2nd Kaiju Extermination Arc[]

A race of aliens that are dedicate it to destroy and ransack planets that they found in their way. They attacked Planet Rakka, and the Prince, Beansman, travels to Earth to find powerful chojins to defeat them. Once the Seven Chojin are united, they travel back to PLanet Rakka to fight the Space Bandits.

They found out that, once they defeat them, or if they cut a limb of them, the limb will grow again, and from the separated limb, a new Space Bandit will be born. Crystalman manage to discover their weak spot (a simbol in the shape of a heart), and they manage to defeat them...althought, in a last effort to win, the Space bandits combine into a giant version of a samura, but they are defeated by the Justice Chojin, anyway.
