## Biography

A Bionoid, named Bugnoid, begins Biolon‘s guerrilla poison bug operation by planting eggs of bioengineered insects, called Bio Insects, in the woods to release poison to kill trees. Once they’re hatched, Biolon tries to collect the Bio Insects back to expose them to the sun to have them lay eggs to multiply and grow to destroy the environment as well as the city. However, one of the Bio Insects, a cricket, gets picked up by a little girl, Yuri, and her mother. A pair of Masques manage to locate the cricket and steal it back from Yuri, but this gets Naoto and Youko’s attention and they chase after them. When they manage to catch up to them, Naoto and Youko are suddenly ambushed by Bugnoid. Bugnoid gets the Masques to take the cricket away but then Naoto faces him as Jiban only for the Bionoid to escape shortly after. After hearing how much the cricket meant to Yuri, Jiban manages to locate it in the woods. However, before Jiban could catch it, he gets ambushed again by Bugnoid and a group of Masques with tongue-like tentacles. Bugnoid shoots out bugs from his mouth to kill Jiban but he manages to use his Maximillian Gun on the tentacles to free himself. He then shoots at the Masques and fights Bugnoid until the Bionoid escapes. Jiban takes the cricket to his base where Harry Boy analyzes it and discovers it’s body functions. Once reporting this, a Plant Research Lab works to develop a chemical that will kill all the Bio Insects, which alerts Biolon. Later, by using fake scientist to lure out Biolon, Jiban chases after Mad Garbo where he ends up in Bugnoid’s underground nest, where he gets ensnared by more tentacles. Bugnoid than appears and spits out his venom all over Jiban and all the Bio Insects in the nest attack Jiban. Once the Bionoid wraps his long tongue around Jiban’s neck, Jiban summons Daedalus and sends an electric charge back at Bugnoid, freeing himself. Jiban then gets the venom and insects off him and escapes the nest with Daedalus. Bugnoid arrives outside as well and the two start to fight each other. After a short fight, Jiban charges his Maximillian Sword, jumps up, and performs Jiban Harken Crash on Bugnoid, turning the Bionoid into white energy and breaking his body apart, destroying him. Afterwards, Jiban uses Daedalus Cannon to blow up the nest, killing all the Bio Insects, especially Yuri’s cricket.
