List of Criminals in Solbrain

This article is about a villain in Tokkyuu Shirei Solbrain.

Continuing the trend from the preceding series, Tokkyuu Shirei Solbrain also foregoes the use of monsters and evil villain empires like those seen in early Metal Hero Series as well as the Super Sentai Series. The villains appearing in Solbrain are usually humans with selfish ambitions, and citizens who turned to crime due to hardships and desperation. The crimes committed by the villains are similar to those depicted in crime and police dramas (e.g. robberies, kidnappings, arson, bombings, murder) albeit with a science fiction touch.

SolBraver rescued Kazuo with the Cerberus Shot, and A320 perished when it tried to self-destruct Inagaki’s laboratory.

Dr. Inagaki (稲垣博士, Inagaki Hakase^?): An arrogant scientist who steadfastly believed that science requires sacrifice for humankind to reap the benefits, no matter the consequences.
