Tanijim (タニジーム Tanijīmu)[1] is a Lava snail-themed Kaijim of the Earth Empire Bug Naraku, equipped with the Snail BNA.
History[]
Desnarak and Kamejim appear and demand Kaguragi hand over God Kabuto. When Kaguragi refused, Kamejim summons Tamejim who begins attacking the farmlands of Tofu. So Kaguragi has to make a deal to meet tomorrow in the east hills for the official handover. Desnarak warns that if he doesn't hand over the God Kabuto, he will destroy Tofu.
Next day in the hills, Kaguragi instead hands Desnarak Tofu’s great treasure: a tomato. Kaguragi is resolved to remove the pests threatening his country’s harvest. He transforms and easily battles the Sanagims. The others arrived to help, especially against Tanijim. As the Kaijim is about to attack more farmland, God Kabuto flies in to protect the crops. Gira learns the fact that it is Kaguragi who was controlling it. No one but him would care to protect the farmlands from destruction.
Kaguragi drives the God Kabuto to attack Gira in the God Kuwagata. They are disappointed to hear Kaguragi was working for Racules. But Kaguragi says he will do whatever it takes to protect his country. Gira says hearing that makes him sick. Working with Racules will only lead to being used and manipulated by him. And a puppet won’t be able to protect anything. Those words hit Kaguragi. But Gira adds that he has taken a liking to the king’s resolution of protecting even the smallest of lives in his country. So Gira would like Kaguragi to join them in the fight against Racules. Gira has Kuwagata hug Kabuto, welcoming him as well and that restores the Kabuto Soul to normal. Gira initiates King-Ohger’s gattai with Kabuto joining the formation for the first time.Kaguragi says he is touched by Gira’s words and all together, they finish off Tanijim.
