Bongan (ボンガン, 2) was the octopus-themed Action Commander sent out by Zangyack to lead the second wave of attack on Earth.
History
He is first seen in the Gigant Horse, entering with Barizorg ready to deploy when Warz Gill demands another Action Commander since the previous one, Shikabanen failed.
As the fleet arrived, he was sent down along with dozens of Sugormin and hundreds of Gormin. Bongan started to open fire on buildings while his Gormin gunned down and attacked civilians with their clubs. At the time of this attack, Captain Marvelous decided to test a young boy who took his Shinken Red Ranger Key. The boy fought off several Gormin but was swiftly defeated by Bongan. The trigger happy Action Commander fired at some vehicles when he and his guard was confronted by the Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. Bongan was curious as to what they wanted, Marvelous just said that they happened to be looking for something. After a battle with the Gormin, they were attacked by a trio of Sugormin that were quickly destroyed via Final Wave.
Bongan turned up and fired at them with his cannon, telling them not to get carried away, warning them he wouldn't go down as easy as the Sugormin. As he fired at them, they changed into the Dekarangers, using their D-Weapons on the incoming shells and then turning their fire on Bongan himself. The frustrated Bongan decided to do something other than shooting and charged at them, but they turned into the Hurricanegers and lashed out at him. As he was down on the pavement, the Gokaigers changed into Sentai Red heroes such as Shinken Red, GaoRed, MagiRed, Gosei Red, and GekiRed. Their combo attack was too much for him and he was defeated. But as the Gokaigers walked off triumphantly, they discovered that Bongan along with the Sugormin trio, were growing via the Gigant Horse. Bongan and the Sugormin started to open fire on the city. The Gokaigers summoned GokaiOh and after a battle, were eventually able to destroy the Sugormin, with Bongan following soon after with the Gokai Star Burst.
