"So you're one of the Gosei Angels?"

"Huh?"

"I'm not done yet either!"

Madakodama (マダコダマ) is an Ayakashi who became one of the Evil Spirits. He appeared in Tensou Sentai Goseiger vs. Shinkenger: Epic on Ginmaku.

History

Madakodama aided Buredoran with his attempts to destroy the Goseigers' homeworld. After Buredoran and Makadoma were defeated by the combined power of the Two Six Part Strike and the Super Goseigers' Miracle Gosei Dynamic, he grows himself into a giant but is finally destroyed by Ground Gosei Great's Ground Great Strike and Daikai ShinkenOh's Turbulence Slash.

Yokai origin

According to folklore, the yamabiko (山彦, yamabiko) is a mountain-dwelling dog/monkey yokai that is responsible for delayed echoes. Madakodama's ability to absorb and redirect attacks is thought to be the basis of this legend.
