Ep. 20: Science Ninja Team faces mole mecha while Joe recovers from rocket injury

20

A Galactor mole mecha attacks, prompting the Science Ninja Team to assemble. Joe attempts to save a dog after his mother dies in the blast and is struck by a rocket fragment. The mecha assaults the God Phoenix but retreats at dawn due to sunlight weakness. Medical tests reveal the dangerous head injury, ruling out surgery and centrifuge treatment. When the mecha reappears, the team mobilizes but cannot use full God Phoenix powers because the G2 car is delayed. Joe arrives in the G2, allowing the team to board. They are captured by the mecha, but Joe triggers the rockets, destroying the enemy. The resulting shockwave ejects the fragment from Joe’s head, allowing him to survive as Ryu stabilizes the spinning God Phoenix.
