This article is about a Ranger in Dengeki Sentai Changeman. |
- "ChangeGriffon!"
- ―ChangeGriffon's roll call[src]
Sho Hayate (疾風 翔 Hayate Shō) is ChangeGriffon (チェンジグリフォン Chenji Gurifon) of the Changemen and second-in-command to ChangeDragon.
History[]
Changeman[]
Formerly a Ranger of the Earth Defense Force branch. A dandy and narcissistic womanizer, Sho actually has a soft side that he keeps mostly hidden behind his cool exterior. Originally joined the army just to get attention from women, but is actually a strong and dependable soldier. His trademark is to fix his hair in the midst of battle. Sho is frequently set traps by various Gozma opponents posing as women in peril. He fell head over heels for Sakura, the angelic girl from Meruru Star.
As ChangeGriffon, he, too, is armed with the Change Sword and Griffon-Zooka, which is what becomes the shaft for the missile to be fired from Power Bazooka. His unique fighting ability is his agility which he acquired while working the field as a Ranger. He co-pilots HeliChanger-2 with ChangeMermaid.
Flashman[]
Celebrating the end of Dengeki Sentai Changeman and the defeat of Gozma, the 1986 March issue of TV-Kun showcased the new Super Sentai Series, Choshinsei Flashman, announcing that it'll replace Changeman starting from April issue.
Turboranger[]
Sho and his team joined up with the other nine Sentai to stand behind the newest Sentai, the Turborangers, as they faced off against the Hundred Boma Tribes. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Great Gathering of 10 Sentai: Counting on You! Turboranger
Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai[]
ChangeGriffon is among the Sentai warriors seen in clips when Daimon Tatsumi (GoYellow) lectured Kai Samezu (GaoBlue) about the past Sentai technical warriors and their fighting spirit. MOVIE STORY-Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai
Gokaiger[]
Legend War[]
Years later, Sho fought alongside not only his own team, but every single Sentai Ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Sugormin commanders, Akarenger noticed the fleet moving towards them. He gathered all the Rangers together, subsequently giving them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada. The ChangeGriffon powers are later used by Don Dogoier via the Ranger Keys. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Space Pirates Appear MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
Greater Power[]
- "Essentially, you people have lit a fire in our hearts."
- ―Sho Hayate[src]
His team's Greater Power was initially taken by Basco ta Jolokia. While a member of the Earth Defense Force was attacked for it, it is unknown if he was the Changeman Basco took it from. TV STORY-Ep. 31: Crash!! Secret Operations After Basco's defeat by Captain Marvelous, he along with representatives of the four other teams (Sun Vulcan, Flashman, Maskman and Fiveman) whose Greater Powers were taken by Basco, contacted the Gokaigers and granted them their Greater Powers and approval. He said that they have lit a fire in their hearts. TV STORY-Ep. 49: The Greatest Treasure in the Universe
Farewell Space Pirates[]
After the defeat of Ackdos Gill, Marvelous returned all the Ranger Keys to the former Sentai heroes. Sho and his teammates have their powers again and will continue their roles as Changeman. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Super Hero Taisen[]
Sho, alongside his team, among the majority of the Super Sentai heroes, was caught up in the "Super Hero Taisen" incident which eventually resulted in the Super Sentai teams and Kamen Riders joining forces to defeat both Dai-Zangyack and Dai-Shocker. MOVIE STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen
Zyuohger vs. Ninninger[]
ChangeGriffon appeared with his team among the first 38 Super Sentai whom collectively empowered Wild Tousai Shuriken King in its fight against the titanic Gillmarda, granting the Ninningers and Zyuohgers the power to perform the Zyuoh Ninnin Super Sentai Burst which destroyed Gillmarda with the combined power of all 40 Super Sentai.

Legend Sentai Devices[]
- "Changeman!"
- ―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement[src]
The ChangeGriffon Ranger Key (チェンジグリフォンレンジャーキー Chenji Gurifon Renjā Kī) is Sho Hayate's personal Ranger Key and what became of his powers after he along with the rest of the 34 Super Sentai sacrificed their powers to end the Great Legend War.
This key along with the majority of the Ranger Keys were collected by the Red Pirates and later used by the Gokaigers. The ChangeGriffon Ranger Key was mainly used by Don Dogoier (Gokai Green), who used it to fight as ChangeGriffon.
- When the Gokaigers became the Changemen while fighting against the Ugatz in Gunman World. They used their respective mythical beast attacks to finish them off. TV STORY-Ep. 35: Dimension on the Other Side
- As part of a Gokai Change combo of the last five teams whose Greater Powers the Gokaigers acquired, while fighting Insarn. TV STORY-Ep. 49: The Greatest Treasure in the Universe
- As part of a bombardment of changes in the final battle with Emperor Ackdos Gill. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
The Changeman Keys, along with all the Ranger Keys of the first 33 Super Sentai, were briefly taken by the Black Cross King and turned into Ranger puppets that were fought by the Gokaigers and the Goseigers. The puppet Changemen fired their Power Bazooka alongside the Flashmen, Maskmen, Livemen, and Turborangers, only to be swiftly defeated by the individual finisher attacks of the Gokaigers and Goseigers as they emerged from the resulting fireball. MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. Sho received his key and became ChangeGriffon once more. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Usage[]
The Changeman Avataro Gear allows any of the Core Donbrothers to transform into their respective Changemen counterpart. It can be used by Tsubasa Inuzuka to transform into ChangeGriffon.
Notes[]
- Sho is the first and only griffon-themed Ranger in Super Sentai.
- Although being based on a Griffon, the image of a creature that appeared during the transformation and roll call and the one in his helmet are more similar to a winged lion.
- Jake uses his Griffon Mode against a Royal Guard during the final battle against Levira in Power Rangers Super Megaforce. TV STORY-The Wrath
