1Who Am I?!
Emperor Zule of Planet Gishin appears in Takeru Myojin's dreams and claims to be his father. Zule reveals that he sent Takeru to Earth as an infant to destroy the planet. Takeru rejects this order and dismisses the vision as a simple nightmare. Later,an assassin from Planet Gishin ambushes Takeru. During the attack, Takeru unleashes supernatural Esper powers to deflect the enemy's assaults. The assassin retaliates by deploying a giant robotic automaton that incapacitates Takeru. A mysterious red humanoid robot named Gaia descends and confronts the enemy. Gaia emits a beam that absorbs Takeru into its body. The robot then destroys the Gishin assassin's machine, saving Takeru's life. Takeru awakens inside Gaia, confused about his own origins and the robot's sudden appearance. The encounter forces Takeru to question whether his dream held a dark truth about his purpose on Earth.

A new enemy robot from Gishin descends to attack. Professor Myojin orders Takeru confined because the young man's death would sever the link with G-R and detonate the explosive charge inside the robot, destroying Earth. The Crasher Squad launches to fight the invader, but the enemy machine overpowers them. Takeru escapes confinement using his esper abilities and takes control of G-R. His brainwaves summon the five other robots—Sphinx, Uranus, Titan, Shin, and Ra—which combine with G-R to form God Mars. The combined robot destroys the Gishin attacker.

14Marg: The Tragic Warrior
Emperor Zule erases Marg's memory and appoints him as a Gishinian Commander. Marg receives orders to kill Takeru,whom the Gishinian forces label a traitor. Marg accepts the assignment without recognizing Takeru as his twin brother. On Earth, Gishinian spies infiltrate the Battle Camp and take Shizuko and Namida hostage. The hostages serve as leverage to pressure the Earth defense forces. Marg transforms from a captive into a weapon aimed at Earth's protector. His erased memories prevent any emotional hesitation as he prepares to attack. Takeru learns of both the hostage situation and the new enemy commander. He must decide how to neutralize the Gishinian assault without harming his brainwashed brother. Takeru moves to confront the Gishinian Commander, unaware that the enemy standing before him is his own brother Marg.
15Episode 15
Marg,having been stationed as a frontline commander for the Gishinian Empire, launches a coordinated assault on Earth's major cities. Takeru Myojin responds by deploying Gaia to intercept the attacking forces. The Gishinian attacks strike multiple urban centers simultaneously, forcing Earth's defense squad to divide their resources. Takeru summons the five auxiliary mecha—Sphinx, Uranus, Titan, Shin, and Ra—to execute the Six God Combination. The combination sequence begins but suddenly fails mid-process. The six individual robots separate instead of merging into the unified God Mars form. This mechanical breakdown prevents Takeru from accessing the combined robot's superior firepower and defensive capabilities. Marg exploits this failure to intensify his bombardment of Earth's cities. Takeru fights back using only Gaia's base capabilities, putting him at a severe tactical disadvantage. The combination mechanism carries a critical vulnerability that Marg's attacks trigger. Takeru must find a way to restore the Six God Combination while defending against Marg's relentless offensive. Marg's personal rivalry with his adopted brother Takeru fuels his determination to crush Earth's defenses. Takeru faces the possibility that his strongest weapon may remain broken as Marg prepares his next wave of attacks.
16Mika - the Puppet!
The moon base comes under attack from Gishin forces. Earth Command dispatches the Crasher Squad to reinforce the base's defenses. Takeru and his team prepare to engage the enemy. Loze,Lieutenant to Marg, infiltrates the moon base during the chaos. Loze possesses the body of Mika, a Crasher Squad member. Using Mika's form, Loze moves through the base without raising suspicion. Loze begins sabotaging critical systems to cripple the base from within. The sabotage threatens to destroy the base's operational capacity. Takeru detects the deception and uncovers the infiltration. Takeru confronts Loze before the sabotage can succeed. The internal threat exposes the vulnerability of trusted allies. The episode closes with Takeru facing Loze inside the compromised base, where the imposter must be stopped before the moon base falls.
17Episode 17
Takeru and Mika learn that Akira has a new girlfriend named Akane. Akira agrees to show Akane around the base at her request. Once inside the base,Akane begins planting bombs in multiple locations. The tour reveals itself as a cover for a sabotage mission. Akane acts as an infiltrator rather than a genuine romantic interest. Her trap places the entire base and its personnel at risk. Takeru and Mika realize too late the true nature of Akira's relationship. The bombs planted by Akane threaten to destroy critical facilities and equipment. Akira faces the immediate consequence of having compromised base security through his trust. The episode ends with the base on the verge of explosions and the team scrambling to contain the damage. Akane's mission shifts from deception to destruction, forcing the characters to counter an internal threat they failed to anticipate.
18The South Pole Will Be Takeru's Grave
Takeru travels to a classified research installation hidden at the South Pole. The installation houses the Warp Catapult project,a device under development by Earth's defense forces. Engineers and scientists at the base explain the Warp Catapult's potential applications to Takeru. While Takeru examines the facility, a distress signal arrives from Battle Camp. Marg, Takeru's brother and a commander of the Gishin forces, leads a direct assault on the camp. The attack places the entire Crasher Squad in immediate danger. Takeru receives orders to return and defend the base. He abandons his inspection of the South Pole installation. Takeru departs the frozen continent without completing his review of the Warp Catapult research. Marg's forces likely targeted Battle Camp to draw Takeru away from the South Pole. Takeru understands the trap but has no choice other than to respond to the attack. He heads back to Battle Camp to engage Marg in combat, leaving the Warp Catapult project unguarded and incomplete.
19Marg Dies On Earth
The Cosmo Crasher attempts to launch via the warp catapult when enemy forces strike. Takeru activates his psychic powers to defend the ship during the enemy assault. Commander Marg personally sorties from the Gishin forces to engage Takeru directly. Takeru demands to know if Marg has surrendered his will entirely to Emperor Zul. Marg responds that he will defeat any rebel opposing the emperor,regardless of personal history. The two brothers clash in a fierce battle, with Takeru reluctantly fighting back. Marg suffers a severe head wound and falls into a crevice during the combat. When Marg regains consciousness, his original memories return and he recognizes Takeru. The brothers share a brief, tearful embrace as their connection is restored. Marg succumbs to his injuries and dies on Earth in Takeru's arms. Takeru mourns his brother's death, carrying the weight of having fought him until the end. The loss hardens Takeru's resolve to confront Emperor Zul directly in the battles ahead.
20Burning for Revenge
Loze seeks revenge for Marg's death and takes Commissioner Otsuka and Shizuko hostage. He issues a direct duel challenge to Takeru to settle the score. Loze holds the two captives as leverage to force Takeru's compliance. Takeru accepts the duel to secure his mother's safety and the Commissioner's release. The hostage situation gives Loze complete control over the encounter's terms. Takeru cannot refuse the challenge without risking both captives' lives. Loze's grief over Marg transforms into a calculated plan to draw Takeru into personal combat. The duel places Takeru in a vulnerable position where any mistake could cost the hostages their freedom or lives. Loze likely chose the battlefield to eliminate any outside interference or support for Takeru. Takeru enters the fight knowing Loze might harm the captives regardless of the duel's outcome. The battle pits Takeru against an enemy driven by loss and willing to exploit emotional weaknesses. The hostages' survival depends entirely on Takeru defeating Loze before the enemy acts on his threats.

Their destination is Planet Marmelo. Gash aims to continue his rebellion against dictator Giron. The Marmelonian Forces loyal to Giron intercept the fleet in space. The enemy ships outnumber and outgun Gash's vessels. The Marmelonian Forces open fire with a barrage of missiles. Gash orders his ships to return fire. The numerical disadvantage prevents the pirates from gaining an advantage. Gash's flagship takes damage to its engines. Takeru monitors the distress signals from Earth. The Crasher Squad prepares for a possible rescue mission. Whether Gash can survive the ambush until reinforcements arrive remains the immediate question.
42Episode 42
Gash resolves to defeat Gyron,the ruler of Planet Marmelo, and rejects assistance from the Crasher Squad. Gyron captures Shikeel, the spiritual leader who has joined the rebel side. Gyron schedules Shikeel's execution specifically to draw Gash into a confrontation. The execution serves as bait to force Gash into a disadvantageous battle. Shikeel's removal from the rebel alliance weakens their position against Gyron's forces. Gash's refusal of the Crasher Squad leaves him without reinforcements for the impending fight. Gyron's tactic exploits Gash's pride and his reluctance to rely on others. The captured leader awaits death while Gash approaches the trap alone. The Crasher Squad remains on standby, unable to intervene without Gash's acceptance. Gyron's plan hinges on Gash arriving at the execution site without support. The episode ends with the execution about to commence, forcing Gash to move directly into enemy territory. The next conflict centers on whether Gash can rescue Shikeel before Gyron kills him, all while fighting without the Crasher Squad's firepower.
43Episode 43
Gash refuses all offers of assistance from the Crasher Squad in his campaign against Gyron,the ruler of Planet Marmelo. His refusal leaves him isolated and reliant only on his own resources. Gyron captures Shikeel, the spiritual leader of Planet Marmelo who openly sides with the rebel faction. Gyron announces a public execution for Shikeel to lure Gash into a direct confrontation. The execution location becomes a killing ground prepared with Gyron's forces. Gash recognizes the trap but continues his advance toward the site without altering his plan. The Crasher Squad remains on standby, unable to intervene unless Gash changes his decision. Shikeel's capture removes the rebels' central figure of unity and guidance. Gyron calculates that killing Shikeel will demoralize the rebellion and eliminate Gash simultaneously. The episode shows Gash moving through hostile territory, each step bringing him closer to Gyron's prepared forces. Gyron waits at the execution site with his elite guards and the captive Shikeel. The episode ends with Gash entering the perimeter of the execution ground as Gyron gives the order to begin the execution. The immediate hook is whether Gash can reach Shikeel before Gyron's forces stop him.
44Rest in peace, Gash
45God Mars Is in Danger!
Gyron orders the deployment of the Magnetic Cannon to destroy God Mars. Kiel,the cannon's inventor, adamantly opposes its use. Kiel warns that firing the weapon will greatly alter Planet Marmelo's geomagnetic field. Gyron ignores Kiel's objections and proceeds with the attack plan. The Magnetic Cannon targets God Mars with overwhelming force. Takeru pilots God Mars into a direct confrontation with the new weapon. The cannon's destructive capability puts the robot at severe risk. Kiel faces a conflict between his loyalty to Gyron and his responsibility for the planet's environmental stability. Gyron prioritizes eliminating God Mars over preserving Marmelo's natural balance. The episode raises the stakes by threatening both the hero robot and the planetary ecosystem. God Mars struggles against an enemy that cares nothing for collateral damage. The episode closes with the Magnetic Cannon charging to fire and God Mars caught directly in its sights.
46Episode 46
Takeru recognizes that the God Mars combination system is about to fail. He decides to assault the Marmelonian base using the six robots separately instead of forming the combined robot. The Marmelonian forces deploy their Magnetic Cannon against the attacking robots. The cannon successfully strikes Takeru's forces and defeats him once again. Gaia's superior speed prevents the Marmelonian forces from maintaining their tactical advantage. The enemy cannot track or target Gaia effectively despite the cannon's power. Takeru's decision to fight without the full combination leaves his forces vulnerable. The Magnetic Cannon's repeated use forces Takeru to rely on evasive maneuvers rather than direct attacks. The episode ends with the Marmelonian base still intact and Takeru's assault stalled. The failure of the God Mars combination system pushes Takeru toward a more desperate strategy as the enemy prepares its next move.
47Episode 47
48危機迫るマルメロ星！
Planet Marmelo approaches its final collapse. As the planet deteriorates,the previously barren desert planet known as the dead star experiences a sudden revival of green vegetation. The Cosmo Crasher team organizes an evacuation of Marmelo's population to this newly habitable dead star. They send a request to Earth for additional spaceships to transport the residents. Leader Gyron seizes this moment of vulnerability to advance his own agenda. He assembles his fleet and sets course to launch an attack on Earth. While preparing the assault, a strange and suspicious voice begins to echo inside Gyron's mind. The voice's origin and intentions remain unclear, but it disturbs Gyron's focus. The Cosmo Crashers face two simultaneous threats: the urgent evacuation of Marmelo and the impending invasion from Gyron's forces. Failure to secure enough ships could leave Marmelo's people stranded on a dying world, while Gyron's attack threatens Earth directly. The mysterious voice manipulating Gyron adds an unpredictable variable to the coming confrontation.

The sandstorm threatens to disrupt global weather patterns and suffocate large regions of Earth. Takeru must divide his attention between his internal struggle for peace and the external catastrophe. His inability to find inner calm weakens his effectiveness as a pilot and squad leader. The Crasher Squad struggles to counter the sandstorm without Takeru's full strategic input.

Zule's Devil Rings curse drains Takeru's life force each time he uses his Esper powers. The repeated battles against Gishin's forces have accelerated this process. Takeru's remaining lifespan has become critically short. The squad understands why Takeru pushed himself so relentlessly in previous missions. His urgency to defeat Zule before his own death now makes sense to them. The revelation leaves the Crasher Squad shaken and uncertain about how to proceed.
