- "I can't laugh!"
- ―Hit's final words before his death.[src]
Hit of the Tengu (天狗のヒッ斗（ト） Tengu no Hitto) is a member of the Earth Condemnation Group Yuumajuu.
Character History
Hit's main scheme involves the removal of laughter and comedy from the world, using a special gourd to capture anyone who laughs. During a comedy recital, he captures Moune among his victims, forcing the Goseiger to immediately go after him. As the Goseiger go down one by one, the serious Hyde ultimately discovers a weakness in order to stop the Yuumajuu: the gourd's ability sucks in anyone who laughs, including Hit himself! Initially training in comedy with Alata before he too becomes captured by Hit, Gosei Blue and Gosei Knight work together a routine which ultimately exposes the weakness of the gourd, opening it long enough for them to puncture it and save everyone trapped within. The Goseiger use the Miracle Headder powers combined with Gosei Knight's Knight Dynamic to destroy it.
After being grown with Bibi Bugs, Hyde uses Seaick Gosei Great to weaken Hit's power before it is fully destroyed by Gosei Ground's Knight Drastic.

Modus and Arsenal

- Gourd: To anyone who laughs near this hyotan gourd-like container are captured within an inescapable gourd which can only be destroyed from the outside. As Hyde figured out, not even Hit himself is exempt from this rule.
