Though the bear hunter, who just arrived to the scene to hunt down said bear, told Go to stay down, Go refused and decided to have his car ram toward the bear with the Magnum Gating Attack special move. The ram was so powerful that the car that, aside from damaging the car's front bumper and front cowls, managed to sent the bear flying backward, and scares the bear, causing it to run away in retreat.
