In order to investigate rain of gold coins in Kagiyama district, Shingo serves as an intel. He finds out that the initiator of the phenomenon, Golden Boss is Monster on Gear's plan to create a city of evil. Learning about the plan and the eyeglasses Monster uses to see the invisible Mummy Canth, he disguises as one of the thugs and steals some gold from some thugs. Unknowingly, his actions are imitated by a boy named Makoto, much to the latter's older sister's concern. When Makoto's sister asks Shingo to leave the city, he is attacked by the thugs demanding for the coins stolen earlier. Ultimately, he lets himself beaten in front of Makoto, before two thug-disguising Mechaclones arrest him to Monster/Golden Boss. There, he is beaten by Zyuoh before snatching the filtered eyeglasses from Monster and flee away. The glasess are proven to be useful to detect Mummy Canth and destroy it. After the fight, Shingo is seen wearing a pair of sunglasses, which is revealed to conceal his bruised left eye. TV STORY-Ep. 5: Kill the Unseen Enemy
