Kuuga 39. The mystery intensifies.
Kuuga eventually deals with the acid Grongi, able to defeat her with no problem once he got rid of her claw. Driving her to a safe bunker, he kills her easily, leading to a brief sequence where he has to outrun her explosion on the BeatChaser.

There's no rest, though, since he has to quickly move on to handle the bat, who is terrorizing around a forest. Despite stopping him from killing all the policemen in the area, he can't defeat him, surprisingly. Even with Ichijou's aid, he's just too strong.
After hearing a loud roar and proclaiming "Daguva," he runs off deeper in the forest. Godai and Ichijou give chase, and after seeing a large column of lightning, they soon end up coming across the dead body of the bat.

Interesting episode. We learn a little of how Godai was like as a child thanks to the teacher returning, and we see Ichijou not listening to the doctor as he rushes out the hosptial despite his wounds.
Rose meets up with the other Grongi group and tells them to stop underestimating Kuuga (I'm glad they finally got that through their thick skulls...), so I hope this leads to something interesting, too.
