Combined Four Deva Kings

"East Heaven! South Heaven! West Heaven! North Heaven! Gorma Four Deva Kings!"

―The Gorma Four Deva Priest's first words when introducing themselves to the four Dairangers (minus Hyde) in their exclusionary dimension.

"Shen Gatai!"

―The Deva Kings' command (meaning "Four Deva Fusion") whenever they fuse into their combined battle form.

"HA HA HA HA HA!"

―Combined Four Deva King upon enlarging himself.

"The Four Deva Kings have been defeated!"

―Combined Four Deva Kings' final words before their supposed collective demise.

"Come!"

―Combined Four Deva Kings advancing on the Super Chi-Power Bazooka wielding Dairangers and the quartet's final words before their combined deaths.

The Gorma Four Deva Kings (ゴーマ四天王, Gōma Shitennō, 20, 28-31): They are the most favored of the Gorma Emperor's minions; Touhouten (東方天, Tōhōten, East Heaven), Hoppouten (北方天, Hoppōten, North Heaven), Saihouten (西方天, Saihōten, West Heaven), and Nanpouten (南方天, Nanpōten, South Heaven); wearing the attire of Buddhist Priests and being masters of displacement. Once he arrived on Earth after the failure of Archbishop Saw, the Gorma Emperor assigned them to work under Shadam's command to kill the Dairangers. Their teamwork skills were their greatest power, as they could merge into one deadly four-headed entity called Combined Four Deva Kings (合体四天王, Gattai Shitennō).  They attempted to use their illusions to trap the Dairangers with key figures (Kujaku, Demon-Fist Master Jin Matoba, The Three Gorma Stooges, and Akomaru) individually. They survived the attack of Kibadaioh twice, even knocking it back to knock it and RyuseiOh down on one occasion, but were overpowered by Daimugen and were killed by the Heavy Armor Chi Palace and it's Great Death Crush. This time, there was no coming back and the threat posed by this elite group was ended for good.

Behind the Scenes

• Despite debuting in the 20th episode, they have no lines and are only in the background for Shadam's conversation with the Gorma Emperor.
• The costume of their fused form was recycled in Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, where a Yokai looking like it can be seen at various times, in the background. Said Yokai is never named on-screen.
• The costumes of their separate forms were reused from episode 38 of Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger.
• They are similar to the Crime Big Four from J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai vs. Gorenger, who were also a group of four villains who combined into one monster, Big Four Robo.
