- ―Grande
Grande is an Alien Keel that appears as a secondary antagonist in the series, Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey. He appeared in episodes 6, 7, 10, 12, and 13. Like the portrayal of Alien Keel in Ultra Q, Grande is also known for his warlike attitude, but in the end becomes an anti-hero by the end of the series after helping Rei, his rival.
History[]
Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey[]
Grande was stated to be a Reionics who was strengthened by his older sister (a fellow Reionics like him) at the expense of her own life. His growth of strength was symbolized by his upgraded Neo Battlenizer and he was regarded as the strongest Reionics before Rei's arrival.
ZAP SPACY and Dail briefly encountered an Alien Keel ship while heading to Planet Hammer, presumably belonging to Grande. Dail, knowing it was piloted by a Reionics, demanded they destroy it, but the crew refused and escaped. Great Frenzy! Reionic Burst
Challenging Rei on Planet Hammer, Grande summoned Tyrant and battled Rei's Gomora. Although Grande was slightly impressed by Gomora's power, Tyrant proved to be much stronger and Rei was forced to recall Gomora, forcing Eleking to battle Tyrant instead. This time Grande was disappointed with Eleking's weaker power and had Tyrant sadistically slaughter Eleking by slicing his throat. The Strongest Reionics Rei would have been killed as well but Eleking saved his life by severing their bonds, allowing him to meet Kate and have his Battlenizer upgraded as well. The revived Rei would retaliate after his recuperation by unleashing both Gomora and Litra. Defeating Tyrant the same way Gomora defeated Bemstar, Litra unleashed a Phoenix assault and Tyrant absorbed it, which gave Gomora an opening to use his Ultra Oscillation Wave to obliterate the monster. However Grande survived, revealing that he had severed his bonds with Tyrant seconds before its death and left. The Second Awakening
During the Reionics Hunter's massacre on Reionics, Grande managed to evade a few of them and acquired a Red King to attack their King Joe Black. The New Horizon of War When Grande met Rei for a second time, he challenged Rei by summoning Red King and Rei unleashed Gomora and the two monsters did battle once again. The match was much more brutal and vicious, and while it seemed Red King was about to win, Rei transformed into Reimon and Gomora got an increase in power, pummeling Red King, with Grande suffering the same pain as his monster. Instead of finishing them, Rei decided to spare their lives and face Alien Reiblood himself. Grande's Challenge
Grande decided to repay the incident by assisting his rival in killing Reiblood, who had possessed the Armored Darkness. They took him down after their monsters transformed into EX Gomora and EX Red King. Grande bid Rei farewell, wishing to face him again someday while asking him to introduce his older sister Kate at a later date. Planet Destruction
