History
Ruganoga was an evil, planet-ravaging monster that had destroyed several planets in his ruthless path of destruction. While he was destroying an earth-like planet far away in the milky way, Ruganoga noticed that one survivor was escaping his destruction and sadistic followed after her, shortly after destroying her home planet. Ruganoga followed the escapee to Earth for as long as a month until he finally landing on Earth to carry out his destruction. DASH was quick to oppose the monster after deciphering a warning sent by the planet Ruganoga destroyed long ago and assulted the monster, but Ruganoga's armored chest and electric bolts were more than enough to protect the monster from their assults. After Ruganoga endangered a group of children who were trying to evacuate his rampage, Kaito quickly transformed into Ultraman Max and proceeded to save the children and battle with Ruganoga. After first Max had the upperhand in battle against Ruganoga, but the tides quickly turned once Ruganoga used his stinger on Max to absorb his energy. After a brief intervention from DASH, Max was able to find an opening on Ruganoga and ultimately managed to destroy the evil monster with the Max Galaxy.
