Manpuku Aburame (脂目マンプク Aburame Manpuku) is the main antagonist of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger the Movie: The Fateful War.
History
He was the leader of the Kusare Gedoshu, a group of powerful Gedoshu that exuded a corpse-like stench that was sealed away three centuries ago by Retsudou Shiba. However, he was revived by Dokoku along with his followers during the summer time. After being slain by the five Shinkengers, he used his second life, which they soon killed with Tenku ShinkenOh's Tenkuu Bamboo Slash. However, he survived and his outer layer was pulled back revealing his true form, which consisted of a large snake like mouth which teared apart the formation. Despite this, it was easily countered with the Kyoryu Origami which tore off the mouth and combined with ShinkenOh to form Kyoryu ShinkenOh, which destroyed him for good with the Heaven and Earth Flash.
Legacy
A remnant of his Kusare Gedoshu attempted to take revenge for him in a later Shinkenger episode, but they too were defeated by the powers associated with the Kyoryu Origami.

Etymology
- Manpuku's name can be literally translated as "greasy eye, full stomach" (脂目満腹, aburame manpuku)
Notes
- Manpuku's weapon was a retool of Hades Wise God Dagon/Sculpin's Samukama/Trident but with the Trident prong replaced with an axe head. It would be retooled again and used for the illusion of Giemurou of the Kappa.
