Legend War[]
Years later, Bunta fought alongside not only his own team, but every single Sentai Ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Sugormin commanders, Akarenger noticed the fleet moving towards them. He gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada. The Clover King powers are later used by Don Dogoier via the Ranger Keys. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Space Pirates Appear MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

Super Sentai Strongest Battle[]
Bunta joined the Super Sentai Strongest Battle as a member of Scientist Team. It’s unknown whether he participated in any of the matches, but his team lost the competition either in the first round against the Extra Warrior Team offscreen or won against them and lost in the second round against Gilded Team offscreen.
Personality[]
Initially with a serious, insular personality who only concerned about his mission, Bunta eventually opened up and revealed a more child-like nature. His favorite past time is to play with his kendama toy.
Clover King[]
Clover King
As Clover King, Bunta's cybernetic enhancements enable him to control gravity; altering his weight and density to perform feats of superhuman strength. With his power cycling in the range of 700 horsepower, he is able to use his “Juroku Energy” (Superpower Energy) to punch and kick opponents with devastating effect, throw opponents across great distances with his “Juroku Nage” (Power Throw), and can take down dozens of opponents with his flying jump attack (“King Juroku Press” <King Power Press>).
His left hand can be converted into his “Club Megaton” weapon which can become a ball and chain used to strike and hit enemies as well as bind them.

Ranger Key[]
The Clover King Ranger Key.
- "J.A.K.Q.!"
- ―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement[src]
The Clover King Ranger Key (クローバーキングレンジャーキー Kurōbā Kingu Renjā Kī) is Bunta Daichi's personal Ranger Key and what became of his powers after he along with the rest of the 34 Super Sentai sacrificed their powers to end the Great Legend War.
This key along with the majority of the Ranger Keys were collected by the Red Pirates and later used by the Gokaigers. The Clover King Ranger Key was mainly used by Don Dogoier (Gokai Green), who used it to fight as Clover King.
- Alongside Marvelous, Joe, and Ahim, as they became the original four Jackers while fighting Action Commander Nanonanoda. TV STORY-Ep. 6: The Most Important Thing
- When the Gokaigers became J.A.K.Q. in their fight against Action Commander Yokubarido. TV STORY-Ep. 10: Card Game
- When the Gokaigers became J.A.K.Q. in order to use the Big Bomber cannon against Action Commander Shieldon in a vain attempt to penetrate his shield. TV STORY-Ep. 32: One Power
The J.A.K.Q. Keys, along with all the Ranger Keys of the first 33 Super Sentai, were briefly taken by the Black Cross King and turned into Ranger puppets that were fought by the Gokaigers and the Goseigers. The J.A.K.Q. keys were defeated by Super Gosei Red. MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. Bunta received his key and became Clover King once more. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates

Notes[]
- Clover King is the only member of the J.A.K.Q. team that has a different name compared to the suit of card he represents; instead of "club", the word "clover" is used.
- He is the first Sentai Ranger to have died and revived at some point, although unlike later Sentai Rangers, his death and revival was before he became a Sentai Ranger.
