History
After Boccowaus ejected the Zenkaigers from Tojitendo Palace, Ijirudestroyer IV was deployed by Ijirude to prove his worth to the Dynasty and destroy the intruding Zenkaigers. He began attacking the complex around the palace relentlessly until Juran, Gaon and Magine enlarged to combat his new invention, though despite holding the initial advantage the Zenkaigers managed to overpower Ijirudestroyer IV briefly, due to some Kikainoids who were sent here by an unnamed god throwing some objects at the mecha, distracting Ijirude and allowing the Zenkaigers to push Ijirudestroyer IV back. This forced him to summon a Kudaitest as backup, and both proceeded to dominate the battlefield until Vroon, Secchan and Kaito returned from within the palace. After they combined and destroyed the Kudaitest, the battle was quickly lost as both Ijirudestroyer IV and its creator were destroyed by ZenkaiOh JuraGaon and ZenkaiOh VrooMagine.
