Wielding a violin and learning under Otoya, the Octopus Fangaia lures humans to feed on, usually other violinists. It takes Yuri a while before learning that the person she is protecting is the Fangaia herself. Her abilities include shooting inkballs from her mouth, shooting tentacles from her body, and morphing her feet into skates. After her violin is damaged in the fight, the Octopus Fangaia is forced to go into hiding as her mentor refuses to help her anymore. Later in 2008, the Octopus Fangaia gets Wataru to repair her violin, targeting Megumi for her mother's act against her. But Kiva's interference gives Megumi time to destroy the violin. The Octopus Fangaia attempts to flee, but ends up being outmatched by Kiva and destroyed before being sealed in Castle Dran.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/kiva/fangaia/03.html|title=TV Asahi's official page on the Octopus Fangaia|accessdate=2008-02-03}}</ref>

Engines

The Go-ongers' mecha are the Engines (炎神, Enjin), denizens of Machine World, choosing the Go-ongers as their partners to fight Gaiarc. While in the Human World, the Engine cannot exist in their full size and thus remove their Engine Souls to assume small forms called Engine Casts which are kept in the Engine Attache until they are needed, resuming their true size on Earth for only 10 minutes.

The Go-onger's primary robot is Engine Gattai EngineOh (炎神合体エンジンオー, Enjin Gattai Enjin'ō).[9] It is comprised of:

The secondary Go-ongers' Engines act as combinatory weapons for EngineOh.

  • Engine Birca (炎神バルカ, Enjin Baruka, a hybrid between an orca and a motorcycle): Go-on Green's partner, best at quick movements, he forms the left arm of EngineOh Birca (エンジンオーバルカ, Enjin'ō Baruka). [12].

Allies

  • Bonper (ボンパー, Bonpā) is a pink robot created by the Engines to support the Go-ongers, creating the Go-onger arsenal and performing maintenance on the Engines.[14]

Gaiarc

The Go-ongers fight the Barbaric Machine Clan Gaiarc (蛮機族ガイアーク, Bankizoku Gaiāku), machine-men from the Machine World who desire to pollute the Earth. The Gaiarc based themselves in a fortress on an isolated island.[15]

Land Pollution Minister Yogostein (害地大臣ヨゴシュタイン, Gaichi Daijin Yogoshutain)
