Captain Garis temporarily assigns Daiya to five sections on the ship to decide which section he will join permanently. On the first day of the three-day trial, Daiya has a lot of trouble with the tasks of each section, especially when he has to run around Daiku-Maryu running errands for his bosses.

Daiku-Maryu arrives in Darius and goes to a regional city called Paltegona to stock up on food and supplies. Captain Garis orders Rosa to take Daiya and Puria into town with her in order to give them an opportunity to start getting along.

In order to return to Darius, Daiku-Maryu must go through Death Cross Point and mend the subspace in order to prevent the enemy from going to the surface.

Proist comes back to life after her four generals sacrifice their lives for her. She shows up in Daiku-Maryu, and turns into a demon out of jealousy and rage when she sees Daiya with his dad and Lulu with her dad, Garis.

Lulu is devastated over Dick’s death and refuses to command the ship until Rosa makes her come to her senses. Daiya returns to Daiku-Maryu for refueling and have a tearful reunion with his father.

Proist puts Daiya’s dad in a pod inside the Super Maryu Beast, Final Dvorzak. The pod is connected to the beast’s heart with cords, and when Daiya tries to pull it out, some cords break, making his dad feel excruciating pain.

Emperor Darius contacts Lulu and asks her to stop Proist. He asks for a meeting and says he will bring Daiya’s father with him. Lulu thinks that it may be a trap, but decides to meet him anyway.

Daiku-Maryu returns to Darius with a special missile that creates Death Cross Point. They join up with Lee and Vestarnu on Daichi-Maryu and head toward Darius Capital.

Daiku-Maryu heads toward the coast of California looking for the remnants of the Super Maryu.

When Kaikink is fixed, more Steel Beasts attack the cargo ship. Then suddenly, Killjaguar and Daiku-Maryu show up and join the battle. They destroy the Steel Beasts, and Daiya and Puria go back onto Daiku-Maryu.

Daiya and Puria are blown away to the surface on Gaiking’s torso and Superior Stinger. They find themselves on a deserted island but don’t have enough flame in their machines to fly anywhere.

Lee infiltrates Daichi-Maryu and finds a way to undo the brainwash on Vestarnu. He tells Daiya to do the same thing to Noza. Shizuka and Sakon overtake Tenku-Maryu, and now the three Maryus and the three Giants of Flame are under their control.

Daiku-Maryu docks by a beautiful lake, and the crewmembers enjoy a moment of relaxation. There, Daiya compares his friend Naoto and his video games to their battle against Raiking and Vulking.

Daiya learns that for their fight against the Darius Army, they have to go to the other world at the core of the earth, and Captain Garis gives Daiya some time to go say goodbye to his mother.

Garis must be taken to a rebel fort to get treated, but in order to get there, Daiku-Maryu must fly through a dangerous minefield.

Dick intervenes just in time and takes the blade in the shoulder instead of Garis. Lulu gets taken away again by Proist, and Garis and the others return to Daiku-Maryu. There, Sakon, Daimon, and Franklin reveal Garis and Lulu’s secret.

Daiku-Maryu gets attacked by Vestarnu and her Steel Beasts, and Lulu gets kidnapped. To get her back, Proist tells Garis to come alone to the place where he hid Tenku-Maryu.

Concerned about Captain Garis’s odd behavior, Dick and Daiya take off on a surveillance mission and land in a ruined city. There, Dick runs into Proist, and Daiya into Noza.

The Daiku-Maryu idol contest enters the final round in which the candidates become an idol for the deciding popularity vote. They each make a performance that will attract the crew’s attention.

The Daiku-Maryu crewmembers start seeing pink hippos everywhere on the ship. Dr. Franklin informs them that they are hallucinations from Limitation Syndrome, which occurs when people feel stressed out.
