Onbu-Obake (オンブオバケ Piggyback Ghost) was a Yokai who served as the central antagonist of Chouriki Sentai Ohranger: Ole vs. Kakuranger.
History[]
A powerful Youkai that managed to escape the Kakurangers' sealing of the Yokai Army Corps by remaining in hiding during the series. Onbu-Obake is allied with Buldont in order to win a contest to defeat the Ohranger before his father. Buldont brought him in for a contest he and his father Emperor Bacchus Wrath are having to see who can kill the Ohrangers first. Buldont upgrades Onbu-Obake with Baranoia technology, having found Onbu-Obake from researching the occult. During his first giant battle, he is able to easily survive all of the attacks that OhRanger mecha throw at him, mostly due to the OhRanger mecha being designed to defeat Machine Beasts and not Yokai since his energy and their energy are the same. As such, he is able to absorb and redirect their own attacks back at them, causing even King Pyramidder Battle Formation's Super Legend Beam to be useless. In a duel with Bara Gear, Bacchus Wrath's chosen monster for the bet, he pilots OhBlocker while Bara Gear pilots Ohranger Robo. Onbu-Obake could enlarge himself to the size of the Robos without the use of lightning. Onbu-Obake's human guise is a clown and his powers include possession and absorption attacks. He also scared Ganmazin away by showing him his spiritual form. The Kakuranger and Ohranger both joined forces in order to defeat both he and Bara Gear. After Buldont and Bacchus make a truce, Onbu-Obake and Bara Gear merge to form Onbu-Gear (オンブハグルマ Onbuhaguruma). He survives OhBlocker's Twin Blocken Crash but becomes dizzy after OhBlocker, OhRanger Robo and Red Puncher toss Tackle Boy around so many times. This leaves OhBlocker open to use Tackle Boy to finally destroy the monsters forever with the Dynamite Tackle attack.
Personality[]
Onbu-Obake was creepy and perverted, with a fetish for young, pretty girls, whom he would abduct to take their souls with a few licks from his extendable tongue.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Durability: Onbu-Obake had pink rubbery skin that meant punches from both Ohranger Robo and Red Punch only made him stumble back from the force without doing any actual damage.
- Inflation: Onbu-Obake's body could inflate itelf to incredible degrees in order to survive massive energy barrages which was seen when she absorbed the Super Legend Beam.
- Crushing: Onbu-Obake's main ability was to become a supremely powerful and weigh heavily on whoever he possessed: latching onto their back, He weighs them down to the point of exhaustion.
- Energy Absorption: Onbu-Obake could absorb any energy from the Ohrangers' and thier mecha into herself which made any attack completely useless against her.
- Energy Redirection: Onbu-Obake could send back this energy (in the form of solid pink lightning) which was strong enough to take down Ohranger Robo with one hit after he absorbed it's finisher.
- Energy Blasts: Onbu-Obake could still fire that solid pink lightning even if he hadn't absorbed any powerful attacks which was strong enough to take down all five Alien Rangers with one blast.
- Energy Cloud: As seen when Gunmazin tried to stop the Onbu-Obake/Bara Gear fight, Onbu-Obake could unleash a blue-red see through spirit like form from himself which was able to scare him back into his tiki form.
- Fusion: Onbu-Obake could fuse with Cog Changer to form Onbu-Gear. Onbu-Obake formed a small line on top of Cog Changer's head but retains her sentience since she could speak at the same time as him.
Abilities[]
- Pilot: Onbu-Obake was shown to be very competent at piloting OhBlocker solo (in spite of it being intended for five people to pilot it) when fighting Bara Gear.
Weaknesses[]
- Kakuranger Energies: Due to his nature as a Yokai, Onbu-Obake was mostly immune to the energies of Super-Power. However, he was not immune to the spiritual energies utilized by the Kakurangers.
Arsenal[]
- Fists: Although Onbu-Obake had no weapons of any sort, he had large pink fists capable of causing serious damage to the Ohrangers and their mecha through his energy blasts.
Behind the Scenes[]

- Onbu-Obake was made into a female in Power Rangers Zeo, most likely due to its' coloring, and theme.
