Synopsis[]

Acha infects a police officer with a parasite from a Machine Beast, which mutates him into a "human Machine Beast" that threatens the populace, including his own son!

Plot[]

At Baranoia's moon base, Bacchus Wrath tries to throw a tantrum about the Ohranger which Buldont states isn't helping things and that the machines should concentrate on destroying Japan first due to being surrounded by oceans and thus a good foothold for Earth's invasion to conquer the world from, complimented by his mother. However, the emperor hits his son in the head claiming he already thought of that and that he will show humanity the terror of Baranoia science. Acha and Kocha are then commanded to begin "Operation: Human Machine Beast" as an unidentified object heads to Earth, picked up immediately by UAOH sensors approaching Tokyo and forcing the Ohranger out. The object is revealed as a new Machine Beast, Bara Crusher, which is soon found by the Ohranger in the field as Shouhei discovers it's footprint tracks as it approaches a nearby city.

The Ohranger follow the tracks until they vanish, forcing them to search on foot in the city until a boy yells at them for parking illegally and tells his father to arrest them! His father, a patrolman, asks Hiroshi his son what's the matter as the boy tells them to arrest him, but the officer tells them to pay attention to the local traffic signs; yet Gorou shows off his UAOH potentials and that they have to park there due to an emergency. But Hiroshi continues to yell at his father to arrest the heroes until they hear a screaming woman saying there's a monster in another building; Hiroshi's father preparing to leap in until Shouhei tells them this is their job and to not enter unless called. Hiroshi continues to yell at the heroes for stealing their work.

The Ohranger enter into the basement of the building as Bara Crusher stalks them unknowingly while making noises alerting them. The team discover a hole in a nearby gas pipe, but the Machine Beast uses the distraction to attack, trying to chomp them down but failing while tossing about gasoline and biting down on a metal box. When the team tries to attack, Bara Crusher gets caught until a fire starts, making it stagger around as the Ohranger transform to keep up with the creature. Hiroshi's father sees the Machine Beast and shoots, but it bites the patrolman's hand, the boy yelling at it to let go until they use their Battle Sticks to hit it and King Smashers to annihilate it! The team rushes to the patrolman as they try to get him to the hospital, while Bacchus Wrath yells at a watching Acha that their Machine Beast is already destroyed and the operation was a failure. However, the butler states the plan is proceeding beautifully at Kocha's insistence.

That night, Hiroshi's father looks at his hurt wrist fearing what happened as Hiroshi worries about how late his mother is out and that he is hungry. However, his father starts convulsing, his face turning metallic as he staggers outside into the night chased by his father before he's confronted by Bara Crusher and captured! Later, Hiroshi's father continues to wander about being seen by a girl at another house, but they're soon attacked by Bara Crusher; the creature attacking one person after another in the night streets as Acha and Kocha confirm the mission a success.

At UAOH headquarters, Momo confirms that intelligence has found that five children were abducted by a Machine Beast-like creature; though Yuji states that Baranoia hasn't sent anything since Bara Crusher was defeated the previous day and nothing was on radar. Suddenly, they notice Hiroshi and attempt to contact his father to find out what happened; the patrolman stating he has no idea what happened to him and that he was taken by a monster similar to the one the Ohranger defeated the previous day. The team wonders if there are two of the same Machine Beast as Miura summons them into his laboratory. Under the Colonel's study, he discovered that Bara Crusher's body had "Metal Amoebas" within; when planted inside an organic lifeform, the amoeba multiply rapidly and convert the life form's tissue into metal! Juri wonders what happens if inside a human, which Miura conforms them into turning into Machine Beasts, making Gorou realize that the officer Otani may be affected by these Metal Amoeba.

Back at Otani's station, another officer asks him if he has any leads about his son, which he states he hasn't, the other officer stating they haven't either. As he lights up a cigarette, Otani convulses as his Metal Beast side emerges, turning him into Bara Crusher and assaulting the officer as Metal Amoebas fly out of it's mouth into the other officer's body! Gorou and Yuji arrive but the Metal Amoeba attacks OhBlue, forcing Gorou to burn it. Juri confirms that another Machine Beast was found near a factory, forcing them to respond.

A the factory, the captured children scream for help while Hiroshi realizes the new Bara Crusher is his father! Acha and Kocha laugh as they state his father is now a full Machine Beast and will never turn back while the captured children will also be turned into Machine Beasts, Hiroshi included, to spread more Metal Amoebas and create more Human Machine Beasts to convert Japan to their will! The new Bara Crusher throws out more Metal Amoebas, but Gorou and the other Ohranger soon arrive to save the children, transforming in the process. Acha sends out the Barlo Soldiers to fight the Ohranger, the team fighting them off within the factory. Gorou confronts Bara Crusher but sees the captured children, capturing him in the process as the Metal Amoeba draw closer. OhRed calls for Officer Otani joined by Hiroshi, making the transformed Bara Crusher draw near his son as Acha yells at him for retaining his human mind and ordering him to defeat the Ohranger instead! Bara Crusher soon listens to the machine's orders and knocks OhRed away while fighting off the entire team, defeating them easily. before zapping them with lightning and causing explosions through the factory. Returning to his son, Bara Crusher frees Otani while Gorou tells Juri and Momo to save the rest of the children and destroy the Metal Amoebas, making Acha and Kocha complain.

Elsewhere, Hiroshi tells his father to save himself, allowing him to turn back from Bara Crusher, the boy stating this isn't his fault and it's all due to the weird thing in his body making him do bad things! Otani becomes fearful hitting himself as the male Ohranger catch up before drawing a gun and putting it to his head, telling the team to run away with his son and that as a police officer he must destroy the creature inside himself! Hiroshi is scared of is father's potential suicide making him cry out to his son before running further in to kill himself, being restrained by Gorou telling him he's going to save him for his son's sake while Hiroshi yells at the monster to leave his father's body! Otani rips the Ohranger away from himself as he convulses, turning back into Bara Crusher! The Machine Beast attacks OhRed and the other Ohranger as it runs amuck, hitting them with barrels and throwing them at the team while fighting back restraint by the team. As the fire continues to rage, the Machine Beast stops motion making Gorou, Shouhei and Yuji push him into the fire until he finally changes back into Officer Otani who breaks free and tries to run off again. Otani convulses in pain until, finally, the Metal Amoeba is spit out of his body, with OhRed killing it with his King Blaster. Hiroshi and Officer Otani embrace as the factory explodes around them, forcing them to clear out before it erupts.

Later, Hiroshi and his father stand by the sea as Momo confirms his father will be alright while father and son hug, Gorou wondering if Baranoia understands humanity and vowing they will destroy the machine invaders.
