## Biography

After Detective K manages to destroy Wakkaman, he checks up with Mr. Date in his yacht. While locked behind a door, Mr. Date is shown Detective K’s ID to show that he’s not there to harm him. Just as Mr. Date is about to open the door, a robotic claw suddenly stretches out of his room’s window and starts choking him to death. Hearing Mr. Date being choked to death, Detective K breaks through the door and finds him dying. Before he dies, Mr. Date points to the window where the claw came out of it and tells Detective K a code; the names of the craters on the moon. Detective K realizes that the code gives the coordinates for the 1 billion yen and was already solved by Wakkaman long ago. Sure enough, Kuroda was able to recover the 1 billion yen. However, he gets contacted by BAD who remind him of the contract he signed with them and that their bill collector is coming to claim half the 1 billion yen. Just then, a robot wearing black clothes and a hat, named Tenagaman, appears. Not willing to split the money, Kuroda rams his car into the BAD Robot and tries to escape. For betraying BAD, Tenagaman chases after Kuroda on his Unicycle Leg. Once catching up, Tenagaman uses one of his Extendable Arms to grab onto Kuroda’s car, stopping it. Kuroda attempts to escape with the money on foot with Tenagaman still after him. Kuroda attempts to shoot at the BAD Robot but the bullets have no effect. Just then, Detectives Shinjo and Shiba arrive and are surprise at Tenagaman’s appearance. Tenagaman focuses his attention on the two detectives, letting Kuroda make his escape, and tries to hit them with his Extendable Arms. Fortunately, Detective K arrives in his Joker and finds Tenagaman cornering Shinjo and Shiba. K realizes that it’s the same robot that killed Mr. Date and heads down to face the BAD Robot in his battle form. The two detectives chase after Kuroda while Detective K faces against Tenagaman, whom recognizes him as the one who defeated Wakkaman. Detective K demands to know what organization Tenagaman works for, but the BAD Robot immediately starts attacking him. Detective K manages to dodge the arms but then Tenagaman unleashes a sound wave from its nozzle that shatters a rock formation above K, burying him in boulders and letting Tenagaman make his escape. Later, Kuroda stays at the Lexington Hotel and plans to leave Japan tomorrow. However, his BAD contract suddenly flies into his room. Realizing that Tenagaman is coming up the windows to get him, Kuroda attempts to make his escape again but is immediately confronted by Detective Shinjo. Holding him at gunpoint, Shinjo is about to walk him out the room until Tenagaman arrives at the room’s window and uses his extendable arm to knock down Shinjo and grab the money. Shinjo arrests Kuroda while Detective K chases after Tenagaman in his Joker. While driving away in his car, Tenagaman contacts BAD for a transport and arrives nearby a lake for a chopper. After Tenagaman gives the pilots the money, the chopper starts to leave until Detective K appears and jumps up toward the chopper, hanging onto it. Tenagaman manages to pull Detective K down with his Extendable arm and declared his mission as BAD’s bill collector completed. However, Detective K reveals that he just placed a time bomb on the chopper, not willing to let anyone who commits crimes to have the money. Much to Tenagaman’s Shock, the time bomb blows up the chopper, disposing the money. Detective K asks where the money was going to be taken to which Tenagaman reveals that it was going to be place in his organization’s vault. Detective K then asks what the organization Tenagaman worked for is, but he still refuses to reveal anything. The two robots then start fighting each other with K changing into his battle form. Tenagaman uses his extendable arm to grab Detective K by the throat and starts swinging him around. Detective K manages to pull the arm off and jumps onto Tenagaman’s shoulders, still questioning about the organization. With K on top of him, Tenagaman speeds on his Unicycle Leg toward his car in an attempt to blow himself up along with Detective K. Fortunately, K manages to jump off Tenagaman before he crashes into the car, where he explodes. With the money and Tenagaman destroyed, Detective K declares the case closed.
