The scientists who created the Jetman technology died when the Vyram first attacked. One, Hakase Aizawa, had a daughter (Mika) who has dreams from which she brings scraps of technological blueprints. Ryu is assigned to watch over her and befriends her. It is difficult, for she resents her dreams and the government's need of her. When her father was alive, he was always working. On her birthday he sent some man to bring her a present. It was a music box of sorts. She never saw him that day though she had waited up for him. She broke it and Ryu sets about repairing it.
Maria creates the cockroach-monster. Ryu and Gai are drinking together when the signal comes. The Jet-Striker gets thoroughly glued. Ayachokan introduces the team to this really cool gun that's supposed to be able to shoot around corners, except they were never able to complete it because Aizawa died.
Mika meets her father in her dreams, it's been his ghost trying to finish what he hadn't lived to do. They make peace with each other. Chokan realizes that the scraps of blueprints have to be copied onto transparent paper and when laid over each other form the complete blueprint! The guns are completed and monster defeated.

"Aruku shyoku yoku! Ariningen"
October 18
One might call it, "The beginning of the end". Ayachokan takes our heroes on a vacation to a resort in the mountains. They have a lot of fun until Toran attacks them. He plays his flute and magic-contaminated ants bite people, who begin eating anything organic in sight. Live dogs, fish, etc. Kaori is bitten. The Jetmen wake to the sight of a field of cow-bones out their window. They have to battle hapless victims of Toran's magic, including Kaori. Gai nearly kills Toran, but Ryu protests that Toran is just a child. Enraged, Toran releases his human victims from the magic infecting them, and it forms itself into a soldier ant (bad pun) with a bazooka and fights the jetmachines. They defeat it. Later, the other Vyram appear and mock Toran about his being a child. He screams in fury and runs off to a cave where he performs powerful magic, forcing his body to adulthood and a magical high.

The Jetmen are puzzled by a handsome stranger who first trounces Ryu in hand to hand combat, then out-golfs Gai and lastly out-eats Lyta. Radiege attacks the Jetmen, but the stranger intervenes.

November 8
Toran is bullying Maria and Radieege. Gure flips and coin and wins the toss. It's his turn (a two-headed coin). Gure creates the cat-monster. When it attacks, most of the Jetmen are turned into chess pieces and Gure picks them up. Gai manages to tear away a chunk of Gure's armor, and the robot needs it back. They deal to meet at a gambling casino and play the roulette wheel. Gai broke the chunk into four pieces so he would have four chances to win his friends back. Maria stands at Gure's side. Gure is able to gauge where the ball will wind up, and it looks bad for Gai. Ayachokan comes in and intimidates the Vyram. The last spin of the roulette wheel, and Gai wins! Jet Robo lifted the casino and tilted it. Cheating, yes, but they did win.

"Meirei! Sentai Koutaiseyo"
November 15
Radiege, Maria and Gure are becoming desperate to free themselves of Toranza. Radiege, with the other two to hold him up when he gets exhausted, reaches out telekinetically to an asteroid they saw and drags it down to Earth. The Jetmen are attracted by this activity and come running, but Radiege manages to create his monster first. It looks like a bat-being, with a clear bubble on its chest in which a duplicate of the original meteor is. In battle it drains the Jetmen's power and things are looking bad until a group of people in black outfits show up and blast the creature, chasing it off. These people are cyborgs of some sort. It would seem they were created by a crazy general who intends to have them replace the Jetmen. When the bat creature gets big, he sends them out in the Jet machines to fight it. Their lack of experience tells against them. The real Jetmen use Jet Garuda to rescue the new team. They destroy Radiege's monster. The crazy general is furious. Toranza has been watching all this time and snickering.
