Phantom Spy Vanculia (妖幻密使バンキュリア Yōgen Misshi Bankyuria) is Underground Hades Empire Infershia's spy, and the self-proclaimed Queen of the Vampires. She is able to split herself into 2 beings, Nai (ナイ Nai) & Mea (メア Mea).
History[]
Despite being a vampire, she is not adversely affected by sunlight. However, though she was immortal, her existence was a lonely one and overtime developed an ability to split herself up into the Nightmare Sisters as a remedy for it. As a result of her "special body", Vanculia was not constrained by the seal that kept the rest of Infershia underground and this served as an overseer of her masters' plans. She had a crush on both Victory General Branken and Sorcery Priest Meemy. Vanculia also had some admiration for Dark Magic Knight Wolzard as he helps her sometimes. She had her own Hades Beasts as pets including the Hades Beasts Mimic and Leech and was also friends of several of the Hades Beastmen like Garim and even had a romantic relationship with Belbireji.
With the help of Hades Beast Leech, Vanculia had the vampirized Houka Ozu under her control until Tsubasa Ozu and the other Magirangers broke the spell on their sister and finally ended Vanculia's winning streak over them. The Rangers managed to destroy Vanculia with Tsubasa's Dawn Crystal and the Magi Cross attack which crucified and blew her up, but that same night she reconstituted herself and destroyed the Dawn Crystal. When Tsubasa tried to destroy her again with the Dawn Crystal, it failed since the same tactic couldn't be used twice.
She awakened the Hades Gods when she discovered their lair by accident. She is like a hummingbird in size when compared to the Gods who were naturally giant. She was kept alive by the Hades Gods so that she could serve them as a spy. She developed a little bit of a crush on Hades God Wyvern, since out of the Hades Gods, he treated her the nicest until he was injured by Wolzard and suddenly started to act bitter, even towards her. She spied on Hades God Drake when he went to the surface world to fight Hikaru, because of Hades Goddess Gorgon's suggestion. She was hardly used by them until Hades God Dagon had her place one of his fish scales on Wolzard so the Hades Gods could track him. She carries another one of his scales to communicate on-site with Dagon. She also watched Wyvern fight the Magirangers before Wolzard Fire came to the rescue. Vanculia also traveled with Dagon and Hades God Sleipnir to see Hades Goddess Sphinx and began to have second thoughts about N Ma. Vanculia resurrected Sphinx and apologized to Dagon for this treasonous action, and was stunned when she killed Dagon. In the end, she joined Sphinx in the "new Infershia". Later, Vanculia gained another WolzaPhone for communication uses.

Years later, Vanculia was taken away and made one of the prisoners held in the Makuu Prison. She demanded to be let out, threatening to curse Joe Gibken if he didn't. But she then saw how handsome Joe was and began flirting with him while holding him against the bars of her cell. It can be assumed she escaped with the other prisoners when they were set loose and returned home to Infersha.

Akibaranger[]
The Nai and Mea of Akibaranger.
In the first episode of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger, the monster of the week, Shibuya Seitaka Awadachi Sou Hidenaga Abura Mushi, disguised himself as two maids dressed as Nai and Mea, just as Vanculia split herself into the original Nai and Mea. They were confronted by the Akibarangers at a cafe. Die-hard Super Sentai fan Nobuo Akagi (AkibaRed), deduced that they were actually one monster from the way they talked. They soon revealed their true form as they combined into Shibuya Seitaka Awadachi Sou Hidenaga Abura Mushi.

Nai & Mea are the split form of Vanculia. Vanculia felt lonely and thus she split herself so she will not get bored. They are mischievous vampire-like girls dressed in Gothic Lolita attire. Many have come to the conclusion that Nai (the former, sometimes romanized as "Nigh" to keep up with their namesake) and Mea (the latter, sometimes romanized as "Mare" to keep up with their namesake) show Vanculia's cheeky and mischievous side. They usually cause trouble for the Magirangers at any chance they get. They can shoot bolts of energy from their mouths. Nai seems to be the "older sister" (or at least hold the major part of Vanculia's thinking patterns), since Mea tends to only repeat a portion of what Nai has just said, or even more rarely complete sentences started by Nai. In order for the two girls merge back into their true form, they hold hands and touch cheeks (before which they usually say "yacchaou ka?" ("shall we do it?") at the same time). When Wolzard briefly powered them up, Nai gained a stone dark crossbow while Mea used an enormous seven barreled cannon. Both of these weapons can be used by Vanculia once her components merge. Whenever a new spell was introduced on the side of the Infershia, instead of Mandora Boy explaining the spell's abilities, the sisters explain. The Nightmare Sisters were the ones that discovered Raigel and brought him back to their lair to be revived as their new commander, Meemy. The Nightmare Sisters gain another power boost again for a time in the form of the WolzaPhones, enabling them to use magic like Meemy and Wolzard, but the phones were eventually reabsorbed by Wolzard.
They also discovered the Valley of the Gods with the Book of Prophecy. When the Hades Gods were awakened, the Nightmare Sisters are not used as much like with their previous superiors except as guinea pigs in Hades God Toad's "body switch" curse because they turned him down. The duo were given purpose when Dagon had them put a tracking scale on Wolzard. The Nightmare Sisters also witnessed Sphinx's death at the hands of Dagon, and were both incredibly shocked by this event with second thought about their association with the Infershia as it was. They showed off their healing abilities by restoring Blagel, Sungel, and Smoky the Magical Cat to life, saying it was their way to compensate for all the mean things they had done.
