"The Earth's Warrior" (死闘 (しとう)大地 (だいち)戦士 (せんし),   Shitō Daichi no Senshi, lit. "Death Battle! Earth Warrior") is the fourth episode of The Gransazers. Directed by Kenji Suzuki and written by Hiroshi Ishii, it aired on October 25, 2003.

Plot

At Professor Horiguchi's lab, he, Mika and Ken watched a news report about a forest fire purportedly caused by lightning, but which had in fact been brought about by Tenma and Akira's battle in the Ultra Star Gods. Horiguchi received a phone call from Misonogi, who asked about the whereabouts of Garuda and informed him that his investigation into the Wind Tribe members had yet to turn up fruitful. Elsewhere, as Tenma was riding his motorcycle, an unfamiliar yellow Gransazer, Sazer Tawlon, jumped out in front of him. Tawlon challenged Kudo to a duel to determine who was stronger, and led him to a secluded area before launching his attack. Kudo transformed into Sazer Tarious, but was easily bested. A battered Tenma barged into Horiguchi's lab, telling the professor of the Sazer as Mika tended to his wounds.

At Dr. Akira Dentsuin's hospital, a man identified by one of the nurses as the fighter Naoto Matsuzaka approached Dentsuin in the halls. Matsuzaka revealed himself as Tawlon and challenged Dentsuin to battle; Dentsuin transformed on the rooftop and jumped down to a field, discreetly calling for backup from Ryoko and Jin on his way down. After some grappling, Remls summoned his Iron Gale and fired a blast at Tawlon, but it had no effect. Tawlon responded by summoning Bull Cannons to his shoulders, but was interrupted by Velsou, Dail, and Karin. Karin told Tawlon that they were his allies, as the Gransazers have a common goal. Tawlon questioned why the Wind Tribe were fighting with the Fire Tribe, to which Karin replied that the Fire Warriors did not understand their mission and must be eliminated.

Meanwhile, Kudo sparred with Mika in a dojo in an attempt to become stronger. Karin brought Akira to her lab, where she showed him a purple crystalline tablet and encouraged him to place his hand on it. Doing so showed him a hologram recorded by Earth's ancient civilization, which Karin used to explain to him his role as a Gransazer, as well as mislead him into believing that ancient humanity was destroyed by their own kind. She then showed him the Ultra Star God Dorcrus parked in a hangar, and encouraged him to use his powers to destroy the Fire Tribe, as they would once again bring about Earth's destruction. Later, Kudo pulled in to his job at Jet Express, where his coworkers excitedly informed him that the world-famous Naoto Matsuzaka was awaiting him. Matsuzaka informed Kudo that he was the Sazer who attacked him, and asked to speak with him more outside. While taking a walk, Matsuzaka explained to Kudo that he had observed the fight between the Ultra Star Gods, and while doing so was struck by a beam of light from the sky that transformed him into Sazer Tawlon. He continued that, had he known of the Gransazers' mission during his duel with Tarious, he wouldn't have let him live, accusing the Fire Tribe of abusing their powers. The two transformed into their Sazer forms and fought once again, but this time Kudo was prepared from his training with Mika. The warriors gradually made their way to a valley where Karin was waiting for them. Suddenly, Sazer Remls appeared in Dorcrus and fired upon Tarious and Tawlon. A direct blast to Tawlon reverted him to his human form, and they were buried under rubble as Tarious attempted to shield him. Believing the men to be dead, Remls withdrew.

Kudo and Matsuzaka emerged from under the debris. Matsuzaka wondered why Kudo helped him, to which he replied that they were never enemies and Matsuzaka was simply deceived. The two bickered about their fight being cut short before laughing it off. Back at Horiguchi's, Ken tended to Kudo's wounds while Mika scolded him for allowing Tawlon to get away. Kudo replied that he knew Tawlon would return.
