Brian, a robot made at the same time as Biker and Walter of the Tokkei Winspector task force, has been brainwashed by a renegade scientist by the name of Professor Hirosaki. Can the members of Tokkei Winspector beat the brainwashed Brian, or will he destroy all the motorbikes in the world? Only time will tell.

A side story of Akuma Kari.

The hero is a high school student with the very odd name of Yubi Chizuo ('Finger Mapguy'). He lives in a cheap boarding house with a scummy river oozing by in front of it. The locals use the river as a handy place to get rid of their trash. Flies result. In abundance. The infestation gives Yubi Chizuo no end of trouble. One evening, a particularly large specimen buzzes up in front of Chizuo, and addresses him in fluent Japanese. Understandably shocked, our hero swats the six-legged prodigy flat on the spot. Chizuo finds himself haunted by the Ghost of the Talking Fly. And then he realizes that a mysterious black cat has started tailing him everywhere he goes... (Source: Comipress)
