COUNTERATTACK! DEFEAT SUPER JIKIRO (1x22)

: 27, 1973

One day, unexpectedly, the hands of the clocks began moving backwards, and all the compasses began pointing in the direction of East-Southeast. Then, from that direction, the highly magnetic robotic Terror-Beast Super Jikiro emerged from the bottom of the sea. The monster began to attack a ship, when suddenly Zone Fighter arrived to oppose it. Equipped with anti-Missile Might technology, Super Jikiro proves to be a strong adversary, and Zone Fighter soon finds himself at wits end. While attempting to drive himself to the hospital after the battle, Hikaru has a chance encounter with Junko Wakasugi, an intern at a hospital affiliated with the Space Medicine Research Institute. Junko takes him to surgery to treat his injuries. Following his recovery, Hikaru returns to the beach with Junko in search of fragments from Super Jikiro’s bodywork. After a brief encounter with Garoga agents, Hikaru is able to deliver the metal fragment from Super Jikiro to Yoichiro for examination. Back at the Space Medicine Research Institute, Hikaru prepares to undergo magnetic force opposition tissue transplant surgery. However, two of the doctor’s assistants are actually Garoga agents! Although the Garoga are stopped in time by Hotaru and Akira, the doctor is left with serious injuries. While able to talk Junko through the rest of Hikaru’s surgery, the doctor soon dies from his wounds. Having been entrusted by the doctor with information about the space medicine general meeting to be held in Okinawa, Junko boards a ship destined for the island. On board the ship, Junko is soon taken hostage by the Garoga, along with the ship’s crew. Under the sea, Hikaru pursues Super Jikiro in the Mighty Liner. As the Terror-Beast finally emerges once again, Hikaru transforms into Zone Fighter and protects the ship. Meanwhile, Zone Angel and Zone Junior land on the ship from Smokey and begin to fight off the Garoga and free the hostages. Equipped with the new Double Anti-Missile Might, Zone Fighter soon defeats Super Jikiro once and for all!
