History[]
The Bubo Banbara was tasked by Emperor Banba with destroying Tokyo using a special acid called "Banbacteria" that had been developed by several scientists kidnapped by the Neo-Human Empire. One of the scientists that had been kidnapped, Dr. Fujinami, would later escape, taking the Banbacteria with him, and find Goro Watari and the Youth League. He and his daughter went into protection under them, but the Bubo Banbara soon made an attempt to recapture the scientist and retake the Banbacteria. The Bubo Banbara managed to trap Fujinami in a bank vault, but discovered that the Banbacteria cannister he was holding there was a fake. In an effort to get the location of the real cannister out of him, the Bubo Banbara kidnapped his daughter and discovered the Banbacteria had been hidden inside a stuffed animal she was carrying. Before he could use it to destroy Tokyo however, Goro arrived and fought him as Sanagiman before transforming into Inazuman. As Inazuman, Goro undid the damage the Mutant Robot had caused and destroyed Bubo Banbara with his lightning finisher.
