Professor Gill at the end

Kikaida goes after Prof. Gill. The professor makes it to his thrown, says to Kikaida "you will die with me" and throws the self-destruct switch. Immediatly sparks start flying and explosions are heard. Androids run around in a panic. Jiro, Dr. Komyoji, Mitsuko and Masaru escape the Dark headquarters just before a final explosion causes it to sink into the earth. The Dark Destruction Corps has been destroyed!

Dr. Komyoji tells the police he's alive. The police apologise to Jiro. Dr. Komyoji asked if he will continue his robotic research says "no" because robots will just be used for the wrong reasons, and announces that he plans to move to Switzerland.

At their home, the Komyojis pack. Jiro tells the doctor that he is not going with them. The doctor thanks Jiro for everything and apologises for not finishing the conscience circuit. Jiro is content the way he is. Jiro drives away. Masaru hears the sound of Jiro's motorcycle, but Mitsuko says Jiro is upstairs packing.

At the airport, Hanpei joins the Komyoji family to say farewell to his favorite assistant (Masaur), and he has flowers, presumably for Mistuko. Mitsuko worriedly looks for Jiro. When the plane takes off, Jiro is shown on the ground, on his motorcycle, watching it go. Mitsuko can be heard in a disparing cry of, "Jiro..."

Jiro on motorcycle

As Jiro rides his motorcycle the narrator speaks for the last time: "Prof. Gill's Dark Destruction Corps was destroyed by Kikaida. Dr Komyoji was back to normal and started the journey down the road of happiness. Goodbye, Jiro."
