The Anglerfish Nezire appeared in 1997 TV series called Denji Sentai Megaranger. The Anglerfish Nezire is a Nezire Beast that could turn people into stone by firing a beam from the antennae on his head. He was sent to absorb his younger sibling Komutan on Earth (who'd been befriended by Kenta) to reach his full potential and power. With Komutan under his control, he now had the ability to turn things into diamond. Komutan broke free from him (the fruit of Kenta getting through to his indoctrinated friend) and proceeded to attack the Anglerfish Nezire to save Kenta, but the Anglerfish Nezire mortally wounded poor Komutan in response. Komutan died shortly after, angering Kenta as a result (especially when the Anglerfish Nezire started laughing at his little brother's death.) To avenge Komutan, Kenta brought him down with a Riser Chop and Riser Punch combo. Bibidebi arrived and enlarged the Anglerfish Nezire with his gigantification virus, and the Anglerfish Nezire gave trouble to the Megaranger's Galaxy Mega, but the ruthless Nezire had his antenna shot off by Delta Mega. Galaxy Mega and Delta Mega combined to form Super Galaxy Mega, and Kenta gave the command for the Super Galaxy Knuckle attack; the brutal finisher succeeded in ending the powerless monster's life and destroying him.
