 This article is about a villain in Chojin Sentai Jetman.
|
Tran (トラン Toran) is one of the main antagonists of Chojin Sentai Jetman. A member of the Vyram elite alongside Radiguet, Grey and Maria. He appears as a small child, but after being belittled by his Vyram comrades, underwent a drastic transformation into his adult form, Emperor Tranza (トランザ Teiō Toranza).
History[]
Jetman[]
As Tran[]
A psychokinetic child who specialized into creating monsters based on children's playthings to satisfy his fun desires, and thought both enemy or ally fatalities as "just part of the fun". He had great psychokinetic powers. When the Jetman began to suspect that there might be innocent civilians trapped within their enemies bodies, Ryu began to stop serious attacks, afraid of hurting the child Tran might be. This unfortunately led to the other Vyram teasing Tran. The constant anger became unbearable, driving Tran to undergo a super-rapid growth, becoming Emperor Tranza.
Emperor Tranza[]
Tran became Emperor Tranza and seized leadership of Vyram. He wielded the Boltranza long-sword. He had increased power and was able to do damage to the other three. They then united against him. Their first try was to create a monster but Tranza improved upon it wielding it to his advantage, rendering them more upset. When Radiguet sabotaged Tranza's Robot Veronica as revenge, Tranza fed him to the robot. He forgot about Radiguet and came up with a plan that could finally finish off the Jetmen but was thwarted by Radiguet. Defeated by the Jetmen in final combat as a result of Radiguet's influence, he ended up becoming a weak human in a mental institution.
In manga[]
In the non-canon manga, his human body was taken over by Radiguet and he sacrificed himself to destroy Radiguet.
Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai[]
Emperor Tranza is one of several past Super Sentai villains that appear in clips in the anniversary special Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai.
Personality[]
Tran was a sadistic member of the Vyram. He enjoyed human suffering and particularly liked toying with human emotions. Despite this, he was seen as only a mere juvenile amongst the Vyram, with the other generals mocking him and his failures often. The resulting rage and resentment he harbored towards both the Vyram generals and Jetmen ultimately transformed him into Tranza.
As Tranza, he had more power than both the Jetmen and Vyram generals, which allowed him to torment both sides as payback. As such, they had to take him more seriously. This made his arrogance even more pronounced than before, and he proclaimed himself as Emperor Tranza, ruling over the Vyram. He still enjoyed playing with his victims, as shown when he constantly mocked Radiguet and the Jetmen for being less powerful than he was.
Tranza's tendency to disparage and belittle his enemies eventually became the cause of his downfall. Radiguet resented his mistreatment and allied with Red Hawk to ruin his final plan out of spite, resulting in his defeat at the hands of the heroes and eventual powerlessness.
