The Demon Fist Falls in the Setting Sun
Airdate: November 19, 1993
A cotpotro guards Jin in a prison within a cave. He seems to be unconscious. | He opens his eyes and strangles the Cotpotro to death. He takes the keys from the Cotpotro. |
Meanwhile, the five Dairanger play baseball in the park. | Ryou thinks back to when Jin took a hit for him in Episode 35. |
Jin struggles for balance as he escapes. | A Cotpotro carries out the dead one. Zaidosu was surprisingly pleased that Jin escaped. |
Ryou goes for a stray baseball and spots a man's foot. | Ryou is even more surprised when he finds out it is Jin. |
Jin awakes in Ryou's room. Jin stands up and challenges Ryou to fight but is still very weak. | Back at the base, the others are surprised by Ryou's actions for taking in a murderer, a Gorma no less. |
Ryou offers Jin food but he refuses, drpping the bowl. Instead of getting mad, Ryou smiles and shrugs it off. | At work, Ryou talked to a co-worker. |
At night, a woman is attacked by an unseen monster. | Later at the train station, Ryou can't find help to move Jin up the stairs with his wheel chair. |
So he carries him on his back. | The monster attacking people at night is revealed to be Garouki, a skeleton-like beast. He attacks a couple. |
He sucks the blood from the lady. He wipes his mouth his hand, staining it with blood. | Jin awakes the next day and Ryou is sleeping on a chair. |
Jin is happy until he spots blood on his hand, that leads to a strange growth on his right arm. Ryou wakes up and Jin hid his arm from him, pulling the covers over him. | Ryou took Jin out into the daylight in a wheelchair. Jin asked Ryou why he was helping him and Ryou admitted he couldn't bear to see him die in such a manner. |
Ryou still believed he was a skilled master and it was a waste. Jin asked Ryou, if he became a monster, to please be the one who killed him. | Ryou was frightened and confused, but Jin told him where to strike, and made him promise. Just then Jin started transforming and ran off. |
Garouki attacks two school girls in broad day light and the other Dairanger fought him. | They transform and turn into flashes and clash each other. They end up in a park area. |
Shouji grabbed Garouki and tossed him over his head. He then hit its right arm with his Darinken. | Garouki retreated and Ryou continued to look for Jin. |
Jin finally found him but noticed he was clutching his arm. | The other four arrive. Shouji noticed the bloody arm--the same spot he hit the monster at. |
They deduced that Jin is Garouki and took their fighting poses. | Jin then strangles Ryou and then threw he down. |
Jin turned back into Garouki. The Dairanger then transformed. | Zaidosu arrived and explained that Jin was now under his control. |
Garouki attacks the Dairanger on Zaidosu's command. They end up in another area. | He remembered what Jin said about hitting his weak point and killing him. |
Ryou knew Jin was not responsible for what was happening to him. | Ryou reluctantly struck at that weak point, but Garouki grabbed his neck. |
He then pushed on Ryou's sword. Zaidosu appeared, making him turn around. | Jin flashed in between both forms. |
Zaidosu blasted at Ryou and him and Jin split apart from the monster. | Ryou helped Jin up. Jin and Ryou decided to fight together against the Cotpotro. |
Ryou transform. Jin then donned his Demon Boxer armor and fought against Zaidosu. | Zaidosu got the better of Jin. |
The five Dairanger hit Garouki with their DaiRods and destroyed him with the Super Chi-Power Bazooka. | They went back to Jin, though bleeding and weakened by the battle, challenged Ryou. |
While the others watched, the two men squared off a final time who perhaps weren't fighting wholeheartedly. Ryou got his fist close to Jin's face, but stopped. | Jin knew they wouldn't fight to the death because Ryou wouldn't go that far. Jin sighed, brushed his arm aside and scolded him gently. |
Ryou would rather he had stayed, but Jin could not and left. | Jin was crossing the desert as the sun set. |
Zaidosu caught up with Jin with a herd of Cotpotro. | He released the majority of them but six stayed with him. |
Jin sent his coin spinning into the sky as usual. | He fought. |
The six Cotpotro shot their guns. | His coin hit the sand alone. |
