Turborangers had two rather interesting (or to some not so interesting) villains known as the hanyo or Nagare Bouma, a concept that was integrated later into future sentai series. Both of them had their own backgrounds. Yamimaru started off as a pest that fought both sides and had no real purpose or aim but to cause trouble. He later decided to trick Zimba into final battle so he could later defeat the Turbo Robo hoping to gain a position in Ragorn's empire as he plotted to take over. He took advantage of Sayoko's misery and convinced her to become Kirika and the two became a pest that was seemingly greater than that of the deceased three generals. Actually only Kirika had a major plothole between them- was she born thousands of years ago or was she born in the present day? There seems to be no answers but its presumed she was put under suspended animation to slow her aging (a concept integrated into Natsuki) and was raised by skull monsters.

There are some Hanyo (oni human + normal human or in mythology between oni and human) characters in Super Sentai. These are: Yamimaru and Kirika- They became the next focus of villains after Zimba, Jarmin and Rehda died in battle against the Turborangers. They are half-human and are wandering due to them being half-Ashu. Yamimaru's parentage is not established but we know Kirika's father is an Ashu. Kou or Kibaranger in Dairanger is born from Shadam the Magician and a human being. Tsuruhime in Kakuranger is born from a youkai from Daimaou's servants and a human. She is another half breed. Eiji has the reverse. His mother is an oni and his father is a normal human like Achilles, son of the goddess Thetis and a mortal named Peleus or the goddess Sheng Mu and her mortal consort Liu Yong who bore their son Liu Chen Xiang. He is another outcast. I wonder why Ragorn never noticed him before? He is one like Yamimaru, a nagare bouma.
