Afterward, she didn't appear for some time until the Rose Nejire's Demon Therapy plan, posing as a nun. Shibolena tried to transform every child into a Little Rose Nejire. Among the children targeted was Ruri, the new friend of Chisato, who could only think about the birthday cake given to her by Chisato. She then transformed into Chisato and tricked Ruri into drinking the rose potion and used her power to trap Chisato within rose vines.

MegaYellow attacked Shibolena and while they were dueling, she revealed Rose Nejire would most likely to destroy her friend; as long as the rose on Shibolena rapier is not destroyed, Rose Nejire can regenerate as much as she wanted. She proved herself to be a formidable foe and managed to stop all of MegaYellow's attack until she used the Blade Arm to defeat her, thus, destroy the rose on her rapier. Destroying the rose allowed the rest of the MegaRangers to finally defeat Rose Nejire. Shibolena attempted to reveal MegaYellow's true identity but is fooled by MegaBlue's hologram, thinking that both were a different person.

Shibolena was later tasked, along with Yugande, to deliver Nejire Crystal to Antlion Nejire, but due to unforeseen circumstances she has to fight against MegaYellow once again. This time she proved to be more powerful than the Megrangers. She was later transported away after the Mebius Ring on Antlion Nejire's staff is destroyed and the Nejire Doors disappeared.

Using the remains of Mad Guirail, Dr. Hinelar was able to create a new type of powerful monster, called Psycho Nejilar. He also repaired Yugande, creating his third form, which pleased Shibolena. During the battle with the Carrangers, Shibolena was sent by Hinelar to aid Helmedor to control the minds of the Carrangers, which she achieved with her magical kiss. She later used this move on Helmedor himself, when he refused to cooperate and commanded Bibidebi to enlarge both he and Crab Nejilar when they were defeated. She participated in the plan to overthrow Javious, along with Yugande and Bibidebi. When NejiRed rebelled and attacked Yugande, Shibolena moved to protect Hinelar, only to be defeated by NejiRed's laser attack. She was unharmed, due to Yugande's protection and Dr. Hinelar's removal of NejiRed's free will.

She and Hinelar managed to see the Megarangers transform, from civilian form, before being forced to escape and fix Hinelar.

Shibolena's End (49-50)

After the fall of Hinelar City, Shibolena was able to discover the Megarangers' identities, thanks to the previous scheme, and sent Hell Nijilar to expose them. Hell Nejilar success in his mission and exposes them as planned. She and Yugande later teleported themselves in front of Professor Kubota, to kill him for mocking Hinelar, but are defeated, along with Hell Nejilar, by the Megarangers, with help from Mega Silver.

The next day, she is shown tracking Mega Winger's route(Yusaku is searching for Grand Nejiro) to find the base of INET, but the mecha disappeared from her sight. Despite worrying about Hinelar's actions, she chose to carry out the plan with Yugande. She disguised herself as a human and infiltrated Maroboshi High;the former Digital Club Room. However, she was discovered by Teacher Kurokawa and silenced him, but not before discovered the location of INET's base, the moon. She revealed the location to Yugande who responded by bring out the Nejire Reactor, a powerful device that empowered the user, while also having a dangerous side effect. Shibolena refused to let Yugande use it, but eventually changed her mind after listening to Yugande's constant pleas.

After being wounded by MegaRed's drill saber, She managed to return to Grand Nejiro, in order to inform Dr. Hinelar of the destruction of both the Moonbase and Yugande. Her body, gravely damaged, started smoking and she realized she would not survive. Her final words are to Hinelar, which were "Goodbye father", before she exploded right before his eyes.

Abilities

Shibolenabeam — Shibolena can uses laser beam against her opponent.

As a Dr. Hinelar's masterpiece, Shibolena was blessed with many powerful abilities. She can use a powerful electric shock to summon a tornado or control roses (with the help of Rose Nejire's power). With her mere gaze, she can set what she wish on flame in second. She can also create illusions to trap her enemies and fight with a rapier with twisted edges which can also fire laser and electric attack.

While her fighting ability is incredible, she prefers to use tactics to manipulate her opponents instead. One of this is an ability to alter her appearance as she wishes, which she often used in her scheme to disguise as various people. Like other villains, she can teleport at will and can summon Kunekune Army whenever she desires. Later, during Carranger vs Megaranger, she uses an ability to charm her enemies with her magical kiss whose effect is so powerful that the Megaranger are forced to use their most powerful attack to cancel out the effect. She uses this same ability later, on Helmedor, in order to make him a loyal slave.

Appearance

Shibolena's default attire is that of blue thigh-long dress covered with "bathroom tile" pattern. She also wear blue blouse with two different shoulder pieces with different design, one gold and one blue, subtlety refers to her title as "the Blue Angel" as heard in her character song, "The Blue Devil's Smile". Her shoes are boot-like low heel and have similar pattern like her dress. Shibolena wear a blue helmet that was fashioned like her hair and has antennae extend from her left side. Her accessories are a pair crystal earrings and two bracelets.

Disguises

Notes

Shibolena name come from the word Shibori (搾り, Shibori) which mean "to squeeze".
Both Shibolena and Hizumina are portrayed by actress Asami Jo.
Astronema was presumably based on Shibolena as both were once known as different individuals (Shizuka and Karone) prior to their lives as villains. Both were also made into robot/cyborg, however, Shibolena does it of her own will, while Astronema was forced to become one by Darkonda. Coincidentally, both were accidentally killed by the Red Ranger (however while Astronema was revived and restored to Karone, Shibolena remained dead).
Shibolena was seen briefly in episode forty of Power Rangers in Space when Ecliptor was defeated.
Shibolena claimed that she used her DNA to create Rose Nejire. Since she is a robot she shouldn't be able to do this, unless she is a hybrid.
Shibolena was noted for having similarity to Ley Nefel. Both respect their creator as a fatherly figure, both were main female generals that were good with disguises and during their demise, they exploded in front of their creator.
Like many heroines and villainesses, Shibolena has two action figures.
She is similar to Astro Boy in that both of them are robotic copies of their creator's deceased child.

Conception

Shibolena were designed by character designer Miharu Shimojo.
