Gloven (グローブン Gurōbun, 40) is the Karo of Space Shogunate Jark Matter who ruled the Cassiopeia Constellation system.
History[]
When the Kyurangers arrived on Planet SBC of the Cassiopeia System, Gloven contacts them to challenge them to a game of Deathball. If the Kyurangers win his game, they get the Kyutama.
Gloven and his team of Indavers are at bat first. Lucky pitches and Gloven easily hits what should be a home run, but Raptor morphs and flies up in the air to catch it.
Lucky is able to strike out two Indavers and the Kyurangers step up to the plate.
Kotaro is up first and has a base hit. Balance bunts the ball and gets out, but Kataro makes it to second base. Stinger steps up to the plate, but Madakko appears as the relief pitcher. She is ready to show them how Deathball is really played.
Stinger says he’s ready, but Madakko shoots at him. Stinger flips out of the way and morphs. He attacks Madakko while the other Kyurangers take on the Indavers.
After Lucky’s big first inning, Gloven decides to try and break him arm. Spada morphs and hurries over to stop the attack. The umpire benches Stinger for fighting. Lucky is at bat and he manages to hit Madakko’s fastball out of the park. He and Kotaro make it home and it is now 2-0.
But Lucky’s arm is hurting bad from Gloven’s attack. Tsurugi says he will relieve Lucky while Commander Ronpo tells Spada he will fill in for Stinger.
Next inning, Gloven is at bat and hits a fly. Raptor and Hammie are ready to catch it, but Gloven hurls his bat at their faces and it ricochets at Kotaro. Gloven declares the real Deathball is starting. The Indavers knock the Kyurangers over, Madakko shoots bullets at them and the field umps. The score is now 8-3, in favor of the Kyurangers.
Tsurugi is at bat, but Gloven pitches a demon ball which blows his shirt off. Champ is next and Gloven pitches another one. Another one for Garu and it’s three strikes. Madakko steps up to the plate and hits a homer, but she manages to clone the ball into 8, getting her 8 points. The score is now 11-8, Jark Matter advantage.
Bottom of the 9th, two outs. Spada is at bat with bases loaded. First pitch and it’s a strike. Spada tries his best and asks Gloven why isn’t he getting a demon ball. Gloven says there’s no point since he is useless. Spada refuses to accept that he’s useless. He swings and it’s Strike 2.
Commander Ronpo calls a time out and says they should suspend the game for tomorrow since it’s getting too dark. Gloven says that’s not a problem since it won’t change the result anyway, especially with the game in the hands of the “useless” guy.
Next morning, the Kyurangers are in the dugout. Spada never returned last night and so now it might be time for Commander Ronpo to step up. But Spada and Lucky show up. Spada asks his comrades to leave this to him as he walks across the field toward home plate. He tells Gloven not to underestimate him and asks Gloven to pitch him a demon ball.
Raptor watched Spada and Lucky’s training all night and she is confident Spada has this. Spada steps up to the plate. Gloven prepares a super demon ball. He pitches.
Spada drops his bat and says while he can’t swing a bat, he has a horn on his head. He morphs, spears the ball and sends it flying for a home run. Gloven can’t believe his demon ball was beaten. Madakko shoots at the Kyurangers.
Spada says he wasn’t good at cooking or fighting at first, but he’s here now because of his blood and sweat. That’s what gives them strength. Just then, the Cassiopeia Kyutama appears. Spada uses it and they get a special Championship Pennant ball. They toss the ball at each other while fighting Indavers. It ends with Lucky who morphs to Orion and delivers an End Ball at Gloven.
Gloven embiggens and the Kyurangers hop into KyutamaJin. With Orion Battler, the Kyurangers deliver a Super Galaxy Meteor Booster finisher to finish Gloven for good.
