This article is about a Ranger and mentor in Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger and Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger Brave. |
This mentor is also known as the former villain, Demon Sword Priest Torin |
- "The Shining Brave, Kyoryu Silver! (閃光の勇者、キョウリュウシルバー! Senkō no Yūsha, Kyouryuu Shirubā!)"
- ―Kyoryu Silver's roll call[src]
Wise God Torin (賢神トリン Kenjin Torin) is the Archaeopteryx-themed mentor to the Kyoryugers and a former member of the Deboth Army. He later becomes Kyoryu Silver (キョウリュウシルバー Kyōryū Shirubā), the partner of Zyudenryu Bragigas.
History[]
Origins[]
Torin was a former member of the Deboth Army under his original title of Demon Sword Priest (魔剣神官 Maken Shinkan), created by Deboth himself as his herald on Earth ages ago to ensure its destruction. However, amazed of the prehistoric Earth's potential to become strong, Torin had a change of heart and wept, feeling his heart fill with an emotion he would come to know as 'Bravery'. Torin, his heart now full of justice, decided to protect the planet from his creator and his older brother Chaos. To that end, Torin uses his powers to alter 24 members of specific species of dinosaurs into the Zyudenryu.
However, in the final fight, the Guardians were killed by Great Land Devil Gadoma, with Torin's partner, Bragigas', tears turning their remains into amber fossils known as The Guardians’ Secret Stones. Bragigas' grief soon became pure rage. Unable to control himself, Bragigas used its strongest, and most risky ability against Gadoma; the Gigant Cannon. Torin pleaded with his Zyudenryu partner not to fire, but Bragigas did not listen. Gadoma and Deboth were defeated, but Bragigas was lost. During this battle, Torin confronted, and defeated Chaos. In the fight, Torin severed one of his older sibling's shoulder pauldrons, causing Chaos to harbor a grudge.
Humanity and the Kyoryugers[]
Over the next many millennia, Torin recruited multiple humans who can fight with the Zyudenryu, slowly forming the Kyoryuger to fight the reviving Deboth Army. Despite his bond with his team, he hid his relation to the Deboth Army from them, all while finding a way to revive Bragigas. The only one who knew the secret of him being a former Deboth Army member is Dantetsu Kiryu.
Revelation, First Death, and Revival[]
Later, Chaos revealed Torin's secret origins to the Kyoryugers. To prove this, he pours Luckyulo's Restoration Water (which has no power over Earth organisms) over Torin, making him grow. The Kyoyugers use Kyoryuzin to stop him. However, Torin took the Goren Zyudenken and impaled it into himself, killing him and fossilizing his body. Later, through the use of the Kyoryu Spirits of the Guardians within the Secret Stones, Torin was revived.
Mad Torin and Kyoryu Silver[]
After freeing Bragigas from Gadoma's curse, he was confronted by his evil copy, Mad Torin, who reveals he that defeated Kyoryu Cyan and Kyoryu Grey. Mad Torin was created by Chaos to serve as, not only Torin's replacement as a Deboth High Priest, but as a conduit between the physical world and the Deboth Army's afterlife. Torin, long disconnected from Deboth's energies, was too weak to win against his counterpart. After some convincing from his team, Torin realized that Bragigas had no shame in having Torin for his partner. Severing all connections to the powers of Deboth, Torin became a living conduit of bravery.
The silver Gaburivolver Yayoi had given him transformed into the Giga Gaburivolver, and Torin was finally able to Brave In, becoming the Shining Brave (閃光の勇者 Senkō no Yūsha), Kyoryu Silver. Torin is easily able to subdue Mad Torin, but also, because of the power granted to him by Bragigas, he was strong enough to once again use his sword to its full potential before he had sustained his crippling injuries, defeating his clone with his signature technique, Trinity Streiser (トリニティストレイザー Toriniti Sutoreizā).
When Mad Torin was enlarged, the seven Kyoryugers fired the new version of the Gigant Cannon, the Super Zyuden All Gigant Explosion, to finish off Mad Torin once and for all, and also preserving Bragigas' life. TV STORY-Brave 36: Giga Gaburincho! The Silver Miracle
Training Souji[]
Souji was impressed of Torin's swordplay, especially his Trinity Streiser technique. After Torin found out Souji was trying to mimic the move, he decides to teach Souji himself.
Human Form[]
Reiko Tanba, Souji's mother has found out about Souji's life as a Kyoryuger, so she decides to take him away to make him a fashion designer, angering Souji's father. Reiko demanded to see the leader of the Kyoryugers. When Daigo steps up, she knows that he really is not and wants to see the one that assembled the Kyoryugers. Knowing that she will freak if she sees a monster like somebody, Torin takes up a human form with a little help from the Maximum Zyudenchi, by using it to access Tessai's ability to cast illusions. Torin (in his disguised human form) explains everything to Reiko.
Later after a battle, Torin was still transformed as Kyoryu Silver, because the human form effect was a once use only. After a few words from Torin, Souji is able to convince his mother that being a Kyoryuger has made him happy.
Final Death[]
Torin, sensing something evil on the wind, bestows his Feather Edge upon Souji as the others prepare for battle. He claims to have no ominous pretenses, saying it is "hope for the future" that inspired the idea, though something was clearly amiss.
When Deboth revives and begins the process of reaching his newest evolution, Torin tries to use Bragi-Oh to halt his creator's progress. However, this only leaves him weakened, as Deboth rises as Chozetsushin Deboth, who then severely bests Gigant Bragi-Oh. Torin returns to the fight to save the Kyoryugers, but Deboth stops short of a final blow knowing that, since Torin is now a Kyoryuger, he would return as a Spirit to fight again.
Dantetsu Kiryu arrives, and Deboth says that Dantetsu, who now has an alliance with the Deboth Army, can kill Torin as if he were a Debo Monster, which will send him into Deboth Hell, preventing conventional tactics to reach him. Using his flute, Dantetsu plays a mysterious melody that causes Torin to feel great anguish as he is weakened. Dantetsu then gets in close to Torin. Dantetsu bids his old friend farewell, then grabs the GaburiCalibur Torin was using and stabs Torin through the back, causing the Radiant Brave to turn to dust. The rest of the team scream in agony, helpless as their founder is murdered before their eyes.
As Spirit in Deboth Hell[]
However, Torin's death is just a part of a plan between him, Dantetsu, Tessai and Ramirez. When Dantetsu killed Torin, he did not kill him as a member of the Deboth Army. Instead, he had sent Torin to the Darkness of the Land with his soul intact, starting a rebellion from within to stop each Debo Monster's revival, cutting off much of the Deboth Army's more powerful agents.
Fighting deeper into the Darkness of the Land, he is eventually joined by Ramirez and Tessai (having passed their powers on to Yuko Fukui and Shinya Tsukouchi, respectively), knowing that if they can destroy the source of Deboth Hell, it will cease to exist, and no Debo Monster will ever return. However, they get ambushed by Chaos, who allowed himself to get killed by Dantetsu (who had succeeded Torin as Kyoryu Silver upon his death) to stop their plans, figuring if there is a slight chance Deboth is destroyed, they need Deboth Hell to return. Before he can stop them, though, Canderrilla steps in to save them. With the combined power of the four, they were able to defeat Chaos and destroy the source of Deboth Hell, ending it once and for all. Torin was last seen alongside Ramirez and Tessai, watching the living team when Daigo returned from space as a spirit before he vanishes, finally accomplishing the task he began all those years ago.
ToQger vs. Kyoryuger[]
Torin appears in ToQger vs. Kyoryuger for two brief moments. The first was him talking with the Rainbow Line President, hinting that their plans were his idea. The second was after Devious was finally defeated, where he and the Rainbow Line President tried to shake hands, but are unable to, given their current states. MOVIE STORY-Ressha Sentai ToQger vs. Kyoryuger: The Movie
Zyuohger the Movie: The Heart Pounding Circus Panic[]
He returns along with Doggie Kruger, Master Sha-Fu and Ticket as a cameo in the ending. MOVIE STORY-Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger the Movie: The Heart Pounding Circus Panic
Kyoryuger Brave[]
When the Neo Deboth Army emerged in South Korea, Torin assembled a team of residents to become the Kyoryuger Brave.
Once Deizarus was finally destroyed and the Neo Deboth Army vanquished, Torin's spirit returned to the afterlife after seeing off the Kyoryuger Braves. TV STORY-King 12: Forever! Kyoryuger Brave
100 Years After[]
Torin appears 100 years later to help Canderrilla find the other Zyudenchi that she misplaced, striking the team picture that was hiding the fully stocked charging station. He then appears in front of Dai-kun, explaining that once the latter recovers the most important element of becoming a Kyoryuuger (brave, though Torin does not say it), Minityra will reveal to Dai-kun what his color should be. Torin also leaves him the SP Zyudenchi for sue once he discovers that.
As the new Kyoryugers engage the Deboth army in their proper colors, Torin tells Canderrilla that she can add her power to theirs by singing the song of the Kyoryugers. MOVIE STORY-Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger Returns: 100 YEARS AFTER
King-Ohger vs Kyoryuger[]
Torin along with the Spirit Kyoryugers appears to fight Glodi, with Souji giving him back his Feather Edge to defeat him. It's presumed that they came from Hakabaka. MOVIE STORY-Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger vs. Kyoryuger
Personality[]
to be added
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Evil Sense: Torin can sense the actions of the Deboth Army via the winds.
- Teleport: He has ability to teleport himself and other people. Limitation of this ability is still unknown, but he could teleport himself and an unwanted passenger (Daigo) from an island in the southern sea to Japan.
- Energy Beam: He can fire a yellow beam from his bare hand.
- Temporal Immortality: As a Deboth agent, Torin doesn't age naturally. He is at least over 100 million years old.
- Spirit Power: He can release his spirit to communicate with his allies, as well as enter a Zyudenchi to purify the Zyudenchi attack's target. He can also implant a piece of his spirit into Feather Edge, to send a delayed messenger to the Kyoryuger. However, while using his own spirit in an attack, he is likely to risk his own life as shown when freeing Utsusemimaru from Dogold, had Ramirez not arrive to his aid.
- Brave: Once he finally severs all ties to the Deboth Army, he becomes a being able to create Brave. What once had weaken him over time, is now his newest source of power.
- Human Form: Using the Maximum Zyudenchi Torin can borrow Tessai's illusion powers to assume a human form, though he can only use this transformation once. The disadvantage is that he is unable sense if the Debo Monster or Deboth Army are attacking. Onwards, he never used it ever again.
- Feather Kunai: Torin can use his own feathers in a matter of a Kunai. Despite this, he rarely used this attack.
Abilities[]
- Superhuman Reflexes and Superhuman Speed: He can move very quickly to avoid an enemy's attack.
- Combatant: He is a very skilled swordsman, keeping up with the likes of Dogold and Chaos.
- Flight: As a bird-like creature, he can use his wings to fly.
Weaknesses[]
- Fossilization: As he left Deboth's power, he will be slowly fossilized if he joins the battle for too long. He also became weaker as time went on, and can only recover with the help of The Guardians’ Secret Stones. However, after converting his body into a living conduit of bravery, he no longer suffers from this.
- Inner Darkness: As he was a former Deboth Army agent, Torin can be swayed by the darkness within his heart thanks to Joyful Knight Canderrilla singing a dark version of her song that affects his Deboth cells. Since he renounced his ties to the Deboth Army and became a being of Brave, it was unknown if he could have still been affected by this.
