This article is about a ranger in Avataro Sentai Donbrothers. |
- "The strongest one there is. Don Torabolt. (俺が最強。ドントラボルト。 Ore ga saikyō. Don Toraboruto.)"
- ―Roll Call
Dangerous Jiro (危ないジロウ Abunai Jirō), also known as Dark Jiro (闇ジロウ Yami Jirō),[1] was the original personality of Jiro Momotani, who would later go on to assume the form of Don Torabolt (ドントラボルト Don Toraboruto), the Silver Ranger[2][3] of the Donbrothers.
History[]
Dangerous Jiro was the original personality of Jiro Momotani. When he was young, a group of kids invited him to a play a game of Kagome Kagome with them and he had won in that game. His victory in said game along with the praise that he had received from the kids themselves would cause him to become repressed as a friendlier Jiro Momotani was created and had replaced him as the dominant personality. TV STORY-Don 29: Mourning and Murasame
Personality[]
Unlike his dominant regular self, he is much more cruel and hostile, attacking anyone who has ever treated him with disdain. In particular, Dangerous Jiro has developed a vendetta towards Taro Momoi due to the latter being so much better than him in everything, and makes it his goal to take down Taro and replace him as the one and only hero and leader of the Donbrothers.
Dangerous Jiro dislikes his other self for the latter's huge idolization of Taro, claiming that this is the reason why Jiro will never truly surpass Taro. However, he does not go so far as to antagonize prime Jiro, who was quick to accept him and was also able to easily tame his feral demeanor in battle.
Despite his hostility, Dangerous Jiro has an oddly-empathic side, able to sense the "sorrow" coming out of Don Murasame. He is also capable of civilized conversation, talking with Don Murasame with the same amount of sympathy and spirit normally found in his other self.
While much more aggressive than his regular self, Dangerous Jiro does comport himself with a level of honor, saving Taro's life by taking him under Kaito's care so as to have the opportunity to take leadership under respectable terms.

Using the Avataro Gears of Legend Sentai, Don Torabolt has access to the powers of any Sentai Sixth Ranger of his choosing, donning them in a manner like a game character donning a skin. Unlike his core teammates, each form retains its belt buckle, with Don Torabolt instead continually donning the Tiguardora during each transformation.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Dangerous Jiro is portrayed by Raizou Ishikawa (石川 雷蔵 Ishikawa Raizō), who also portrayed his original self. As Don Torabolt, his suit actor is Shigeki Ito (伊藤 茂騎 Itō Shigeki) in his third Sixth Ranger role in Super Sentai. Ito also serves as Ishikawa's body double whenever both Jiros are separated and seen in the same shot, the latter still performing the voices for both. Furthermore, when assuming the forms of the other Donbrothers, Jiro's suit portrayal depends on the character's respective Ranger suit actor.
- As Inu Brother, his suit/motion capture actor is Kazuya Okada (岡田 和也 Okada Kazuya), who also performs in-suit as Don Doragoku when both Jiros are transformed in the same shot.
- As Saru Brother, his suit actor is Yasuhiro Takeuchi (竹内 康博 Takeuchi Yasuhiro).
Design[]
- Don Torabolt's helmet is designed off of a White Tiger.
Etymology[]
- Torabolt is a portmanteau of Tora (トラ Tora, lit. Tiger) and Thunderbolt.
Notes[]
- Jiro's "hero clothes" were designed by Naoto Hiroōka.[4]
- As Don Torabolt, he shares the same name as the character from Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack.
- Jiro's forms being based on a dragon and a tiger corresponds to the motifs of the first two Sixth Rangers, DragonRanger and KibaRanger, with the torso armor being a nod to both.
- Don Torabolt is so far the only Sixth Ranger who has not gotten his own Ranger Key.
- Don Torabolt is so far the only Donbrother whose mecha color does not match his ranger color, as Don Robobolt is colored purple, which is the color of another ranger in the series.
- Don Torabolt's tiger motif, in addition to Don Doragoku's dragon, is a reference to the ancient concept of yin and yang which represents the tiger as yin (darkness) and the dragon as yang (light), fitting with how Dangerous Jiro is also named as Dark Jiro.[5]
