## Biography

While investigating, Naoto discovers men from Biolon are planning to create an underground factory to gather children for food, but are unable to find a location to build it at. He then gets ambushed by a man wearing sun glasses with monstrous claws. The man then orders a group of Masques to fire at Naoto, pushing him back into a closet. Fortunately, Naoto turns into Jiban and fights back against the Masques with his Maximillian Gun. The man then transforms into his true form, a Bionoid named Skunknoid, and unleashes gas from the valve on his chest. Upon hit by the gas, Jiban’s shoulder gets damaged as the gas started produce small explosions around him, making him retreat away. Naoto, back into his human form, collapses on the ground until a boy and his son, Yoshio, find him. Skunknoid, in his human form, and a group of Masques arrive at the house to get Naoto. The father and son hide Naoto, so Skunknoid threatens the father for his whereabouts. Just then, one of the Masques discovers the Father’s sketches of an amusement park. Seeing this as a perfect place for the factory to gather children at, Skunknoid turns his Bionoid form and holds the father hostage at the Biolon headquarters and disguises himself as the father. Later, after recovering, Naoto discovers Yoshio and tries to get him to talk to him, but under fear for his father’s life, Yoshio refuses to say anything. As Naoto is investigating the factory car again, he finds Yoshio and chases him into a warehouse where Skunknoid appears, in his human form, and shoots at Naoto with a machine gun. Skunknoid then attacks Naoto in his true Bionoid Form and uses his Flamethrower Mouth to destroy part of the warehouse and bury Naoto and Yoshio in the debri. Declaring the two dead, Skunknoid, disguised as the father again, reports this to Dr. Giba at Yoshio’s house along with the men working with Biolon and Masha and Karsha. They decide to proceed with factory plan until Jiban arrives, after hearing Yoshio’s story, and reads the Biolon group their rights. He then uses Search Buster to reveal Skunknoid’s true form. The men try to fight back, but Jiban uses Disclose Shock to scare them off. Jiban chases them up to the top floor of the house where Yoshi’s Father is being held at. With the Father’s life threatened, Jiban had no choice but to drop his gun. The Masques proceed to shoot at him, but fortunately, Youko arrives and shoots at them. Skunknoid was about to shoot out his gas again, but Jiban manages to grab his gun and shoots at the Bionoid. After freeing the father, Skunknoid unleashes his gas at them, but Jiban manages to shield Youko and the father. Jiban and Skunknoid then start to fight each other which leads them to the outside of the house. Skunknoid uses his Flamethrower Mouth to overheat Jiban’s systems, so he throws his Maximillian Sword at the Bionoid’s mouth and cools himself down with his cooling device. Once grabbing his sword back, Jiban charges it up and slices Skunknoid across the waist. He then uses Jiban End to slice Skunknoid down the middle, turning him into explosive energy and blowing him up.
