Cast

• Daisuke Ban as Jiro
• Mitsuo Andō as Professor Gill

Notes

• While the situation itself is hardly realistic to begin with, one must wonder how Dr. Komyoji recovered so quickly after having his brain implanted back into his body.
  • Furthermore, Mitsuko somehow underwent the surgery in an unsanitized environment, without even shaving off Dr. Komyoji's hair first.
• This episode aired on NET along with Kamen Rider V3 episode 12, Junko Becomes a Mutant's Bride?!.
