Granute Bon (グラニュート・ボン, Guranyūto Bon)[1] is a part-timer working for Stomach Inc..
History[]
Granute Bon presented an Agent with high-spice quality Human Presses as Jiip Stomach and Siita Stomach approached, with Jiip presenting Bon with his cache of Dark Snacks, which accepted and agreed to gather more humans as the Agent stated another part-timer disappeared. Bon consumed one of his Dark Snacks as he left. Heading back to his food truck guise, Granute Bon locked onto another target: Yahiko Sujimoto, who was scolding Shoma about eating proper food instead of just consuming snacks all the time.
The Granute left his truck and cash unattended later in the day as lure for Sujimoto, who resorted to stealing to pay back his boss for raising him. Bon then turned Sujimoto into a Human Press as he smiled at the cash in his hands, which the Granute stated a human's happiness amplifies the spice in a Dark Snack. He was confronted by Shoma, who was told by the Poppingummmy Gochizo assigned to watch Yujimoto of his abduction. Bon attempted to turn Shoma into a Human Press, but he transformed into Kamen Rider Gavv Poppingummy and deflected the Granute's tongue, who then revert into his Granute form after surmising the Kamen Rider was responsible for the disappearance of Granutes Hound and Whiple.
Bon and Gavv engaged in combat with Hanto Karakida and one of Jiip and Siita's Agents as their witnesses. Bon gained the upper hand against Gavv, even when he transformed into Gavv Zakuzakuchips Form. As he drove Gavv into a corner with his spike missiles, Gavv placed his new Punchingummy Gochizo in his Gavv, gaining the Punchingummy Assist and turning the table on the Granute. Gavv offered Bon the choice to forego the Dark Snacks, which he declined, forcing the rider to execute his Punchingummy Punch finisher to destroy Bon. [Soda Punch Is a Guilty Pleasure]
