 to Earth. The Family's matriarch, the Grand Witch Grandiene, hoped to travel to our dimension, by using the great amounts of minus energy that would emerge in Earth, when the Grand Cross had formed. Her children, the Psyma Siblings, awaited her arrival, sending Psyma Beasts to destroy and finish off the human civilization. They have their headquarters, Psyma Paradico, in the North Pole

.: The ruler of the Psyma Family and mother to the four siblings. The ultimate form of all the minus energy in the universe. She set everything up for her arrival in this reality on the day of the Grand Cross. However, the GoGoFive interrupted the ritual and Grandiene ended up trapped half-way. Having failed, she ordered her sons and daughter to gather minus energy for her, continuously failing. After Salamandes' death, Grandiene took matters into her own hands and used the evil energies gathered by the Psyma Paradico to complete her passing. Then, in a cruel and cold act, Grandiene sends her own son Kobolda to his death to accomplish her goals; revealing to Zylpheeza that she never really cared for the well-being of her children. She believed they would turn on her, like Gill did, and deliberately sent them out to die. She admitted also that she only used them to bring herself into the human world. Her body was destroyed by the Max Victory Robo, though her spirit remained and took possession of the revived and powered up bodies of Zylpheeza and Salamandes. She did this in an attempt to fulfill her goal of destruction. She was finally killed in the end after she was stripped of all power when the Max Victory Robo Sigma Project defeated the Destruction Gods Zylpheeza II and Salamandes Dragon.: Psyma family's (supposed) first born, the Demon of Aerial Calamity

-like leader of the Psyma siblings, he is given the highest title of Dark King and hates humans, but is deeply loving to his siblings and mother. He was admired by Cobolda and Denus. After being man-handled by the GoGoFive, Zylpheeza went on a personal war with them that resulted in his death at the hands of the Max Victory Robo. After a few attempts, Zylpheeza was resurrected, at the cost of Denus's life. He soon learned the truth of his mother, after killing his younger brother Kobolda, under her influence. He is then killed by his mother in an effort to destroy the GoGoFive. He is later revived as a puppet, with parts of him turned black, including his eyes. After hearing the words of Nagare and Shou, Zylpheeza awakens, just to be killed by his youngest brother Salamandes. Zylpheeza was possessed by Grandiene's spirit and transformed into the giant (49-50): Together with Salamandes Dragon, they managed to destroy the Max Victory Robo (piloted by Go Red), and disable the Grand Liner (piloted by Go Blue) and the Victory Mars (piloted by Go Green), but both were killed for good by the Max Victory Robo Sigma Project.; Grandiene's (supposed) second born, the Demon of Ground Calamity

. He is the strongest of the Psyma siblings and his strategies always relied more in power than thought, giving him a complex when he compared himself with the dexterous warrior Zylpheeza or the cunning strategist Denus. Secretly coveting the rank of Dark King, he tried to take it over after Zylpheeza's death, but was overpowered by Salamandes. He and his older brother Zylpheeza are close because they survived together when they were younger; ironically, near the finale he was deceived by his mother to fight the GoGoFive, when he was given the Cobolt Bazooka, and was killed by Zylpheeza who was being controlled by Grandiene.: Grandiene's only daughter and only human resembling child, the Demon of Aquatic Calamity

. Gifted in the arts of disguise, she often used them to gather information or just cause havoc. Her strategies were particularly cruel and fearsome. She felt great respect for her older brother Zylpheeza. Near the finale, her plan to use a spider to syphon off Matoi's life-force to resurrect Zylpheeza failed, when the other GoGoFive were able to separate the spider from Matoi, by striking the other spider that was on Zylpheeza's chest. Venus, not wanting Zylpheeza to die again, placed the spider (The one that was used on Matoi) on her own chest and sacrificed her life so Zylpheeza could live.: The youngest, formerly at the start of the series, the Demon of Fire Calamity

. Dragon blood runs through his veins, his blood shown to have regenerative properties, having Lizardes drink of it to heal his wounds. Being just an infant, he had to be cared for by Pierre, and would only say "Drop", not being able to speak. Despite this, his high sorcery and fire abilities let him participate among his older siblings. Upon Zylpheeza's death, he received the Dark King Star and used energy that was transferred from Zylpheeza. Drop underwent a maturation inside a cocoon. During that time, his soul took on the form of a human boy with pyrokinetic

 powers, who Matsuri befriended. After the period of maturation, Drop had become Salamandes. Using the Dark King Star on his chest, Salamandes can create the in which the solar light is completely cut-off, allowing the Psyma beasts to boost ten times their power. Later on, after the GoGoFive used Victory Mars to stop the minus-energy asteroid that Grandiene sent, he started to fall out of favor with her. But after the destruction of the Infinity Card, Salamandes completely fell out of favor because he allowed a valuable weapon to be destroyed. He attempted to lure the GoGoFive to Hell in order to regain favor with his mother, but Grandiene trapped all of them there. With some help from Pierre, Salamandes killed all the hell-bound demons and absorbed them to become . The GoGoFive had a difficult time against him, since Salamandes was now able to transform human souls into energy powering him up through the "Psyma Tree", which Pierre had grown at an orphanage. When the long lost mother of one of the orphaned children that the GoGoFive had befriended arrived, her tears had weakened the Psyma Tree's power. Without the soul energy, the GoGoV were able to use the Victory Mars' Top Jet, the Max Victory Robo's Max Cannons, and the Victory Mars (after impailing him with its staff) using Mars Flare to kill him and only his green gem remained. In the finale, Pierre is able to convince Grandiene to use Salamandes's gem to resurrect him, which she did. He was revived, alongside Zylpheeza, who was now under Grandiene's control. Luckily, Shou and Nagare were able to convince Zylpheeza that Salamandes was his younger brother Drop, forcing Salamandes to kill him, only to be defeated by Shou and Nagare. But in the end Grandiene revived him as a complete puppet under her control in a dragon-like form, . Together with Zylpheeza II, they managed to destroy the Max Victory Robo, and disabled the Grand Liner and the Victory Mars, but both were killed for good by the Max Victory Robo Sigma Project.

 to Drop when he was still young and was loyal to him the most out of the siblings. He was thought to have been killed, when the backlash energy from the Max Victory Robo Sigma Project's Sword crushed him against the wall of a building. Truthfully, it just transformed him into a small fly-like form. He later reappeared in Timeranger vs. GoGoFive to help the Londers Family, having witnessed many of the Timerangers' battles. Using his Psyma Magic he made the Londers Prisoners immune to the Timeranger's weapons. However, the GoGoFive manage to even the playing field as Pierre is forced in a position to use the Psyma Fusion spell on himself and Londers Prisoner Boribaru to became .

 who helped Salamandes with his plan to trap the GoGoV in Hell. He summoned the spirits of past Psyma beasts, that were slain by the GoGoV, who sought to be reborn in their bodies, but Chaos lost control over the dead demons when the GoGoV broke his staff. Went with Salamandes after he became Ghost King Salamandes. Chaos died when he protected Ghost King Salamandes from Grand Liner's Grand Fire attack.: The foot soldiers, armed with short swords. The Imps could become Mecha-sized when in the Psyma Zone.
    • Denus' Imp Bodyguard Corps (35): There were also female Imps who served Denus, which were killed by GoGoFive. Pierre revived them as one giant Imp that then divided and became three. These three were killed by Max Victory Robo.: The Psyma family's true first-born, according to GoGoFive vs. Gingaman. Having just been born, he attempted to kill Grandiene so she had Pierre dispose of him in the darkest depths of Hell. Gill survived, however, and became stronger from the ordeal, with a scar on his chest to prove it. Then, he was brought back into the land of the living, by Salamandes, and sought to summon The Infernal Dark Beast from Hell onto Earth. He planned to do this by using the blood of many people to accomplish this goal. He was fatally wounded fighting Go Red and GingaRed, but he used his own blood to complete the ritual.
  • Grim Reapers (GoGoFive vs. Gingaman): Gill's henchmen from Hell. They are extremely resilient, able to pick themselves up after being knocked down from attacks. Only fire seems to be their true weakness, as they dissolve when coming into contact with it.

Psyma Beasts

The are demons of calamity created by the minus-energy-powered fusion of a "Psyma Soul" and the information in the Psyma siblings' cards. Pierre throws an information card into the World of Darkness and pronounces the incantation: "Evil Magic, with your power we shall create a Psyma Beast from the World of Darkness! Amiyasu Amiyasu Amikurosu... Psyma Creation!!!". When they are defeated, Pierre throws a Regeneration Card to turn the demon's remains into a 'Giant Ghost' ("Evil Magic, with your power grant this fallen Psyma Beast the last strength! Amiyasu Amiyasu Amijiisu... Psyma Regeneration!") that only Victory Robo can defeat. When Grand Liner killed Magma Golem, its remains became Golem Cards that Pierre uses to revive dead Psyma Beasts as gigantic . Unlike giant Psyma Beasts, the Golem Psyma Beast are much larger and revived with a hardened body that only GrandLiner can pierce through. Later on in the series from episode 30-39, Salamandes occasionally created the Psyma Zone, making it impossible to operate Victory Robo. Only Victory Mars could function properly in the Psyma Zone since its power system is not dependent on Solar Energy.
