## Biography

After failing on finding another legendary sword, Aquamarine blames Fangerk for not having better ingredients for their monsters. Having enough of her criticism, Fangerk decides to create a monster with his best ingredient, a car battery. After placing it on the fountain, Fangerk pours a flask of red liquid over it, causing to smoke and give birth to a new Zabun Kaijin, Octopus Thunder. Promising that Octopus Thunder will defeat Yatsurugi, Fangerk heads out to the surface with him. Once in town, Fangerk gets Octopus Thunder to focus on charging his power from a telephone pole while the Gyojin Soldiers look for the legendary swords. Later, after Takeru hears from a raccoon statue about power failures and numerous thunders, he heads to Mt. Oto to investigate. There, he finds the Gyojin Soldiers and fights them off, transforming into Yatsurugi in the middle of battle. As Yatsurugi continues to investigate, he gets confronted by Octopus Thunder. The two start to fight where Yatsurugi seems to have the upper hand at first until Octopus Thunder uses his Electrical Tentacles to shock Yatsurugi. Octopus Thunder explains that all the electricity he gathered runs through his body and that an average human would get fried if they touch him. Yatsurugi then summons his Phoenix Sword, but Octopus Thunder shoots a blue electrical bolt from his palm at the blade of the Phoenix Sword, shocking Yatsurugi once more. Just then, one of the legendary swords appears in their area. Octopus Thunder gets a Gyojin Soldier to get the Sword while he shoots another Electrical Bolt at Yatsurugi. Afterwards, Mari arrives and wants to help out Takeru. By following a dream she had, Mari places a medallion on her chest and transforms into new hero, Tenjin Kisara. Seeing Kisara is going to be in the way, Octopus Thunder shoots out his Electrical Bolts at her, but she manages to shield herself with a barrier. Octopus Thunder then tries to shock her with his Electrical Tentacles and tries using his Electrical Bolts some more, but Kisara manages to dodge the electrical attacks. Kisara then summons her Tensho Fan and creates a hurricane wind against Octopus Thunder. The wind was so strong that even Octopus Thunder’s Electrical Bolts can’t withstand against it. After being blown away by the wind, Octopus Thunder tries to use his Electrical Bolts again, but finds out that he used up all the electricity he gathered and can no longer use his electrical attacks. With Octopus Thunder now defenseless, Kisara uses Love Slash Hurricane to slash the Zabun Kaijin with gusts of wind, destroying him for good.
