He goes inside the bank and possesses the guard that was trying to stop him. The construction worker runs out screaming. The possessed guard starts shooting up. He then takes the body of a vendor and the Dairangers try to stop him. The vendor trips and the monster falls out. The Dairanger chase after him but he disappears. They can't find him anywhere. Another bank is being apprehended and has caught the attention of many including Shoji and Ryou. Shouji and Ryou chase the culprit up the stairs of a building. He threatens them with a gun. All the Dairangers reach the roof and the robber, of course, turns out to be the Gorma. They transform to fight him but can't beat him. Shoji and Ryou disagree on how to fight him. The Dairanger try to subdue him to no avail. They want no harm to come to the man. When he cowers in fear, Yufang arrives and fights the man.
