Sensing their presence, yet unable to fight them due to his Spirit state, Torin saves Canderrilla and Luckyulo from being sealed with Bragigas as the three recruit a "People of the Strong Dragons" to combat the new threat.[8]

Sometime after the Kyoryugers defeated the Deboth Army, having sacrificed his physical body for their victory, Torin senses a new evil and comes to the aid of Canderrilla and Luckyuro by separating the Spirit Base from Bragigas as the Zyudenryu was being sealed away by one of the two members of a new evil called the Neo-Deboth Army. The other member, Homuras, proceeds to attack the humans under the orders of their leader Deizarus to force one with the power of the Dragon King to reveal himself. While police officer Jeon Hyeonjun and popstar Kim Sechang attempted to deal with Homuras's Zorima, the grunts are being dispatched by a mysterious youth whose Zyudenryu partner Guntyra appears to fight a Bojinma that Homuras summoned. Deeming the youth as another Daigo, Torin presents Kwon Juyong with a Gaburevolver that transforms into more enhanced version which he uses to become an enhanced version of Kyoryu Red to drive Homuras away. Brave Kyoryu Red then gives Hyeonjun and Sechang their own Gabugaburivolvers to become Brave Kyoryu Black and Brave Kyoryu Blue, the three combining Guntyra with the Zyudenryu Stegonsaw and Shovecera to create Brave Kyoryuzin to destroy the Bojima as two people witnessed the event from afar. | ||||

After accepting Torin's request to become Kyoryugers, Juyong, Hyeonjun, and Sechang proceed to search the city from other Kyoryugers with Canderrilla and Luckyuro. By chance, Canderrilla and Luckyuro encounter bratty teens before they and the Kyoryugers find themselves under attack by the Neo-Deboth Army member Arash who injured Canderrilla. The Kyoryugers hold off the Zorima while Canderrilla and Luckyuro find themselves being protected by the two bratty teens as they manage to overwhelm Arash when he may them lose their tempers. Noting them as Brave, Brave Kyoryu Red gives the two their own Gabugaburivolvers to become Brave Kyoryu Green and Brave Koryu Pink as they forced Arash into a counter before he summons a Bojima to cover his escape. The three Kyoryugers then combine Guntyra with the new members' Zyudenryu Parasaser and Rapx to form Brave Kyoryuzin Western to destroy the Bojima, as a mysterious Kyoryuger watches. Later, after Lee Pureun and Yun Dohee formally introduce themselves, Torin assign Hyeonjun and Sechang as their mentors. | ||||

He explains that he is training to become as strong as his older brother whom he got separated from as a child, consider his teammates as family. Meanwhile, the mysterious mercenary Juhyeok appears before the Neo-Deboth Army to offer his services in dispatching the Kyoryugers. While Deizarus accepts Juhyeok's offer, Wahab and Tsuraira felt their cannot trust him as they travel to Earth to deal with the Kyoryugers personally. While the two Neo-Deboth Army members overwhelm Brave Kyoryu Black and Brave Kyoryu Blue, Brave Kyoryu Green and Brave Kyoryu Pink turn the tables as Juyong deems the team to be fully formed before joining his teammates in driving Wahab and Tsuraira off. Wahab summons Bojinma and two Giant Zorima to cover their escape, with the Kyoryugers using Brave Kyoruzin's formations to defeat their opposition.

After receiving his payment to test the Kyoryugers' skills, Juhyeok proceeds to Earth to confront the Kyoryugers during their training exercise after Juyong ran off. Juhyeok introduces himself as a Dinosaur Hunter before he transforms into Brave Koryu Gold and overpowers the four Kyoryugers.

But Brave Kyoryu Gold spares the Kyoryugers while taking his leave, telling the Neo-Deboth Army members that killing the Kyoryugers will cost extra while Deizarus is amused with the results. Later, as Torin is perplexed who Juhyeok is, the Kyoryugers refuse to lose to him again. | ||||

Brave Kyoryuzin Western faces Brave Pteraiden-Oh, with the Kyoryugers using their individual strengths to defeat their opponent.

While revealed to be Juyong's big brother, Juhyeok denies it while telling Juyong that his team will not be lucky sometime.

Juyong then demands answers from Juhyeok before they are attacked by Homuras and his fellow Neo-Deboth Army member Raimein, Juhyeok appearing to emit energy as he covers Juyong while explaining it changes nothing between them. The other Kyoryugers arrive, Juhyeok reluctantly accepting their help as the Neo-Deboth Army members' action ended his contract with them. The two generals are forced to flee while summoning a Bojinma which Brave Kyoryuzin battles before combining with Pteravolton to become Braven Raiden Kyoryuzin to destroy it.

Seeing Juyong in the dumps, Sechang confronts Juhyeok alone before they are ambushed by Tsuraira. Taking advantage of Juhyeok tossing his gold coins at Tsuraira, Sechang battles the Neo-Deboth Army commander before Juhyeok intervenes as the other Kyoryugers arrive. As Juyong apologizes for worrying everyone, Juhyeok claims to have a contract with the Kyoryugers on the grounds that he will help them five times.

The Kyoryugers were about to enter the cave when Juhyeok arrives to stop them from reviving Gigabragigas, only for Hyeonjun to hold the mercenary at bay before they are attacked by Raimein.

After letting Brave Kyoryu Red go to Juhyeok's aid, the other Kyoryugers quickly defeat Jinarik so Torin can purify Gigabragigas.

Juyong arrives as Raimein confirmed Juhyeok to not be the possessor of the Dragon King power, Juyong reveals himself to be the actual Dragon King while telling his brother to stop protecting him as they and the other Kyoryugers proceed to drive Raimein and Homuras off. But Arash refuses to accept defeat and enlarges, only to be destroyed after the five main Kyoryugers then combine their Zyudenryu with Brave Gigant Bragi-Oh to form as Brave Gigant Kyoryuzin.
