History
Gokaiger
He is an Action Commander who can touch foreheads with another person or thing to assume that other's form. Used by Warz and his generals to put an end to the interference of the space pirates for good, he kidnapped Luka Millfy's old friend Cain and assumedhis form in order to trick the yellow pirate by bribing the Sugormin with Zagin. After luring Luka, he captured her and assumed her form to infiltrate the Gokai Galleon. Joining the Gokaigers during dinner, he later planted explosive charges across the ship while they were asleep. Later, Vannain detonated the charges, seemingly destroying the Gokai Galleon.
Little did Vannain know, the Gokaigers easily discovered that Vannin was an imposter, having observed him eating broccoli while in Luka's form, whereas the real Luka hated broccoli. After deactivating the bombs he planted, they had Fūraimaru use his illusion technique to stage their ship's explosion to deceive him and follow him to Luka just before the Action Commander could shoot her and Cain dead. After his Gormin, are dealt with. Vannain shifts into Gokai Yellow while fighting the real one, and then assumed Gokai Silver's form. The Gokaigers were confused as to which one was which, but Luka had an idea. The Gokaigers changed into the Megarangers, with the real Gokai Silver becoming MegaSilver, leaving Vannain exposed as the fake. He is then blasted by the GokaiGalleon Buster's Red Charge Rising Strike.
Grown by Insarn, Vannain tries to overwhelm GokaiOh and Goujyujin with sneak attacks as a building before being ousted for having a heat signature (something buildings don't have) and is crippled by GoZyuJin, then destroyed by Hurricane GokaiOh.
