Tecchu (テッチュウ Techyū) is one of the Vice Shoguns of Space Shogunate Jark Matter.

He was then seen in the Jark Matter Broadcasting Station to fend off the Kyurangers, injuring Washi Pink in the process before Houou Soldier fends him off and escape before the current Daikaan Mediatsuyoindaver tried to interview him. He later shows up with his pet, a Metal Deathworm, before it was ultimately destroyed by the three Kyutama Gattai of KyurenOh, Gigant Houou, and RyuteiOh alongside Mediatsuyoindaver and a Morimars Robo.

He later appears again to fight the Kyuurangers team of Shishi Red, Sasori Orange, Ookami Blue, Tenbin Gold, Oushi Black, Hebitsukai Silver, Chameleon Green, and Koguma Skyblue alongside his subordinate and executioner, Gyapler, who easily defeated them before digesting them all but Lucky into his body. Houou Soldier arrived, but he was too late to stop Gyabler, and when Lucky was almost eaten by Gyabler, he Tsurugi steps out to shield him just as Don Armage comes and confront both Lucky and Tsurugi. He later appeared again alongside Gyabler to fight the duo of Shishi Red, Houou Soldier, and Ryu Commander before Gyabler was finished off by the trio and enlarged. Tecchu later enlarged himself and takes on the new formation, the Kyutama Dai Gattai Kyutamajin alongside Gyabler only used the former as his meat shield.

Death[]
Facing both Kajiki Yellow and Washi Pink in the planet Toki before the other ten Kyurangers arrived, he decided to eliminate both Rangers, as he had deemed both as dangerous as Tsurugi. Later, having somehow acquired a piece of Jark Matter assassin Madakko, he revived her to have the Kyurangers distracted. In the final battle, he faced all twelve Kyurangers, eventually being defeated normal-sized before he enlarged himself only to defeated by Kyutama Dai Gattai Kyutamajin.

Past[]
Later, his past self from 333 years ago is shown to be different in appearance, as he lacked his cape, and is revealed to be very muscular and being the strongman of the Vice-Shoguns, he also lacked his Tekkyu flail. He later faced Ryutei-Oh 10*08*09 and was defeated. TV STORY-Space.29: Orion, The Strongest Warrior
Recreation[]
Tecchu was evidently rebuilt by Jark Matter's scientist, as his body stood alongside Akyanba in his laboratory as Kukuruga was revived. TV STORY-Space.36: The Legend That Sleeps in Lucky's Homeworld
Akyachuuga[]
Akyachuuga.
Tecchu was ultimately recreated by Doctor Anton as Akyachuuga (アキャチューガ Akyachūga), a fusion of himself and fellow Vice Shoguns Akyanba and Kukuruga. They were sent to the Minami Juuji System to defend planet Southern Cross's core against the Kyurangers but were finally destroyed by KyurenOh (01-02-03-05-11), RyuTeiOh (07-09-10), and Gigant Houou using Battle Orion Ship as a cannon. TV STORY-Space.42: My Father? The Universe? Lucky's Resolution
Personality[]
Tecchu is shown to be loyal to Don Armage, immediately agreeing to help him eliminate Tsurugi Otori. However, he is shown to be cowardly as seen when he sacrificed his own subordinate Gyapler to the Kyutamajin's attack. He has the personality of a destructive monk, always yelling "UNACCEPTABLE!" (褐!) in some occasions.
Powers and Abilities[]
Despite being one of the Vice-Shogun, Tecchu is one of the weaker generals. When compared to other villains such as Eriedrone, Scorpio, Ikargen, Kukuruga, and Thunderbird, Tecchu doesn't stand a chance. Nevertheless, he possesses many powers and abilities such as:
Powers[]
- Size Alteration: He can enlarge and shrink himself at will using the Enlarge Inro on his right shoulder pad.
- Energy Ball: He can fire giant energy balls from his right hand
- Bullet Projection: He can shoot bullets from his left hand.
- Fireballs: Tecchu can also shoot fireballs from his left hand.
- Superhuman Strength: He has superhuman strength back in 333 years ago.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Tecchu is voiced by Hiroshi Tsuchida (土田 大 Tsuchida Hiroshi), who previously played as Saizou from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, as well as voicing Reversian Bon-Goblin Hells in Tokuso Sentai Dekaranger, Hades Beastman Kirikage the Ninja from Mahou Sentai Magiranger, Makirika from Juken Sentai Gekiranger, and Debo Karyudosu from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. His suit actor is Shigeki Ito (伊藤 茂騎 Itō Shigeki), who becomes Sasori Orange's substitute in episode 3.
Design[]
- Tecchu is designed by K-SuKe, who based it on the Iron Pillar of Delhi. The golden dragon shoulder pad is themed after the Greek monster Cetus.
Concept Art[]
Etymology[]
- Tecchu's name is derived from the word "tetchu" (鉄柱 "steel pillar").
- His constellation name, alongside those of his fellow Vice-Shoguns are related to the Greek figure Andromeda. This adds a layer of irony as the Vice-Shoguns' shoulder pad is themed after Cetus, a sea monster that attempted to kill Andromeda herself.
