Civil Security arc
After entering the Tokyo Area, the Original Gastrea manages to invade Sumiaki Okajima's home and, whilst the man speaks on the phone, ambush him and pass the Gastrea Virus onto him.

Legacy of the Seven Stars arc
Two days after its initial attack, the Original Gastrea knits its own web into a kite and, now located in the Outer Area—32nd Area, glides through the air as Rentaro Satomi and Enju Aihara are aboard a plane. Once Rentaro notices the Gastrea, he quickly tells the pilot to lower their altitude. However, before he can do so, Enju opens the back door and jumps out of the plane and on top of the Gastrea. The Original Gastrea is then taken down to the ground, where it regains its former size and confronts Initiator Enju Aihara.

However, much to its demise, and after putting up a short-lived resistance, the Original Gastrea is mortally crushed by Enju. Not long after, the case in its belly, containing the Legacy of the Seven Stars, is taken by Kagetane Hiruko and Kohina Hiruko.
