The Screws

From left to right: Iwanoi, Kikuhime, and Kagamiyama

The Screws (スクリューズ) are a trio of bullies featured in Medarot 2 and its sequels, Medarot R, the Medarot 2 manga, and both anime series. They are made up off:

• The arrogant Kikuhime
• The elite hacker Iwanoi
• The strong and neatness-obsessed Kagamiyama

The Screws love to cause mischief and throw their weight around to indimidate less experienced Medarotters, which frequently makes them come in conflict with Ikki Tenryou. However, they are not against teaming up against a greater menace.

(Samantha/Spyke/Sloan)
An up-to-no-good gang of three from Riverview Junior High School. The Screws’s leader Samantha is a strong-willed girl, who also likes surprisingly feminine things like ballet. As for the boys, Spyke is a wimp and Sloan is very laid back. The Screws are always pitted against Ikki’s gang in some way, but when they all get caught up in a plot hatched by the Rubberobo Gang, the Screws give Ikki and friends a helping hand. During one World Robattle Tournament when no Space Medafighter X is taking part, the Screws take turns to disguise themselves as Space Medafighter X.

• Like most of the characters in Medarot 2, The Screws are named after alcoholic drinks and spirits.
