This article is about a companion/ally who doubles as a mecha in Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. |
Secret Lantern DaiGoyou (秘伝提灯ダイゴヨウ Hiden Chōchin Daigoyō) is a support robot created by Genta Umemori.
Overview[]
DaiGoyou was created after an Ayakashi switched Genta's soul into a piece of sushi that was about to be eaten by a cat; although he was saved before the cat ate it, Genta became fearful of sushi, preventing him from even using his Sushi Changer due to its shape. To make a means to fight without him, he infused his Electronic Mojikara with a lantern in his sushi cart that would be able to fight for him when needed, but with his phobia cured he became able to transform again yet decided to still use his new weapon to assist the Shinkengers. DaiGoyou refers to his creator as "Boss" (親分 oyabun).
He is normally in the splintered form of the Secret Disc shooting Paper Lantern Mode (提灯モード Chōchin Mōdo) and the Jitte Mode (十手モード Jitte Mōdo) baton which ShinkenGold uses as a weapon.

DaiGoyou Big Transformation[]
DaiGoyou forms into his giant robot mode by Genta in pressing the "Big"(大) button on the Sushi Changer and having undergone the DaiGoyou Big Transformation (ダイゴヨウ大変化 Daigoyō Daihenge). Assuming his giant robot mode, DaiGoyou can swap limbs with both ShinkenOh and DaiKaiOh, though the latter was never shown in the series. He can fire many Hiden Disks from the lower slot of his body for ranged attacks and he delivers powerful karate chops for close combat. His techniques include the DaiGoyou Big Flash (ダイゴヨウ大閃光 Daigoyō Daisenkō), where he lets out a bright flash of light in his body to blind the opponent and reveal invisible things, and the DaiGoyou Big Spin (ダイゴヨウ大回転 Daigoyō Daikaiten) where he spins his body around rapidly like a tornado then charges at his opponent overwhelming them with a barrage of spinning karate chops. Daigoyou's finisher is the Secret Disk Turbulence Shot (秘伝ディスク乱れ撃ち Hiden Disuku Midareuchi), where Daigoyou fires a huge array of disks from his body which float in the air above him then shred through the opponent.

Shinken DaiGoyou[]
Combining the Ryu, Kuma, Saru, and Kame Origami with Daigoyou result in a Big Transformation initiated by a Shinkenger writing the kanji for "big", Daigoyou becomes Shinken Daigoyou (シンケンダイゴヨウ Shinken Daigoyō) using the Jitte Mode as a weapon.
The combination itself came about by accident: Daigoyou became so excited into entering the battle that he knocked Takeru's Shishi Origami out of the way during the beginning of the ShinkenOh transformation, fusing with the other four Origami into this combination.
Shinken Daigoyou's finisher is the Jitte Straight (十手一直線 Jitte Itchokusen), where he spins the Jitte Mode rapidly to build up momentum then throws it like a javelin towards the opponent, destroying them. TV STORY-Act 30: The Manipulated Academy
