ZZ Gyuri (ヅケヅケギューリー ZukeZuke Gyūrī, 32) is a Gorotsuki and the Bowzock's biggest lover and connoisseur of kimchi.

History
ZZ Gyuri was sent by President Gynamo to get cucumber kimchi for Beauty Zonnette, who had discovered a new love for kimchi herself. At first, he was actually just going to get some from a restaurant Ichitarou showed him; when the owner told him he could get better cucumber kimchi in Korea, he decided to commandeer the stolen RV Robo and set a course for Korea, having outfitted it with heavy explosives to stop the Carrangers from attacking it. If they did, they would destroy their original mecha. While VRV Robo & RV Robo battled, Red Racer managed to sneak inside the RV Robo, and in one of the best-remembered scenes in the show, fought Gyuri on top of the waist-mounted explosives (halting RV Robo in the process). Red Racer managed to send the monster hurtling to the ground before shooting the bomb off and knocking it onto him. However, Gyuri survived somehow and ate Imo-youkan to enlarge. However, he was soon after killed by VRV Robo's Victory Twister.
Personality
ZZ Gyuri is obsessed with kimchi and will go to extreme lengths to get it, such as rampaging in RV Robo all the way to South Korea. Despite that, he is surprisingly polite and friendly when addressing others, even politely asking Ichitarou to show him where to find kimchi. He even takes a moment to do "tough guy" poses with him.
Modus and Arsenal
- "Gyuri!"
- ―ZZ Gyuri after enlarging himself.[src]
Gyuri is mostly a very prodigious swordsman, being armed with a blade of his own which he uses to duel Red Racer on par. He almost defeats him in their duel and would have won, if not for Red Racer using his Auto Blaster to knock him off of him. He also has notable agility, shown both in his duel with Red Racer, and his giant fight against VRV Robo, where he evades the first strike thrown at him by the mecha by rolling under it.
Notes

Portrayal
- ZZ Gyuri was portrayed by Keisuke Yamashita.
Behind the Scenes
- From ZZ Gyuri's Concept art, his head is very different then his costume. His head was perhaps changed for the costume because the mouth was see through, and thus couldn't put it in without the suit actor being seen. The sketch in the top right having a different face supports this.
