"Princess..."

―Jean-Bot before deactivating himself

"He used me as the base for Jean-Killer. I believed he also copied my Advanced Artificial Intelligence."

―Jean-Bot said when he was captured

A year after Ultimate Force Zero's last battle with Kaiser Belial, Jean-Bot and Princess Emerana was kidnapped by Beatstar in his travel sphere. The remaining three Ultimate Force Zero, Ultraman Zero, Mirror Knight and Glenfire broke into the sphere and tried to save them. Jean-Bot was later kidnapped, reprogrammed and become the main base model for Jean-Killer. While Jean-Killer attacked Ultimate Force Zero, Jean-Bot was ordered to eliminate Rei and Hyuga.

Zero took Jean-Bot away, and he began to regain his consciousness but he had to shut down his system to resist Beatstar's control. As the fighting with Zero continues, before Zero had a chance to defeat Jean-Killer, Jean-Bot stopped Zero in time and tells everyone that he is his brother, the rest of the team is surprised when Jean-Bot try to persuade Jean-Killer that living life forms is the not enemy, as he still under the control of Beatstar he continued to attack Jean-Bot and the team.

Emerana arrives and persuades him to open his heart to the truth to make up his own mind, he responds but Beatstar forcefully gains control of him again and he attacks Emerana with beams from his eyes and holds back the team with electric blasts to make them stay where they are, even how much Rei tried to stop her, Hyuga told Rei that they should trust her. She still tries to convince Jean-Killer as she believes that Jean-Killer has a heart as his attack missed countless times at Emerana. He stopped after he saw Emerana's tear, the team is freed and everyone is surprised when they see Jean-Killer's tears. Everyone had taught him about life, heart and the truth about organic lifeforms not being his enemy. Jean-Killer had made up his own mind but Hyuga reminds everyone that time is growing short before the sphere will hit the planet.

The team and Jean-Killer destroyed all surrounding Legionoids. Ultraman, Ultraseven, and Zoffy arrive to buy them time before the sphere hits the planet. Jean-Bot begged Jean-Killer to reveal Beatstar's location. Jean-Killer told them that he's on a half-cut moon. The team jump up to the moon and found a several of King Joes and Inpelaizers. Jean-Bot, Glenfire, Mirror Knight and Rei summoned Gomora to hold them for Zero, so Zero will be able to stop Beatstar. After everything is over, Jean-Killer had been renamed by Emerana as "Jean-Nine" and Zero had him joined the team as well. Emerana told Jean-Bot to be a good big brother to him. After Ultraman, Ultraseven and Zoffy left to Land of Light, Ultimate Force Zero is ready to save universe again. ^{Ultraman Zero Gaiden: Killer the Beatstar}

Ultra Zero Fight

Like the rest of Ultimate Force Zero, Jean-Bot waited for Zero to finish his training in the Monster Graveyard. After Zero's adventure, he and the rest of the team greeted the Ultra and made their way back to the Living Dimension. ^{A New Power}

While Zero was being attacked by the Darkness Five (save Jatar and Sly) and Tyrant, Jean-Bot joined Ultimate Force Zero to hold them off while Zero went to rescue Pigmon. Jean-Bot fought Villainous and Tyrant with his brother. When Zero arrives at the scene, Jean-Nine greeted the hero. However, Jean-Bot senses something wrong and push away Jean-Nine, having himself killed as Zero was revealed to be under Belial's possession. While Ultraman Zero fell into submission, members of Ultimate Force Zero gives several encouragements to him before departing to the afterlife. He was later revived when Zero reversed the time flow and along with the other members, escorted his exhausted body. ^{Shining Zero}

Jean-Bot first appears fighting against a group of Galactrons, alongside Ultimate Force Zero. When Gillvalis targeted Geed's Earth as the next one to judge and reset, the group arrive at the World of Side Space to stop his threat after being informed by Zoffy. While Zero joined forces with Ultraman Orb, and Ultraman Geed, Jean-Bot and the others could only guard them from space while contributing to the battle by blasting Cyber Planet Kushia with their attacks. After the battle, Jean-Bot and Ultimate Force Zero left the planet after entrusting Earth to the hands of Riku/Geed.
