## Biography

After the failed attempt to create a big Invasion Gate with Jaguchi Hildon, Carantula decides to send out Rugby Jamen to gather dark energy to create an invasion gate small enough for only one Jamen Beast. As Rugby Jamen is collecting the Dark Energy, Caratantula places a giant Jamen on a Ligany Dark Beast as Rugby Jamen is almost complete with the invasion gate. Fortunately, the Kiramagers were able to stop Rugby Jamen and blow him up with his own weapon. With only a small percent of dark energy needed to open the invasion gate, Carantula uses Rugby Jamen’s old Bechat mask to fill in the needed dark energy based on a darkness insurance contract that was made. With all of the collected Dark Energy, Carantula creates the Invasion Gate and sends Rugger Ligany out. Once Rugger Ligany appears in the city, the sky suddenly turns dark and the Jamen Beast picks up a big gas tank. With Shiguru and Sayo off to do their scheduled activities after beating Rugby Jamen, Juuru, Sena, and Tametomo summon their Mashins and aboard inside to take down the Jamen Beast. Remembering Juuru’s drawing of a giant robot from before, the three Kiramagers combine their Mashins into Ground Mage where they trip Rugger Ligany, causing it to throw the gas tank up in the air. Once Ground Mage is fully formed, they kick the gas tank over a building to have it explode away from the area. Rugger Ligany charges at Ground Mage and pushes the giant robot back, but Juuru uses Kiramai Burning and Ladder Punch on the Jamen Beast and the three continuously beat Rugger Ligany up. After swinging Rugger Ligany by the tail, Juuru uses Ladder Beyond to hit it with Fire’s ladder and sends Sena and Mach down the ladder to repeatedly hit the Jamen Beast. The three then finish Rugger Ligany off with Polisher: Round and Round Smash where they hit the Jamen Beast with Shovellow while the Mashin rotates as they pull themselves toward it with Fire’s ladder, resulting in the Jamen Beast blowing up.

## Trivia

* At first, Matsui added hands to the horn tips on Rugger Ligany’s Jamen, making the design look more like a tackle than a Rugger player.
	+ The hands were removed, however, as Matsui thought it didn’t look like a mask.
* Matsui told K-SuKe, “Let’s think about it properly as a mask”, when working on the design of Rugger Ligany’s Jamen. After trail and error, they manage to find a more suitable design.
