 This article is about a Mecha in Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger.
|
Tenkujin (天空神 Tenkūjin) is Shurikenger's personal helicopter-based mecha in Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger.
Overview[]
Tenkujin's default form is a bird themed helicopter equipped with rocket boosted turbines for more speed. Its primary weapon is the Sky Launcher, a pair of 9-barrel missile launchers mounted in its wings and can also perform the Karakuri Ninpou Celestial Cleave where it tilts itself to the right and slashes the ground with its propeller, creating a fissure to open up and swallow an enemy. It can also create holographic shadow clones of itself to confuse the enemy. This form is also known as Tenkujin's Heli Mode (ヘリモード Heri mōdo) or Flight Mode (飛行モード Hikō mōdo).

History[]
Shurikenger once brought in two Tenkujin duplicates which could combine with the other machines so that they could combine with both Senpujin and Gouraijin simultaneously and leave a Tenkujin free to fight on its own. They were piloted by Oboro's slave robots, but the robots overheated too easily making the copies inferior to Tenkujin.

Ultimately, Tenkujin was destroyed when Shurikenger used its self-destruct to kill the rampaging Sixth Spear, Satarakura. TV STORY-Scroll 49: Mission and the Heavenly Ninja

Karakuri Giant Tenkujin (絡繰巨漢旋天空神 Karakuri Kyokan Tenkūjin, Trick Giant Sky God): Sky Ninja Shurikenger's personal mecha, converted from helicopter to robot mode with the command "Soaring Transformation" (飛翔変形 Hishō Henkei) where the cockpit becomes arms (revealing the head), the turbines become the legs, and one of the rotor blades (the tips of the blades retract) becomes a headdress. Tenkujin fights with the blades on each of its forearms and can detach the rotor blade to use as either a melee weapon thrown like a giant shuriken. Like Senpujin or Gouraijin, Tenkujin can summon karakuri balls although instead of deploying them from a panel in its chest, Tenkujin summons them via an energy beam generated between its hands. It can also combine with Senpujin, Gouraijin, or Gourai Senpujin with the "Sky Armament" (天空武装 Tenkū Busō) command. This form is also known as Tenkujin's Robo Mode (ロボモード Robo mōdo).

- "Galactic Transcendence Three-God Fusion! Tenrai Senpujin is here!"
- ―Combination command[src]
Karakuri Giant Tenrai Senpujin (絡繰巨漢天雷旋風神 Karakuri Kyokan Tenrai Senpūjin, Trick Giant Heavenly Thunder Whirlwind God) is the combination of Karakuri Giant Senpujin, Karakuri Giant Gouraijin and Karakuri Giant Tenkujin with Tri-Condor that is formed by the command "Galactic Transcendence Three-God Combine" (銀河超越三神合体 Gingachōetsu Sanjin Gattai). Tenrai Senpujin first debuts in the movie when Princess Laiina provided them the Tri-Condor to defeat Ashurasaru. It later appeared in the series in Episode 37, after Oboro Hinata and Sky Ninja Shurikenger created a Tri-Condor of their own through a secret project to defeat Manmaruba Reckless Form. Afterwards, a power overload had damaged the Tri-Condor Shinobi Medals and had to be repaired by Oboro until Tri-Condor could be used again in Episode 41.
Tenrai Senpujin is able to detach Tenkujin's rotors from its chest and transform it into a sword weapon called the Cross Blade for melee combat or to perform the Karakuri Sword Technique: Heavenly Thunder Gale Slash (カラクリ剣技・天雷疾風斬 Karakuri Kengi: Tenrai Shippū Zan) where it lets out a red energy slash. It can also rotate the rotor 45° to perform the Double Cross Formation (ダブルクロスフォーメーション Daburu Kurosu Fōmēshon), where it erects a forcefield that deflects enemy attacks back at the opponent. Its finisher is the Ultima Storm (アルティマストーム Arutima Sutōmu) attack, where the its rotors generate a tornado which lifts monsters into the sky and kills them. A stronger golden version of it is Ultima Storm Maximum (アルティマストームマキシマム Arutima Sutōmu Makishimamu) where it shoots out a powerful tornado covered in red energy and accompanying it with was a black energy ball, when Lady Gozen was in the cockpit with the Earth Ninja, contributing her power to the attributes of Hayate and Ikazuchi Way Ninja Way Academies that represent future and past. This formation does not use HurricaneDolphin as a component. After the three mechas were destroyed in the finale, although SenpuuJin and GouraiJin were repaired ahead of TenkuJin, TV STORY-Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger this formation was not seen again for 19 years, until Superhero Senki.
