Akebono City is a peaceful community overflowing with humanity. Since there was a Power Spot that released magical power in the community, the people were distressed by the threat of the demon army Jamanga who are gathering Minus Energy (マイナスエネルギー, Mainasu Enerugī^?) from the frightened masses for a sinister purpose. The secret organization SHOT was formed to protect the people of the community from the Jamanga, concealing their existence as ordinary members of the Akebono Police Station, which considers demons beyond their jurisdiction. Kenji Narukami, a student of the Narukami Dragon God Style (鳴神龍神流, Narukami Ryūjinryū^?) for fighting demons, arrives to Akabono to fight the demons, eventually getting his wish when he is transformed to Ryukendo and faces off against Jamanga's forces together with his friends in order to restore peace in the community.

Madan Warriors

The Madan Warriors (魔弾戦士, Madan Senshi^?): Ryuguno, Ryukendo, and Ryujino.

Each Madan Warrior has a set of keys to either execute an attack, or summon a JuuOh (獣王, JūŌ^?, translated as Beast King), an animal spirit of the Earth. When Kenji and Fudou power up to God Ryukendo and Magna Ryuguno, their JuuOh become ChouJuuOh (超獣王, ChōJūŌ^?), stronger versions of their previous forms.

Madan Swordsman Ryukendo

Kenji Narukami (鳴神剣二, Narukami Kenji^?)/Madan Swordsman Ryukendo (魔弾剣士リュウケンドー, Madan Kenshi Ryūkendō^?) moved to Akebono, and was mistaken for a demon upon arrival. After defending a dog in the street, he found himself confronting a Demon Beast, being chosen by the GekiRyuKen and becoming Ryukendo. Since then, he works at SHOT, saving the day more often than not. He is trained in the Narukami Ryuujinryu technique. By inserting the RyuKen Key into GekiRyuKen, Kenji can synchronize with GekiRyuKen to transform into Ryukendo. His transformation call is "GekiRyu Transform!" (撃龍変身, Gekiryū Henshin^?). Brave Leon (ブレイブレオン, Bureibu Reon^?) is Ryukendo's JuuOh, and his Final Break finishing move, activated by the Final Key, is Madan Slash (魔弾斬り, Madan Giri^?). When GekiRyuKen absorbs the combined power of Ryuguno, Ryujino and the Jamanga GrimGoblin, he evolves into God GekiRyuKen. By transforming with this new weapon, Ryukendo gains an advanced form called Madan Swordsman God Ryukendo (魔弾剣士ゴッドリュウケンドー, Madan Kenshi Goddo Ryūkendō^?), who is all around stronger than Ryukendo. His Madan Keys are also upgraded as well as his Juuoh evolved into God Leon (ゴッドレオン, Goddo Reon^?). His finishing move is RyuuOu Madan Slash (龍王魔弾斬り, Ryūō Madan Giri^?).

• Fire Ryukendo (ファイヤーリュウケンドー, Faiyā Ryūkendō^?) is Ryukendo's first powered-up form, activated by the Fire Key. In this form, Ryukendo can call for his personal JuuOh, Fire Kong (ファイヤーコング, Faiyā Kongu^?). Fire Ryukendo utilizes a variety of flame-based attacks. His finishing move is Burning Slash (火炎斬り, Kaen Giri^?). When Ryukendo becomes God Ryukendo, his Fire Key is upgraded to the Burning Key. Using this, he can become Burning Ryukendo (バーニングリュウケンドー, Bāningu Ryūkendō^?), who has Burning Kong (バーニングコング, Bāningu Kongu^?) as his JuuOh. His finishing move is Exploding Burning Slash (爆炎斬り, Bakuen Giri^?).

• Aqua Ryukendo (アクアリュウケンドー, Akua Ryūkendō^?) is Ryukendo's second powered-up form, activated by the Aqua Key. Aqua Shark (アクアシャーク, Akua Shāku^?) is Ryukendo's JuuOh in this form, and he has powers over water and ice. His finishing move is Freezing Slash (氷結斬り, Hyōketsu Giri^?). When God Ryukendo uses the Blizzard Key, the upgraded form of his Aqua Key, he becomes Blizzard Ryukendo (ブリザードリュウケンドー, Burizādo Ryūkendō^?). In this form, his JuuOh is Blizzard Shark (ブリザードシャーク, Burizādo Shāku^?) and his finishing move is Exploding Freezing Slash (爆氷斬り, Bakuhyō Giri^?).

• When Kenji first used his Thunder Ryukendo (サンダーリュウケンドー, Sandā Ryūkendō^?) form, he found himself unable to transform. Eventually though, he not only got the Thunder Key working, but also found his JuuOh, Thunder Eagle (サンダーイーグル, Sandā Īguru^?). Thunder Ryukendo's powers include lightning and electricity, and his finishing move is Lightning Thunder Slash (雷鳴斬り, Raimei Giri^?). Lightning Ryukendo (ライトニングリュウケンドー, Raitoningu Ryūkendō^?) is the form granted from the upgraded Thunder Key: the Lightning Key. Lightning Eagle (ライトニングイーグル, Raitoningu Īguru^?) is Lightning Ryukendo's JuuOh, and his finishing move is Exploding Lightning Thunder Slash (爆雷斬り, Bakurai Giri^?).

• Ultimate Ryukendo (アルティメットリュウケンドー, Arutimetto Ryūkendō^?) is a gold and silver power up that made its appearance in episode 45. It was activated through the use of the Ultimate Key found in Rock Crimson's body. Ultimate Ryukendo is powered by the Ultimate Dragon, which attaches to God GekiRyuKen. His suit is white-and-gold, with a gray visor and a blue crystal on his chest. Ultimate Ryukendo can combine the four JuuOh to create the more powerful Raijin Dragon (ライジンリュウ, Raijin Ryū^?).

Madan Gunman Ryuguno

Juushirou Fudou (不動銃四郎, Fudō Jūshirō^?)/Madan Gunman Ryuguno (魔弾銃士リュウガンオー, Madan Jūshi Ryūgan'ō^?) made his entrance before Ryukendo did, sending an army of Tsukaima to a quick defeat. He really doesn't like it when people call him "Old Man", a nickname that Kenji started despite the fact that Fudou is only twenty-five years old. It was eventually revealed that Fudou and Kenji are a combination destined by fate.

Fudou and GouRyuGun have a strong bond, much closer than that of Kenji and GekiRyuKen at first. When he inserts the RyuGun Key into GouRyuGun, he can synchronize with GouRyuGun to transform into Ryuguno. His transformation call is "GouRyu Transform!" (剛龍変身, Gouryū Henshin^?). His Shot Key allows him to use a rapid-fire attack called "Dragon Shot" (ドラゴンショット, Doragon Shotto^?), and his Final Key activates his finishing move, Dragon Cannon (ドラゴンキャノン, Doragon Kyanon^?), which releases a hundred of GouRyuGun's regular shots in one powerful blast. His JuuOh is Buster Wolf (バスターウルフ, Basutā Urufu^?), which can transform into a motorcycle.

When Fudou loses GouRyuGun in an attack from Bloody's UFO, but GouRyuGun is recreated as the Madan Magnum (マダンマグナム, Madan Magunamu^?), allow Fudou to assume the stronger form of Magna Ryuguno (マグナリュウガンオー, Maguna Ryūgan'ō^?), said to be ten thousand times stronger than his original form. Magna Wolf (マグナウルフ, Maguna Urufu^?) is Magna Ryuguno's JuuOh, and his finishing move is Magna Dragon Cannon (マグナドラゴンキャノン, Maguna Doragon Kyanon^?).

In Episode 50, with some of Kenji's power, Fudou turns into Ultimate Ryuguno (アルティメットリュウガンオー, Arutimetto Ryūgan'ō^?), a golden-armored version of his Magna Form. His finishing attack in this form is the "Ultimate Dragon Cannon". His JuuOh in this form is Ultimate Wolf (アルティメットウルフ, Arutimetto Urufu^?).

Madan Fighter Ryujino

Koichi Shiranami (白波鋼一, Shiranami Koichi^?)/Madan Fighter Ryujino (魔弾闘士リュウジンオー, Madan Tōshi Ryūjin'ō^?, 14-52) isn't a member of SHOT, but rather, a mysterious wanderer, armed with the ZanRyuJin. He's not on the side of the Jamanga either, as he demonstrated in his high-octane entrance battle with Lady Gold. Eventually, he comes to work with Kenji and Fudou. Koichi lived in England when he was a kid, and Commander Amachi of SHOT wanted his parents to work on the Madan Suits for Ryukendo and Ryuguno. Koichi lost his parents in the explosion, but kept his mother's pendant. He stole the Madan Ryu Core to give himself the power of a Madan warrior to avenge his parents, swearing a vendetta on SHOT until he learned that it was Count Bloody who caused his parents' deaths. When he inserts the RyuJin Key into ZanRyuJin, the weapon synchronizes with the Madan Ryu Core to transform him into Ryujino. His transformation call is "ZanRyu Transform!" (斬龍変身, Zanryū Henshin^?). When Beyond Dark revived spirits of the dead, Koichi gave his mother a heath flower he brought from Kaori, and realized that he needs to fight for himself, not for revenge.

Ryujino can turn ZanRyuJin from a halbred into a bow with the use of the Archery Key. His finishing move, activated by the Final Key, is RanGeki (乱撃) in Axe Mode and RanBu (乱舞) in Archery Mode. His JuuOh is Delta Shadow (デルタシャドウ, Deruta Shadō^?), which can combine with RyuJinOh to give him the power of flight. Later, Delta Shadow gains the ability to turn into a motorcycle.

In Episode 50, with some of Kenji's power, Koichi transforms into Ultimate Ryujino (アルティメットリュウジンオー, Arutimetto Ryūjin'ō^?), a golden-armored version of himself. His JuuOh in this form is Ultimate Shadow (アルティメットシャドウ, Arutimetto Shadō^?).

Madan Swordsman Master Ryukendo

Madan Swordsman Master Ryukendo (魔弾剣士マスターリュウケンドー, Madan Kenshi Mastā Ryūkendō^?, 47, 50) is an ancient Madan warrior, whom with his two allies who fought against DaiMaOu in the first war. Unable to defeat DaiMaOu, as only Master Ryukendo went Ultimate, he and his allies combined with the dragons of light and Master Ryukendo became the Madan Ryu Core of GekiRyuKen, his allies becoming GouRyuGun, and ZanRyuJin, so the three could help the next generation. DaiMaOu was reduced to an egg and somehow obtained the Ultimate Key, splitting it into three and storing them in Rock Crimson, Lady Gold, and Baron Bloody's bodies, making them immortal. It was by accident that Master Ryukendo emerged from GekiRyuKen, with no memory until the Jamanga attacked. In human form, he wears ancient Japanese clothing, and his Madan Suit is similar to Ryukendo's, except with a cape and bronze accents. He wields a weapon similar to GekiRyuKen, except it uses no keys and dragon head. Master Ryukendo showed Kenji the Ultimate Madan Slash before returning into GekiRyuken with no memory of the incident. By episode 50, however, GekiRyuKen recovered his memories as Master Ryukendo.

There are only four members in the Akebono branch, not counting the Madan Warriors. SHOT's Headquarters is hidden

• Yuuya Amachi (天地 裕也, Amachi Yūya^?): Commander of SHOT, he poses as the "janitor" at the police station.

• Kiichi Setoyama (瀬戸山 喜一, Setoyama Kiichi^?): SHOT's Magical Engineer, who sends the Keys and reads the writings that bring about developments against Jamanga in the Canon of Light. He doesn't really know anything, but does serve as a gateway between the Canon of Light and SHOT's purposes.

Allies and Civilians

• Kaori Nose (野瀬 かおり, Nose Kaori^?): A florist that Kenji met on his first day in Akebono. Later on, was tricked by Lady Gold into believing that Ryukendo had cut Ichiko and Ritsuko. There appears to be a romantic relationship going on between the two, since Kenji got jealous when Koichi neared her to get flowers for drawing out a Jamanga demon. Kaori was chosen as the leader of the Akebono vigilante group when she won the martial arts tournament.
• Komachi Kurihara (栗原 小町, Kurihara Komachi^?): A lady ghost in white that only those with a passion for justice, like Kenji and GekiRyuKen, can see. This doesn't do much for their reputation. She's actually a spirit of the first Head of the Akebono Police, a female detective. She assisted Kenji in his first fight against Jack Moon. When spirits were being resurrected, she lived again, and delayed giving Kenji the Akebono flower needed to defeat the demon. She left with the other spirits, but returned as he she still wants to hang around. Komachi managed to gather enough energy to help Ryukendo out once and a while, as well as encourage the chief of police, to resume his old way of thinking in terms of justice.
• Ichiko Nakazaki (中崎 市子, Nakazaki Ichiko^?) & Ritsuko Takakura (高倉 律子, Takakura Ritsuko^?): A pair of lively, somewhat incompetent lady cops in Akebono that try to keep the town's peace. More often than not become victims of Jamanga's latest plan, though they are the only cops who actually attempt to fight the demons on a regular basis with a ridiculous supply of firearms ranging from standard police rifles and pistols to a bazooka and SWAT cannon. While Ritsuko was on vacation, Ichiko developed feelings for Rock Crimson before he recovered his memory.
• Umi Saionji (西園寺 海, Saionji Umi^?): Kenji's fiancee, also trained in the Narukami Ryuujinryu technique. She occasion visits Akebono, leaving Rin to watch over him. Was the one to inform Akebono of the Martial Arts tournament. Introduced in episode 10.
• Maria(28): is one of Bloody's Jamadroids that was taken in by SHOT and removed of her battle systems. She obeyed Fudou's orders only, but never seemed to smile. When the Jamadroid control tower's barrier had trapped Fudou, Maria rushed in and took his place in the barrier, allowing Fudou to finish off the tower and delete all the androids. In her final moments, she smiled at last.

Jamanga

The Demon Army Jamanga (魔人軍団ジャマンガ, Majin Gundan Jamanga^?) serves as the principle enemy of the Shot organization and the Madan Senshi. Their main purpose is to gather minus energy that is created when humans are in despair to resurrect their leader, DaiMaOh GrenGhost.

• DaiMaOh (Great Demon King) GrenGhost (大魔王グレンゴースト, Daimaō GurenGōsuto^?): Jamanga's "King of Demons" who fought Master Ryukendo long ago and lost enough energy to regress into a green orb-like egg hovering in the eternally black sky of the area where the Jamanga armies reside. Only when enough Minus Energy, brought about by negative human emotions, is collected, can he be revived. Though he was successfully revived, emerging from his egg to evade Ultimate Ryukendo, GrenGhost was in a larval state and attempt to fully mature at the metal factory, but was easily killed by Ultimate Ryukendo. However, GrenGhost's soul survived and absorbed Worm to create a new human-like body until he possess enough excess power from Ultimate Ryukendo taping into the Power Spot to rip out of his host and assume his true moth-like form before being destroyed by the Madan Warriors' final attack.

• Poisonous Insect Professor Dr. Worm (毒虫博士Ｄｒ．ウォーム, Dokumushi Hakase Dokutā Wōmu^?): Jamanga's monster-maker, who creates Demon Beasts from the Madan Keys. He performs the menial work, such as resurrecting Rock Crimson and telling Lady Gold not to sit on his demon creation pedestal. After his friend RockCrimson was killed, Worm revealed that he knew of the Ultimate Keys and hid the fact to protect his position. With the true exposed, he was almost killed by Lady Gold and Count Bloody, were not for the piece of Rock Crimson on his person. While performing Rock Crimson's funeral, he invited Ryukendo and gang out of his friend's final wish, seeing the true nature of humans. But to save face as a demon and not suffer the wrath of the Jamanga, he revoked his friendship with RockCrimson and defeated the Maden Warriors singlehandedly. Now driven insane by his new found conviction, Worm met his end when he had GrenGhost enter his body, only to be ripped to pieces once GrenGhost was powerful enough to assume his true form.

• Lunar Eclipse Mask Jack Moon (月蝕仮面ジャークムーン, Gesshoku Kamen Jakku Mūn^?, 1-12, 21, 35-48, 51): A swordsman for Jamanga. Though he swore loyalty to GrenGhost, Jack Moon serves him because he's stronger than himself. Jack Moon's ideal were that the strong rule, refusing to destroy a foe he considers to be weaker, citing such actions as a waste of his time and energy. However, Jack Moon's demonic side has pleasure in attacking the weak. Though Ryukendo originally saw him as his rival, he came to see that Jack Moon has no actual warrior's code when he succumbed to his demonic nature and decided to attack Akebono from his Air Fortress while Ryukendo was unable to fight. After his fortress was destroyed by Thunder Ryukendo in Episode 12, Jack Moon was not seen until in Episode 21, when Count Bloody saved him from being sacrificed to GrenGhost for betraying Jamanga. However, Jack Moon's body is dying from the conflict between his hearts and decides to his restore hiss honor by fighting Ryukendo on-on-one during the solar eclipse, restoring his fullpower. Though he fell the Twin Edge GekiRyuKen's Super Thunder Slash, Jack Moon was resurrected as Mechanimoon (メカニムーン, Mekanimūn^?), a cyborg version of himself with golden adornments to his armor and without any memories of himself and freewill, a slave under Bloody. But after GrendGhost's death, he was Jack Moon once more, and, in a final duel with Kenji under the black moonlit night of Christmas, he was defeated by the Narukami Ryuujinryu technique.

• Golden Queen Lady Gold (黄金女王レディゴールド, Ōgonjoō Redi Gōrudo^?, 14-48): A female warrior who fights without demons, relying on magic to that effect the hearts of her victims as seen when she once made the entire town distrust SHOT, and invaded people's dreams with a special orb. She aso has a habit of sitting on Dr. Worm's pedestal. Lady Gold usually lets her trio of personal Familiars fight in her stead. She later gains a Catwoman-like battle suit from Dr Worm when she attempt to steal back the MaDan Keys. Was revealed to have Fudou's Ultimate Key in her body, with Ryukendo removing before Ryuguno finally destroyed LadyGold by blasting the source of her life, her earring, to bits.

• Stone Giant Rock Crimson (岩石巨人ロッククリムゾン, Ganseki Kyojin Rokku Kurimuzon^?, 16, 22, 37-44): A warrior who transforms into a massive ball of stone, an old friend of Dr. Worm. Has amazing raw power, but gets set off if anybody calls him "idiot". He was broken into pieces by Ryukendo's Twin Edge GekiRyuKen, only to be revived later on in episode 22 by Dr. Worm with Lady Gold's help, giving him a stone that allows Rock Crimson to regenerate even after he's blow to bits. It took a team effort and Fire Ryukendo with the Twin Edge GekiRyuKen to destroy RockCrimson. But using the Power Spot's magic, Rock Crimson was revived in episode 37, though defeated by the three Maden Warriors before Dr. Worm took RockCrimson's remains to rebuilt him. Rock Crimson was revealed to have Kenji's Ultimate Key in his body, unwillingly creating Ultimate Ryukendo, who defeated him once and for all.

• Bloodspray Count Bloody (血煙伯爵ブラッディ, Chikemuri Hakushaku Buraddi^?, 21-48): A robotic Demon who saved JackMoon, only to use him as part of his plan. Once Jack Moon died, Bloody took JackMoon's sword and used it to eventually revive JackMoon into MechaniMoon, under his control. He made his attack on Akebono with his AsteRoids before revealing himself, intent on destroying the Maden Ryu Cores. Count Bloody was the one responsible for killing Koichi Shiranami's parents 10 years ago in an attempt to destroy the Madan RyuCores that became Gekiryuu and GouryuuGun, destroying all of Europe if he succeeded. As a result, Bloody became Koichi's mortal enemy. Bloody soon began his part with collecting Minus energy with his Jamadroids and then the construction of Grenstar. He attempted to kill Ryuujinou, but ended up being killed by him, with only his drill staff remaining. Was revealed to have Koichi's Ultimate Key in his body, with Ryukendo removing before Ryujino finally destroyed Bloody for good.

• Familiars (使い魔, Tsukaima^?): Jamanga's never-ending supply of cannon fodder. These purple-bodied, yellow-striped, one-eyed, bat-eared soldiers appear when there's trouble to be caused. However, with the exception of special Familiars, the regular kinds are neither bright nor difficult to defeat.

Though he gathered mass amounts of minus energy, SHOT managed to trap Elemoon in tank Dr. Worm had been driving in Episode 3, only for him to fully use the Thunder Key to get out.
