Statistics
In terms of specs, Gavan Bootleg boasts performance that surpasses that of a real Gavan[3], and possesses a Bootleg Blade (ブートレグブレード Būtoregu Burēdo?)[1] that can also be used as a whip, and a handgun Bootleg Laser Gun (ブートレグレーザーガン Būtoregu Rēzā Gan?)[1]. He is also possible to generate Makuu Space and Makuu City with Ashurada's voice.
Making full use of that ability, he once captures Gavan in Makuu Space and exerts the fighting power enough to force Gokai Red to release the transformation, but when he rematches with Gavan, he is defeated by Gavan Dynamic, and destroyed.

Notes[]
- Gavan Bootleg is similar to Chinomanako in Kamen Rider Decade: Shinkenger World in that both are villains in a crossover between Super Sentai and another tokusatsu franchise, and both are based on the heroes of the other franchise. Gavan Bootleg is based off Space Sheriff Gavan while Chinomanako becomes a cross between Ayakashi and Kamen Rider Diend.
- Gavan Bootleg is somewhat similar to the V-1 System of Kamen Rider Agito.
- Gavan Bootleg's suit would later be recolored gold for Space Sheriff Estavan.
- 'Bootleg' means 'pirated version'.
- The manga Uchuu Keiji Gavan: A Black Hero suggests his connection with Black Bootleg leaked in the epilogue.
