ZONE FAMILY’S CRITICAL MOMENT! (1x7)

: 14, 1973

The Terror-Beast Dragon King is on a rampage, but just before it can destroy a dam and flood the town, Zone Fighter appears! After a decisive battle, Zone Fighter once again destroys the Terror-Beast. Undeterred, the Gold Garoga puts his latest strategy into effect; disguising Garoga 13 as Hotaru Sakimori! Meanwhile, the Sakimori family have gone away together to the Atagawa Onsen Hotel, where they wait for Hotaru who is still in school. Upon leaving school, Hotaru joins Takeru at a coffee shop for some cake, and when she visits the restroom the Garoga make their switch. Takeru sees the Garoga agents carrying the real Hotaru to a car through the window and goes in pursuit. Arriving at the hotel, the disguised Garoga 13 begins to join in with the family. Leaving the room to make coffee for the family, she poisons the milk. As Hotaru regains consciousness in the Garoga’s warehouse hideout, her captors make her watch the final moments of her family on their monitor. But Garoga No. 13, not truly knowing the family, makes a mistake; Hotaru’s father never drinks coffee with milk. Noticing his daughter doesn’t have any coffee, he offers his drink to her. As Akira questions why his coffee has also been made wrong, the enraged Garoga 13 storms out of the room. Having found Hotaru, Takeru takes on the Garoga agents in an attempt to free her, but is ultimately captured himself. That night, as the disguised Garoga 13 attempts to plant a bomb in the family’s hotel room, she is confronted by Tsukiko, who had been growing increasingly suspicious of her daughter. Revealing her true form, Garoga 13 begins to attack Tsukiko, before Hikaru enters and transforms into Zone Fighter. He throws the Garoga over a cliff, but the giant Terror-Beast Gilmaras emerges from the crater below. Transforming into his giant form, Zone Fighter brings down the monster. Meanwhile in the Garoga hideout, Hotaru and Takeru are able to fire the Zobot to signal for help. Zone Fighter arrives and takes out the Garoga, but Hotaru warns him of the time bomb Garoga 13 left in the hotel room. Rushing back to the hotel, Zone Fighter is able to save the family just before the bomb explodes.
