Yokubabanger of the Electric Shock (電撃のヨークババンガー Dengeki no Yōkubabangā) is a Daicaci Alien (ダイケシ星人 Daikeshi Seijin) working for the Universal Annihilation Army Warstar.
History[]
Yokubabanger is one of Great King Mons Drake's top soldiers, sent to Earth to absorb surrounding electricity and use it to commit acts of destruction, taking out the power of an entire area including a hospital where Miku, a girl Moune was supporting, was having surgery. While trying to stop his initial attack, Yokubabanger proves himself to be too powerful for the Goseigers, forcing them to retreat.
Eventually, Moune and Datas realize that the only way to save Miku and to stop the Warstar Insect was to create so much electricity that even if Yokubabanger absorbed most of it, there would still be enough to run the hospital to help finish the surgery. Using the Sparkquake card combined with some dance moves learned for a cheerleading routine to support Miku, Moune creates a massive flow of electricity that not only restores power to the hospital, but is too much for Yokubabanger to absorb all of, overloading him. The Goseigers summon the Landick Brothers to use with the Tiger and Snake Headders in the Landick Bullet attack, defeating Yokubabanger.
After being enlarged, Yokubabanger uses his absorption powers on Gosei Great, causing it to shut down. However Datas' desire to fight unlocks a new Headder: the Hyper Change Headder, which Moune uses to change Datas into Datas Hyper who destroys Youkubabanger with Datas Dynamic Crush.
