As Tenbin Gold

It was on Zigama that the pair discovered the Kyurangers on a wanted poster, TV STORY-Space.1: The Super Stars of Space finding them to have a bounty ten times more than theirs. Having heard about a local Jark Matter facility storing a precious gem, the pair met Lucky, who believed them to be bearers of Kyutamas themselves, on the way to their mark. While they tell Lucky they aren't, Lucky still decides to wait out his luck and work with them on their job. However, instead of being stealthy, they are discovered because of Lucky looking for a fight. Balance betrays Lucky by lashing him with his cables, to Naga Ray's surprise, in full view of Jark Matter. However, Balance is shocked when Naga is angered and chooses to stay with Lucky. Balance asks to see the gem as reward and is allowed. He, however steals the gem. Seeing that Naga and Lucky are to be executed immediately, he intervenes by controlling the death trap. Balance and Naga Ray earn their Kyutamas and fight with the Kyurangers, joining them on the Orion after taking down Zigama's Daikaan Gamettsui. TV STORY-Space.2: Let's Go! Phantom Thief BN Team!

TV STORY-Tenbin Gold & Hebitsukai Silver Chapter

Engaged by a hostile new Kyuranger, Stinger, Balance and the others bar Lucky and Champ were struck by the Sasori System native's sting. However, the afflicted Kyurangers ultimately recovered in time to destroy the Moraimars that was draining Needle's Planetium. TV STORY-Space.3: The Man from the Desert Star

When the Orion arrived in orbit of Earth, a planet strangely containing numerous Moraimarz, Balance and Naga were left on the ship to work on equipment under Shou Ronpou as the others were assigned to land on Earth for the first time by the commander's Kyulette, establishing a link between the Kyu Buckles which would allow the Kyurangers to summon Kyutama at will. Balance later joined the crew in congratulating Raptor on her transformation into Washi Pink. TV STORY-Space.4: Dreamy Android

TV STORY-Space.5: 9 Ultimate Saviors

Chou Super Hero Taisen

When Shou Ronpo sent the Kyurangers to capture Poppy Pipopapo, Balance and Naga were sent in as back-up as a team of five fought the Kamen Rider doctor trio. Together, the BN Team intercepted Poppy as she was being taken to safety by Haima Kagami who was immobilized by Naga's glare.

Eventually, all nine Kyurangers joined the Chou Shocker Taisen with various Sentai Rangers and Kamen Riders fighting against the Shocker army of the Game World led by Shocker Leader III. Through use of the Futago Kyutama, the complete team fought using a duplicated KyurenOh utilizing all nine Voyagers against the Big Moraimars Robo piloted by the Oogumo Great Leader, whom they vanquished by fighting alongside the enlarged Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Maximum Gamer Level 99. MOVIE STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Chou Super Hero Taisen

Balance's Birthday

Balance is one of the victims whose birthday is taken by Daikaan Toome, despite the other Kyurangers has prepared for the birthday party. After Toome has been defeated, they have the party at ease, with Balance himself becoming very emotional. TV STORY-Space.7: Take Back the Birthday!

Orion

After the destruction of Daikaan Mothma's Moraimars, the crew discovered that they had lost control of the ship and that they had been sent on a direct course to the Sun, causing a sharp rise in temperature which the mechanical Balance tolerated better than his organic shipmates. The ship and crew were ultimately saved, however, as Mothma was destroyed by Shishi Red and Koguma Skyblue, causing his microbic extensions to dissipate and return control of the ship. TV STORY-Space.10: A Small Giant, Big Star!

Balance was among the crew left behind to perform repairs on the Orion following the ordeal with the Sun as a team was led by Shou to recover the Tomo Kyutama on Earth. TV STORY-Space.11: Three Kyutama to Save The Universe

Balance is one of the four-man team who has to infiltrate into Space Ryugu Castle to access Daikaan Yuterujan's remote control connected to a cell of hostages. When the team arrives, Balance has set his eyes of a treasure located at the entrance. In the process to make Yuterujan pleased, he also performs a magical show after Naga activates Hato Kyutama. Everything goes wrong when he cannot put a dove out of a hat, only to know that it has some fake doves. Balance offers one, but displeased Yuterujan throws it away. After everything is resolved, it is revealed that Balance has got the treasure called Tamatebako. When he opens it at the Orion, a bunch of smoke appears from the box and he gets 100 years older. Surprisingly, he shows happiness as he thinks he has encountered 100 consecutive birthdays. TV STORY-Space.14: Exciting! Space Dragon Palace Castle!

Balance remained on the Orion with Garu and the commander while a team was sent to acquire the Ho Kyutama on Vela; receiving an update from Stinger and Champ, they learn that Scorpio had been made Karo of the Sasori System and sent to Earth. TV STORY-Space.15: Savior of the Water Planet Vela

Balance has a quarrel with Garu before the two become selected among a five-man team in a mission to liberate a sector covered in dome. Knowing that the Daikaan, Shaidos has his eyes on the entire sector, Balance seemingly relinquish the mission, much to Garu's disagreement. But unknowingly to others, he has hijacked one of the CCTV cameras, revealing a clue of Shaidos' secret to the other Kyurangers. Later in the operation when the other Kyurangers lure Shaidos by taunting the Daikaan, Balance has a task to keep an eye of the situation until he fully finds the Daikaan's secret of hiding in any shadow. After Lucky obtains Hikari Kyutama to change into Taiyou Shishi Red, Balance is affected by the sunray and gets wild on his attacks to Shaidos. He then brings Taiyou Shishi Red into the air and throws him into the Moraimars, breaking it and the dome. After Balance with Commander Shou and Garu finish Shaidos using 03*04*10 RyuTeiOh, Balance and Garu are seen exchanging praises. TV STORY-Space.17: Lighting the Dome of Darkness!

Zyuohger vs. Ninninger

Through unknown circumstances, the nine Kyurangers made a brief appearance on an Earth where Jark Matter was not present. Instead, the Kyurangers arrived to intervene against the Deathgalien before they could interfere with the Zyuohgers' fight with the Ninningers for the future of Super Sentai against Gillmarda. With Tenbin Gold aiding in wiping out the Meba pack, the Kyurangers eventually forced the Deathgalien to retreat before taking their leave with their appearance observed by the Zyuohger ally Bud, who realized that the future was in safe hands. MOVIE STORY-Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger vs. Ninninger: Message from the Future from Super Sentai

Planet Toki

Seeking the Kyutama of the Tokei System, the Kyurangers came to the planet Toki and turned the 12 keys needed to unlock it within 30 minutes. Approaching key IV, Balance met an illusion of Naga and, after sharing a greeting with him, turned the key unimpeded. TV STORY-Space.25: Planet Toki, the Boy's Determination!

Personality

At first he seems to be greedy and only cares about treasure, but he is a good person at heart (although he has his treasure-raptured moments). He is flashy, energetic and fast-talking. His flamboyant attitude balances the more neutral demeanor of his partner Naga. In lieu of his title the Trick-Star, he is not shy of being cheeky to both ally and enemy alike.

He has a habit of saying "Goisu!" (Radical!) and "Agepoyo wei!" (I'm so pumped!) whenever he has an interesting idea or whe he is feeling very excited.

Despite his very outward personality, Balance is still quite emotional. When he becomes sad, he often tries to put on a positive demeanor to hide his sorrow. An example was when he had his birthday temporarily stolen and when Naga had been brainwashed to Jark Mater's side.

Behind the Scenes

Portrayal

Balance/Tenbin Gold
Yuki Ono

• Balance is voiced by Yuki Ono (小野 友樹, Ono Yūki), who previously voiced Parabolaloid 2 in Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters. Ono would voice Granute Le Beet in Kamen Rider Gavv.
• His suit actor is Masaru Obayashi (大林 勝, Ōbayashi Masaru), in his first Ranger role since Yellow Racer in Gekiso Sentai Carranger.
• In the Korean dub of Kyuranger entitled Power Rangers Galaxy Force, which aired in South Korea, Balance (밸런스, Baelleonseu^?) keeps his name, while his ranger designation is Libra Gold (리브라 골드, Libeura Goldeu^?). He is voiced by Seo Ban-seok (서반석, Seo Ban-seok^?), who would voice Kishiryu Tyramigo in Power Rangers Dino Soul.

Design

• Tenbin Gold's suit design possesses a more robotic look, his helmet possesses a vent on where the mouth is, and the visor is shaped like a scale to represent his constellation motif.

Etymology

Balance: In Japanese, the word balance is often rendered phonetically in katakana as バランス (Baransu), directly borrowed from English. While it does not have a native Japanese origin, the concept of balance aligns with traditional Japanese values like harmony and equilibrium, often expressed through words like 調和 (chōwa, meaning "harmony") or 均衡 (kinkō, meaning "equilibrium"). For a character whose constellation is Libra (天秤座, Tenbin-za), which represents balance and fairness through the symbol of scales, the word バランス (Baransu) fits well. The scales themselves are symbolized by 天秤 (Tenbin), which directly means "scales" and is associated with judgment and fairness. The idea of equilibrium can also be expressed with 均衡 (Kinkō), which signifies balance or symmetry.

The term バランス is frequently used in Japanese media, from sports to video games, to describe characters, strategies, or themes emphasizing harmony and proportionality. For example, a character might embody バランス by excelling in multiple skills or maintaining peace in conflicting situations. This gives the term an association with versatility, fairness, and steadiness in various narratives.

Notes

• Of the 88 modern constellations, Balance represents Libra.
• As his constellation theme is Libra, a pair of scales, he is the only Kyuranger who does not have an animal motif.
• His birthday is in March 26.
  • This would effectively make him an Aries, Libra's polar opposite on the Zodiac Wheel.
• At 300 years old, he is the oldest of the Kyurangers.
• Balance has the earliest appearance of all Gold Rangers, having debuted as a ranger in Space.2.
