Apparently Gai has the ability to redefine reality, as he can combine Sentai characters (Go-On Wings, a combination of Go-On Gold and Go-On Silver).

A robotic parrot who has the ability to give prophecies that act as hints for finding Grand Powers. When he does his prophecies, he says "Let's Treasure Navigate!" Since he uses "oira" to address himself, it's likely that Navi is male.

A reoccurring gag in the show is Marvelous addressing Navi as tori/bird.

Name is an altered form of Japanese "waru sugiru" meaning "much too evil".

Dogoumin 親衛隊ドゴーミン - The elite guards for the emperor. Red in color like the Emperor's elite guard from Star Wars. The "do" here creates emphasis, like when Marvelous says "dohade" instead of just "hade".
