The Mythical Beast-Fist (幻獣拳, Genjūken) is a group of martial artists that appears as the antagonists during the last quarter of the Super Sentai Series installment, Juken Sentai Gekiranger. Utilizes a golden qi called Mythical Ki (幻気（げんき）, Genki), the Mythical Beast-Fist users seek to surpass the power of natural beasts by mastering the power of mythical beasts, with thirteen fighting styles based on the Five Sacred Beasts and the Chinese Zodiac. Overtime, the Mythical Beast-Fist revealed to be actually a front for Long to raise a potential human though the Infinite Path (無限道, Mugendō), turning that person into a mindless monster that would destroy the world. All Mythical Beast-Fist users possess a gold-colored fighting form.

Rio
Rio (理央, Rio) is the destined leader of the Mythical Beast-Fist, according to Long. Being the original user of the Confrontation Beast Lion-Fist (臨獣ライオン拳, Rinjū Raionken), Rio accepts the title and undergoes Long's Gengi to be infused with Mythical Ki and embrace his destiny, becoming a master of the Mythical Beast Gryphon-Fist (幻獣グリフォン拳, Genjū Gurifonken) style. As a result, he can assume a new armored form called Mythical Beast King Rio (幻獣王リオ, Genjūō Rio) until he learns the truth behind his new-found power when he is nearly consumed by it and becomes the Destroyer (破壊神, Hakaishin). He leaves the Mythical Beast-Fist soon after, purging the Mythical Ki in his body. His motif while Mythical Beast King is the Huang Long, which is above the Four Sacred Beasts of Chinese myth.

Upon his transformation into the Mythical Beast King, Rio says, "Pure fierceness, pure power, Leaving the world, one without equal." (強きこと、猛きこと、世界において、無双の者, Tsuyoki koto, takeki koto, sekai ni oite musō no mono.)

But after learning of Long's true plans for Rio, Mele leaves the Mythical Beast Fist and purges the Mythical Ki from her body.
