This article is about a villain in Ninja Sentai Kakuranger. |
Yama-uba (ヤマウバ ) is Daimaou's younger sister and Daidarabotchi 's older sister, who arrived with Daidarabotchi to help her older brother out with the Kakurangers.
History[]
She briefly disguised herself as an innkeeper to lure the Kakurangers into a trap. After the death of Daidarabotchi, Daimaou powered her up into a stronger/second form, near the finale, using lightning and dark magic. She could use the dark lightning to not only enlarge herself, like the other Yokai, though could also use it to heal herself. Killed by Samuraiman, Super Muteki Shogun and Kakure Daishogun.
Though unseen, Yama-uba's spirit presumably emerged within the Seal Door along with all the other defeated Youkai, after their master Daimaou was finally contained there by the Kakurangers. Reeling that they were now powerless in captivity, the Youkai all vowed that they would one day be reborn and regain their power, cursing humanity. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Sealing!!
