In the year 2500, Earth has been taken over and covered in darkness by a race known as the Neo Descal. The remaining members of the human resistance send their trump card weapons, the three Meteor God warships to the past to try to change the future by stopping Neo Descal in 2005, when their attacks began.

A legendary trio of Space Pirates who gained the nickname of "The Three Shoguns". The first enemies of Sazer X, they came to Earth under the command of Captain Barder of the Space Pirate Descal fleet with the intent of taking over the Earth, which had once been populated by their ancestors. In the original timeline, they were successful in gathering the twelve Cosmo Capsules, and their wish to take over the Earth plunged it into eternal darkness. Thus, they are the ancestors of the future Space Pirates that rule over Earth.

The leader of the Three Shoguns, Fire Shogun Blaird (火将軍ブレアード) is the strongest fighter of the trio, but he is the least intelligent and tends to become riled up easily. He quickly develops a one sided rivalry with Takato/Lio Sazer, vowing to someday "settle the score" and defeat him. After Barder is revealed to be an android, he begins to question the mission of the Three Shogun on Earth. His rivalry with Takuto becomes a grudging friendship, and he joins forces with Sazer X with the goal of reuniting the Three Shogun and returning to space. He temporarily joins Jackall against Sazer X and especially Shark Sazer. Jackall's eventual death teaches Blaird the folly of a life consumed completely by revenge and combat, and he returns to the side of Sazer X piloting Jackall's Drill Angler.

The female of the Three Shoguns, Water Shogun Aqual (水将軍アクアル) likes to believe that she is the most intelligent of the Three Shogun, and while she is quite smart she is also extremely vain and prideful. She is the one most dedicated to the Three Shogun's original mission to take over Earth, mainly because she loves power and praise. As a result, she is the one that formally breaks up the Three Shogun by discarding Blaird from the group when he begins to question their mission. When Neo Descal appears, they begin by flattering Aqual as their honored descendant to gain her trust, but this is simply because they cannot kill her without erasing themselves from history. As time goes on, she is relentlessly bullied and humiliated by Neo Descal especially Grouza until Aqual snaps and attempts to assassinate both leaders. She fails in killing Grouza, and only manages to wound Garade. She is saved from a vengeful Garade by the arrival of King Neo Descal himself. Aqual soon grows wise to the schemes of the new leaders, and how they have used Cyclead and herself to further their plans. However, she still has to fight against her own pride before she can accept the trust of Sazer X and finally side with them. She is jealous at Thundera because of Blaird liking her. She is secretly in love with Blaird.

The inventor of the Three Shoguns, Wind Shogun Cyclead (風将軍サイクリード) is clearly the most intelligent of them, and invents many of the devices that they use in their plans. However, he is also the least dedicated to the plan to take over Earth. After their original pirate ship is destroyed, he constantly advocates abandoning the whole plan and returning to space. However, he is bullied into staying by Aqual's forceful personality. Because of his inventing abilities, he constantly gets all the credit for the plans implemented by Neo Descal, because even if Aqual came up with the plan it is his machines that get the attention. When Neo Descal himself arrives to the present, Cyclead is brainwashed with a more aggressive, sadistic personality in order to serve as a distraction while King Neo Descal's real plan is put into motion. He is eventually rescued by Sazer X, and sides with them and the other two Shoguns.

The fourth Shogun, Lightning Shogun Thundera (雷将軍サンダーラ) is the direct descendant of the shoguns that chose to stay on Earth and live underground, as opposed to the shoguns that chose to flee to space. The door to the surface would only open every million years. A legend in her home stated that the first man she met on the surface world would be her destined man. According to history, that man was supposed to be Fire Shogun Blaird. He would have obtained the last Cosmo Capsule from her, and that would have plunged the world into darkness. However, due to a mixup, the first man she saw was instead Takuto, and she instantly fell in love with him. Though Takuto played along at first to obtain the Cosmo Capsule, he eventually confesses that he does not love her and can not live with her. Though she is heartbroken, Takuto apologizes and convinces her that he only had good intentions for his actions. Her heart is moved, and she gives him the last Cosmo Capsule before returning to the underground world.

Grandfather of Takuto and Yui Ando. He knows about the Space Pirates and the Sazer X because of his meeting with Captain Shark in the 1960s. He is a good friend of Commander Shark.

In Episode 38 (final), Yui Ando was chosen by Cosmo Capsules to become one of 12 warriors to make a glorious future. Haruko Ando is a mother of Takuto and Yui is his younger sister. They make General Blaird as their housemaid and order him to wash the laundry. They also teach Blaird a good lesson about love and friendliness.

Space Pirates from the future, who forced their way through the wormhole in order to back up Descal's Three Shoguns after Barder was destroyed and ensure that their plan to take over the Earth in the past was successful. Although they had open disdain for the Three Shoguns, they risk not killing them as it would erase themselves from history. King Neo Descal (ネオデスカル): Neo Descal's ruler, he sent Garade and Grouza to the past to ensure the Neo Descal fleet's existence. But due to their failures, he personally travelled back in time to ensure a future of darkness. Instead of using the Cosmo Capsules to plunge the world into darkness as history dictated, he planned on constructing a massive machine on the Moon called the Dark Alumer (Dark Armor in Filipino dubbed version) to accomplish this task. He transformed into Black Lio to battle against Lio Sazer inside the giant monster. He was defeated by Lio Sazer, however, his memory was still alive.

Space Pirate's Combatants (Chouseishin Gransazer) Also appeared over. It has a weapon such as a knife, it is also possible to attack the enemy wrapped own body to green light ball.

The center of the main three Sazer X mecha formations. It is a humanoid black and white fighter (Core Braver) which is stored upon Lio Carrier. It is armed with various attacks such as "Core Lasers", 'Brave Shot' which involves firing missiles and its finishing move 'Core Buster'. When hit by an "Optimize Beam" from one of the three Sazer ships, the Core Caliber can combine with that ship to form a new, more powerful mecha called a Ryuuseishin (Shooting Star God). The transformation/combination call is "X Formation!" For most of the series, only one Core Caliber exists. However, towards the end two more are created, allowing all four Ryuuseishin to be formed at the same time.

Formed when the Lio Carrier ship combines with the Core Caliber. Piloted by Lio Sazer and crewed by Capsazer G2 and Remy, Great Lio specializes in close combat and grappling. Its weapon is the Lio Cutter, a pair of longswords which can be combined to form the Lio Javelin, a double bladed spear. Its powerful attack is Lio Impact, where it fires devastating shockwaves from the lion's mouth on its chest. Its finishing move is the massively powerful Howling Crush, where the Fire energy from the Lio Javelin smashes into the enemy and obliterates it.

Formed when the Adle Eagle ship combines with the Core Caliber. Piloted by Eagle Sazer and crewed by Gordo, Wind Eagle specializes in fast, mid range attacks. Its weapon is the Eagle Rifle and its finishing move is "Twister Shoot", a series of powered rapid fire shots from the Eagle Rifle.

Formed when the Beet Vizor ship combines with the Core Caliber. Piloted by Beetle Sazer and crewed by Twin Sazer Ein and Twin Sazer Zwein, Magna Beet specializes in powerful long range attacks. Its many weapons include the Megaro Cannon, the large power cannon on its head. Impact Cannon, the series of blaster cannons that make up its fingers, Beet Cannon, a pair of larger cannons located on either side of its head, and Beet Missile, a set of missile launchers located on each arm. Its finishing move is "Beet Buster", where it fires a continuous, charged burst of energy from the cannon on its navel.

Shark Sazer's personal Ryuuseishin. Unlike the other members of Sazer X, he does not need to combine his ship with a Core Calibur in order to form a Ryuuseishin. Instead, the Shark Leaguer takes off from Commander Shark's ship, the Shark Base, and undergoes a simple transformation into its Ryuuseishin form with the command "X Formation!". Its weapon is Sword Pressure and its finishing move is "Hydro Slash".

The personal mecha of Jackall. Like the Shark Leaguer, it functions both as a ship and as a combat mecha, undergoing a transformation activated by the call "Battle Formation!". Its specialty is close range combat, and its main weapons are the massive, powerful drill mounted on its chest and the jagged cutters on its arms. Fire Shogun Blaird inherits the machine after Jackall, using it to assist Sazer X and their mecha.
