Goké, Body Snatcher from Hell (Japanese: 吸血鬼ゴケミドロ, Hepburn: Kyūketsuki Gokemidoro, lit.

He shoots out the plane's transistor radio just as it breaks the news about a UFO over Japan with Japanese and U.S. Air Force fighters in pursuit.

A luminous object streaks past overhead, knocking out the airplane's control and causing an engine fire to erupt.

Only a handful of people survived the crash: Sugisaka; Kuzumi; Mrs. Neal, an American widow; Senator Mano of the Constitutional Democratic Party; weapons exporter Tokiyasu and his wife Noriko; psychiatrist Momotake; space biologist Professor Sagai; and the young man who called in the bomb threat.

A dark blob oozes towards the hijacker, whose forehead splits wide open, causing Kuzumi to scream and pass out.

The teenager who called in the bomb threat attacks Dr. Momotake, causing him to fall off the cliff, where he comes across the hijacker, who kills him by draining his blood.

They refuse, and the teenager triggers the bomb, killing himself and blowing a large opening in the airplane, wounding Professor Sagai.

The Gokemidoro crawls out of the burning hijacker, creeps into the plane, and enters Professor Sagai's forehead.
