This article is about a mecha in Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger |
Zenkai Gattai ZenkaiOh (全界合体ゼンカイオー Zenkai Gattai Zenkaiō, Lit. "All-World Combination Full Throttle King")[1][2] is the main mecha in Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger, unique in that it only requires one pilot and has a "mix-and-match"-style combination with four known forms, each composed of two mecha each.
Overview[]
The combined form of the Kikanoid Zenkaigers in their enlarged Mecha forms, ZenkaiOh is unique in that rather being one singular giant robo, the Kikainoid members simply combine into 2 distinct but similar humanoid forms, and can interchange components inbetween. Each form has two sets of mechanical jaws on the shoulders that allow the consciousness of one of the components to take control of its form by simply snapping shut a certain number of times. The resulting combination wields the personal weapons of its components. Each combination has a floating platform with a control console in the center, where Zenkaizer operates them by attaching the Geartlinger to the control panel. Despite this, the sentient nature of the mecha's components means that even without Zenkaizer at the helm, the pilotless ZenkaiOh can still fight alongside the one Zenkaizer is piloting. Zenkaizer also has the ability to switch in-between different cockpits, the platforms of which hover in place whenever the mechas separate.

Components[]
JuranTyranno[]
JuranTyranno (ジュランティラノ JuranTirano) is the mecha form of Juran. As JuranTyranno, Zenkai Juran can utilize the Juran Sword (ジュランソード Juran Sōdo) as a tail for powerful slashes, breathe fire, fire energy shots from the vulcans on his shoulders, and transform between his dinosaur and robot forms at will. In this form, Zenkai Juran can finish off giant foes by simply leaping into the air and falling rear end-first, impaling the enemy with the Juran Sword. When combining into Zenryoku ZenkaiOh, JuranTyranno becomes the right arm, while the Juran Sword and Juran Shield become part of the Zenryoku Zenkai Sword.

Formations[]
ZenkaiOh JuraGaon[]
- "Gashin! Zenkai Juran. Zenkai Gaon. (Go! Go! Go! Go!) ZenkaiOh~! JuraGaon!"
- ―Combination Announcement[src]
ZenkaiOh JuraGaon (ゼンカイオージュラガオーン Zenkaiō JuraGaōn)[3] is ZenkaiOh's alternate combination of JuranTyranno and GaonLion. This combination features Zenkai Juran as the entire left half, while Zenkai Gaon makes up the right. Juran and Gaon's conscious can take full control of the mecha by snapping the fangs once for Juran and twice for Gaon. ZenkaiOh is armed with the Juran Sword and Juran Shield when Juran's in control, and the Gaon Claw when Gaon's in control. Using Zenkai Juran's weapons, the mecha uses a combat technique similar to that of a knight. When using the Gaon Claw, however, Zenkaioh switches to a more barbaric fighting style, leaping and jumping while strangling the enemy with its legs.
Its finisher is the Juran Sword Full Moon Crush (ジュランソード円月クラッシュ Juran Sōdo Engetsu Kurasshu), where ZenkaiOh JuraGaon waves the Juran Sword in a circle that constructs an energy manifestation of a Sentai Gear. After the energy infuses itself into the sword, the mecha executes a three-fold energy slash to destroy Kudaitests/Great Worlds.
With ZenkaiOh VrooMagine, ZenkaiOh JuraGaon can perform one of 2 finishers:
- The first is an unnamed attack which sees both ZenkaiOh use the Juran Sword Full Moon Crush and the Vroon Picker Accel Strike in concert with each other, the slashes forming a manifestation of the Zenkaiger logo which then races towards and impales the enemy. This was used to destroy Great Sushi World and Great Door World.
- The second is the ZenkaiOh: Zenryoku Full Break (ZenkaiOh:全力フルブレイク Zenkaiō zenryoku furu bureiku), where ZenkaiOh JuraGaon and ZenkaiOh VrooMagine race towards the enemy and deliver a single punch each to destroy the enemy. This was used to finish off the Izirudestroyer IV and finally end Mechanic Officer Izirude.
Appearances: Zenkaiger Episodes 2-9, 11-13, 15, 17-19, 21, 30-31, 39-41, 45-48
ZenkaiOh VrooMagine[]
- "Gashin! Zenkai Vroon. Zenkai Magine. (Ichi, Ni, San Shi Go! Ichi, Ni, San Shi Go!) ZenkaiOh~! VrooMagine!"
- ―Combination Announcement[src]
ZenkaiOh VrooMagine (ゼンカイオーブルマジーン Zenkaiō BuruMajīn)[4] is ZenkaiOh's alternate combination of VroonDump and MagineDragon. This combination features Zenkai Vroon as the entire left half and the wheels are placed on each leg, while Zenkai Magine makes up the right and the wings are placed on each shoulder. Vroon and Magine's conscious can take full control of the mecha by snapping the panels once for Vroon and twice for Magine. ZenkaiOh is armed with the Vroon Picker, utilizing it as an ax or an energy crossbow, when Vroon's in control, and the Magine Stick when Magine's in control. Numerous times, however, the mecha is seen using both simultaneously.
Its finisher is the Vroon Picker Accel Strike (ブルーンピッカーアクセルストライク Burūn Pikkā Akuseru Sutoraiku), where ZenkaiOh VroonMagine moves forward on its wheels to charge the Vroon Picker. After the weapon reaches full power, the mecha executes a three-fold energy slash to destroy Kudaitests/Great Worlds. Against Great Tennis World, the mecha's finisher was the VrooMagine Heaven's Smashing Drop Shot, where the mecha flies skyward before delivering a serve that bombards the enemy with a cluster of explosive tennis balls.
With ZenkaiOh VrooMagine, ZenkaiOh JuraGaon can perform one of 2 finishers:
- The first is an unnamed attack which sees both ZenkaiOh use the Juran Sword Full Moon Crush and the Vroon Picker Accel Strike in concert with each other, the slashes forming a manifestation of the Zenkaiger logo which then races towards and impales the enemy. This was used to destroy Great Sushi World and Great Door World.
- The second is the ZenkaiOh: Zenryoku Full Break (ZenkaiOh:全力フルブレイク Zenkaiō zenryoku furu bureiku), where ZenkaiOh JuraGaon and ZenkaiOh VrooMagine race towards the enemy and deliver a single punch each to destroy the enemy. This was used to finish off the Izirudestroyer IV and finally end Mechanic Officer Izirude.
To cope with Great Noon World's bright light, the combination temporarily sported a pair of solar viewing glasses conjured by Magine's magic powers, while against Great Tennis World the Magine Stick briefly became a tennis racket. The mecha was also piloted by Secchan while battling the Izirudestroyer IV.

Notes[]
- ZenkaiOh is:
- The first primary robo that requires only one pilot.
- The first robo with more than one theme song.
- The summoning for VrooMagine is a reference to Shuriken Sentai Ninninger since it has numbers shouted at the viewer while said words are written at the top of the screen.
- Although both ZenkaiOh JuraMagine and VrooMagine feature the same component as the right half, the CGI renders for both feature black right hands, while the VrooMagine suit features a pink right hand.
- Both Juran and Gaon are announced by a female voice while Vroon and Magine have male announcements.
- Due to the toy-accurate natures of most Super Sentai mecha suits, both primary combinations of ZenkaiOh feature exposed heads somewhere on the left half of their bodies.
- An original plan proposed by Shin-ichiro Shirakura for ZenkaiOh was to initially appearing human-sized before they would grow to gigantic proportions. This idea was scrapped in order for Zenkaiger to keep up with the schedule for toy releases, but is later implemented to Dai Gattai Don Onitaijin and the other mecha from Avataro Sentai Donbrothers.[9]
- Although there are two primary versions of ZenkaiOh, ZenkaiOh JuraGaon is the most prominent in marketing, with the JuranTyranno receiving more combinations than the rest of the mecha in the series.
