Dynamen[]
Crab Shinka emerged when the Jashinka Empire began to rise upwards in the Grand Gizmo to start their conquest of Earth. He was then sent by Emperor Aton, Prince Megiddo and General Kar to attack Tokyo. He captured people in bubbles and held them helplessly, until the five future Dynaman emerged and temporarily fighting them, with Hokuto Dan breaking the bubbles with his kendo sword. When the Dynaman finally did their arrival, the monster faces the team until it was overwhelmed by multiple attacks and was blown up by their Super Dynamite. After undergoing the Big Bang Process, the Dynamen hold it off with Dyna Mach and Dyna Mobile until forming Dyna Robo for the first time, where they defeated the beast with their Lightning Gravity Fall.

Personality[]
His personality was nothing heavily different than personalities of other Sentai monsters, being very cunning, devious, strategic and intelligent and determined to finish his mission of the world domination, while aldo being completely loyal to the Jashinka leaders. However, due to his role as the very first monster of this season, he didn't play a great role and was defeated quite quickly, while also showing no significant personality.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Bubble: The mutant could create bubbles to encase and capture people.
- Big Bang Process: Like every other Evolution Monsters, he vould undergo the Big Bang Process to enlarge himself and become giant.
Abilities[]
- Physical Strength: He wasn't a very powerful monster, for the obvious reasons that he was the very first monster of the week of this season, but similarly to all other alien non-human monsters, he was still unambiguously more powerful than the mortal humans and also the key role was that the Dynamen hadn't yet properly realize and learn how to use their powers and so they were hard to fight the Crab Evo.
