Biography[]
After discovering that Ohranger Robo is 70% repaired from its fight with Bara Builder, Emperor Bacchus Wrath grows worried but Empress Hysteria assures him that they are confident now which makes them vulnerable. After learning that the town of Yumeno has designed and built Kendama Robo, a Giant Robo designed as a one-Ranger mecha like Red Puncher, Hysteria has the Baranoians construct the nearly identical Bara Kendama which they swap out with the real robot in the night. When Yuji tries to pilot it the next morning, it plays along; playing kendama like Yuji intends but traps him and reveals its true self when Goro becomes suspicious of its agility.
Going on a rampage, it destroys the hangar and much of Yumeno before Hysteria reveals herself and the deception and sends the Barlo Soldiers to kill the Ohrangers. After defeating the Barlo Solders, Bara Kendama tries to blast them but they dodge and Goro summons Red Puncher only for it to be overwhelmed and defeated since he will not attack Bara Kendama for risk of hurting Yuji. When the other Ohrangers find the real Kendama Robo dumped in a quarry there, Goro lures Bara Kendama there where the Machine Beast continues overwhelming Red Puncher only to be knocked down by Kendama Robo's ball and restrained by Red Puncher. With Bara Kendama immobilized, Momo and Juri are able to retrieve Yuji; enabling Goro to defeat the creature with dozens of punches and kill the Machine Beast with the Magna Puncher.
