Ryusei Ningen Zon

ORDER: “DESTROY THE EARTH WITH COMET K” (1x19)

: 06, 1973

Under attack from Gundarguirus and his energy fading, Zone Fighter collapses to the ground, but the monster soon disappears. Suspecting the monster is hiding in the surrounding mountains, Hikaru goes alone with the Mighty Liner to investigate, but soon finds himself assaulted by the Garoga. Though unsuccessful in their attack, the Garoga announce to Hikaru that he only has 15 hours and 45 minutes left. Hikaru goes to meet Professor Tanzawa and explains the situation to him. He requests that in order to lure out Gundarguirus he be allowed to borrow another case of PS73. Tanzawa agrees to his request, and Hikaru proceeds to drive a truck containing the PS73 to the mountains where the monster is suspected to be hiding. Hotaru and Akira meanwhile take Smokey and meet Hikaru at the destination. As they arrive, they find themselves ambushed by the Garoga, and the three transform into their Zone forms. As Hikaru fights off the Garoga single-handedly, Hotaru and Akira carefully remove the PS73 from the truck. As expected, the monster Gundarguirus is drawn out of hiding, and Zone Fighter changes into his giant form. Still unable to attack due to the explosives inside the monster, Zone Fighter once again challenges the monster to a match; this time a game of ring toss. As Comet K draws ever closer to impact, Zone Fighter finally makes his move when the monster’s back is turned, tearing out the monster’s eyes! With the beast now left helpless, Zone Fighter severs the creature’s arms and head, being careful not to detonate the PS73 within. Flying into space with the monster’s torso, Zone Fighter uses his Proton Beam to detonate the PS73, the resulting explosion enough to force Comet K to radically change its trajectory.
