Gavan takes him to Planet Bird for medical aid, where Qom of the Galaxy Federal Police is impressed by his courage. Den returns in Gavan's final episode as Space Sheriff Sharivan, saving Gavan. After Don Horror's defeat, Sharivan is assigned to Earth with his partner Lily to combat the Madou Space Crime Syndicate.

Characters

The Grand Berth serves as Den and Lily's headquarters orbiting Earth, with two modes: Battle Mothership firing the Berth Beam, and the humanoid Battle Birth Formation using the Grand Buster and Plasma Cannon, the latter based on Voicer's Space Cannon blueprints. Den Iga, a 19-year-old from Inner Iga Island, was a part-time forest patroller until fatally wounded by Buffalo Doubler. Saved by Gavan, he trained on Planet Bird to become Sharivan, aiding Gavan against the Makuu before protecting Earth. He transforms with the command 'Sekisha' as the Grand Berth envelops him in Solar Metal particles from solar flares, forming his red Combat Suit. As Sharivan, he wields the Laser Blade for the Sharivan Crash and the Crime Burster handgun, and uses Prism Goggles—rectangular yellow glasses with crystal particles. Lily is his girlfriend from Planet Bird. Motosharian is his motorcycle, able to enter the Phantom Dream World. Sharinger Tank splits into a flying upper half and treaded lower half. Mogriran is a drill-headed vehicle. Captain Gavan is the previous Space Sheriff assigned to Earth. Billy and Helen Bell are Iga warrior siblings trained as Space Sheriffs; after Billy's death, Helen becomes Sharivan's apprentice. The Space Crime Syndicate Madou consists of psychic criminals based in Genmu Castle within the Genmu World dimension, a white hole where black hole matter ends up, aiming to conquer the universe through psionic abilities, space fighters, and the Madou Battleship.
