[Nossan hasn't transformed yet either, but his lack of armour isn't by choice; the lack of his dinosaur partner Stegotchi has left him at a distinct disadvantage, and while he is still amazingly strong, even for a Kyoryuger, there is only so much he can deal powered down like this.
That said, he's just swung a dented lead pipe at an oni with enough force to send it spinning at high speed into the ground. Nossan's long since learned that he can't actually defeat them, so leaving them wrecked on the ground is his next best option. Somehow around the noise he hears his friend calling his name, and when he looks up the flash of gold isn't hard to miss.]
