Following an ill-advised attack by the army, the latest Heterodyne has grown to cover central Tokyo, its many strands reaching down into the earth below- and in only a month, it will have become large enough to encompass the entire world!

The pattern of quakes suggests that the worst Heterodyne yet is about to appear, but when it shows up five thousand metres above Shinjuku and does nothing, no one is quite sure what to make of it.

A day with zero probability of a Heterodyne appearance gives the team the perfect opportunity to pursue other interests and tie up a few loose ends.

As if learning that her father was not the hero she always believed him to be wasn't bad enough, Ibuki's will and nerve became completely shattered when she had to fight against a Heterodyne almost identical to the one that killed him.

It is the thirteenth anniversary of the day the Heterodyne first appeared- the day Ibuki's father died.

Trying to fight the Heterodyne that appeared in Hokkaido has proven to be nothing but trouble, and now it looks like the team is in for more of the same.

Against the wishes of both the Army and 21st Century Security, Akagi and the rest of PR Division decide to help those hurt in the Heterodyne attack by flying them to a hospital.

Nishijima may be gone, but 21st Century still has to clean up all the deals and contracts he made, including an agreement to send Dai-Guard to the Sapporo Snow Festival in Hokkaido.

When it comes to fighting the latest Heterodyne, the new Dai-Guard pilots just can't seem to cut it, so much so that their continued failures have earned Dai-Guard the moniker "loser robot"!

The PR Division 2 workers may have been reassigned, but that isn't going to stop them from enjoying one last vacation together- until they discover that their rest stop is also home to a dormant Heterodyne!

PR Division 2 is to be dissolved in favor of a new Dai-Guard Enterprise Unit, complete with new Dai-Guard pilots and Saeki as tactical advisor.

A new year has brought big changes for the company, with Director Nishijima stepping up to take over as company president following his orchestration of Ookouchi's dismissal.

It's Episode 14, and in good anime tradition, that means it's time for a clip show. Chief Oosugi prepares a report on Dai-Guard, including details on all the team and their exploits to date.

With Kokubogar needing serious repairs, Shirota resumes his previous assignment as Dai-Guard's tactical advisor… although not everyone is happy to see him after his earlier betrayal.

The two Heterodyne's that attacked Tokyo have merged into one, with Kokubogar and its main pilot Iizuka trapped inside!

With Akagi in the hospital, Dai-Guard is out of action, and the army is happy to send out Kokubogar to fight Heterodyne in its place.

With Shirota's help, the army has built Kokubogar- a brand new giant robot that they hope will replace Dai-Guard and end the days of civilians saving the world.

Twelve years ago, Japan was attacked by a Heterodyne, a mysterious monster that seemingly appeared out of nowhere. In response, 21st Century Security built a giant robot called Dai-Guard to combat the Heterodyne, but by the time it was ready, the Heterodyne had disappeared again.

Dai-Guard finds itself in trouble when a balloon type Heterodyne shows up.

It's a day free from Heterodynes, but certainly not free from tension.
