Error

• During the second fight between Momoko and the human form of Dokuro Doggler, Kanako Maeda's (Momoko) stunt double is visible in the wide circling shot, which is cut in with close-ups of Kanako. The biggest telltale sign is the stunt actress having bangs, a hair styling choice never used by Momoko.

Notes

• Viewership: 10.4%
• This is the first time all five Maskman are not in Great Five, with Momoko disabled from her fight with Dokuro Doggler.
