Masumi Inou, there is definitely darkness within you. That is the absolute truth. You cannot run away from darkness. The power of darkness can never be destroyed!
~ Yaiba's final words to Masumi.

Yaiba of Darkness, nicknamed "The Paper Crane Ninja", is the second-in-command of Dark Shadow and one of the two secondary antagonists of GoGo Sentai Boukenger alongside Grand Beast Rei. He is Masumi Inou/BoukenBlack's arch-enemy. He would later betray the organization and become one of the main antagonists of the final arc. He believes that darkness is the superior force in existence and seeks to spread its influence. In combat he wields two katanas that can be combined into a double bladed naginata.

He is voiced by Takaya Kuroda, who later voiced Chirakashizky in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger and Roidmude 5886 in Kamen Rider Drive.

History[]

Past[]

While retrieving an artifact, Yaiba of Darkness came across the excavation group that a young Masumi Inou was a part of it. When the excavation group got in his way, Yaiba used his "1000 Paper Crane Dark Blizzard" attack to massacre all of them save for Masumi. Having been frequently abused and bullied by the other members of the excavation group, Masumi had no problem with using their bodies as human shields to protect himself and as such Yaiba saw darkness within him and decided to let him live in order to allow the darkness to grow.

GoGo Sentai Boukenger[]

Yaiba of Darkness stayed behind-the-scenes when Dark Shadow surfaced as a Negative Syndicate and came into conflict with the Boukengers. He remained in the shadows during Dark Shadow's operation to steal the Blades of the Three Kingdoms and their plan to obtain the Imperial Pearl and create the Bio Panzer tank based off of its blueprints.

Yaiba would soon step into the field however when Dark Shadow was hired to steal the two Nami Uemono dolls from their keeper. After Shizuka of the Wind's plan to disguise herself as a member of SGS to get the dolls was foiled when the Boukengers showed up and recognized her, Yaiba stepped in and revealed himself. Yaiba challenged Masumi to a duel to decide whether the dolls would go to Dark Shadow or the Boukengers, but while the two were fighting Shizuka summoned Kawazugami and made an attempt to steal the dolls herself. Yaiba attempted to tempt Masumi into embracing the power of darkness during their fight, but Masumi resisted and overcame Yaiba. However, although he had lost, Yaiba stole one of the dolls and escaped with Shizuka.

Yaiba and Shizuka were later each sent out to steal the two Pipes of Hamelin. Although Shizuka failed to obtain her pipe, Yaiba succeeded in stealing his, which was all Dark Shadow needed to enact their scheme. Dark Shadow would go on to have Kanadegami play the pipe to lure out children until their plan was stopped by the Boukengers.

Yaiba and Shizuka were later sent to obtain the Hundred Demons Mirror and again came into conflict with the Boukengers. However, when Furious Demon God Gai and Hyouga intervened to steal the mirror, Gekkou of Illusions ordered both him and Shizuka to retreat, deeming the Ashu too dangerous of foes.

After Akutagami inadvertently ate the Fruit of Knowledge and attempted to leave Dark Shadow, Yaiba of Darkness executed him by stabbing him from behind, allowing Gekkou to revive Akutagami as a giant to battle the Boukengers.

When a mysterious girl named Muse announced a powerful Precious to whichever adventurer proved themselves the strongest, Yaiba led Shizuka and a force of revived Tsukogami in challenging both the Gordom Civilization and Jaryuu Clan.

Yaiba served as principal of the Adventurer School that Dark Shadow set up as a front to obtain a sunken precious, while Shirubegami acted as teacher and Shizuka served as his aide. Once they'd taught enough students to be "Excellent Adventurers", Yaiba had Shizuka and Shirubegami lead the students outside to throw them over a cliff into the ocean as sacrifices to obtain the "Ship of the Sky" Precious. However, they were stopped by the Boukengers.

After Dark Shadow stole the God's Head Precious and found a buyer for it, Yaiba took charge of planning the sale. He set up two separate decoy locations to fool the Boukengers, one being an abandoned warehouse where four Karths would pose as the buyers and another being a laboratory where Mamorigami would disguise itself as the Precious, while he conducted the sale at a secret third location. However, Akashi anticipated that there might be a third location and had Makino disguise himself as him to elude Dark Shadow while he covertly pinpointed the third location. Akashi was able to get there and swap places with the buyer before obtaining the God's Head from Yaiba.

Yaiba would later sit back with Gekkou and watch as Shizuka used the Rainbow Cloth to empower herself in an attempt to defeat the Boukengers.

Yaiba and Shizuka were later approached by the Questers, who asked him to retrieve the Philosopher's Herb, a Precious which they said could be used to defeat the Boukengers. The two Dark Shadow members were able to obtain the Precious and brought it to them, only to find that the Questers had also approached the Gordom Civilization and Jaryuu Clan and asked them to obtain artifacts for them as well. The Questers then combined the three Precious each Negative Syndicate had obtained inside the Mercurious Vessel to create the Ultimate Artificial Lifeform Homunculus, which they combined with in Jet Over to form a powerful Quester Robo before laying waste to the Boukengers in it. Yaiba and his fellow Negatives were at first impressed, but after the Questers betrayed them and announced they would be the ones to topple humanity, Yaiba and the other Negatives stopped rooting for them, and the Questers were eventually defeated and killed by the Boukengers.

After New Year's Day came, Yaiba proposed to Gekkou of Illusions that, with the date of the three moons coming, they unseal the Demon Bird and use it to defeat the Boukengers but Yaiba shot the idea down, deeming it to be too dangerous. However, Yaiba disobeyed Gekkou, deeming Dark Shadow to be a hindrance at this point, and slashed open the shrine at Hermit's Gorge to reveal the idol for the Demon Bird, setting the state for the bird's return. Gekkou figured out what Yaiba was trying to do and enlisted Natsuki's help to bring him to the shrine at Hermit's Gorge, but when the two arrived Yaiba captured both of them and tied them to posts in preparation for the Demon Bird's return. Gekkou warned Yaiba tht the Demon Bird had the potential to destroy the world, but Yaiba simply expressed delight at getting to witness such destructive power in person. It was then that Shizuka ran back to Yaiba with the Boukengers chasing her from behind. When Shizuka noticed Gekkou tied up, she attempted to free her master but Yaiba stopped her and revealed his treachery to her. Shizuka furiously attacked Yaiba, but Yaiba easily fought her off and cut her down before leaving her for dead. By that point midnight had come and the Demon Bird was unleashed from within Gekkou. Although the Demon Bird overwhelmed the Boukengers in all of their mecha, they were able to weaken it by repairing the shrine before striking it down and restoring Gekkou to normal. By this point, Yaiba had gone fully rogue, with Gekkou declaring Yaiba a traitor and ordering his execution.

Yaiba of Darkness Ep45

Yaiba observing the Three Headed Dragon of Darkness awakening.

From the shadows, Yaiba watched as both the Boukengers and the Jaryuu Clan fought over the Three Headed Dragon of Darkness. He observed as Masumi, who had remembered his wanting to surpass Akashi, grew in resentment towards his leader after Akashi was able to singlehandedly defeat a Wicked Dragon that he had previously had trouble with. After Masumi obtained the Three Headed Dragon of Darkness, Yaiba swooped in to claim both it and Masumi.

Bringing Masumi away from his friends, Yaiba was able to convince him that giving into his inner darkness would be the only way he could surpass Akashi. After getting Masumi to embrace his inner darkness, Yaiba created a darkness barrier around himself and Masumi, using his darkness in conjunction with the Three Headed Dragon of Darkness to summon a meteor of darkness to crash into Earth and distort the planet into one engulfed in darkness. The other Boukengers attempted to break through the barrier, but were repelled and injured by it. The sight of his friends being hut was enough for Masumi to break free of the darkness-induced trance Yaiba had put him in, but by then it was already too late as the darkness meteor was hurtling towards off. While the Boukengers went to stop the meteor, Masumi fought Yaiba for a final time. Masumi was able to kill Yaiba, but before dying Yaiba proclaimed that Masumi's darkness would always be with him. Although Yaiba was dead, Masumi was so shaken up by the harm his inner darkness had caused his friends that he quit being a Boukenger immediately after.

Super Hero Taisen[]

Yaiba was one of the past villains revived as commanders for Dai-Zangyack. When Dai-Zangyack allied with Dai-Shocker to form the Shocker-Zangyack Alliance, Yaiba took part in the subsequent battle against the Super Sentai and Kamen Riders. He fought Gokai Red and Gokai Pink before going on to battle GingaRed, GingaPink, Heart Queen, and KirinRanger.

Personality[]

Yaiba of Darkness is a cold, calculating and extremely strong ninja and a sinister, ruthless, psychopathic and intelligent mastermind, who handles his missions with a stern sense of professionalism, taking a casual approach to killing and not hesitating to mow down any obstacles that are in his way. He has an almost fanatical embrace of the power of darkness and champions it above all else, seeking to spread it and corrupt others, particularly Masumi, into falling to it. While he works well alongside Gekkou of Illusions and Shizuka of the Wind, he holds no real loyalty to either and is quick to betray them when he views it as most convenient.

Yaiba is also calm, composed, and sophisticated as he doesn't let any situation overwhelm him. He lets them play out and makes use of what he has. He doesn't have any comedic moments and is by far the most depraved of the Boukengers foes by not having even the slightest bit of love. Just of obsession over those who can possesses darkness.

Powers and Abilities[]

  • Power: Yaiba is extremely powerful and is is the most powerful member of the Dark Shadow, surpassing anyone of his comrades and is one of the most powerful villains in Boukenger. He is arguably the third most powerful villain and enemy of Rangers in Boukenger, being surpassed only by Gajah, Ryuuwon and Gai. He possessed multiple magical abilities, which were dark magic themed. Here's the full list of Yaiba's abilities:
  • Monster Creation: Yaiba could create his own monster from random objects with a snap of a finger which conjured up sutras that will engulf the said object and mutate it into one of his creatures. However, sometimes ge didn't need any object to create a monster, like he did in the Episode 47.
  • Monster Enlargement: Yaiba could also enlarge the monster at will by doing a hand gesture (index fingers and thumbs inter-locked) and then thrusting his right hand forth to summon sutras to engulf and enlarge his monster.
  • Darkness Manipulation: As the member of Dark Shadow, Yaiba has the ability to manipulate darkness to his liking.
  • Mind Control: With a point of a finger, Yaiba could cause dark purple clouds to appear on the targets' heads and control them like slaves.
  • Energy Swipe: Kamdor can charge up blue energy around his wrist and swipe at the enemy at full force.
  • Shadow Ninja Art (影忍法 Kage Ninpō): As he is a ninja of the Dark Shadow, Yaiba is capable of using darkness-themed ninjutsu.

  • Super Strength: Out of all the members of the Dark Shadow, Yaiba is the strongest and is capable of fighting and matching all of the Boukengers, and in his later enhanced forms he was even able to outmatch the entire Boukenger team.
  • Skilled Fighter: Being a ninja, Kamdor was a skilled fighter, being able to avoid and block attacks of the Rangers while being able to subdue them. In one of the episodes he alone overwhelmed a small army of Lava Lizards and was able to hold his own against Ryuuwon.
  • Durability: Yaiba took multiple energy slashes and punches from Hyouga and Gai and was able to survive. Even being blasted by the Dual Crusher just sent him flying although it left him extremely weak.
  • Reformation: If destroyed by a normal attack, Yaiba could reassemble himself in a matter of seconds.
  • Lightning Beams: Yaiba can fire blue colored lightning beams from his hands.
  • Finger Blast: Yaiba could fire light blue colored energy blasts from his fingertips.
  • Opening Pose: Yaiba is able to make a pose that would open a small secret door in his base, where he keeps all of his loots, such as the Blue Sapphire.
  • Extraordinary Jumper: Yaiba could jump at incredible heights.
  • Communication: Yaiba was able to communicate with Shizuka when they were on the great distance.
  • Dual Mode: Yaiba can transform into his Dual Mode, which involved splitting open his helmet to reveal his true face and gave him an increase in strength and speed.

Arsenal[]

  • Katana: Yaiba's main weapon is a pair of katana, which can be combined into a naginata.
  • Lightning Blast: Yaiba could cross the blades of his katanas together to fire a blast of light blue or green colored lightning from the point they met.
  • Lightning Beams: Yaiba could also fire two powerful blue and purple lightning beams from either of his katanas without crossing them which took down Ronny during his first battle.
  • Speed Attack: Yaiba could run at high speed and swing his katanas at the enemy with full force. In the episode "The Paper Crane Ninja", this attack was powerful enough to knock the Bouken Red out of his Ranger form with just one slash.
