After learning that Lord Vilius stole the Black Dragon Key from Dromus, she goes rogue before officially redeeming herself after meeting and spending time with Chooki's cousin Kiro.

He and his allies Kutor, Leinad, Senjo, and Tavox joined the Tenkai Knights in Robofusion, granting them the ability to use the Protojet and Airlancer Jet simultaneously. He frequently saves the Tenkai Knights in the Beast World due to them being powerless as humans; while in the Beast World, he changes from brick-looking to a robot, as all Tenkai Knights must be human.

Legendary beasts

Tenkai Dragon (テンカイドラゴン)

A gigantic and powerful dragon serving as the neutral defense system of the planet Quarton. It was once under the possession of Vilius and used to eliminate targets and Corekai armies. However, it was defeated and sealed into several fragments by the Tenkai Knights, with the White Dragon Key or the Black Dragon Key being required to unseal it. The team who commands the dragon depends on which key is used to awaken it, with the Black Key resulting in evil and the White Key resulting in good. When Villus returns, he steals the dragon cubes from the knights to revive it. However, because he did not use the Dragon Keys to revive the dragon, it became unstable and was split by Dromus' attack into five white (good) and black (bad) cubes. The white cubes are absorbed by the Tenkai Knights and Dromus and the black cubes are absorbed by Villus, granting them their Elemental Titan modes. It is later revealed that they can use the dragon cubes they absorbed to each summon a separate dragon, a good dragon for the Tenkai Knights and an evil dragon for Vilius.

Tenkai Wolf

A powerful beast hidden within the Tenkai Fortress, the Tenkai Wolf was summoned after the crest Bravenwolf received from Orangor activated. It granted Bravenwolf a new form and powers and fought alongside him to defeat Villius.
