History[]
When a Phantom Army missile transport was attacked by a mysterious figure, Stone Banbara believed Goro Watari was responsible and appeared to fight him. Goro, who had come over to investigate the explosion of the transport, transformed into Sanagiman and then Inazuman to battle Stone Banbara, eventually driving the Mutant Robot away. Stone Banbara then returned to the Neo-Human Empire's lair where he reported the destruction of the transport to Emperor Banba. To finish the construction of the missile base the Neo-Human Empire was building, Banba sent Phantom Soldiers to kidnap a group of construction workers so they could be used as slave laborers to complete the base. Among those kidnapped was Gosaku Marume, friend of Goro, who later tried to escape. While the Phantom Soldiers pursued Gosaku, the rest of the workers attempted to flee, only to be caught by Stone Banbara. Once the base was complete, Stone Banbara attempted to have all the workers executed, but Inazuman appeared just in time to rescue them. As Inazuman fought off the Phantom Soldiers, Stone Banbara leapt in a Neo-Human fighter plane and led a trio of planes to attack Inazuman, who called in Raijingo and used the flying car to engage them in a dogfight. After Inazuman shot down his plane, Stone Banbara got up to fight Inazuman one last time, only for Inazuman to beat him down before finishing him off with his Lightning Strike attack. At the same time he and Inazuman were fighting however, Udespar and a Despar Soldier got inside the missile base and shot off a missile to hit Tokyo from it. Inazuman stopped it from hitting its target and accused Banba of firing the missile, but Banba denied doing so before teleporting away.
