Confrontation Beast Anglerfish-Fist Mukoua is a Beast-Man of Rinjuken Akugata; working under Sea Fist Demon Rageku.

History

AConfrontation Beast Anglerfish-Fist (臨獣アングラーフィッシュ拳, Rinjū Angurāfisshuken) user sent to the Edo era by Rageku to retrieve the Virtuous Beast Sword and ensure the Gekirangers, Rio, & Mele can not return, possessing the body of Kira Yoshinaka to remain in the time period. Intent on taking him out before the Akehoushi raid can start, the Gekirangers fight their way throughout Kira's manor to find Mukoua, having a hard time until Rio and Mele arrive and aid in fighting Mukoua. Though defeated by Jan and Rio, Mukoua swallows the Virtuous Beast Sword before enlarging. He is destroyed by GekiRinTohja, with the Virtuous Beast Sword released in the explosion.

Rinshi

The Rinshi (リンシーズ, Rinshīzu) are the jiangshi warriors revived by Rio performing the Ringi technique "Rinzai". The Rinsi are in turn led by Mele, who is in charge of their development in some cases, being low-level users in the Akugata, they wear masks formed by a hat and a blindfold and use lances as their weapons. If a Rinshi can cross through the Chamber of Trials, defeating the other Rinshi inside single-handed, he/she can remove the mask and the animal motif on the forehead materializes, with the Rinshi receiving new attire and promoted to the more powerful rank of Rinrinsi who can assume "Beast-Man" form for a tentative amount of time. When they die, their bodies petrify and explode in violent bluish flames.

Rinrinshi

The Rinrinshi (リンリンシー, Rinrinshī) are high-ranking Rinshi who pass the Chamber of Trials, allowed to remove the mask as the animal signature to his/her fighting style forms on the forehead and gain a new attire to signal the rank. Rinrinshi can obtain Beast-Man form, but only for a short among of time depending on the level of Rinki amassed inside. However, the Rinrinshi empowered by Maku's power can assume Beast-Man form for an indefinite amount of time. Like the Rinshi, the Rinrinshi die as their bodies petrify and explode in violent bluish flames.
