Kintama (金玉 Kintama?) are the missing testicles of Ken Takakura that were taken and lost by the Turbo Granny.
Appearance[]
The kintama are shiny gold balls estimated to be about 5 centimeters across.
Overview[]
The kintama are made up of the Turbo Granny's spirit energy membrane that gives them its golden color and harbors a powerful life force. This makes the kintama valuable items for yokai to possess since, in theory, they can come back to life if they collect a powerful life force. For humans, the kintama grants them the ability to see spirits and other supernatural occurrences once they make contact with it.
According to the data collected by the Serpo, the kintama also have the capabilities of supplying aliens with great amounts of energy for their advanced technology. This was proven to be true as one of the kintama stolen by the Kur helped to power the warped gate that was used to have the aliens' main force enter Earth.
History[]
Turbo Granny Arc[]
In the midst of her exorcism by the trap set up by Seiko, the Turbo Granny made a last-ditch effort to survive by inconspicuously hiding inside of Okarun's body and taking possession of his kintama. However, she ends up losing them as the train she was on was heading to its next station.
Okarun's kintama were found by Aira Shiratori and Rin Sawaki, resulting in both gaining the ability to see spirits. While the former decided to keep it on her person, the latter made the decision to hand it over to the police as a valuable object.
Acrobatic Silky Arc[]
After one of Okarun's kintama falls on her head at the time of the Turbo Granny's exorcism, Aira Shiratori found herself with the ability to see spirits and mistook the ball as a sign that she had been chosen as the world's savior, with Momo being recognized as her enemy. While in possession of the kintama, Aira used it in a delusional attempt to exorcise Momo after she and her friends ambushed her, much to the latter's shock to see her with the ball. After defeating the yokai stalking Aira, Acrobatic Silky, Momo and Okarun retrieved the kintama from an unconscious Aira.
Serpo Arc[]
With the kintama retrieved from Aira, Momo, Seiko, and the Turbo Granny proceed to place it back to Okarun's crotch through a game of baseball, much to his chagrin but happiness to be partially whole again.
Space Globalists Arc[]
After learning about the power dwelling in Okarun's kintama from the data they stole from the Serpos, the Kur targeted Okarun for the kintama he possessed to supply power to a warp gate that will have their main force enter Earth to initiate their invasion of the planet. Okarun defended himself against the aliens but ended up losing his kintama to them after being defeated. With the kintama acquired, the Kur activated their warped gate to allow a number of their ships to enter the Empty Space erected. Momo and Okarun managed to get passed the Kur to retrieve the kintama and deactivated the warped gate. However, the entire main force managed to slip through the portal before it completely closed and began to destroy the area. Unpleased by this, Reiko Kashima used her mirror ability to eliminate the entire Kur army and made her leave after briefly encountering Momo and Okarun.
