When Aruto alongside Is and Bingo arrive at Gai Amatsu's office and asking Naoto about the ZAIA Spec that was dropped by Dynamaiting Lion Raider, Naoto was accused by Bingo that Naoto is the Dynamaiting Lion Raider who attacked him, but Naoto soon denied the allegations by saying that he is not Dynamaiting Lion Rider as Naoto told them that his ZAIA Spec is missing and decide to buy a new one while Bingo shocked that Naoto said the truth about his missing ZAIA Spec and Dynamaiting Lion Raider.
In the rematch round, Naoto saw the evidence that was shown by Bingo about the truth and start asking questions to Bingo about the evidence but was stopped by Fuwa who caught the real perpetrator who was behind the marriage scam case which is Masuji Narusawa, a police officer who target Yuto as a person accused of being the perpetrator of marriage scam.
