Nothing is stolen, but some red sand is found near Jet Jaguar. Goro analyzes the sand to reveal that the sand is from 50 miles below sea level. The people who broke into his laboratory return and kidnap Goro and Rokuro, who awaken in a container that will be dumped in a river. The truck carrying the container overturns, spilling Goro and Rokuro. They are found by Jinkawa who had been following the truck. Goro then approaches the Military to get clearance for Jet Jaguar to get Godzilla to fight Megalon. The Military then joins Goro to recapture Jet Jaguar's main control system from the Seatopians.

Godzilla vs. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers II
While fleeing from Rita Repulsa and Astronema's monsters, the Power Rangers used a fragment of the Multiversal Focus to teleport themselves and Godzilla to an alternate reality in the Multiverse in the hopes of minimizing the damage from their fights, only to end up at World Children's Land in one of these alternate worlds. During the subsequent battle, a robot suddenly appeared and began fighting Rita's monsters. Goro Ibuki, a scientist and inventor native to that world, established contact with the Power Rangers and identified the robot as Jet Jaguar, assuring the heroes that they were here to help. Goro explained that, by tracking irregularities in the space-time continuum, he expected their arrival and sent Jet Jaguar to investigate, though the robot's survival programming kicked in and made Jet Jaguar want to join the fight by his own volition. After the White Ranger lamented being unable to control the Multiversal Focus to determine what reality they would jump to, Goro presented Jet Jaguar as a solution and instructed them to give the artifact to Jet Jaguar. The White Ranger installed the fragment into Jet Jaguar's chest, which allowed him to control the fragment and gave him the ability of teleporting himself and others to alternate worlds. Goro was able to maintain contact with the Power Rangers through their Zords even as they traveled to alternate realities, and helped identify the kaiju used to create the Kaiju Psycho Rangers - monsters created by fusing the energies of Godzilla's most powerful foes with the Psycho Rangers.
After the Power Rangers found themselves overwhelmed by the Kaiju Psycho Rangers, Zordon, the Elias, and Goro worked together to develop a plan to help the heroes - by combining their magic and technology, they could infuse the Power Rangers with their own kaiju energy. Jet Jaguar proceeded to traverse the multiverse to harness the energies of Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, Anguirus, Baragon, and King Caesar to help create the Kaiju Power Rangers and their Kaiju Zords. Goro maintained contact with the team as they managed to defeat their foes and return the various kaiju to their respective universes with Jet Jaguar's help.
