The evil alien first appeared when he attacked a city. Ultraman Cosmos showed up and fought him only to realised that its wings can separate. The alien retreated for a while. At EYES Treasure Base, Doigaki reveals that the alien is actually two living things, naming them as GiriBanes . He named the humanoid alien Giri and the wing-like alien Banes as both of them are also bloodsucking organisms. Banes disguised herself as Ai Misaki , Fubuki's girlfriend whom died in an aviation accident, in order to hypnotize him into give her the EYES Data. But her plans failed after Fubuki finally snapped out of her spell. Giri then appeared where he summons a fleet of battleships and fights Cosmos.

That night, M releases her from the hospital as Musashi and Shinobu chase them. Shinobu later captured them as she secretly leaked their information via her watch.
