Some times later, Hokuto arrives safely at Yumeno Invention Center. Seeking a suspicious man, he attacks the man, who is revealed to be Ryu from earlier. The other three are also make it to Yumeno Invention Center to also fulfill a request about each one's invention. The five are greeted by Kendo Robo, and later Kyutaro Yumeno with his sweet potato-powered train. Dr. Yumeno then takes them to the underground base called Dyna Station. They are explained about Tailed-People Clan Jashinka Empire before being given each one a Dyna Brace. They change into Dynamen (with Hokuto as DynaRed) and take on DyJupiter as ordered by Dr. Yumeno.
At DyJupiter, DynaRed orders DynaBlack to launch Dyna Missiles into the Jashinka base and Gizmosquitos. Later, the Dynamen greet Prince Megiddo and his army. The two sides have a fight.
