## Biography

### Transform

During one day, a strange boy with thick glasses was playing with a yo-yo and singing a song to himself. A chef, named Ryo, spots him when he was taking out the trash. When his young friend, Yumi, tries to help him with the trash, a mysterious golden tentacle with a mouth on the tip suddenly ambushes Yumi and drags her into a hole in the woods. Despite Ryo’s attempt to save her, Yumi gets pulled into the hole. The tentacle then rises out of the hole and chases after Ryo throughout the town. Just as it seems that Ryo was able to evade the tentacle, the strange boy appears out of nowhere and the tentacle arrives and wraps itself around Ryo. Just as it seems hopeless for Ryo, a Mythical Chi Beast called RyuseiOh appears and scares off the tentacle with its fire breath, saving Ryo. Ryo is then taken to Master Kaku, who tells him that he would’ve fallen prey to the owner of the golden tentacle, a Gorma Kaijin named Baron String. After Ryo joins with four other people, Daigo, Shou, Kazu, and Rin, to become the Dairanger in order to fight Gorma, they come across the Cotpotros and get chased after until they end up in an alley where the strange boy meets them at. As the strange boy approaches them, he reveals his true form as Baron String. After revealing himself as Baron String, the Gorma Kaijin entangles the five with his String Tentacles and flings them around until he lifts them up and prepares to stab Ryo with his Spike Arm. Ryo manages to dodge the Spike Arm and the five use their Aura Changers to change into their suits and use their power to destroy the tentacles. Once freed, the five reveal themselves as the Dairangers and they fight against the Cotpotros. Once the Cotpotros are defeated, Baron String pulls RyuRanger, Ryo, in to face him. With RyuRanger using his Red Dragon Fist and with Baron String using his Baron Fist, the two start fighting against each other until RyuRanger uses Heavenly Fire Star Lightning Blaze Destruction to attack Baron String with lightning and flame. Once hit by a powerful attack, Baron String unleashes the kids he had previously devoured through the fanged mouth on his tentacle, including Yumi. Not willing to give up, Baron String gets up and takes out an Enlarging Bomb where he the pulls the pin out and slams it to the ground, blowing himself up. However, the explosion from the bomb implodes and Baron String rises up into a giant. Once the Dairangers get the kids to safety, Baron String tries to smash them. In order to fight back, RyuRanger summons RyuseiOh and boards on top of it.

### It’s Ch’i Power !!

Once RyuRanger boards on top of RyuseiOh, they begin fighting against Baron String. After hitting Baron String with RyuseiOh’s fire breath, RyuRanger changes the Mythical Chi Beast into it’s warrior form and the others board inside as well. RyuseiOh fights Baron String off with chops and kicks until the Gorma Kaijin falls down to the ground and closes his eye, seemingly defeated. Just as RyuRanger believes that they won, Baron String’s eye suddenly opens up, revealing it to be a trick, and wraps his Tentacle Arm around RyuseiOh. Baron String sends an Electric Shock through his Tentacle Arm to bring down RyuseiOh, but fortunately, RyuRanger summons the Dragon Rod and uses it to destroy the arm off. Using the Dragon Rod, RyuseiOh gains the upper-hand in the fight and knocks down Baron String. With the Gorma Kaijin down, RyuRanger performs the finishing move, Great Windmill, where RyuseiOh spins the Dragon Rod along with its fist and uses Great Windmill Slice on Baron String, causing him to fall to the ground and blow up.

## Trivia

* When Shinohara was drawing the design for Baron String, he didn’t know where to go with the design. But when he remembers his earlier works, he added a cloak to give it more character.
	+ The addition of the cloak also came from the direction of the project to “go back to the time of Goranger”.
