ToQgers as the children who escaped Subarugahama, develops an interest in Right, and reveals himself to him, though Z is unable to remain in the light for extended periods of time.
After allowing Miss Glitta to absorb him before eventually absorbing her in turn to obtain her "light" and remove his weakness, he intends to take the ToQgers' light next. However, he discovers that he could not fully absorb Glitta due to her keeping his full power in check, resulting in him assuming a flawed version of his monstrous true form and becoming a moody loose cannon. Amidst the Darkness Decline and while fighting General Schwarz and ToQ 6gou, Z briefly loses control over Glitta, who tries to warn the ToQgers not to free her. However, Schwarz and Noir do so, unknowingly allowing Z to achieve his full potential and his true form, Z-Shin (ゼット・真, Zetto Shin) before killing Noir and Schwarz. Accepting he can never have the light as his own, Z learns part of his being entered Right's body. This combined with learning Glitta was taking pity on him convinces Z to mount an assault on the world and drown it in darkness, destroying any remaining light, while sparing Right long enough to see the Dark Behemoth consume everything in its path. After the Dark Behemoth is destroyed and he is mortally wounded by the ToQgers, Z absorbs his remaining followers to heal his injures and increase his power before he is defeated by Right as Rainbow ToQ 1gou. Seeing a rainbow before he explodes in a storm of darkness, Glitta retrieves Z's essence and takes him back to the Shadow Line to re-constitute himself in peace.[51][52]

Marchioness Mork
editMarchioness Mork (モルク侯爵, Moruku-kōshaku)[o] is the oldest member of the Shadow Line who personally raised Emperor Z, resulting in her behaving informally around him despite their status, and was originally in charge of overseeing Shadow Towns via her Keepers before moving into Castle Terminal due to Z's obsession with light and to quell sedition among their ranks. Mork continues to loyally serve Z before eventually allowing him to absorb her to heal his injuries.[54][55]
