He served his masters, the leaders of Yuumajuu Makuin of the Blob and Kinggon the Bigfoot and helped tem with their plans to conquer the Human World and wipe out humanity.

History[]
Zeibu was released by Makuin to take advantage of the modern media technologies of humanity; taking over a TV station, he uses his bandages to brainwash a popular female broadcaster and uses her to release brainwashing bandages to anyone watching her show, further by taking over all of the channels to maximize output. The plan was to entrap the world and it's inhabitants in his bandages to rot so that the Yuumajuu would finally have an Earth that they wanted.
While securing himself within the studio, the Goseiger use the Landick Brothers to burrow themselves into the studio and to stop him and the Yuumajuu superiors from running their broadcast.
Once outside, Alata convinced Gosei Knight that he is the real problem that needs to be dealt with instead of merely human society, forcing the rebellious Headder to fight and crush Zeibu, using his Gosei abilities to weaken him and destroy him with Knightick Dynamic.
After Buredoran revived Zeibu, Alata convinces Gosei Knight to watch them fight it to prove their own abilities. Summoning Gosei Great, they use Another Seaick Gosei Great and Another Landick Gosei Great to weaken Zeibu's power before finishing him off with Hyper Gosei Great.
Zeibu was later summoned as a phantom illusion by Semattarei of the Brocken Spectre, initially fighting Gosei Great as an illusion but then being given physical form after Buredoran powered him up with the Abare Headder. They thrashed the Goseigers and wee ready to kill them. However, it eventually turned to thier side and gave them the Miracle Headders which allowed them to access Super Goseiger mode which esily took down the monsters and finished off Semattarei and his illusions.
