The first of Toho and Konami's ChouSeiShin trilogy, Chouseishin Gransazer debuted in 2003.

About 400,000,000 years ago, there was an Ancient Civilization of humans who were wiped out by the Warp Monarch alliance. When the Warp Monarch returns to destroy all modern life on Earth, 12 descendants of the ancient humans awaken their powers as the Zodiac / animal-themed "Sazers". Divided into four elemental tribes, the Sazers are initially turned against each other by Karin, a representative of Warp Monarch. However, once they get over their differences, the Sazers stand together against the villains.


The Sazers themselves are:

The Fire Tribe:

The Wind Tribe:

The Earth Tribe

The Water Tribe

The villains

  • Saeki Karin: A disguised alien of the Akelon race. Tries to use her disguise to put the Gransazers against eachother. When she is exposed, she goes One-Winged Angel, but is defeated.
  • The Impactors: A Proud Warrior Race trio consisting of Henshin Villains. They consist of:
    • Logia: The leader of the trio. A Gun Slinger who mainly uses dirty methods to get what he wants. Also likes to use the trope 'Unexplained Recovery' multiple times.
    • Radia: The hotheaded Brute. Uses an ax as weapon. Subtlety is NOT his preferred method.
    • Lucia: Almost as equally hotheaded as Radia, but completely devoted to please her leader Logia. Wielder of a Boomerang Blade.
