History

Kyoryuger Brave

Arriving at Earth, Raimein was enthusiastic to find whoever carried the Power of the Dragon King and take it from them. He clashed with Homuras, who was sent down first in his stead. TV STORY-King 1: The Birth of a New King!

When Juhyeok arrived at the ship, Raimein was first to confront the space mercenary, facing him in a brief skirmish in which the man proved immediately matched before offering his services to Deizarus as he arrived. TV STORY-King 3: Gabugaburincho, We're a Team!

Realizing that Deizarus suspected Juhyeok to hold the Power of the Dragon King, Raimein stepped in to draw it from him alongside Homuras. Though their combined attack provoked a reaction seemingly confirming Deizarus' suspicions, Raimein was nevertheless beaten back by Brave Gold Dino using the Plisukeos Dinocell, informing the mercenary that his contract was terminated. TV STORY-King 6: Brother! Howling Crying Soul!

Requesting a second chance to draw the power from Juhyeok, Raimein was approved by Deizarus and so confronted Juhyeok as he was fighting Hyeonjun Jeon. Beating Brave Black Dino, Raimein faced Brave Gold Dino one-on-one. Though ultimately beaten back, Raimein confirmed the Power of the Dragon King within Juhyeok as he endured his lightning to save Hyeonjun. TV STORY-King 8: Revival! Giga Bragigas!

When Neo Deboth was challenged by Juhyeok, Raimein met him on Deizarus' behalf alongside Homuras and Arash. Overwhelming Brave Gold Dino, the generals were matched by the arrival of the four Rangers followed by Juyong. Raimein was beaten back by Brave Gold and Red Dino then retreated along with Homuras while Arash remained and ultimately fell. TV STORY-King 10: Farewell! Brave Gold Dino

Realizing that Juyong was the true Dragon King, Raimein was sent forth by Deizarus to confront Juhyeok, facing the mercenary one-on-one when his Zorima were defeated. Though Raimein was eventually beaten, it was at this point that Deizarus appeared himself to attack Juhyeok, rendering at him at his mercy before the arrival of his real quarry, Brave Red Dino, after he had destroyed Homuras. Juyong was easily incapacitated and seized by Deizarus who took him along as he returned to his ship with Raimein, where he began the process of drawing out the Power of the Dragon King from him personally. TV STORY-King 11: Which One is Real?! King of Dinosaurs

Standing guard as his master absorbed Juyong's power, Raimein was confronted for the last time by Juhyeok, who had came to rescue his brother. Facing Juhyeok in a final duel, Raimein was ultimately destroyed when his sword was seized and Brave Gold Dino finished him with a double slash. TV STORY-King 12: Eternal! Power Rangers Dino Force Brave

Chou Super Hero Taisen

An iteration of Raimein leading a pack of Zorima was among the Shocker army of the Game World led by Shocker Leader III, the boss of the Chou Shocker Taisen bonus stage. This army was ultimately wiped out by a combined force of Sentai Rangers and Kamen Riders; Raimein was destroyed alongside Shin Ginis by Kamen Rider Para-DX Fighter Gamer Level 50 with assistance from five summoned Super Red Rangers.
