Synopsis

Mushrooms are everywhere. Suddenly, the world was flooded with mushrooms. Meanwhile, Kaito and Juran made their decision and in transforming they've grounded their opposition to Tojitendo's forces immediately. There are three Geartlingers left. In the plaza, a figure was captivated by Kaito's enthusiasm when it came to searching for more members to join his team as he was approached by none other than Kikainoid Gaon! Just as he forgets about the mushrooms, he drives his fangs into the Tojitendo. The fate of these cute and delicious mushrooms can't end like this.

Plot

A Kikainoid named Gaon falling in love with animals in the Human World.

Notes

• As part of Super Hero Time, this episode aired alongside Kamen Rider Saber episode 26, Chapter 26: Deep Darkness, With a Sword.
• Like Juran's winking in the last episode, computer animation was used when Gaon squints his eyes at the rage of Tojitendo's heartless behavior.
