- "Arboreal Leader! Gold Beetle!"
- ―Gold Beetle's roll call[src]
Masato Jin (陣 マサト Jin Masato) is Gold Beetle (ゴールドビートル Gōrudo Bītoru) and leader of the Doubutsu Sentai Go-Busters. He is an alternate Masato Jin, who serves as Beet Buster of the Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.
History[]
Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters Returns vs. Doubutsu Sentai Go-Busters[]
This alternate version of Masato Jin was created by God when Cheeda Nick received a wish as a prize for being the 1,000,000th death this year, after he was killed by Azazel. Nick wished for a world where Messiah did not exist and therefore, the Go-Busters did not lose their parents during the tragic accident 13 years ago, when Messiah tried to enter the human world. As a result, all of the main cast lived relatively peaceful but very different lives.
10 years ago, the alternate version of Kuroki discovered that the Machine Empire Mechalius was gathering strength to take over the human world. To combat this threat, he left the E.M.C. and worked together with Masato Jin to create a new organisation; the Doubutsu Sentai Go-Busters. To prevent Mechalius from discovering this plan, Jin and Kuroki disguised their secret organisation as the E.M.C. College Agricultural High School, with Kuroki acting as its principal and Jin served as the school's groundskeeper. After finding Beet J. Stag at a slum area, he adopted the Buddy Roid and made him his partner, much like the original.
When Mechalius finally made its first move, Takeshi Kuroki chose two teachers and one student to fight as the Doubutsu Sentai Go-Busters. Coincidentally, these people were the alternate versions of Hiromu, Ryuji and Yoko. The three candidates and Beet J. Stag were lead by Masato into every of the Mechalius' battles and finally terminated their leader, Machine Empress Trange Star sometime before the end of the year.
Just as in the original timeline, Azazel appears on New Year's Eve, defeats the Go-Busters' mecha, and kills the whole team. As it happened, everyone died in the same order that year, so God gave Nick another chance at a wish. After an epiphany caused by Beet J. Stag, he wishes for the Doubutsu Sentai Go-Busters to appear in the Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters' world and assist them in the fight against Azazel. The alternate team appear in the original timeline just before Azazel can kill them. By combining their forces, the two sets of Go-Busters are able to defeat Azazel with the Animal Bazooka and the Ichigan Buster Special Buster Mode. He then grows giant; as the Tokumei Sentai's mecha are out of action, the Doubutsu Sentai summons Go-Buster Perfect Animal instead, and finishes Azazel for good with the Go-Buster Miracle Flash, which summons all of the team's robot formations to attack at once.
After the battle, the alternate Jin explained that since Nick's death had been prevented, the timeline of the Doubutsu Sentai Go-Busters would cease to exist, and them along with it, but they are fine with disappearing as long as they saved the world in the process.

Super Animal War[]
Masato Jin in Super Animal War disguised as Masato Jin from Doubutsu Sentai Go-Busters.
Somehow, he reappeared together with Beet J. Stag in the mainstream world. Having watched the Zyuohgers from afar, he claims that he won't recognize them as the "Doubutsu Sentai". 
TV STORY-Super Animal War: Episode 1
He then challenges the Zyuohgers to multiple contests, declaring the winner maintains the right to designate themselves as a "Doubutsu Sentai". TV STORY-Super Animal War: Episode 2 After the Zyuohgers win the challenge, Jin tells them they may call themselves Doubutsu Sentai and then reveals he doesn't care anyway, since he is actually the Masato Jin from a "Tokumei Sentai". When Yamato brings up the fact the real Masato Jin died, Jin tells them he is the Masato Jin from the Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters Returns vs. Doubutsu Sentai Go-Busters movie, which occurs before Jin's actual death. TV STORY-Super Animal War: Episode 3
- However, Super Animal War is not canon to the events of Zyuohger or main Sentai Continuity.
Personality[]
Compared to the original/avatar counterpart, the alternate Masato appeared as a sloppy groundskeeper whom was always notorious for his strong awful scent. However, once he was alerted with the emergency of Mechalius, he would change his outfit into a cowboy dress, minus the bad scent. He also had no sign of lecturing Beet J. Stag for his air-headed antics.

Gold Beetle Ranger Key
The Gold Beetle Ranger Key (ゴールドビートルレンジャーキー Gōrudo Bītoru Renjā Kī) is a Ranger Key released as part of the Ranger Key Set: LOST EDITION. It is unknown if it will appear in a future crossover. Of course as with all Ranger Keys, should it exist, it would be able to transform one, i.e. one of the Gokaigers, into Gold Beetle.
