Raiken (雷剱) is a blue lion-like Yoma servant of Maki and one of four secondary antagonists of the live-action movie Engine Sentai Go-Onger: Boom Boom! Bang Bang! GekijōBang!!. He was also the partner of Gokumaru and one of the enemies of Go-Ongers and one of the archenemies of Samurai Warriors Trio.
History[]
Early life[]
Raiken was created by Empress Maki from the Cast of Shishi no Shin and was capable of taking the form of a vehicle and using the kusarigama as a weapon. Along with their partner Gokumaru, the two monsters terrorized the world of Samurai and served Maki, helping the tyrantess suppress any kind of resistance against Maki's tyranny.
Engine Sentai Go-Onger[]
Raiken and Gokumaru first appeared in the film when they presented the stolen casting they stole from the Go-Ongers to the Empress. The monsters also inform Maki that Go-Ongers's comrades are also here in the samurai world, along with the wandering machines, so the tyrant sent Go-On Wings to deal with them personally.
A little later, when the Go-Ongers reunited with Hiroto and Miu, when it turned out that the Go-On Wings were simply pretending to serve the tyrantess, Maki sent Raiken and Gokumaru to finish off both teams of Rangers. The tyrantess's minions fought the Go-Onjers, but both were destroyed. Raiken was destroyed by Renn, Gunpei and Miu.

Personality[]
Gokumaru is ruthless, xenophobic and cruel by his nature, which is overall that can be said about him. He despises the human race with all of his heart, just like his comrades and behaves like a typical feudal warlord and conqueror and possesses a thrill-seeking nature, because he took great pleasure from enslaving the innocent medieval people and conquering more territories. However, he is completely and undeniably loyal and faithful towards Maki and will never betray the empress. He was also shown to be slightly confident, because he didn't expect the deception of Hiroto and Miu and was tricked by them into thinking that they were on their and Maki's side.
