Go To

The Invisible Monster Neronga appears to consume electricity while appearing and disappearing at the same time. STORAGE were sent to deal with the monster. Haruki struggles with Neronga, which absorbs the electric power of Sevenger. STORAGE devises a new strategy to defeat Neronga. Will Haruki and Z be able to capture Neronga?


  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Captain Hebikura. It goes beyond to the point that he manages to beat Haruki every single time without breaking a sweat.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle:
    • Neronga's abuse of invisibility shows that Haruki in Sevenger has no chance at all to retaliate.
    • Hebikura makes short work of Haruki in their sparring barely taking a hit.
  • Don't Think, Feel: Said by Hebikura, word for word, as this is how Haruki and Z used this to sense the highly-elusive Neronga.
  • Foreshadowing:
    • During their sparring session, you may notice Hebikura's hairstyle transition into a familiarly messy one, which serves as a hint to his true identity three episodes later.
    • Yuka went on to dissect Neronga for any of its remains to be studied later on. This becomes important in two episodes later.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: When STORAGE were reviewing the names of the awakened monsters, those appearing names were Depparas in Arctic, Gesura in Brazil, Zambolar in North America, Geel in Siberia, Golza in Mongolia, Majaba in Australia, Bedorun in Africa, and Gigantes in India/West Asia.
  • Rescue Romance: Z saved Yoko in Sevenger from Neronga. It becomes the starting point of her Hero-Worshipper crush in subsequent episodes.
  • Sickening "Crunch!": Z breaking Neronga's horns is accompanied with a unsettling snap.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Genegarg's destruction becomes a wake up call for simultaneous monster awakenings from around the world.
