CoE '21 - 10/12/21 (Dotoumusha/Onimaru/Yamimaru)

Career of Evil '21 - BALBAN-ING BENEATH!!!

Dotoumusha

Basis: Lobster & samurai

Appearance: A red-bodied creature wearing red lobster-like armor and helmet with a blue underoutfit and a red demon-like face. After absorbing the Lights of Ginga, it gains larger helmet horned, shoulder spikes and it's left hand turns into a crab claw.

Mission: Search for a spring that will discover the Lights of Ginga

Means: Creates an impenetrable wall to prevent anyone from going in or out of his search site (but weak enough that Earth can destroy everyone or suffocate those trapped inside by sucking away the oxygen); only breakable via a door latch; drill using a spear to find a spring; strength to catch Earth-empowered Sword attacks, swordsmanship; a jar to seal the Lights of Ginga. After partaking in the Lights of Ginga, his sword becomes upgraded and can fire massive blade attacks and a crab claw that can fire fireball and flamethrowers.

Thoughts: I sort of wonder if we had a weakling like Houretsudou in the Four Heavenly Kings to compensate on how powerful someone like Dotoumusha is. In the first half alone, he basically shows the ability to control a barrier that sucks out oxygen to anyone trapped inside (though with that goofy seal that is easy enough to open once you know where it is) as well as powerful swordsmanship; and then is the first being to utilize the Lights of Ginga in the modern age due to Medoumedou's influence leading to him to become powerful enough to crush Gingaman and BullBlack, only ultimately losing because of Ilies' ultiamte scheme! For a two-part MotW, Dotoumusha definitely shows he is one of the most powerful under his master; though my worry is that most of that power ends up being seen because of him being tricked into using the Lights of Ginga in the second half and more or less demonstrating the power...and leading to that stupid "Gingaman will never use a horrible power like that...but then it chooses them and they get a power-up regardless". (not one of my favorite moments) At least we don't get a giant fight with him...but after all we've seen, maybe it would have been a waste.

Onimaru/Yamimaru

Basis: Hammerhead shark & ninja (Onimaru); Great White shark & ninja (Yamimaru)

Appearance: Both sharks have white bodies and are covered in full bodied outfits, red for Onimaru, white for Yamimaru with hand guards with spikes on the end and geta sandles.

Mission: Protect Budoh from Zahab's forces while retrieving the Lights of Ginga from Gingaman.

Means: Shuriken; Confusion Technique to make one see everyone as your enemy. (Onimaru)

Thoughts: You have to give it to Budou in having some of the most loyal of minions; and while these two don't have much in terms of power or skill outside one mind confusion attack basically made to reaffirm Ryouma's connection to Hayate and Gouki, they basically are just more cannon fodder to distract Hikaru and Saya and die to the Beast Armor Shine Gingaman...and annihilated by the upgraded GingaiOh. Not every MotW has to be a winner, I suppose.
