Manpuku Aburame (脂目マンプク Aburame Manpuku) was the main antagonist of the Shinkenger Summer Movie, Samurai Sentai Shinkenger the Movie: The Fateful War.
History
He was the leader of the Kusare Gedoshu, a group of powerful Gedoshu that exuded a corpse-like stench that was sealed away three centuries ago by Retsudou Shiba. However, he was revived by Dokoku along with his followers during the summer time. After being slain by the five Shinkengers, his Second Life was activated which they soon killed with Tenku ShinkenOh's Tenkuu Bamboo Slash. However, he survived and his outer layer was pulled back revealing his true form, which consisted of a large, protruding mouth which teared apart the formation. The form also shooted chest beams. Despite this, it was easily countered with the Kyoryu Origami which bitted off the mouth and combines with ShinkenOh to form Kyoryu ShinkenOh's Heaven and Earth Flash. A remnant of his Kusare Gedoshu attempted to take revenge for him in a later Shinkenger episode, but they too were defeated by the powers associated with the Kyoryu Origami. Kyoryuto.
