Plot

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 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 for fighting demons, arrives to Akebono 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

Each Madan Warrior has a set of keys to either execute an attack, or summon a JuuOh, an animal spirit of the Earth. When Kenji and Fudou power up to God Ryukendo and Magna Ryuguno, their JuuOh become ChouJuuOh, stronger versions of their previous forms.

Madan Swordsman Ryukendo

Kenji Narukami/Madan Swordsman Ryukendo 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 GekiRyuKen and becoming Ryukendo. Since then, he works at SHOT, saving the day more often than not. He is trained in the Narukami Ryujinryu technique. By inserting the RyuKen Key into GekiRyuKen, Kenji can synchronize with GekiRyuKen to transform into Ryukendo. His transformation call is "GekiRyu Transform!". Brave Leon is Ryukendo's lion JuuOh, which can turn into a three-wheeled motorcycle called Leon Trike. His Final Break finishing move, activated by the Final Key, is MaDan Slash. 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. His Madan Keys are also upgraded as well as his JuuOh evolved into God Leon. His finishing move is RyuuOu MaDan Slash.
In the series aftermath, with GekiRyuKen gone, Kenji resumes being a normal police officer, arresting.

Madan Gunman Ryuguno

Juushirou Fudou/Madan Gunman Ryuguno 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!". His Shot Key allows him to use a rapid-fire attack called "Dragon Shot", and his Final Key activates his finishing move, Dragon Cannon, which releases a hundred of GouRyuGun's regular shots in one powerful blast in the shape of a fiery dragon. His JuuOh is Buster Wolf, a wolf JuuOh. Buster Wolf can transform into a motorcycle known as Wolf Bike.
When Fudou loses GouRyuGun in an attack from Bloody's UFO, GouRyuGun is recreated as the Madan Magnum, allowing Fudou to assume the stronger form of Magna Ryuguno. He can also fire rapid-shots from GouRyuGun and the MaDan Magnum simultaneously, known as 'Double Shot'. Magna Wolf is Magna Ryuguno's JuuOh, transforming into the Magna Bike. Magna Ryugunou's finishing move is Magna Dragon Cannon.
In Episode 50, with some of Kenji's power, Fudou turns into Ultimate Ryuguno, 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. In the series aftermath, with GouRyuGun gone, Fudou resumes being a normal police officer, arresting Dr. Mad.

Madan Fighter Ryujino

Koichi Shiranami/Madan Fighter Ryujino isn't a member of SHOT, but rather, a mysterious wanderer, armed with 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 Baron 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!". 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 halberd into a bow with the use of the Archery Key. His finishing move, activated by the Final Key, is RanGeki in Axe Mode and RanBu in Archery Mode. His JuuOh is the raven Delta Shadow, which can combine with Ryujino 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, a golden-armored version of himself. His JuuOh in this form is Ultimate Shadow. In the series aftermath, with ZanRyuJin gone, Koichi takes up work as a delivery boy for Kaori, arriving on the scene as his teammates arrested Dr. Mad.

Madan Swordsman Master Ryukendo

Madan Swordsman Master Ryukendo 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 three Ultimate Keys, and storing them in Rock Crimson, Lady Gold, and Baron Bloody's bodies, making them immortal. The Canon of light returned Master Ryukendo back to normal, 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, instead with a diamond replacing the dragon head and chanting Shadu Iraki Yuza to summon his sword and transform. 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 and emerged from GekiRyuKen encouraging Kenji to not give up hope, as well as teaching him the method to defeat DaiMaOu once and for all.

Madan Keys

Madan Keys are a set of magical keys used by both the Madan Warriors and the Jamanga. Madan Warriors use them to transform into warriors, summon weapons and Juohs and use for finishing moves. Following is a list of keys used:-

Ryukendo

SHOT, the Shoot Hell Obduracy Troopers, are the anti-demon force in Akebono. Since nobody believed that demons even exist, SHOT keeps itself in secret, placing their base beneath the Akebono police station through a special elevator that only its members know of. There are only four members in the Akebono branch, not counting the Madan Warriors. SHOT's Headquarters is hidden
The army of demons called Jamanga serves as the principle enemy of the SHOT organization and the Madan Warriors. Their main purpose is to gather minus energy that is created when humans are in despair to resurrect their leader, Daimaou GrenGhost.
- When fighting a Swordsman Familiar at Akebono Temple, it proved to be a match for Ryukendo's normal form. Ryukendo defeats it with his Fire Mode, but the Jamanga somehow took in the fire attack's source and powered up another Swordsman Familiar with Ryukendo's fire power. In this form, the Fire Familiar gains a flaming sword as well as a large shield that could move telepathically. The Fire Familiar overpowered Ryugunou and Ryukendo in his Fire Mode. Fire Ryukendo, while getting in a sword fight with the Familiar, caused large fireballs to launch and burn Akebono City. In the end, Ryugunou captures the Familiar's shield, and Ryukendo transforms into Aqua Ryukendo, destroying the Fire Familiar. Akebono City also snows from the Freezing Slash made from Aqua Ryukendo.

Demon Beasts

The Demon Beasts are usually created by Dr. Worm using a Madan Key as the core of the monster's form. However, Lady Gold and Baron Bloody can also create their own monsters but without Madan Keys.
