Soccer Ball Grumer (サッカーボールグルマー Sakkā Bōru Gurumā) is a soccer-themed Kurumaju from the Great Space Invasion Running Team Hashiriyan.
History
Waruido Spindo and Grantu Risk video-calling the chairman and vice-chairman of the Big World Complex Football Association (BWCFA). Now the head of the Big Bang Soccer Association, Spindo offers the chairmen to join him in return for million gallons of Ghassolin. Just as the chairmen about to successfully agree, the Boonboomgers bust in their office to prevent the deal from happening. Spindo decides that they should settle things down on the field and throws a soccer ball to a stadium, creating Soccer Ball Grumer.
Soccer Ball Grumer commentates on the match and introduces the teams as the BWCFA chairmen seat on their reserved seats. The 5 vs 5 players lineup consists of Taiya, Ishiro, Jyo, Genba and Sakito on the Boonboomger side (with Mira, Bundorio and Byun-D as substitutes), and Soccer Ball Grumer, Super Great Gym Grumer and the Sanseaters on the Hashiriyan side. Mira asks Byun-D if Big Bang Soccer is played like Earth soccer, but he tells her to see it for herself.
The game begins, and Soccer Ball Grumer manages to snatch the ball from Genba and score a goal with his Armageddon Shot, injuring Jyo the goalkeeper and send him flying. Mira replaces Jyo as the BWCFA chairman asks his vice-chairman to go get them drinks. The match continues, but Genba and Sakito start fighting over the ball. Decotrade tackles them and gets the ball, which Mira thinks is a foul but Byun-D states that it's typical Big Bag Soccer play. Itasha kicks the ball to the goalpost using her Itasha Switch Shot, but Mira successfully catches it thanks to her prior housekeeping job. However, when she looks back at her hand, she notices that she held Yarucar instead while Itasha leisurely kicks the ball into the goalpost, hence why she called her move the "Switch" shot. The BWCFA chairman cheer on the Hashiriyans as the chairman tells his vice-chairman to go get him an hot dog.
When the match continues, Genba and Sakito fight over the ball once again, prompting an Annoyed Taiya to transform into his Bun Red 119 form to cool them down with Hose Impact. While Soccer mocked the Boonboomgers that they fight against each other at a crucial time, Ishiro scores a goal against the Hashiriyans, setting the score to 2-1 in favor of the Hashiriyans. The Chairman is livid upon this fact and accidentally kicked the metal bench, causing him pain. Taiya decides to swap Genba and Sakito with Bundorio and Byun-D, much to the duo shock and disbelied. Spindo contacts Soccer Ball Grumer and tells him to get his act together, claiming he hates getting passed on, to which Soccer Ball Grumer complies. Right when Bundorio kicks the ball to the goalpost, Soccer Ball Grumer makes it disappear. Mira and Super Great Gym Grumer appear on on a rooftop, to which Byun-D notes once again that this is typical Big Bang Soccer play since the field is literally an universe (much to Mira's Dismay), so the other players rush there.
The Boonboomgers and Hashiriyans keep playing, though this time the goalposts are swapped for basketball hoops. Right before Taiya scores a goal using a coordinated Hat Trick, Soccer Ball Grumer switches the field again. A woman (identified as Sato Shiho by Bundorio) is walking her dog when suddenly it's replaced by the soccer ball. The players from both side arrive to get the ball back, causing her to emit large amounts of Ghassolin before Soccer Ball Grumer switches the field again, with Shiho getting her dog back, much to her relief. This time, the players appear in a tire shop, with two workers placing tires as the goalposts while other customers run away, emitting Ghassolin as they did. Taiya decides to purchase the whole business as the duo worker immediately agreed in a rather comical way, much to Soccer's disbelief. Right before Taiya score an equalizer, Soccer Ball Grumer switches the field again.
In another field, Bundorio and Byun-D are knocked away trying to block a shot, though they signal to the Boonboomgers that they're okay. Genba and Sakito return to replace them and transform. Taiya transforms the Boonboomgers into Champion Boonboomgers, and Jyo lends his Champion Jacket to Sakito so he could use it. Genba and Sakito use their speed and Champion Customize to catch the ball, and thank Taiya for cooling them up and helping them realize what they're really playing for. Soccer Ball Grumer calls Nejiretta to block them, but while signaling to each other that they'll play soccer together in the future, Genba and Sakito use Bakuage Champion Twin Cam Drive to score another goal, evenly matched the score into 2-2. The BWCFA vice-chairman belatedly returns with sausages (as he eat his portion beforehand), only to learn from the chairman that the Hashiriyans have lost the game. The vice-chairman accidentally steps on his boss' injured foot out of shock over learning that, causing the Chairman to scream in pain.
Spindo angrily reprimand Soccer Ball Grumer to get up, so he helps Super Great Gym Grumer up as Yarucar enlarges both Kurumaju for a gigantic soccer match. Bundorio and Byun-D, having held their injuries somehow by performing Shaolin Poses, transform into Boonboomger Robo 119 and Byunbyum Mach Robo to settle the match. While Soccer shoots several illusory balls at them, Byunbyum Mach Robo promptly shoots all the bullets. Boonboomger Robo 119 then soundly defeats the Soccer Ball Grumer using Bakuage Rescue: Boonboom Finish, turning the Noisy Grumer into a regular, giant sized soccer ball. The duo robo pass the vulnerable Grumer between each other, and Boonboomger Robo 119 kick him right at Super Great Gym Grumer, destroying both Kurumaju and the Goal post, finally winning the match by 2-3 at the Boonboomger fabor. The soccer ball from which Soccer Ball Grumer returns to Spindo's mansion at normal size and tears a hole in the wall, leaving Spindo no choice but begrudgingly accepts their loss.
