Ep. 69: The Science Ninja Team investigates disappearances in the Ohara desert tombs.

69

Galactor infiltrates Shosken, a region dominated by the Ohara desert, after communications with an investigation team vanish in ancient tombs. The Science Ninja Team disperses among locals to search, where Jinpei encounters a woman mistaking him for her deceased son. He learns of missing villagers near the devil's cemetery and investigates alone, discovering a Galactor base extracting uranium from quicksand. The abducted citizens are forced into labor there. Jinpei alerts Ken and the others, who help corner Katse, but Galactor uses villagers as hostages to force their release. As Galactor attempts to drop the hostages into the quicksand, Ken’s boomerang triggers the base's self-destruct mechanism. Katse and his men escape while the team rescues the hostages. The grieving woman collapses crying, unable to see Jinpei, who later returns to the God Phoenix and weeps on Jun's chest.
