Plot

3,000 years ago, the space pirates Balban invaded Earth. Seijuu and the first Gingaman, warriors of the Ginga forest, fought them with the mystical power called Earth and eventually were able to imprison them. Subsequently, the Ginga people cloaked their forest within marked boundaries and passed on the duty of Ginga warriors through generations.

Hyuga, Gouki, Hayate, Hikari and Saya are chosen as the 133rd warriors of the Star Beast Swords. Ryouma is very happy that his elder brother Hyuga succeeds to the honorable title. When Elder Orghi holds the ceremony of the succession of Star Beast Swords, an earthquake breaks the seal of Balban.

Orghi orders the 133rd warriors to get the Ginga Brace hidden in Roaring Mountain. However, the Balban attack them to prevent the birth of new Gingamen. During the battle, Hyuga gets swallowed into a crack in the ground which Captain Zahab of the Balban created. Becoming enraged, Ryouma activates his hidden Earth and awakes Ginga Brace. The Gingamen fight together with Seijuu against the Balban, who desire to revive the Demon Beast Ditanix on whose 'corpse' they built their castle.

Steerwoman Sherinda: The cruel & selfish steerwoman of Ditanix, Steerwoman Sherinda's face is scared by Hayate and she swears vengeance against him. Near the finale, Sherinda challenges Hayate to a one-on-one duel and is slain by him.
Barreled Scholar Pucrates: A stout little being that has been researching ways to revive Ditanix, Barreled Scholar Pucrates lacks battle skills but makes up for it with his extensive knowledge. He helps his love Iliess arrange Budou's death. When Iliess dies because of fellow Balban's plotting to steal her power to revive Ditanix, he begins to go mad. He barely escapes with his own life and hatches a plot to destroy Captain Zahab, eventually forcing Hyuuga to work for him. However, he is killed by Shelinda before he can see his revenge fulfilled.
Gun General Sambash: A straightforward gunman, Gun General Sambash is the first of the four Balban Generals to fight the Gingamen. He carries a pistol and fancies himself something of a lone biker. His Majin are biker bug-themed. He kills himself by driving his motorcycle off of a cliff in a blaze of glory when he uses up his final chance to defeat the new Gingamen. Sambash is also Bullblack's rival, responsible for sealing the Black Knight in the deception of the location of the Galaxy Lights.
Sword General Budou: A calm swordsman who is the second general of the Balban, Sword General Budou has a mostly white and blue outfit with manta ray-like wings as a partial cape behind him. He has a samurai sword (Girasame) and a blue face with a black and white version of his horizon emblem on his head. His Majin are marine animal-themed. He takes over the search for the Galaxy Lights, but also has Bullblack to deal with. When the Lights are finally found, Budou sends his most powerful servant (Dotoumusha)to retrieve them. But Illiess has her own soldier, Medoumedou, pose as Budou and deceive Dotoumusha into absorbing the power of the Lights, betraying him. Budou is locked up after being setup as a traitor (no doubt Illiess blabbed to Zahab while Medoumedou donned his form) only to be released by Yamimaru and Onimaru, who reveal to him that Medoumedou (and ultimately Illiess) has framed him. Budou gets his revenge by killing Medoumedou and dies soon after in a duel against GingaRed.
Spectral Empress Iliess: Spectral Empress Iliess is a spiteful sorceress who is the third general, intending to revive Ditanix through sorcery. Of course, her plots and her Majin fail to do so. Her Majin are based around mythology. She eventually takes matters into her own hands, absorbing the dead souls of her tribe to fight the Gingamen (in a powerful chimera-like second form), but dies in the process. Her heart is used to resurrect Ditanix.
Break King Batobas: Break King Batobas is a powerful fighter who uses several weapons. He is the strongest warrior among the four generals. His Majin are based around brute strength, although some of them are also machine-based. He is the last to fight the Gingamen, with the mission to get enough energy to fully revive Ditanix. He is later sent to find the Earth Beast and mature it fully with a Growth Extract, but he ended being eaten alive by the monster.
Bezunera: Bezunera is the evil merchant who captured three Seijuu, which he made into cyborgs and sold to Balban. But after his merchandise teams up with the Gingamen, Beeznella is recuited into the pirate crew under the service of Batobas.
