- "Big sister! Big brother!"
- ―Yoka Daidarabotchi's final words before his death
Daidarabotchi [Citation needed]from 23 April 2023 (UTC), or Daidara Botch[1] (ダイダラボッチ 50) is a burly yeti-like Youkai, who is also the younger brother of Daimaou. He briefly disguised himself as an innkeeper alongside his older sister, Yama-uba. He was eventually destroyed by a combination of Super Kakure Daishogun, Muteki Shogun, and SamuraiMan.
History[]
Though unseen, Daidarabotchi's spirit presumably emerged within the Seal Door along with all the other defeated Youkai, after their master Daimaou was finally contained there by the Kakurangers. Reeling that they were now powerless in captivity, the Youkai all vowed that they would one day be reborn and regain their power, cursing humanity. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Sealing!!
