: 16, 1973

A young boy, Hiroshi, spots a meteor falling to Earth through his telescope. Running off to tell his father, he discovers both his parents held captive by the Garoga. Using a special ESP transceiver, the Garoga are able to control his mind. Taking on the form of the boy’s parents, they order Hiroshi to infiltrate the Zone Family’s home and destroy the Proton Barrier. As the three Sakimori children are driving home, Hiroshi jumps out into the road and is hit by their car. They take Hiroshi and the toy robot he was carrying back to the Sakimori house, where they discover he has lost his memories. Unable to uncover his identity, they allow the boy to stay with them. Hiroshi is awoken in the middle of the night by the Garoga’s ESP transceiver, and his toy robot is activated. Awoken in the night by a strange noise, Hikaru discovers the boy’s robot near the Proton Power. Hikaru manages to capture the robot and throw it out the window moments before it explodes. Hikaru explains the situation to the rest of the family, who had been woken by the blast, and they soon discover Hiroshi is missing from his room. Hotaru runs off to for look the boy, and discovers him unconscious in the middle of the street. The next morning, they discover the transceiver implanted in the boy’s brain and realize he is under the control of the Garoga. Raita speculates that they can follow the signals being sent to the boy to discover the Garoga’s headquarters, and Hikaru and Hotaru soon trace them to back to the home of Professor Teramura. Already waiting for them outside, the two Garoga fuse together to form the giant Terror-Beast Mogranda! Transforming into Zone Fighter, Hikaru begins to battle the monster. As the fight rages, Akira flies Smokey to the Teramura’s house and destroys their home with a bomb. With the destruction of the Garoga’s equipment inside the house, the weakened Mogranda is soon finished off by Zone Fighter. With his memories restored, Hiroshi is reunited with his real parents.
