Madakodama (マダコダマ) is a Yamabiko-themed Ayakashi who was recruited for the Evil Spirits by Buredoran of the Chimatsuri. He is the secondary threat in Tensou Sentai Goseiger vs. Shinkenger: Epic on Ginmaku.
History[]
Madakodama aided Buredoran with his attempts to destroy the Goseigers' homeworld, ultimately betraying Shitari and the Gedoshu by using the Sanzu River to flood the Gosei world. 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) 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.

Abilities[]
- Two Fold Return: Madakodama's signature ability, which sucks any projectile fired at him through his cave-opening and is redirected ten-fold through the Yamabiko-head on his shoulders.

- Tensou Mojikara Mixtures: when the Goseigers and Shinkengers perfectly combined their elemental abilities together, they were unable to be directly absorbed and reflected by Madakodama, utimately rendering his primary ability useless.
Arsenal[]
- Arm Cannon: Madakodama's left arm is equipped with a yellow cannon that can shoot fireballs.
- Arm Blade: Madakodama's right arm is equipped with a curved blade for close-range combat.
