The Mantis Mutant accompanied Bilgenia into capturing Professor Daimon's pupil Egami to have him make the Hellshooter with Professor Daimon's data so he can challenge Kamen Rider Black and Road Sector. The Mantis Mutant attacked Egami in his lab and injured his wife Kayo. The Mantis Mutant later abducted Kayo and Egami's daughter Sachiko from the hospital and Bilgenia threatened to have the Mantis Mutant harm them if he did not cooperate. When Kamen Rider Black came to the rescue, he engaged the Mantis Mutant as Egami escapes. The Mantis Mutant got its left scythe-hand stuck in a concrete support beam as Kamen Rider Black chopped it off him. Kamen Rider Black killed the Mantis Mutant with the Rider Kick, but Bilgenia's challenge has begun.
