Shot 1 is so badly cropped MR is missing from the shot; US replaces follow-up posing shot of KRJ with MR, as they often do throughout this battle in a futile attempt to ignore the obvious.

KRJ.

Ultivore drives forth, blasting up a storm at Masked Rider, who dodges as the whole area around him explodes, Ultivore blasting further, causing a building to explode to bits.

Close on Ultivore quickly, then Masked Rider dives out of the way of more explosions and blasts. Another building structure explodes massively, the force of the blast taking Masked Rider down. Ultivore drives forth, no longer firing, as the fires rage around him.

The two close-ups of buildings exploding would later be recycled by Sentai, and thus make their way into Power Rangers.

US replaces follow-up of MR blocking blades with him just cruising along.
