In the Philippine English Dub, the title of the episode changed to "The Treasure of Atlantis".

Synopsis[]

Doctor Man orders the abduction of a boy related to Urashima Taro, in hopes of using his ancestor's memory to find the treasures of the undersea utopia.

Plot[]

At the Neo Empire Base, Monster narrates the story about Taro Urashima while singing and mounting with Zyuoh like a horse to entertain Doctor Man, Mason, Farrah and Farrah Cat and the Beastnoids. Doctor Man had decided to abduct the descendant of Taro Urashima regarding about the evidence of Taro's fairy tale story where he traveled in Utopia (Atlantis in the Philippine English Dub).

Meanwhile, Shirou was buying a red bean paste bread and milk for a snack only to be snatched away by a kid named Jiro Urashima. As the Jiro hides at the slide while taking a bite, Shirou manages to caught him. Jiro mistook Shirou as a bully after he caught him for stealing which he gave him some milk since he had forgotten to steal it. Shirou then gives Jiro some advice that stealing is not right and disrespecting someone's property. Despite Jiro's arrogance and haughty, Shirou scolds him to listen to him that stealing is not right so that he could fetch him back home by riding his motorcycle and explain everything which amuses the kid. While on the way to the Jiro's house, Shiro lectures Jiro not to become a loser as many people are working so hard to get money. Jiro finally introduces himself after Shirou had decided to make friends with him. Suddenly, they were blocked by Monster who attacks Shirou with his axe to knock him out. The mechaclones attempts to kidnap Jiro as Shirou battles them to protect him. Jiro escapes and Monster orders the mechaclones to chase after him only to be fended off by Shirou, allowing him to escape. However, Zyuoh attempts to ambush Shirou, who dodges and quickly transforms into Red1 before his group arrive. Green2 activates the Super Speed on his Bio Turbo after Yellow4 informs him about Red1's presence. While Red1 fends off all the mechaclones, the Bio Turbo rams all the mechaclones and the group reunite with him. Monster orders Zyuoh to attack only to be hit by Red1's Electron Beam to make it drop the boulder onto Monster's foot causing the latter to chase Zyuoh angrily for his mistakes. This is where Red1 explains to his group about Jiro and decided to go to his house which they agreed.

At the Urashima residence, Shirou and the group meet Jiro's mother Hamako Urashima who is known for disciplining her son's mischief which Shirou is asking her where Jiro is. Hamako was disappointed about her son's troublemaking antics. Therefore, Ryuta noticed there was a coral display on their house which Hamako explains to them it was a family heirloom for generations, remembering about her late father who told her about their ancestor Taro. She even tell them that she is one of the descendants which amuses the group and Hikaru states that it was a fairy tale. Outside, Shirou realizes that it was Doctor Man's plan all along by abducting Jiro until Hamako informs them to find her son, unaware that Jiro was there hiding while overhearing his mother's strictness. He kicks the trash can and runs away as Shirou and the group are chasing after him. While chasing Jiro, they were almost rammed by Monster by driving a pick-up truck and the group confront him. They manage to abduct Jiro just by distracting the group. The group dodges the mechaclones' gunshots as it allows the other one to leave with Jiro as the group fights them off. Their fight is actually a distraction long enough for Monster to drive away despite their comical antics to capture Jiro and Hamako had witnessed her son was kidnapped. Zyuoh attacks her with his finger missiles but was block by the group to protect her. Shirou tells Hamako that they will rescue Jiro which she gladly accepts as the group pursues Monster and Zyuoh. At the lab, Mason and Monster tried to check the knowledge within Jiro's mind by using the machine despite his meddling, he ended up knocking unconscious. Mason then tries to put him in a deep sleep while he's unconscious and to show the past memories of the location of the Utopia by looking at the screen monitor and he soon passed it to both Doctor Man and Farrah about what Mason had found just to find the treasure of Utopia within Ryugu's Castle in the depths of the ocean. At the Bio Base, the Bio Team tries to divulge their plans into stopping Doctor Man's plans by checking all the places that Taro had went throughout Japan by using a map. After they succeeded in capturing Jiro and getting the knowledge about getting the treasure in Utopia, Shirou continues to pursue Monster by riding a motorcycle while Jiro was on their grasp. Zyuoh manages to attack Shirou with his finger missiles causing him to knock away and fell down into the ground below. But Shirou survives the ordeal as he continue to pursue Monster as Jiro looked at him in a damage state. Therefore, Shirou dodges most of the shots from the Neo Empire Jets but was hit on the last shot. Shirou still survives the attack and he manages to block Monster's truck on time and was angered on their actions. Jiro realizes that friends do care for one another. Monster forces himself to take JIro hostage which led Zyuoh to fight him only for Shirou to blind him with gravel sands and knocks Monster with a flying kick to rescue Jiro. While defending Jiro, Zyuoh attempts to hit them with finger missiles only to be shot by Yellow4 with her Bio Arrow and accidentally blasts Monster with fire on his face. The Biomen reunites with Shirou as they blocked Monster and Zyuoh while he puts Jiro into safety by hiding on the rocks. Shirou angrily scolds both for picking on little children and transforms into Red1. Monster was forced to summon the mechaclones leading the Biomen to battle them out. Red1 then battles Zyuoh but was overpowered until he made a counterattack against him and fell off the ground. The Biomen later defeats Zyuoh with Bio Big Arrow causing Monster to distract them by throwing his axe and helping Zyuoh to escape comically. Doctor Man soon summons the Turtle Canth to fight the group which makes Red1 to summon the Bio Dragon so that they can enter inside to pilot their respective Bio Jets and fusing to become the Bio Robo. The two robots clash as Turtle Canth is able to morph into its turtle form to attack the robot only to be slashed by the Bio Robo with its Super Maser, causing it to revert back to its humanoid form. The Bio Robo defeats it with Concentration and was exploded.

Jiro later reunites with Shirou and the group after getting down by the Bio Robo and Jiro emotionally cries while hugging at Shirou and he apologizes for stealing his snack and never do it again as well as running away which amuses him. This leads Shirou to tell Jiro about his ancestor Taro who traveled in Utopia and Jiro reveals that he had seen the Ryugu Castle and it was full of treasures. With that, Shirou and the group are playing around with Jiro at the beach.
