Biography[]
The Kaenzaru Monster was summoned by Hunter Killer to help Makuu with their plans to tarnish Gavan's reputation on Earth. When Retsu and the others were tricked into getting lured to Mt. Tsurugi for a UFO sight-seeing, the monster and the Makuu soldiers went to attack Kojiro and the kids, which led to Retsu transform into Gavan to rescue them. After escort the kids away for safety, Gavan was stalled long enough as he was fighting against the monster while the Doublemen (who are editor-in-chief and secretary of Space Magazine in disguise) are capturing the children as part of Makuu's plan to frame Gavan for child kidnapping. Later, the monster and the Crushers were forced to retreat by the Hunter Killer.
Realized what Makuu is planning, Retsu went to the dam to rescue the kids but only to be attacked by the Kaenzaru Monster. After Retsu transform into Gavan, he managed to save the children from being held captive and tells Kojiro to take them all to safety. While fighting, the monster attempt to fire a flame breath at Gavan. After reaching into the Makuu Space, Gavan went to fought against both monster and Double Man in one-against-two. After getting punched by a Dimension Bomber, the monster tried to spew a flame at Gavan again but got himself striked by another Dimension Bomber. It was finally destroyed by Gavan's Laser Z Beam.
