Tessai

"The Charging Brave, Kyoryu Gray!"

Tessai (鉄砕), is also known as Kyoryu Gray (キョウリュウグレー). He is the partner of Zyudenryu Bunpachy.

Character History
He is the Charging Hero (激突の勇者, Gekitotsu no Yūsha) that was active 1500 years ago in China. He was from a martial arts clan that mastered the Iron-Breaking Fist (鉄砕拳, Tessaiken), and has emerged into the present day as a Spirit to teach the Kyoryugers said technique and strengthen their bodies. His finishing move / favorite skill is the Furious Breakthrough (激烈突破, Gekiretsu Toppa).

He arrives to give an announcement to the Kyoryugers: his partner Bunpachy has awakened and has been waiting for so long to join them. But, he will only let them have Bunpachy on the condition that they become stronger through his trials. Out of all 5 Kyoryugers (Utchy doesn't join due to him already being acknowledged), Daigo is the fastest one to finish the trial and also had the hardest one. However, the result of the training was a huge disappointment for Tessai as only Daigo couldn't defeat the enemies.

Burning in anger, he throws Daigo and aggressively tells the others to not help him after receiving a Ki attack from him. He then tells Torin to remove Daigo from being Kyoryu Red and chooses Utchy as the new leader. He states the reason why Daigo can't win is because he is already strong and doesn't have a weakness, which is important to have so people can become stronger. When Daigo asks how he is supposed to find his weakness, Tessai just replies that he doesn't know and he doesn't care.
