Biography[]
Bankein was the strongest of the elemental pirates brought along by the Descal and was considered by the Three Shoguns to be their "trump card". They called upon him when they made a final attempt to defeat Sazer-X before returning to space. During the confrontation, Bankein initially held the advantage over Sazer-X, as they lacked a water-themed member who could counter his flame abilities. However, at Takuto's suggestion, Sazer-X tried using team attacks on him in order to defeat him. After Kane used the Whale-12 Capsule to create a rainstorm to weaken Bankein, Lio-Sazer finished him off with his Lio-Breaker.
Trivia[]
- Bankein's design was based off of heavy Japanese armor.
