History[]
Rirus Lippig appears at the docks right underneath the hostage exchange for the legendary guitar, and since he gotten it, he was about to deliver it to the Jark Matter's new shogun and remnant, Don Arkage. However, thanks to Noël Takao bringing the Patrangers' gear for a "hostage trade", the Lupinrangers, still in their civilian personas, transformed into the Patrangers to battle Rirus, who used one of the treasure's ability to fire a barrage of logs at them, causing them difficulty due to their new suits being geared for the opposite approach to their usual combat style. After that, he used all three of the guitar's abilities to make a clean get away with it.
A while later, he appeared at his hideout, waiting for the arrival of Don Arkage so he can deliver the stolen guitar to him. After Don Arkage arrived a bit late, he tells his plan to Rirus Lippig because the guitar contains Hyper Planetium and with that power will allow them to conquer Earth. However, unknown to the two, they were being eavesdropped by Stinger, Hammie, and Spada. Before Don Arkage and Rirus leave with the stolen guitar, they were stopped by the three Kyurangers and the arrivals of the Lupinrangers, Balance and Naga Ray.
With that, Don Arkage asked Rirus and the Pordamen to deal them while he makes his leave with the guitar. He managed to deflect the Kyurangers attack and abilities, but he was then shot by the Lupinrangers. A while later during the fight, now with the proper gear, they manage to dodge Rirus' attacks and they manage to gain access to his three safes (which all three of his safes contains the same password and it is 8-2-1) and got three cellphones and they are Le bois norvègien ("Norwegian Wood"), Le feu inoubliable ("The Unforgettable Fire") and Une autre brique dans le mur ("Another Brick in the Wall"). After that, he was then destroyed by the combined attack of both the Lupinrangers and the Kyurangers.
