Gedoushuu
外道衆
The Shinkenger's enemies. The Gedoushuu are monsters from the Sanzu River, the Japanese equivalent to the River Styx. Their base is the ship Rokumon which means "6th gate".
- Chimatsuri Doukoku 血祭ドウコク
- Voiced by Nishi Rintaro
- The Gedoushuu's ruthless leader. He's trapped in the Sanzu River and cannot appear in the human's world. Name means "Lamentations during a bloodbath".
- Usukawadayuu 薄皮太夫 / Tayuu / Usuyuki 薄雪
- Voiced by Park Romi
- A lady monster who plays the biwa to ease Doukoku's restlessness. When she is addressed in shortened form, the d in her name reverts to being a T since a Tayuu is Japanese for "courtesan". Usukawa means "thin skinned / fair skinned". Originally spelled Dayuu when by itself but this was corrected later on.
- Hone no Shitari 骨のシタリ
- Voiced by Cho
- A cthululike monster. In the show he acts like an old man. Hone means "bones" and shitari appears to be an exclamation that can mean "Good heavens! / Bless me!"
- Fuwa Juuzou 腑破 十臓 - Karahashi Mitsuru → Kaido from Faiz
- A Gedoushuu who was once human and can revert to his human form. A cursed swordsman who lives for the thrill of a good fight. Even among the Gedoushuu he is known as a stray or outcast. While the others more or less follow Doukoku, Juuzou's only obeys his whims. His demon blade is called Uramasa 裏正, which means "opposite of justice".
- Sujigara no Akumaro 筋殻アクマロ
- Voiced by Horikawa Ryo
- Name means "husk of muscle".
- Ayakashi アヤカシ
- The monsters of the week. They live in the Sanzu River and can appear in the human's world. However, after a certain amount of time they will dry up, and will need to remoisturize themselves with the river's waters. In Japanese mythology, an ayakashi 妖 is a ghost that appears at a shipwreck.
- Nanashi Renjyuu ナナシ連中
- The grunts in this series. Multiple numbers of them spawn from the river itself. Their names mean "the nameless ones". Originally spelled Nanashi Renchuu but this was corrected later on.
- Also comes in giant Oonnashi Renjyuu 大ナナシ連中 and flying Oonanashi Renyuu types.

Kanji Used by the Shinkengers
List of Kanji Used in Shinkenger
Spelling Changes in Our Subs
- Dayuu corrected to Tayuu
- Near the end of the series, we realized that they weren't softening the T sound in her name when it was being said by itself. Normally, kanji that follow a word have their first syllable softened so that it's easier to say. In this case, the Dayuu actually reverts to its hard T sound when by itself. Tayuu is also an actual word, which means "courtesan".
- Renchuu corrected to Renjyuu
- Normally the kanji combination 連中 is pronounced "renchuu" but in this case the actual pronunciation is "renjyuu". This can be a problem since not all Japanese text comes with a proper pronunciation guide for kanji when used in names.
