Plot

170,000,000 years ago, five ancient human kingdoms, with the protection of the Shōgozyu, coexisted peacefully with the dinosaurs. This ended when an evil witch named Bandora started a war on the dinosaurs because of the death of her son Kai. Bandora decided that the only way her son Kai's death could be avenged was if she sold her sould to Dai satan, an evil almost ice head creature who had immense power and who in the later series could be summoned to help Bandora. In the end, five kingdoms were ruined and the dinosaurs became extinct. The Shōgozyu sealed Bandora and her minions on the planet Nemesis before going into hibernation. In 1992, Nemesis returned to near Earth's orbit. Two Japanese astronauts exploring the planet accidentally released her and her minions from their prison. With Bandora free, her enemy, the wizard Barza retreated to his underground lair 2,000 metres below the apartment building where he worked as a front. There, he revived the five warriors he had been guarding, who had been in suspended animation to be awakened when they were needed. These five were each a member of the ancient human tribes, who co-existed with the dinosaurs. With the aid of the Shōugozyu, the ZyuRangers fought Bandora and her Dora Monsters.

Burai (ブライ)/DragonRanger: Another warrior who was in suspended animation in a cave outside of town. He was resurrected by Gnome's' grandson and attacked the ZyuRangers. Geki soon learned that Burai was his older brother, the son of the Black Knight. Their father, the Black Knight, was a prideful man who showed utter disrespect to his monarch, Yamato King. The childless King, rather than executing him, penalized the Knight with his younger son, Geki, adopting the boy as his heir. Black Knight was unable to come to terms with this loss and led a rebellion to take back Geki only to be killed in a duel by the Yamato King. Burai, witnessing his father's death, swore revenge by stealing the Yamato kingdom's Dragon Armor treasure and vowed to kill his younger brother. Burai eventually made peace with Geki and joined the team, helping every once and awhile. It turned out that Burai's life was limited; his sleep chamber had caved in and crushed him, but the gods had brought him back to life because his Dragon Caesar would be needed by Zyuranger. When he eventually died, he gave Geki his Zyusouken (to summon Dragon Caesar) and the Dragon Armor. He was called the Chikara no Senshi (力の戦士 "Warrior of Power").
* Legendary Weapon: Zyusouken (Beast Play Sword). The Zyusouken can be used by Burai to command and control Dragon Caesar.
