- "Hey Omachi! Ebi Origami!"
- ―Summoning announcement[src]
The Ebi Origami (海老折神 Ebi Origami) is Shinken Gold's main Origami with the form of a lobster. It is known to be the youngest origami.
Overview[]
He created it with the power of his electronic mojikara, though the challenge was to fill it with more powerful mojikara to make it even move starting out until it was finally completed. It can transform into the tertiary mecha called DaiKaiOh.
Ebi Origami can attack opponents with energy discs thrown from its claws called Futomaki Halo (太巻き光輪 Futomaki Kōrin), though this is a rare occurrence, as the DaiKaiOh form has many advantages over the lobster mode.
