Cube Kirin (キューブキリン Kyūbu Kirin, lit. Cube Giraffe) is an orange auxiliary Zyuoh Cube modeled after a giraffe. It forms the left ankle of Wild ZyuohKing, the lower left ankle of Wild Tousai King and the right hand of Wild Tousai Dodeka King.
Overview[]
Instead of a number, Cube Kirin is emblazoned with an exclamation point (!). This is to signify that although this is a Zyuoh Cube, it is not one of the six King's Credentials. In battle, Cube Kirin can headbutt an opponent as well as fire an energy beam from its mouth or vaccum up anything restraining the other Zyuoh Cubes while its narrow profile and agility make it an extremely difficult target to hit.

History[]
Discovered in its dormant state by a pair of civilians, Cube Kirin was reclaimed by Yamato and Amu who had mistaken it for the missing King's Credential which would allow the Zyumen to return home. During the battle with the enlarged Bowguns, Cube Kirin awakened and joined forces with the Zyuohgers, who used its firepower to counter the Deathgalien Player's own shots before being used as a bazooka by ZyuohKing to destroy him with the Zyuoh Fire. TV STORY-Ep. 3: Want to Go Home but Can’t
Cube Kirin was summoned again to free Cubes Elephant and Tiger from the giant Amigard's Capture Net before being equipped by ZyuohKing, performing the Zyuoh Fire to destroy Amigard. TV STORY-Ep. 4: Howl in the Ring
The Kirin Bazooka was again utilized by ZyuohKing to destroy a flight of Triangulars led by Gaburio. TV STORY-Ep. 5: King of the Jungle
Cube Kirin became fast friends with Cube Mogura when it joined the team. TV STORY-Ep. 9: A Day Does Not End
Alongside Cube Mogura, Cube Kirin joined the six primary Zyuoh Cubes in forming Wild ZyuohKing, allowing the Zyuohgers to overcome and destroy the giant Massacre Machine Gift. TV STORY-Ep. 11: Animals Assemble
Led by Tusk, the Zyuohgers brought forth both ZyuohWild and ZyuohKing armed with the Mogura Drill and Kirin Bazooka respectively to face the enlarged Hattena with ZyuohKing quickly opening fire on the giant hat only for him to evade Kirin Bazooka's firepower before attaching to ZyuohKing's head, resulting in Leo and Sela losing control as Hattena comandeered ZyuohKing with the Kirin Bazooka himself, opening fire on ZyuohWild. Tusk took charge, however, and quickly turned the tables by outmaneuvering Hattena as ZyuohWild leapt forward with the Mogura Drill piercing Hattena, thus forcing him off ZyuohKing. Combining the Zyuoh Cubes into Wild ZyuohKing, the Zyuohgers quickly finished Hattena with the Zyuoh Dynamic Strike. TV STORY-Ep. 12: The Short-Nose Elephant
Along with Cube Mogura, Cube Kirin complimented the ZyuohWild Special formation whose body was made up of four primary Zyuoh Cubes as opposed to three. TV STORY-Ep. 30: The Legendary Megabeast
As one of the Zyuohgers' fourteen Zyuoh Cubes, Cube Kirin became a component of the ultimate combination, Doubutsu Dai Gattai Wild Tousai Dodeka King. TV STORY-Ep. 35: The Zyuohgers Last Day
Kirin Bazooka[]
Cube Kirin can change into the Kirin Bazooka (キリンバズーカ Kirin Bazūka) which ZyuohKing can use in any of its forms to perform the Kirin Bazooka Zyuoh Fire (キリンバズーカ・ジュウオウファイア Kirin Bazūka Jūō Faia) finisher, the nature of which differs depending on which combination is using it.

Notes[]
- Cube Kirin's cube form is an homage to the ! Blocks from the Super Mario franchise and like them gives a power up to ZyuohKing when activated.
