History[]
The Joystick Jamen was created by Carantula to take control of people and ruin society as he could fully influence a person's movements. The Joystick Jamen made his first appearance when he used his own ability and remotely control one of the workers. Thankfully the Kiramager showed up and saved the worker when KirameiYellow shoots out the tire. After that he demonstrate his ability when he gains control of Shiguru and has him attack his own teammates. Tametomo tried to shoot at the controller but the shot just bounced them off, so he has Sena to hold down the Joystick Jamen while Juru gives Tametomo a boost as he manage to land some shots in the gaps thus preventing the Joystick Jamen control on the swordsman. After he left the area to get those disk unstuck from his controller-shaped head.
A while later the Joystick Jamen appeared on the roof of the building as he was about to used his new technique on the civilians down below that will allow him gather enough darkness, but the team manages to stop him from doing so. However due Juru's taunting on the Jamen the Remote Control Jamen used his ability and gained control of him causing Juru to attack his teammates.
However this kind of plan that Tametomo has in mind in order to convince his mashin partner that Juru is the team leader is by creating a gemini of Kiramei Yellow as they're battling the Bechats and after that Tametomo will forced the Joystick Jamen against his will as he used him like game controller as he remotely controls Juru to fight off the Bechats.
Once that scheme is initially over the real battle begins. After that the Joystick Jamen is then destroyed when Juru used the Kirameibuster and opens fire on the Jamen.
