* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever - Including one square-off between Ryukendo and a giant version of himself.

A {{Toku}} show that aired in 2006. [[NaiveNewcomer Kenji Narukami]] comes to the small town of Akebono, where the city's Power Spot is of great interest to the demonic Jamanga. [[EvilOverlord Dr. Worm]] and an assortment of others send down monsters that defy description in an attempt to gather [[EmotionEater "Minus Energy"]] - the negative feelings from people- to revive the BigBad.
