The new "Teknoman" turns out to be Balzac, wearing the military's newly developed Tekno-suit. Meanwhile, Balzac's friend Marlow, the scientist responsible for designing the Tekno-suit, is hurt while attempting to transport the suit's Zeetron power source to a safe location. Balzac blames Blade for Marlow's injuries and accuses him of cowardice because Blade delayed his transformation.
