Unidentified Lifeform #24 Defeated
So, I'm number 25?
I'm number twenty-five...
I was waiting for this.
Seventy-six will be dead in six hours.
70 people in six hours should suffice.
A era begins from zero on this empty planet.
Karappo no hoshi jidai wo zero kara hajimeyou

Yusuke Godai! #25 is in Ikebukuro and is currently engaging a squad of policemen.
Moreover, there seem to be many wounded in the area
I'll be there as soon as I clean up the remains of yesterday's battle.
Preparation
Got it!
Ikebukuro, Toshima Ward
Are you all right?
A harsh battle will be happen again today.
The people are petrified with fear of the Unidentified Life Forms.
Transform!
In order to fight the enemy, Yusuke Godai becomes the warrior, Kuuga.
Kuuga...
How did he attain this power? What is he fighting for?
Let us recap the battle so far and find out the answer to this puzzle!
We can't be certain these are humans like us.
The police labeled Kuuga as both #2 and #4.
They believe he is similar to the Unidentified Life Forms and thus consider him a threat.
This is remain top secret!
You're to all continue the investigation on these creatures,
With orders to shoot upon sight!
Chief!
What is it?
#2 and #4 shouldn't be on the list of targets!
Why?
They saved me when I was in danger!
Can you be certain of that?
I can!
Can you prove it?
That...
We have no idea what these things are!
So, everybody, stay on your toes!
HQ says we don't need to worry about bringing them in, just take them out!
Let's do this!
Fire!
But due to his actions they begin to realize that he may be different than the Unidentified Life Forms.
Are you all right, Mr. Detective?
...Getting attacked by that weird thing! And then you went and... changed like that!
Unidentified Life Form #2 & #4.
The true identity of Kuuga.
He is the young adventurer with 20 types of special skills. His name is Yusuke Godai.
He is a young man who tries his hardest because he believes in other people's smiles.
You know, it seems I can fight in that form whenever I want to.
Mr. Detective!
And after finding an ancient belt...
He received the power to become the warrior Kuuga in his fight against the Unidentified Life Forms.
I'm going to fight!
You're still saying that?!
I'm not going to let them...
I'm not gonna let them make anyone else cry!
I want everyone to smile!
So please watch my...
Transformation!
Even though he feels puzzled about having this great power...
He fights a harsh battle against the Unidentified Lifeforms.
The TryChaser 2000. This is the model the latest police bikes were based on.
It's got all of the features that were deemed too costly for mass production.
Yusuke Godai became the fighting ally of Detective Ichijou.
Based on his own judgment, he gave Yusuke access to the TCRS2000.
But nobody in the police department knew that he had done so.
The TryChaser 2000A prototype.
Why does #4 have it?
He is our ally.
And, given the situation, I didn't think there was a better alternative.
Ultimately, given the situation,, your call may have been the correct one...
But if you refuse to provide details on your reasoning...
The police will continue to treat him as an Unidentified Life Form, with orders to shoot on sight.
The senior officers were worried because Kuuga was able to defeat the Unidentified Life Forms one after the other.
There are only a few people that know that Yusuke Godai is the secret identity of Kuuga.
Not all of them even believe him.
Kuuga?
I remember Yoshiko Kuga, though, She has a mole and got married to Akihiko Hirata.
No! Me! I'm talking about me!
You?
Kuuga?
It's a shame that this is the first thing I'm saying to you after all this time, but... don't come in through the window, Godai.
But...
She is a trusted confidant.
She works at the Jounan University Archeology Department. She's expert on ancient languages. Her name is Sakurako Sawatari.
Here, a souvenir from Indonesia. It'll scares off bad spirits!
Another crazy gift from some new adventure.
This is Detective Kaoru Ichijou of the Joint Investigation Task Force.
We extracted this from the asphalt.
This...
After checking it out...
Hikari Enokida of the National Research Institute of Police Science.
Worst case scenario, you'll become something inhuman.
Shuichi Tsubaki of the Kanto Medical University Hospital.
He'll be the same as them. A living weapon who exists only to fight.
What is it?
Well, it's a scrapbook of...
And finally, Yusuke's sister, Minori Godai.
Amazing! You didn't miss a thing.
Is #4 A Bio-Weapon?
#4's Combat Instincts On Display
Many people have come to know Kuuga as Unidentified Life Form #4.
The mystifying attacks of #4 on his own kind
An Intense Battle The Dangerous Exception
Special Scoop! Unidentified Life Form #4's Battle Instincts
They are not aware of the true nature of his existence.
Teacher! Do you think #4 is a good guy?
#4?
It's a bad guy because, it's an Unidentified Life Form!
He's a good guy! The book my mom was reading said so!
It'd be great if he was a good guy and that he stays that way.
In order to protect people's smiles he uses all of his power to do battle with the Unidentified Life Forms.
The warrior with the spirit of water defeats his enemies using long weapons!
Spirit of water?! Long weapons?!
That's it!
Get him!
Ikebukuro, Toshima Ward
If this keeps up, I'm done for!
The more I'm hurt, the stronger I get! I am Me-Gadora-Da!
The Unidentified Life Forms who challenge Kuuga...
Where do they come from? Why do they continue killing people so mercilessly?
Then it indicates that this is the name of the race who wrote this.
Li... N... to.
Linto.
And here we have the race that was slaughtering the Linto...
G... Ro... N... Gi.
Grongi.
These are the beings that we call the Unidentified Life Forms.
They are a race of warriors from long ago that have been awakened from their slumber.
Awaken!
They broke through the seal with their immense power. Now, they are coming to wipe out the human race.
...Near the ruins, they found what appeared to be a large group of graves...
That's probably where they came from.
A large group? How many?
At least...
Two hundred.
What?!
You've fought Kuuga?
That's right. I gave him a real beating.
Up 'til now, there have only been two ways to identify them.
The mysterious language they speak and the distinct tattoos that each of them have.
They each have both a human and a monster form.
Zain...
This is your fault.
What?!
Your stench...
The police discovered that these creatures gathered in a makeshift hideout.
A squad of policemen went to investigate.
Why do they keep killing people so mercilessly?
The only clues are those the creatures have leave behind.
They've left us a good deal of stuff to go through.
They're still being kept for examination.
But most of them appear to be modern devices that we use. The only unusual things are these two...
What is their true goal?
That's about one-hundred and eighty.
One hundred and eighty of them.
180 of them in just two days?
Let me do it!
Enough!
Although we are learning more and more, there are still many questions about these creatures left unanswered.
Rules are rules.
When will I...?
You are out of The Game.
Kuuga...
One of these creatures has been especially difficult to find.
He is the dark figure that disappeared from the Nagano excavation site. Unidentified Life Form #0.
It was he that broke the Grongi seal.
What is the identity of this shadowy figure? We simply don't know.
We're still unsure of what is going to happen.
Ikebukuro, Toshima Ward
Many puzzles are still left to be solved as the Unidentified Life Forms continue their killing spree.
There is only one who can save the human race from their slaughter.
The legendary warrior, Kuuga!
He will fight.
Godai!
Sorry I'm late.
It's okay.
Oh.
I'm sorry too.
I broke the bike.
Broke it?
Yep.
He will keep on fighting for everyone's smiles.
He will transform and become the warrior Kuuga and keep on fighting.
Today and tomorrow.
Believing that one day the battles will end.
I make a pillow out of my heavy luggage.
Omoi nimotsu wo makura ni shitara.
With a deep breath, I become one with the blue sky.
Shinkokyuu... aozora ni naru.
With eyes open or closed
Me wo akete 'te mo tsubutte mo.
I pass over the same scenes but
Onaji keshiki wa sugite yuku kedo
I just noticed something I couldn't miss.
Ima, mite 'nakucha... kizukenai.
Come on, follow me to a future with no more sadness.
Kimi wo tsurete yukou kanashimi no nai mirai made.
The only thing in my pocket is the smile on your face.
Kimi ga kureta egao dake poketto ni shimatte.
I will become the blue sky.
Boku wa... aozora ni naru.
A pleasure working with you.
Likewise.
Split into three groups and get ready to engage #26.
Understood!
Thanks to my power, Kuuga will be dead soon.
Transform!
Kuuga!
Hold on!
Hey! Godai!
