With that he confirmed a part of his identity. Later he fainted during a fight against Mazaku and was brought to Retteijou. There he became part of the Gundam Army and fought against the Hyakki Yakou Shuu. During one of the battles it was found out the Blaster is V-ou Daoshougun's brother. But when the Gundam Army was about to save Blaster, Jyarei interfered and the two fused to become a new single entity, Gundam Yami Gensui. The strong attacks of Yami Gensui put the Gundam Army at a tight spot. With Tallgeese's active participation V no suke is released but that resulted in Yami Gensui becoming the more powerful Shin Yami Gensui. At that time, the consciousness of Godmaru in Tenrei's memory is awakened and they evolved into Kishin Daishougun Shiryuuou. Shiryuuou, drawing strength from the guardian beasts of the three countries, defeated Shin Yami Gensui. Having completed his mission Godmaru, now Neo Godmaru, returns to the Heavens.
