## Background

Jabi and Bisco Akaboshi attempt to pass the Gunma border, but as they fail, Bisco uses a king trumped mushroom to launch them over the wall. Near Imihama, they stop for the night. As Jabi's Rust is starting to reach his lungs, he knows he will be dying soon, but Bisco doesn't want to listen. They get attacked by Tirol using her Escargot fighter and Jabi uses his body to protect Bisco, getting himself heavily injured.

Bisco takes Jabi to Imihama and looks for a doctor. While he leaves Milo Nekoyanagi to take care of Jabi, he heads out to distract their pursuers. With the help of Milo, Jabi regains consciousness and tells him that Mushroom Keepers don't spread the Rust and that mushroom consume rust and cant purify it. He also tells him about the legendary Rust Eater mushroom that can consume all rust from man or object. As he gets better and Bisco returns, Jabi states he can't continue with him due to his injuries and suggest Bisco to take Milo, who will synthesize medicine for him. Initially, Bisco refuses, but ends up accepting. Jabi then covers them and distracts the pursuers while Bisco and Milo manage to escape Imihama.

Kurokawa uses Jabi to capture Pawoo and keeps them at Shimabuki Base. Jabi manages to create mushrooms and escape his cell. He then finds Pawoo and frees her, telling her to go, while he stays to temper with some things. He hears fighting noise and as he goes to check it out, he sees Bisco and Milo fighting Kurokawa and knocks out Kurokawa. As they leave the base, Kurokawa's pawns chase them and Jabi remains to fight them, while the injured Bisco and Milo escape. However as Jabi had suffered an injury himself, he gets distracted by the pain and gets captured again.

Kurokawa takes Jabi to Miyagi base, where he shows him that he is boiling rust and explains that due to people getting helhtier from the medicine they offer, they start to earn less money, but he plans on creating more demand. Jabi the figures that Kurokawa intends to create artificial Rust Wind. Kurokawa confirms, revealing he has a Tetsujin, one of the five or six in Japan, who is still functional and have a Rust engine. Kurokawa intends to create condensed Rust bullets and shoot them out with Ganesha Cannon, creating Rust Wind. Kurokawa asks Jabi to join him and give him young Mushroom Keepers as the Mushroom Keepers blood is able to activate the Rush Eater true effects. Jabi refuses, even after Kurokawa threatens to destroy the Mushroom Keepers village. Kurokawa intends to shoot him, but one of his henchmen starts beating Jabi. Kurokawa gives him a knife and tells him to cut Jabi's fingers, so that he can't use a bow anymore, but the henchman frees Jabi and attacks Kurokawa, revealing to be Bisco. Bisco then tells Jabi to destroy the Ganesha Cannon, while he takes care of Kurokawa. Outside, Jabi is attacked by a gorilla, but Pawoo returns and defeats it in a single attack. The two continue to fight more gorillas, meanwhile a short circuit loads up the Ganesha Cannon and Pawoo throws a gorilla to knock it down and prevent it from fighting. Jabi and Pawoo then hear that Kurokawa is dead and Pawoo enters the facility to look for Bisco, but returns with Milo, who explains that Bisco is dead.

When the Tetsujin is revived, Milo decides to go after it, while Jabi and Pawoo remain to unbury Actagawa, who got covered in Rust by the Tetsujin. They later join Milo and help him save some traders. Jabi and Milo then fight the Tetsujin, but get knocked down a cliff by a large attack from the Tetsujin. They survive the fall, but Jabi suffers a leg injury. Milo then treats his wound, while Jabi wonders what was the original purpose of the Tetsujin and what exactly is the Rust. While he isn't sure how the mushrooms and the Rust are connected, he is sure that the mushrooms evolved thanks to it. Milo then leaves Jabi to some traders and heads after the Tetsujin. Jabi later joins Milo, after he meets Tirol and Pawoo on the road, and they continue chasing the Tetsujin. They catch up to it at Imihama, where they see Bisco getting revived and coming out of the Tetsujin and with group efforts, they manage to defeat it.
