Long-duration -ray bursts (GRBs) are thought to be connected with luminous and energetic Type Ic supernovae [SNe, called hypernovae (HNe)] resulting from the black-hole (BH) forming collapse of massive stars. For GRBs 060505 and 060614, however, the expected SNe have not been detected. The upper limits to the SN brightness are about 100 times fainter than GRB-associated HNe (GRB-HNe), corresponding to the upper limits to the ejected Ni masses of Ni). SNe with a small amount of Ni ejection are observed as faint Type II SNe. HNe and faint SNe are thought to be responsible for the formaion of extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars. A relativistic jet-induced BH forming explosion of the 40 star is investigated and hydrodynamic and nucleosynthetic models are presented. These models can explain both GRB-HNe and GRBs without bright SNe in a unified manner. We suggest that GRBs without bright SNe are likely to synthesize Ni) or .
