Dai Javelin is composed of Warrior RyuseiOh staff with Star-Houou tail added as a peak, while Great King Sword just appears when Dairen'Oh combines. Dairen'Oh can also use the various Qi-Power attacks of the five core rangers. The Great Discharge (大放電 Daihōden) has Dairen'Oh shoots a stream of electricity from the Great King Sword.
With the Great King Sword, Dairen'Oh is able to perform the Raging Hurricane Waves (疾風怒壽 Shippuu Dottou), a powerful Qi-powered slash with the sword that projects an image of a big wave behind it. With the Dai Javelin, Dairen'Oh can perform the Great Whirlwind (大旋風 Dai Senpū), where Dairen'Oh creates a hurricane that blows debris towards the enemy.

History[]
Dairanger[]
6000 years ago during the war against the Gorma, the five Mythical Qi Beasts fought alongside the Dairangers of the past, granting them mystical abilities. It is until Zhang Liao, the previous Ryuuranger, betrayed his team that the Mythical Qi Beasts became dormant. Over time, Star-Tenma, Star-Jishi, Star-Kirin and Star-Houou were thought to be destroyed, leaving RyuseiOh the only one active.
Super Sentai World[]
Summoned by RyuRanger, Dairen'Oh returned to fight alongside fellow robos Fiverobo, Jet Icarus, Daizyujin, and Muteki Shogun, to defeat the giant Emperor Daidas. TV STORY-Super Sentai World

Gokaiger[]
When GokaiOh and Gosei Great faced the Black Cross Colossus, the mecha of the first 33 Super Sentai, including Dairen'Oh which possibly manifested from a toy version like DaiDenzin and the Variblune, appeared to back them up. When the Black Cross Colossus summoned several giant villains to oppose them, Dairen'Oh fought alongside Engine-O and RV Robo to destroy Crime Minister Yogoshimacritein. After all the giant villains were destroyed, all 35 mecha weakened Black Cross Colossus with a combined attack before GokaiOh combined with the Variblune to become Goren GokaiOh which destroyed the Black Cross Colossus with the Gokai Hurricane: Cassiopeia finisher. With the battle won, the 33 past Super Sentai mecha vanished. TV STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

Mythical Qi Beast RyuseiOh[]
- "Mythical Summoning! RyuseiOh!"
- ―summoning RyuseiOh
Mythical Qi Beast RyuseiOh (気伝獣龍星王 Kidenjū Ryūseiō, Dragon Star King) is the Mythical Qi Beast of RyuRanger. During the original war against the Gorma, RyuseiOh and the other Mythical Qi Beasts were summoned and empowered by the five Heavenly Treasure Lai-Lai Jewels. As the jewels were lost following the end of the war, Kaku had to use his own chi energy to summon RyuseiOh when the Gorma resurfaced in the late 20th century. As the Gorma stepped up their offensive, this ultimately proved insufficient, requiring RyuseiOh to summon Rin to China to find the Lai-Lai Jewels in order to awaken the other four Mythical Qi Beasts, allowing the Dairangers to form DairenOh with RyuseiOh and later Kiba DaiOh with Won Tiger.
First introduced in episode 1 to prevent Ryo from being captured by Baron String, RyuseiOh can breath streams of fire from his mouth called Big Blaze (大火炎 Dai Kaen). It forms the core of Dairen'Oh with the other Mythical Qi Beasts attaching to it as armor. Helped out in Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Dairen'Oh's suit actor was Jiro Okamoto.
Design[]
Dairen'Oh was designed by PLEX. Its design is based on ancient Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and Mongolian soldier armor, mostly mountain-pattern armour (Chinese: 山文铠; pinyin: shānwénkǎi). Like the armor, the silhouette of the Dairen'Oh is shaped like the Chinese character for the word "mountain" (山; pinyin: shān; romaji: yama; Vietnamese: sơn; Korean: 산, san). Dairen'Oh in itself is simply armor for Ryuuseioh, wherein the Shishi's tail becomes its helmet, and other pieces become its pauldrons and breastplate, while the Hou'oh becomes its skirt and the Tenma and Kirin form shin guards and boots. The Heavenly Qi Palace are designed like stalwart, immovable palace statues and is also based on Sun Wukong's Somersault Cloud (Chinese: 筋斗云, pinyin: jīndǒuyún), keeping with the Sun Wukong motif present in Ryuuseioh.
When the actual suit of Dairen-Oh was brought over to America for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 2 & 3, it was destroyed during the events of the first part of the "Ninja Quest" episode and was never remade for reasons unknown.

Notes[]
- While the Dairangers were not the first Sentai team to draw power from legendary creatures, Dairen'Oh and the Mythical Qi Beasts were the first mecha components to have designs based on mythical rather than living or prehistoric animals. The first mythical beast-themed mecha was Jetman's Jet Garuda, whose transformed mode was based on the Garuda of Indian mythology.
