Episode Description:
Paiman attempts to warn the population about the Kuu-samas' but is informed by O.D. that the majority of the population is approving their actions, as they only attack those who act out of accordance with their peers. Hajime then arrives and reveals that the Kuu-samas actually come from people's atmosphere, while Tsubasa confronts Gelsadra about them and has a fall-out with it. Paiman then approaches Gelsadra with intentions of arresting it because of the Kuu-samas, but the population drives it away, turning the public opinion against the Gatchamen as well. The Gatchamen then assemble at their base and conclude that the Kuu-samas are actually originating from mankind's own will instead of Gelsadra's, explaining why those who not agree with the rest of their group is attacked by them. Hajime then attempts to pay a visit to Rui, who did not appear at the meeting, and learns from X that he is under the Kuu-samas' effect, and suggests it to think of him as a friend and help him as one. Meanwhile, Joe and Sugane fights Gelsadra but it proves itself too strong for them to defeat and Sugane ends up severely wounded, while a distraught Tsubasa has an encounter with Hajime, who returns her NOTE and suggests her to pay a visit to her great-grandfather in her home. While Sugane is put under Utsutsu's care, X asks for Rizumu's help in prison, and Rizumu in return contacts Rui, bemoaning his current self. Some time later, the Gatchamen receive another forecast from J.J., and Hajime concludes from it that Gelsadra is in danger, while Rizumu obtains help from one of his associates from VAPE to escape prison, and Tsubasa returns home to visit her family.
