Awesome / Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger

Moment subpages are Spoilers Off. You Have Been Warned.

Nothing like a good ol' "Super Sentai" Stance to solidify your awesomeness.

Zenkaiger does have tons of humor loaded in it, but owing to it airing during Super Sentai's 45th anniversary, it inevitably packs in a whole new world of jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring events.

General

No. 1-kai! The Crazy Cool Kikai World-kai!

• The beginning sees various Sentai's worlds being invaded and trapped by the Tojitendo. Then it's revealed later-on that not only did the Tojitendo conquer the various Sentai worlds, they've conquered every world except for the merged Kikaitopia-human world. That's how you do a universal conquest people.
  • Rather than simply film new footage, the staff actually took the time to change the aspect ratio and match the film grain of Goranger and Zyuranger with the new footage.
• Juran instantly protecting a kid from a Kudack, despite having been alienated from his human friends just a little while ago.
• Juran straight-up shooting one of the mooks in the head the moment he gets his Geartlinger is both hilarious and awesome.
• Zenkaizer and Zenkai Juran's first battle against the Tojitendo is nothing short of non-stop awesome:
  • As soon as they transform, they attack the Kudacks with ease, blasting and slashing their way out. However, they aren't just causing the explosions, they're fighting within the explosion.
  • The usage of the Sentai gears are excellent homages, but are also innovative in their own right.
    • Kaito uses Sentai Gear #40, inspired by the world of Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger. Growing a set of wings much like ZyuohEagle, he easily flies through and cuts down the Kudacks in the air.
    • Sentai Gear #39 gives Juran the power of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, getting him fired up to release a barrage of fast slashes that easily defeats the mooks.
  • Juran easily switches from Zenkai Juran to JuranTyranno with ease, allowing him to hit the Kudaitest without breaking a sweat. Not only does his power still persist, he also has speed and agility on his side, swiftly attacking and dodging its attacks. His Finishing Move is nothing less than pure badass as he propels himself straight to his opponent before jumping high in the sky, destroying the Kudaitest with his tail (that doubles as a sword!).
    • In addition, Juran's fight doesn't suffer from the same weight Humongous Mecha fights in Sentai usually suffers, his combat moves just flows nicely, showing that despite being turned giant his mobility hasn't been hampered at all!
  • Kaito's fight with the Kudaiters is also just as awesome, making extensive use of Wire Fu as well as some creatively-placed hits. His Finishing Move also has him jumping up high in the sky to land a well-timed blast straight through the Kudaiter.
• Visually the episode is exceptional, from the fantastic choreography to the improving visual effects to the impressive cinematography. The staff definitely deserves a moment of praise for their work on this episode, especially since they were doing while the COVID-19 Pandemic was still going on.

No. 2-kai! The Roaring Wild Beast is a Huge Pain-kai!

• Gaon, with no hesitation, shooting one of the mooks with his newly-attained Geartlinger. Doubles as a CMOF.
• The three Zenkaigers' fight is full of this:
  • The trio fighting in an explosion just like last episode is a marvel to behold.
  • Kaito uses Sentai Gear #26 (Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger) to enact their own Super Ninpou: Shadow Dance. Cue the three blitzing through the Kudacks with the speed and agility of the Hurricanegers as a screen masks them in a shadow.
  • Gaon shows some impressive agility and brutality in his Zenkaiger form, easily dodging through Kinoko Wald's attacks and hitting the Wald with ease. Despite the suit's bulkiness, the suit actor is simply show-stopping in this scene, easily doing moves just as he would in any other suit.
  • After Gaon throws up Kinoko Wald, Kaito engages a barrage of kicks on the MOTW. The Wire Fu is simply outstanding in this scene despite its short duration.
  • ZenkaiOh's first fight is both awesome and hilarious. After Kaito merges JuranTyranno and GaonLion together, the mecha makes quick work of Great Kinoko Wald, easily switching between Juran's strength-based swordplay and Gaon's animalistic movements. When the Kudaiter tries to blast through them, they use the split move Gaon and Juran did earlier to dodge the attack. Then the three enact their Finishing Move: "Juran Sword: Zengetsu Crash", a series of three slashes that is reminiscent of the TimeRobo Alpha's "Press Blizzard".
• In spite of being weakened by the poisons from the mushrooms, Kaito is still able to stand and fight on through pure determination.

No. 3-kai! The Seriously Anxious Witch-kai!

• When Gaon mocks her fortune-telling, Magine does not hesitate to let him have it; going on a pretty epic rant on how fortune-telling is popular in Kikaitopia and why she loves it. Gaon instantly backs down as soon as she's done. Yume Miyamoto and Ayumi Shimozomo do an excellent job showcasing Magine's zealousness during this scene, working together with some incredible voiceover and suit acting.
• Despite her reluctance to fight, Kaito's bravery (and by extension the others) to fight the Tojitendo against the odds encourages her to join the Zenkaigers to protect her new home.
• While Sentai Gear #38 (Ressha Sentai ToQger) may provide a simple attack (which is just the team connecting together like a train), it's effective enough to blitz through the mooks despite the ice.
• Magine's sheer creativity with her magic is sight to behold:
  • She conjures up cleats made out of her magic for the boys for her to wear.
  • After deflecting Koori Wald's attack, she pulls off a weaponized cup-and-balls trick by conjuring up three pink cups. Each time the Wald attacks the wrong one, she comes out and blasts him with lightning. The final shuffle has her creating a double of herself to blast double the lightning.
• The debut of MaginDragon does not hold back in sheer power.
  • Thanks to her flight capabilities, she's able to easily dodge Great Koori Wald's strikes before blasting his attacks with one of her own; turning the Wald's blast into a frozen treat.
  • ZenkaiOh JuranMagine packs in a punch thanks to MaginDragon's wings, easily zipping through the frozen structures like a piece of cake. Then, it uses its wings to cut through the ice, catching Great Koori Wald off-guard. Just enough for ZenkaiOh JuranGaon to reform and slash through the Wald some more.
  • For her final trick, she turns the Great Wald into a frozen dessert as revenge, allowing for ZenkaiOh to finish him off for good.

No. 4 Kai! The Trembling Huge Busybody-kai!

• The boxing choreography with the various citizens infected by Boxing Wald's Hate Plague is simple, but impressive.
• Fed up with Ijirude's mistreatment and empowered by the knowledge of the world around him, Vroon finally decides to quit the Tojitendo and fight with the Zenkaigers; fueled by the desire to protect world's knowledge. He then tops this off with an epic Say My Name moment.
  Vroon: (to Ijirude) There's something I want to teach you before I quit... my name is Vroon!
• While the others fed off the Kudacks with their various fighting styles, Vroon forgoes all flashiness for pure power, taking on the Kudacks like a champ. When Boxing Wald launches his boxing gloves at him, he utilizes his Detachment Combat ability to avoid the gloves and race at the Wald, punching him straight in the jaw when he comes back together.
• Using the power of martial arts thanks to Sentai Gear #17 (Gosei Sentai Dairanger), the team skillfully use the Dairen Rods to overpower Boxing Wald. Kaito then punctuates the Wald's defeat by emulating Daigo's infamous Groin Attack with Ryu Ranger's Dairen Rod before the team finishes him off for good.
• The mecha battle is full of these moments:
  • With JuraGaon on the ropes thanks to Grwat Boxing Wald's absurd rules, VroonDump rushes in to save the day by destroying one of the boxing rings.
  • Finding himself caught up with the second Kudaitest, MaginDragon comes in to turn the tides of the fight. The two then combine as ZenkaiOh VrooMagin, taking on the Kudaitest with a combination of Magine's magic and Vroon's raw power.
  • The two mechas then decide to switch it up, with JuraMagin using their flight capabilities to take the Kudaitest off-guard while VrooGaon utilizes the speed and strength of the two to punch the poor Kudaitest into submission.
  • VrooMagin finally defeats Great Boxing Wald by dashing at the Great Wald before enacting their Finishing Move: Vroon Picker, Accel Smash; a series of three slashes empowered by Magine's magic.

No. 5-kai! The Grip-and-Grasp Sushi Tournament-kai!

• Sentai Gear #41's (Uchu Sentai Kyuranger) highly unconventional power of giving its user Lucky's extreme luck manages to get Juran and Kaito over to the quarry where the others are at in the nick of time - hilarious antics notwithstanding.
• Even when stuck as a so-called "Zenkaiger Nigiri", Kaito and Juran still manage to give Sushi Wald enough trouble actually beat him without getting the others involved; combining Kaito's mixed Bare-Fisted Monk, gunslinger style with Juran's swordsmanship to create an unlikely, but still effective combination.
• Sentai Gear #43 (Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger) just grants the Ryusoul Ken, but its damage output more than makes up for it, with Kaito easily slashing through Sushi Wald's defenses to rescue the trapped Kikanoid Zenkaigers. The "Bang!" part of the announcement lines up perfectly with the Ryusoulger "Roar/Shine" sound, and a familiar voice line is heard;
  QUE BOM!
• ZenkaiOh JuraGaon and VrooMagin drop all pretenses to simply beat Sushi Wald at his own game with sheer firepower, easily destroying the Wald with a combined Finishing Move.

No. 6-kai! The Disturbingly Mysterious Garbage Handling-kai!

• The team invoking a explosion when they try to defeat Gomi Wald on the spot is pretty damn cool.
• Vroon going lightspeed when he collects Gomi Wald's trash is both this and a Funny moment.
• Magine utilizes her uncanny ability to find things in trash to find Secchan through Gomi Wald's garbage. She later uses this ability to find Vroon through the Wald's trash as well.
• Vroon, through sheer his Heroic Willpower and cleaning abilities, was able to break through Gomi Wald's trash despite having been affected with his Lazy Bum plague.
• Using Sentai Gear #36 (Tokumei Sentai Go Busters), Magine and Vroon use Hiromu's Super-Speed and Super-Strength respectively to beat Gomi Wald into submission.
• Magine cleverly uses her magic to change all of the trash into recyclables, making Gomi Wald's abilities useless. Using that to their advantage, ZenkaiOh VrooMagin quickly beat Gomi Wald no problem.

No. 7-kai! The Demon Prince has a Short Fuse-kai!

• Stacy makes his full debut here and he pulls no punches in proving his status:
  • As soon as he sees the Zenkaigers, he pulls out the Geartozinger and Dark Gears, using it against the team. The fake Gorengers, Magirangers, and Boukengers spare no expense in throughly beating the team, coming extremely close to defeating them for good if it wasn't for Kaito's quick thinking.
  • After getting the others distracted with the fake Gorengers and Gaorangers, Stacy reveals his own Ranger form: Stacaesar. In his purple-clad Ranger form, he more than proves to be on Kaito's level, fighting him to a near standstill at many points.
  • Stacy summons Daizyujin, GaoKing, MagiKing, and DaiBouken (the mecha that the Kikanoid Zenkaigers were based off!) to fight against the Kikanoid Zenkaigers, subjecting them to another brutal Curb-Stomp Battle.
  • Even though the fake Daizyujin, GaoKing, MagiKing, and DaiBouken were defeated by the Zenkaigers (sans Kaito), Stacey just goes ahead and summons a bunch more, showing that the team's fight against him is far from over.
• Using Sentai Gear #25 (Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger), the Kikanoid Zenkaigers' senses and fighting abilities go into overdrive, easily beating the fake Gaorangers.
• The team enacts their own "Gorenger Hurricane" against the fake Gorengers, overpowering the fake team's own Gorenger Hurricane before transforming the End Ball into a plastic eraser to finish them off.
• Up against the fake Sentai mecha, the four giant Zenkaigers decide to summon a giant Geartlinger to blast the mechas into oblivion, which manages to work thanks to the power of Sentai Gear #10 (Choushinsei Flashman).

No. 8-kai! The Other Worlds, From Door to Door-kai?!

• The Kikanoid Zenkaigers teamwork during the mecha battle is truly outstanding, with Juran taking the lead. They easily defeat Door Wald within a matter of minutes, despite the Wald's powers giving them trouble beforehand.
• Zocks makes his grand entrance, as par for the course for a Sixth Ranger:
  • Using his battleship CrocoDaiOh, he destroys the two fake mecha Stacey summoned. He then jumps out of his ship and makes a perfect landing.
  • Zocks's song on his introduction. And then it's top by his transformation which packs in a hammy jingle he dances to!
    • If you pay close attention to Twokaizer's standby theme it is suspiciously similar to "Let's Dazzle Them!"^note "Kiramekouze!" from Kiramager.
  • He easily defeats Stacy and breaks the latter's Dark Gears, forcing the enemy to retreat.

No. 9-kai! The World-Traveling Pirates' Two-Cool Tour-kai!

• Twokaizer's fights are once again a wonder to behold this episode:
  • Zocks's utter brutality during his duel with Kaito is both effective and refreshing in a franchise filled with straight heroes - making it clear as day that Zocks is very much a Pragmatic Hero through and through.
  • Pissed off at Kashiwa Mochi Wald messing with his sister, he subjects the Wald to a major Curb-Stomp Battle:
    • When he finally has the Wald to himself after squabbling with Kaito, Zocks first uses Ricky to change in his Ohran form, inspired by Chouriki Sentai Ohranger. He skips all theatrics and goes straight Bare-Fisted Monk, using a series of rapid punches and kicks to gain the upper hand.
    • Using Cutanner, he switches into Shinken form, a samurai-like warrior inspired by Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. Changing the Geardalinger from gun form to sword form, Zocks channels Shinken Red's levelheaded swordplay as he slashes through the Wald like butter. After some intervention from Kaito and Kashiwa Mochi Wald's leaf peeling off, Zocks and Cuttaner finish the monster off with "Twokaizer Shinken Issen", a fiery finisher that directly invokes the image of Shinken Red's Rekka Daizantou.
• Kaito, Juran, and Gaon get their own awesome moment during the mecha battle, easily destroying Great Kashiwa Mochi Wald's mochi weapon by splitting ZenkaiOh JuraGaon in half once more, throwing back the mochi to trap the Wald before finishing him off.

No. 10-kai! The Skies are Blue, Be It Day or Night-kai!

• Kaito uses Sentai Gear #21 (Denji Sentai Megaranger) to transform Juran's shield to make it float like a Cyber Slider to save the civilian trapped by Mahiru Wald. The visual effects during the scene are simply stunning.
• The Zenkaigers coming in at the last minute to save a group of civilians about to be crushed by a piece of rubble. Despite their collective exhaustion, they prove full well why they're worthy of being a Sentai.
  • What really caps off the awesome is Kaito's speech to Zocks. He doesn't try to argue with Zocks's comments about his parents or his methods, but states that if Zocks's way of doing this is to focus on the Tojitendo at all costs; then the Zenkaigers' way of doing things is to protect the whole world as good as they can despite it all.
• Ohran form's "Twokaizer Chouriki Star Knuckle" uses a Power Fist that easily crushes Mahiru Wald in one blow. Talk about Simple, yet Awesome.
• Pissed off by Great Mahiru Wald's Endless Daytime, Magine drags along Vroon and Kaito in ZenkaiOh VrooMagine. Conjuring a bunch of clouds, the trio instantly get crushed when the Wald summons more sunlight. So what does the mecha do? Conjure up a pair of solar viewing glasses (because you should never look at the sun with just sunglasses) and go at the Wald with its blistering speed before they finally finish him off. And yes, they did this while they were exhausted!

No. 11-kai! The Encroaching World Is One of Tag-kai?!

• Kaito uses Sentai Gear #34 (Tensou Sentai Goseiger) to summon the Tensouder. Inserting the Windrive Card, he manages to blow all of the oni-fied civilians (as well as Magine and Vroon) up into the sky long enough for Onigokko Wald's stronghold on them to be lifted. It somehow manages to work despite Vroon's justifiable concerns.
• The Goldtsuikers pull off some major awesome moments throughout the latter half of the episode:
  • Jumping out of CrocoDaiOh, Zocks pulls out the Gekiranger Gear to summon GekiChopper's SaiBlade. Karate-chopping the Wald's head, he initiates the "switch off" function to officially end his game and break the other's oni-fication.
  • The Reveal that Flint created Sentai Gears based off of the Zenkaigers' Sentai Gear by just looking at the specs of Kaito's gear is no small feat. That's right, she pirated off of people once again!
  • Zocks uses the pirated Hurricanger Gear to summon Shurikenger's Shuriken Bat, performing the ever-awesome Super Ninja Art: Secret Hitting Thousand Knock, allowing the Zenkaigers to finish him off with their own Finishing Move.
  • Crossing over with CMOF, Cuttaner and Ricky stage an argument on CrossKaiOh and CrawlingOh to go all around the world, reforming as CrocoKaiOh along the way to reach Great Onigokko Wald's back to plant his Time Bomb. Everybody slowly backs away and covers their ears, allowing for the time bomb to explode, fully consuming the Wald with it. Talk about a pragmatic approach.

No. 12-kai! The Slowest Snail Has The Toughest Shell-Kai!

• Katatsumuri Wald slows down Juran and Magine, such that they can't pull out their Geartlingers to transform and engage the monster before beating them. Talk about averting Transformation Is a Free Action. It even overpowers TwoKaiser with its ability and brute strength!
• The Zenkaigers using Sentai Gear #13 (Kousoku Sentai Turboranger) to restore everyone's movement speed.
• Zocks's plan to protect himself from Katasumuri Wald? He used his Geardalinger to mark spots in the air and shoot down the monster's missiles while dancing in slow-mo. He also does this in anticipation of the Wald getting closer to him, landing a few free shots at the monster. Crazy-Prepared much?
• During the robot fight, Great Katatsumuri Wald breaks ZenkaiOh JuraGaon's sword and claws with its tough shells, giving one point to the villains.
• Finally we get not one, but two robot debuts as the Zenkaigers square off with Great Katatsumuri Wald.
  • First of all, there's Stacaesar's personal robot, the Battle Caesar Robo, a heavily armed and armoured Evil Knockoff of the Battle Fever team's mech. It barges into the fight between ZenkaiOh JuraGaon and the Great Wald, delivering critical hits to the Zenkaiger's robot and even ramming its shield into its foe later on.
  • Second, TwokaiOh Cuttaner's debut. It takes on a samurai motive to engage Great Katatsumuri Wald. Its sword cuts through the monster's snail shells without breaking and wins a one-on-one sword duel with the Great Wald, even when the latter induced a heavy downpour.

No. 13-kai! The Attempt at Recycling Once Again-kai!

• Recycle Wald is the first Wald to give the whole Zenkaiger team a really hard time. To wit:
  • He "recycles" human civilians into Kudacks and gave each one a Tojiru Gear. He even announces it to Gaon and Kaito, placing them in a pinch when they realise they have to defeat those grunts...without hurting them since they're all human.
  • It may be unintentional, but the Wald's plan indirectly causes Zocks, who saw the human!Kudacks as more enemies with Tojiru Gears (and believing one of them to be SDTopia's), placing him at odds with Kaito and Gaon. Team disunity, much? Thankfully, Secchan's suggestion of using Sentai Gear #28 (Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger) to handcuff Zocks was able to contain the overzealous pirate in the meantime.
  • When he becomes a Great Wald, he brings back Kinoko, Koori, Boxing, and Sushi Walds to counter the Zenkaigers. And the Great Wald team makes quick work of ZenkaiOh JuraGaon and VrooMagine, finishing them off with Recycle Bazooka.
• The Zenkaigers' plan to counter the human!Kudacks? Tickle them. This was taken from an earlier moment when Gaon got tickled by some human kids. Later on, Magine summons a large duster to tickle more of those Kudacks.
• When the Zenkaigers all transform and do their roll call, the entire team runs towards the foe. It ends with a jump and a downward slash on Recycle Wald.
• Gaon is livid at Recycle Wald for hurting the humans, so he goes all out against the Wald. Zocks even joins in the fray and the two use Sentai Gear #32 (Engine Sentai Go-onger) to strike out at him just like the Go-on Wings before Zocks finishes him off.
• For all his unscrupulous demeanour, Zocks proves his worth and strength again, not just by the immediate above example but also for the debut of TwokaiOh Ricky to take on the five Great Walds. Why?
  1. The robot holds its own against the Walds, withstanding any punishment it receives while throwing a few blows at them.
  2. It blasts Koori and Kinoko Walds with not just gatling gunfire, but also manifestations of the Ohrangers' symbols and a laser manifestation of the pyramid landing on top of the two!
  3. It sucks Sushi Wald into CrocoDaiOh's jaws and crushes the foe in its mouth!
  4. It disposes of Boxing Wald, by repeatedly kicking it!
• Finally, Stacy, piloting his robot, barges in and dispatches Great Recycle Wald, by charging up and throwing his twin leg swords at the monster; said swords pack in rocket propulsion and explode upon impact!

No. 14-kai! The Decisive Duel! Zenkai Versus Twokai!

• The Reveal that Zenkaizer and Twokaizer's duel was a Staged Shooting the whole time. Understanding that Stacy's promise to take the Goldtsuikers to the Tojitendo Palace to get the SDTopia Gear was pretty much total bunkum, the Goldtsuikers and Zenkaigers created a plan offscreen to undermine his plan. While the other Zenkaigers angsted about Kaito's supposed death at Zocks's hands, Kaito used Sentai Gear #11 (Hikari Sentai Maskman) to create enough Aura Power to float safely away from the scene. When Stacy reveals his plan, the Goldtsuikers instantly turn on him, allowing for Kaito to come in and reveal that he's alive - ruining Stacy and Ijirude's plan.
• Flint proves herself to be quite the Badass Bystander by fighting off the Kudacks with nothing more than a revolver.
• Stacy summons the J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai squad to fight off Zocks and Kaito, with the fake team using their JAKQ Covack to fling Kaito off the cliff. Secchan (through Vroon) quickly suggests to Zocks that he use Sentai Gear #2 (the same team) to fight back, granting him Big One's Staff of Authority to turn the fake JAKQ Dengakitai on Stacy. That's right, he weaponized the power of the freakin' Spotlight-Stealing Squad.
• The rest of the Zenkaigers easily dispatch the Kudaiters with a combination of Magine's magic (summoning a giant set of clackers for crying out loud) and their Combination Attack.
• TwoKaiOh vs. Battle Caesar Robo is a marvel from beginning to end.
  • TwoKaiOh Ricky bursts through Battle Caesar Robo's defenses with its raw power, destroying the Swordcaesar with ease.
  • With the sun setting, TwoKaiOh switches over to Cuttaner to finish off Battle Caesar Robo, quickly slashing through its defenses before finally setting the final blow. The last shot of the battle is nothing short of magnificent, lacking any music to dramatize the scene.

No. 15-kai! The Tubular And Sudden Retro Rewind Kai!

• Pissed off at Retro Wald for exploiting everyone's nostalgia, the Kikanoid Zenkaigers serve up a hell of the Curb-Stomp Battle, beating the Kudacks with everything they got. On top of that, they bring back the Big Ball of Violence from the first few episodes when the quartet is up against Retro Wald, truly cementing his defeat.
• When Retro Wald reverses time, Juran fights back with Sentai Gear #24 (Mirai Sentai Timeranger), forwarding time to the point where the Wald was beaten up using the Gear's Time Master capabilities.
• Even with all of the retro slang thanks to Great Retro Wald's Nostalgia Shield affecting their battle, ZenkaiOh JuraGaon and TwoKaiOh Cuttaner still manage to beat the Wald by using the retro slang as a way to communicate.

No. 16-kai! The Magnetic Magnetism Has Hit Its Limit-kai!

• With Stacy refusing to cooperate with Kaito, Zocks decides to take the dirty route and blackmail him into working with Kaito or else risk Yatsude finding out his true identity.
• Juran and Gaon pulling off one of the riskiest Big Damn Heroes by dragging CrocoDaiOh all the way to Mt. Iwakogi in order to get Jishaku Wald to turn off his magnetism by threatening him with the reverse thrusters on the airship. The Wald quickly does, allowing the two to land a punch in the jaw.
• Sentai Gear #14 (Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman) grants Five Red's physics knowledge, allowing Kaito to quickly deduce that fire weakens Jishaku Wald. With that, Zocks opts to use Shinken Form to light up the Geardalinger in flames. After seeing him do that, Juran suddenly remembers that his Belly Mouth can summon fire, cover his sword and Gaon's claw in fire to really neuter the Wald. Once the trio are finished, Kaito finishes him off with a solo "Zenkai Finish Buster".
• Great Jishaku Wald disables the team's combinations, so what does Gaon decide to do? Use the negative polarity to start flinging Juran into the Wald. The others quickly catch on and start doing the same before the Wald reverses the polarity. Quickly thereafter, the Kikanoid Zenkaigers instantly enact their respective Finishing Moves, slashing through the Wald in one glorious blaze.
• The behind-the-scenes for this episode showed Director Yamaguchi drawing a diagram of the various items that stuck to the Kikanoids. It really just shows how much work really goes into an admittedly very silly episode such as this.

No. 17-kai! The Anxiously Mumbling Occult Club-kai!

• Faced with the annoyance of the invisible Kudacks, an irate Zenkai Magine decides to cast a curse (the ushi no toki mairi specifically) to summon a bunch of nails to draw out the Kudacks - all with one hell of a wicked laugh. It's so creepy, even the team is utterly terrified by her.
• Sentai Gear #5 (Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan) summons the Vulcan Ball for Zenkaizer, allowing him to hit all of the invisible Kudacks all at once.
• Zenkai Juran and Zenkai Magine show off some incredible teamwork against Toumei Wald, getting quite a few hits in to weaken the Wald before finishing him off with a full team "Zenkai Finish Buster".
• With Zenkai Juran once again being turned invisible by Great Toumei Wald, ZenkaiOh VrooMagin wastes no time taking to the skies and slashing through the Wald. When he turns invisible, Zenkai Magine summons a dropper full of magical paint to make the Wald visible to their eyes, allowing for TwoKaiOh Ricky blast him to bits.

No. 18-kai! The Times in Life are Short, so Fall in Love-Zenkai!

• Zenkai Vroon drops all pretenses and goes full out ham against Renai Wald, brushing off many of the Kudacks' attacks just beforehand.
• When Renai Wald is weakened from Vroon's attack through the illusion enacted by Sentai Gear #15 (Choujin Sentai Jetman), Zenkaizer and Twokaizer combine the each other's Finishing Move to blast the Wald into oblivion. Bonus points for the scene taking place on a version of CrossKaiOh that looks like it's ripped out of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.
• How they managed to do a Shot-for-Shot Remake of the ending to Jetman, right down to Renai Wald having One Last Smoke.
• ZenkaiOh VrooMagine, JuraGaon, and TwoKaiOh Cuttaner utterly destroying Great Renai Wald with a combination of their various attacks is both an Awesome and Funny moment.

No. 19-kai! The Renewed Zenkai, is a Super Zenkai!

• Turns out that Isao and Mitsuko had a safeguard in place whenever the Zenkaigers were in trouble. Stacey inadvertently activating the two holograms allowed them to send the Zenkaiju Gear blueprints to Secchan, allowing him to then build the Gear with Flint's help.
• Kaito's Heroic Willpower and the thought of his parents allowed him to break out the illusion, something that none of the others were able to do.
• How does Kaito make his entry to the battlefield? By drop-kicking Kabutomushi Wald like a boss. Kamen Rider 1 would be proud.
• The debut of Super Zenkaizer is one long CMoA. What it lacks in speed makes up for sheer power and defense, taking on Kabutomushi Wald's attacks in stride. Super Zenkaizer then uses the Zenkai Tenlance's wire to trap the Wald in place to blast him to bits, before striking him down in one blow. He then finishes the Wald off by blasting the Zenkai Tenlance with a "Cho Zenkai Finish Buster", stabbing the Wald right through the chest.
  • Shoutout to the incredible Wire Fu when Super Zenkaizer is going around Kabutomushi Wald, especially with the suit's weight.
• It's revealed at the end that not only did Flint create Kaito's Zenkaiju Gear, she was able to create a second one for her brother shortly after.

No. 20-kai! The Swordsmen and Pirates, a Brother's Vow-kai!

• Remember the ending to Special Chapter: The World Pirates Arrive, Our Worlds Intertwined.? Turns out somehow, Reika and Ryoga Shindai have hung on long enough during Zocks's trip back to the Zenkaiger's world.
• Kaito's plan to lure out Hikoboshi Wald? He, his allies and Ryoga dress up like girls. Despite three of the participants wearing shoddy makeup and disguises, it somehow works.
• Magine and Sabela managing to defeat all the Kudacks holding them and other kidnapped women imprisoned in the room. Yes, it's a mostly offscreen moment, but still!
• The ground battle against Hikoboshi Wald features the remaining four Zenkaigers fighting alongside Kamen Rider Durendal. It's a lovely mix of gunfire, swords and fist-to-cuffs all blended into one fight.
  • Then comes Magine and Kamen Rider Sabela, the latter using her smoke abilities to provide a perfect cover for Magine to deceive him... and then the Wald falls from a height!
• Both Durendal and Sabela get to do a Sentai-style roll call.
• Flint reveals to her brother a new trinket she just invented: three new Gears based on the Kamen Riders! Zocks passes them to his allies (sans Vroon and Durendal) and what do we get?
  1. Juran uses the Kamen Rider Zi-O Gear and gains Zi-O II's Combat Clairvoyance...seeing that the Kudacks will overwhelm him. Seeing into that future, he goes violent on the grunts with King Giri Giri Slash.
  2. Gaon is imbued with the power of Kamen Rider Zero-One's gear and executes Zero-One's Rising Impact.
  3. Zenkaizer, empowered by Kamen Rider Saber's gear, summons Saber's Kaenken Rekka and performs Kaen Juujizan to finish off the remaining Kudacks.
• The debut of Super Twokaizer, topped off with Zocks performing a complex and frantic breakdancing routine to the Geardalinger's music. He proves too fast for the Wald to land his attacks.
  • Durendal also gets to show off his Time Master skills when he sneaks up on the monster and attacks him when he least expects it.
  • Twokaizer and Durendal finishing off the Wald together which results in a combination of rockets and a Rider Slash which utterly destroys the enemy. It's also fitting that two heroes butting heads with each other finally get along for once.
• When Great Hikoboshi Wald goes on the attack against the Zenkaigers, he sticks a tanzaku paper sheet wishing for TwokaiOh to lose. Magine fixes this by magically editing the page to wish for the Wald's defeat.

No. 21-kai! The Great Kaiju's Destructive Rampage-kai!

• The Tojitendo are taking notice of Flint's abilities, and they aren't happy with it. That alone speaks levels to her capabilities, despite not having a suit.
• Thanks to Zenkai Magine causing Copy Wald's printer to have a toner issue, the Kikanoid Zenkaigers use Sentai Gear #8 (Choudenshi Bioman) to enact the Bio Electro Beam to overpower the Wald. They then cap it off with a four-person "Zenkai Finish Buster" to obliterate him.
• Zenkaizer and Twokaizer easily get the best of their copies by summoning their respective Zenkaiju Gears to easily destroy them with a combined final attack.
• ZenkaijuOh's debut is truly epic, evoking the best in kaiju imagery. It lays absolute waste on Great Copy Wald's evil buildings with a barrage of bullets and missiles, and then the mecha then uses their speed and power to overpower the Wald without breaking a sweat. The duo then goes ahead and finishes the fight off with "ZenkaijuOh Twin Breaker", a combined final attack that separates Super Zenkaizer and Twokaizer to slash through its opponent with ease.

No. 22-kai! The Snickeringly Spicy Bullfighting Party-kai!

• Juran finally calls out Gaon for his bigotry, asking a much-needed Armor-Piercing Question that finally allows Gaon to undergo some needed introspection.
  Juran: Juran: If it was a human kid, would you have done the same thing? Or was it because it was a machine?!
• Gaon's recent Character Development and Jerkass Realization gets put to the test when the Kikanoid Zenkaigers and various other civilians attack him. After some thought, he decides to get the crowd to attack him, allowing for Zenkaizer to summon the Zenkaiju Gear. While beaten up to no end, he's still able to make it out enough to apologize to the team for his previous actions.
• Super Zenkaizer and Twokaizer show some incredible teamwork against Togyu Wald, sparing no expenses while slashing through the Wald's defenses. They then finish him off with a combined "Cho Zenkai Finish Buster" and "Twokaizer Rex Refreezer", blasting him into oblivion.
• As always, the mecha battle is a treat to behold.
  • Great Togyu Wald traps ZenkaijuOh in a beef tongue. Twokaizer opts to eat the trap, breaking the mecha out in the process.
  • ZenkaijuOh blasts the Wald with the Kaiju Max Blaster, only for Great Togyu Wald to suck up the missiles in his grill. The mecha then transforms into their drill mode, allowing for the duo to destroy all of his grills before finally drilling straight through the Wald.
• Battle Caesar Robo II (pronounced nisei) makes its grand debut at the end of the episode, sparing no expenses in taking down ZenkaijuOh with its blistering speed and power. Stacy is no longer on the sidelines anymore, and it is badass.

No. 23-kai! The Great Combo Trio, Earth's Greatest Battle-kai!

• Stacy seems to be at the top of his game currently. He fought ZenkaijuOh in his Battle Caesar Robo II into the night with neither one breaking a sweat. They only put the duel on hold when Kaito, who also didn't show any signs of exhaustion from the brawl, offered to engage him mono e mono the next day.
• The whole duel. To wit:
  1. Stacy and Kaito trade blows the good old fashioned way, just like other Sentai shows, especially between Marvelous and Basco.
  2. Stacy plays dirty and brings in the Ohrangers and the Shinkengers. His friends all decided to back him up, a sign of true friendship. Even Zocks is impressed by Kaito's resolve.
  3. Stacy brings in his robot... Oh, did you think it was just armed with melee weapons like the last one while also being faster and stronger? Well, you're not wrong. But Wait, There's More! It has shoulder cannons with enough power to overwhelm Zenkaizer! Now that's how you directly try to end someone immediately.
  4. Kaito enlarges as Super Zenkaizer and puts up a really good fight against Stacaesar...and then Stacy rolls in with better robot fighting skills and his robot's Caesar Dark Strike: Bamboo Splitter.
  5. The combination between Juran and Kaito results in Super ZenkaiOh Juran which gives Stacy some payback for his unscrupulous combat pragmatism...until Irijude thinks smart and sends in a Kudaitest to impede the duo.
  6. Back on the ground, Kaito's remaining teammates use Sentai Gears #19 and #33 (Chouriki Sentai Ohranger and Samurai Sentai Shinkenger) to aid Zocks in smashing the fake Ohrangers into the ground and cutting down the fake Shinkengers with a mighty slash.
  7. Zocks's combination with his ship and his twin sibling robots to form Super TwokaiOh. It easily trashes the Kudaitest Irijude sent to impede Kaito and Juran.
  8. When Kaito and Juran are forced to disengage their combination, ZenkaijuOh returns to smash Battle Caesar Robo II in a duel and destroys the enemy robot in a Beam-O-War between its Kaiju Max Blaster and the enemy's Caesar Dark Thunderstorm Blitz. A well deserved victory for Kaito and his team, indeed!

No. 24-kai! The Invasion is Complete! Can It Be Taken Back-kai?!

• The entire watermelon smash game. A prime example of Mundane Made Awesome, complete with the opening theme playing over the entire sequence.

No. 25-kai! The Great Reset! It's the Revamped Zenkaigers-kai!

• It turns out that the team already knew of Hidokei Wald's abilities when he makes his second appearance to him, all thanks to Secchan relaying this knowledge for the last six months. They played the long game despite knowing what the Wald was doing, all just to screw with him.
• Sentai Gear #16 (Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger) allows the team to perform the iconic "Babel Attack", sending off a ray that quickly destroys the Wald.

No. 26-kai! The Remodeled Prince and the Demon Surgeon-kai!

• The upgraded Stacaesar does not mess around with the team, quickly showing why he's the "Demon Prince".
  • His new shield and wrist rockets get put to good use in both fights, sweeping the floor right from the team. On top of that, his fighting style has gotten a massive upgrade since then, showing off his improved offensive capabilities as well as his defensive abilities.
  • His Dark Sentai Gears have gotten a massive update as well, now being able to summon the Super Forms of Sentai rangers. As Zenkaigers find out, they are much stronger than their previous counterparts.
  • Stacaesar summons Dark JuraGaon, a black version of ZenkaiOh JuraGaon that imitates their exact fighting style, but much stronger than the latter. Not only that, it can summon a black hole to absorb and deflect any attack it comes at it, as ZenkaijuOh quickly find out when it launches their missiles at the mecha.
  • Stacaesar summons a Chest Blaster near the end of the episode, readying his shot at the Zenkaigers before getting interrupted by a Kudaiter. If it wasn't for said Kudaiter, the team would've likely been done right then.
• Kaito steels himself after hearing that Stacey is fighting for his goals, realizing that he'll fight against him if it means that Stacey will come over to their side. All of this gets topped off with an excellent Bare-Fisted Monk moment against Stacey, nearly beating him with raw strength.
• The team get an epic roll-call this episode, fighting off the AbareMax and Super Gosei Red copies with an excellent show of teamwork, capped off with a final pose that incorporates a fantastic explosion right behind them.
• Sentai Gear #20 (Gekisou Sentai Carranger) allows for Zenkai Gaon to recreate Yellow Racer's "Racing Mechanic Dismantling", disassembling Stacaesar's missiles in the nick of time.

No. 27-kai! The Great Voyage Across the Seven Worlds-kai!

• We find out in this episode that Mitsuko managed to hack into the dimensional gate that the Tozitend use to escape from the palace.
• Magine as Mitsuko managed to completely fool the Tozitend somehow, even with her Bad "Bad Acting". Stacy seems to have seen through her deception at the end, but he lets it go because of Yatsude.
• Kaito gets the idea to blast the glacier right behind Dark JuraGaon to trap the mecha in. Once the mecha is buried, ZenkaijuOh quickly blasts it to pieces, quickly getting back home soon after.

No. 28-kai! The Weekly Shonen Manga Wald's Grand Library-kai!

• Despite being turned into manga, the manga-fied Zenkaigers kick ass just as much as the others, easily tearing through the Kudacks.
• Zenkaizer makes use of Sentai Gear #7 (Kagaku Sentai Dynaman), allowing him to perform DynaPink's "Rose Finale", an explosive attack with a rose, against Stacaesar.
• Twokaizer gets to one-shot Manga Wald with his "Twokaizer: Gold Scramble", but not before beating him to a pulp with ever-flashy acrobatics and Good Old Fisticuffs.
• ZenkaijuOh opts to destroy Great Manga Wald's ink well, causing his powers to nullify. The mecha soon gain the upper hand (engraving a "you got me" on the Wald's staff) and destroy him in quick fashion with their "ZenkaiJuOh Twin Breaker".
• In short, the art for this episode is absolutely fantastic, paying tribute to '80s and '90s manga while still adding a Zenkaiger flair. Even the minor manga bits are drawn incredibly well.
• The Medium Blending is simply a knockout, seamlessly switching between manga and live-action scenes while still retaining the dynamic action the series is known for.

No. 29-kai! The Prince's Ambitions, Do You Know Them-kai?

• Zocks proves himself to be pretty decent at tennis, despite having only read a manga beforehand.
• Kaito quickly picking up the "pirate's way" of playing tennis, even knocking out Zocks' racket during their match!
• Tennis Wald managing to gain the upper hand on the team every single time using some particularly dirty tactics that instantly boot out each of them one by one.
  • That being said however, Zocks (in his Super Twokaizer mode) uses his sheer speed to counteract Tennis Wald's balls, which seemed to have worked for a short while.
• When Stacy (or Satoshi in this case) comes to substitute himself in, he instantly beats Tennis Wald at his own game through an impressive combination of tactics, pure skill, and determination to win. His sheer skill allows him to knock off the Wald's mask with a perfectly angled shot towards his face, with the ball. The Zenkaigers are utterly gobsmacked at how amazing he is while Zocks implicitly calls him an ace.
  Stacy: I like tennis... but I really hate you.
• The Zenkaigers (minus Zocks) one-shotting Tennis Wald with a "Zenkai Finish Buster" is simply incredible.
• Zenkai-Oh VrooMagin keeps on hitting the net every time. What do they decide to do? Collect all of the tennis balls, combine them into one massive rhombus, and smash it right over the net; dubbing it the "VrooMagin Heaven's Smashing Drop Shot".
• The visual effects once again are outstanding this week, creating some particularly epic shots that would make The Prince of Tennis proud.
• Speaking of The Prince of Tennis, Takeshi Konomi actually managed to watch the episode, complimenting the series for paying homage to his manga, while also poking fun at the fact that they managed to include the infamous "tennis is a martial art" line.

No. 30-kai! The Kikai Next Door is a Kaki-Eating Ravager-kai?!

• Hakaizer's debut is chock full of awesome moments:
  • He makes his appearance on the battlefield, announcing himself as a robot protector created by Ijirude to protect the Wald. He then instantly trounces the Zenkaigers with his blistering speed and power.
  • His clever usage of the Zenkyoku Zenkai Cannon is also impressive, causing the team to be completely overpowered and outnumbered as a result.
  • Even at the end of the episode, he's barely winded by the Kikanoid Zenkaigers, only tapping out when his battery is running low.
• Despite being exhausted by Hoshigaki Wald's powers and overpowered by Hakaizer, Zenkaizer manages to grab the Zenryoku Zenkai Cannon out of the latter's hands. He then goes on the quickly finish Hoshigaki Wald with the "Zenryoku Zenkai Finale Buster" - a Finishing Move so powerful, it knocks him back a good meter or so!

No. 31-kai! The Full Combination! It's a New Release-kai!

• Gyunyu Wald is shockingly effective as a MOTW, using his powers to wipe out entire databases of information (including Secchan's), as erase key visual media (books, traffic signals, signs, etc). There is a very good chance that the Tozitend would've actually succeeded in their goals if it wasn't for the Zenkaigers.
• Super Zenkaizer shows some impressive prowess with the Zenryoku Zenkai Cannon, using its powers to summon a team of "Beast Rangers" (Blue Dolphin, Yellow Owl, GaoRed, and Zyuoh Elephant) to take out Gyunyu Wald while the others take on the Kudacks. After blasting him a good couple of times, the team comes together to enact the "Zenryoku Zenkai Finale Buster", which is still powerful enough to lift the team a few feet off the ground.
• Zenryoku ZenkaiOh makes its debut here, and it doesn't take any prisoners.
  • Zenkaizer uses the Zenryoku Eagle to take out Great Gyunyu Wald with ease, using its massive firepower to blast him to shreds.
  • Combining into Zenryoku ZenkaiOh, the mecha quickly uses a combination of agility, speed, and power to take on one of the Nu-Kudaitests on equal ground. Zenkai Vroon uses his power of machines to summon Engine Speedor, GokaiGalleon, Red Ressha, Red Dial Fighter, and Mashin Fire to break down the Kudaitest's defenses. Inspired by that move, Zenkai Juran summons Zyudenryu Gabutyra, Kishiryu Tyramigo, and JuranTyranno to sweep it off its feet. The mecha then finally finishes it with the "Zenryoku Five Slash", jumping on a bunch of building to gain air before rushing past the Kudaitest to slash right through.
  • When an even larger Nu-Kudaitest makes his approach, Zenkai Magine uses her "Miracle Power" to trap the Kudaitest in pink energy. Zenryoku ZenkaiOh goes on to finish the Kudaitest with the "All Sentai Final Big Bang", a finisher that summons all 45 Sentai mechas to bombard and overpower it with sheer power. Simply put, it's just awesome.
• Twokaizer was able to hold off Hakaizer for at least half of the episode. Hakaizer wasn't a slouch in that fight either, easily combating his defenses without batting an eye.

No. 32-kai! The Topsy-Turvy Tantrum! Are You a Monkey-kai?

• Kaito!Stacy shows some impressive smarts with the Zenryoku Zenkai Cannon to bust out the captive Kikanoids. First, he summons DynaRed and Yellow Four to create a couple of explosions for the Kudaiter to attend to. Once he's alone, he then summons Patren1gou and DekaBlue to blast the lock off the cage. The Kikanoids endlessly thank Kaito!Stacy for breaking him out as a result.
• Kaito!Stacaesar and Stacy!Zenkaizer show some impressive teamwork against Sakasama Wald, using their various capabilities to overpower him just enough for Kaito!Stacaesar to blast the Wald with the Cannon's Finishing Move.
• With Great Sakasama Wald overpowering the team with his inversion powers, Zenkaizer decides to summon the Police Ressha, Engine Gunpherd, Pat Striker and Trigger Machine 2gou to make the environment go around them in a complete circle, allowing Zenryoku ZenkaiOh to finally gain the advantage and quickly finish the Wald off.
• The human cast's physical acting was incredibly impressive, capturing their original character perfectly.
  • The Zenkaiger Twitter went out of its way to upload behind the scenes videos of the actors practicing the other character's traits.

No. 33-kai! The Great Teacher Is a Demon Master-kai!

• Vroon's impressive memory comes into the forefront when the team is up against the Tozitend's rigged test. He managed to remember the amount of teeth a Kudack has, what types of sushi Sushi Wald spat out of his cannon, and even who Gomi Wald is despite the picture being identical! (Though it's debatable if he actually remembered or simply guessed.) Unfortunately, Stacy brings an end to his winning streak by declaring he guessed Gomi Wald wrong, despite having no idea who the right one is.
• Yatsude spurs on the idea that the team dress and act as punks to lure out Gakuen Wald. After some hilarious infighting about who's cooler amongst the Zenkaigers and Goldtsuikers, Gakuen Wald pleads for them to stop. With some ham-fisted acting and sleight-of-hand, Kaito and Zocks manage to smuggle and break Gakuen Wald's tie, depowering him and his teaching staff.
• ZenkaiOh VrooMagine changes Great Gakuen Wald's test question into something much simpler for Kaito and Zocks to answer, breaking his shield. ZenkaijuOh and ZenkaiOh then go on to quickly blast the Wald to bits with a combined Finishing Move. Doubles as a Funny moment.

No. 34-kai! The Pumpkin Trick-or-Treat Competition-kai!

• Zocks somehow manages to go through his whole transformation dance and miraculously transport all the way to where Halloween Wald was, despite the Wald having a good head start on him. Doubles as Funny.
• Once Halloween Wald is able to get a jack-o-lantern on his head, he becomes shockingly extremely competent against the team, dodging and deflecting nearly all of their attacks. It takes Zenkaizer and Twokaizer transforming into their Super forms to slow him down, and even then; he still needs to be put down with the Zenryoku Zenkai Cannon.
• Zenkai Vroon manages to get the drop on Hakaizer by using Sentai Gear #30 (Gogo Sentai Boukenger) to immobilize him with cement. This causes his battery to run out completely, revealing that he was Isao Goshikida all along!

No. 35-kai! The Brightness of ◇ a Diamond-kai?!

• When Hakaizer and Stacaesar team-up, they pose a serious threat to the team. Using their abilities separately, and in conjunction, they are able to hold off and nearly defeat the Zenkaigers if it wasn't for their sheer determination.
• Despite not having the team to hold him down, Super Zenkaizer shoots the Zenryoku Zenkai Cannon's Finishing Move at full power at Hakaizer without getting blasted back.
  • Not to mention, Hakaizer surviving the whole blast despite getting shot point-blank. Talk about durability.
• Twokaizer manages to defeat Daiya Wald all by himself thanks to a clever usage of Sentai Gear #40 (Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger) to fish him out before quickly blasting him with his "Twokaizer: Rex Refreezer".
• Zenryoku ZenkaiOh invoking the Victory Robo's "Rapid Ladder Bomber" to punch right through Great Daiya Wald's defenses before defeating him.

No. 36-kai! The Surprising Prank-fest's Great Kidnapping-kai!

• Bikkuribako Wald looks very innocuous at first... until Barashitara orders him to "level up". His face pops up to show a shockingly effective Nightmare Face while his seemingly-harmless pranks throughout the city start to attack their every action and will.
  • Even before he revealed his true face, Bikkuribako Wald was able to prevent the Zenkaigers from using their Sentai Gears properly through the use of spring flowers. He then uses the same tactic on Zocks, preventing him from transforming.
• The Kikanoid Zenkaigers use Sentai Gear #23 (Kyūkyū Sentai GoGoV) to save Flint from the fire using various emergency tactics to get her medical help while tempering the fire.
• In the midst of the mecha fight, ZenkaiOh VrooMagin decide to put Great Bikkuribako Wald to sleep to prank him when he wakes up. He then continuously falls out of the bed after getting hit with a pot, throwing him off-guard just enough for ZenkaijuOh to finish him off. Crosses over with Funny.

No. 38-kai! The Ancestors are Here! Behold the Spirit World-kai!

• Bon Wald's powers allow for one's ancestor to come back to the living so long as he is alive. The real strength of his ability is the fact that he is able to make them suddenly turn on their relatives, which causes mass havoc to happen. While some of it is funny, such as Sanjo trying to attack the team, the others aren't so lucky...
  • In a dark light, Lise proves to be utterly terrifying under Bon Wald's trance, suddenly attacking Stacy with a dagger. If that wasn't enough, she apparently teleports whenever Stacy tries to run away from her, which allows her to gain the upper hand and come very close to murdering her son.
  • The Goldtsuikers' ancestor Pillart has spent the entire episode berating his descendants for having changed since his day of doing things. And then Bon Wald's powers kick in and he starts attacking them mid-tirade. But then he goes after Flint. With her big brother watching. Sure enough, a majorly pissed-off Zocks promptly gets a second wind and opens fire, transforms, and starts giving Pillart a major run for his money.
• Kaito manages to figure out in the midst of his fight with Hakaizer that Stacy's mom was affected by Bon Wald as well. With his quick thinking, he forces Hakaizer to locate Stacy, allowing for the both of them to save him in the nick of time.

No. 39-kai! The Neverending Happy New Year-Birthday Party-kai!

• Shogatsu Wald's powers are shockingly effective against the team, making them forget anything about him (as he's an immediate concern to them) because of the new year.
• The team decides to twist the fight into a joyous occasion, making them unable to forget Shogatsu Wald. How do they do this? By blasting him to bits with their Geartlingers (and Geardalinger).
• The comeback of Twokaizer's Shinken and Ohren forms, with both still providing quite a punch despite being vastly overlooked.
  • Speaking of Ohren form...Twokaiser brings in a mighty punch intended for Shogatsu Wald, only for Stacaesar to block it. Two moments of thrilling for the price of one scene as it shows the extreme durability of Stacy's shield (the immovable object) and the strength of that punch (the unstoppable force), the latter causing the ground to explode behind Stacy and the Wald.
• Sentai Gear #37 (Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger) grants the team the power of samba, along with a bunch of flashy explosions, quickly taking out the Kudacks as a result.
• Sentai Gear #35 (Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger) allows the team to swap their weapons with each other. The Kikanoid Zenkaiger are able to easily take out Shogatsu Wald as a result, using each other's weapons with ease.
• Zenkaizer using ShinkenRed's Reika Daizantou is a sight to behold.
• The whole team's combined Finishing Move, blasting Shogatsu Wald to oblivion and then some.
• Zenkaizer uses the Zenryoku Eagle to blast his way through the team's current adversaries, allowing them to break free. TwokaiOh and both ZenkaiOhs then use the Zenryoku Eagle to perform a giant version of the "Zenryoku Zenkai Finale Buster", once again blasting Great Shogatsu Wald to bits. Thanks to the strength of three different mecha, they are able to finally withstand the massive recoil on the Zenryoku Zenkai Cannon.
• At the end of the episode, HakaijuOh makes its debut, ramping up the stakes significantly with just its appearance.

No. 40-kai! The One-shot Off-chance Dad Rescue-kai!

• Hakaizer Kai and HakaijuOh are seriously no joke.
  • Hakaizer Kai not only has his previously jaunty personalty wiped, his abilities are given a serious boost; allowing him to No-Sell any attack the team gives him.
  • HakaijuOh has more than enough firepower and sheer strength to overwhelm the team in short time, thanks to the power boost from Boccowaus' energy. Its berserk state is far more dangerous, relying on sheer power to barely scrape by in its fight against ZenkaijuOh. Thankfully, Flint was able to convert CrocoDaiOh into a bazooka to defeat it.
• The team comes up with a three phase plan to break Hakaizer out once and for all:
  • Phase 1: Use Zenryoku ZenkaiOh's Miracle Power to transfer HakaijuOh to a faraway quarry so that the city doesn't gain more damage. Flint was then able to relay that Hakaizer was located in the head of the robo (thanks to the data chip Stacy gave them earlier), allowing Zocks to go in and retrieve him safely.
  • Phase 2: The Zenkaigers (minus Kaito) bring up important events in Isao's life to make him snap out of the brainwashing. While he doesn't completely break out, they just manage to bring Isao to the surface for...
  • Phase 3: Kaito uses the Zenryoku Zenkai Cannon and his Geartlinger to literally shoot Hakaizer back to Isao. Despite the risk, Kaito blasts him just enough for Hakaizer's battery to permanently run out. Isao, against all odds, manages to come back safely.

No. 41-kai! The Slippery Depths of the Noodle Swamp-kai!

• Kaito shows some surprising quick-thinking when his teammates are affected by Men Wald's trance.
  • He decides to Take a Third Option and declare that he's actually a ramen fan, making the team go after him. This would then lead him to...
  • Use Sentai Gear #15 to summon Yellow Owl to throw a tomato at Men Wald. Kaito then convinces the team that Men Wald is actually a fan of pasta, uniting them against the Wald to "protect" the integrity of udon and soba. It works against all odds.
• Isao made a mini version of the Goldtsuiker's Parallel World Gate (ripped off from the Tozitend no less) in less than a day. Flint, the series' resident Gadgeteer Genius, told the team that she managed to get freaked out by his intellect.
  • On top of that, he managed to make a Sentai Gear that was based on the next Sentai, despite not having any idea what the effect would be.

No. 42-kai! The Mew Hero Appears! A Covert Kotatsu Meeting-kai!

• When Kotatsu Wald goes on a rampage, he gets the Zenkaigers to fall under his spell. Juran's the only guy who isn't affected and he's already animal themed and he hates heat.
• When Kaito tries using the Patranger's Sentai Gear, it only causes his allies to merge into four cats under one table. Well, this ended up being handy as it's later used like a wrecking ball on Barashitara just as the general prepares to execute Juran.
• DonMomotaro's appearance, summoned by Sentai Gear #46. He goes riding in on his Cool Bike and goes wild on Barashitara and Kotatsu Wald. He even traps the Wald in a peach-like containment allowing Juran to finish him off!
  • When Dai Kotatsu Wald strikes, DonMomotaro loans his bike for a special combination with Juran. The result: DonZenkaiOh, a robot which is just as fast as it is strong, especially with a Blade Below the Shoulder. It's capable of whacking the Wald without a sweat or receiving any damage and can somersault to launch a larger manifestation of the DonBrothers' gear to vertically split the Wald!

No. 44-kai! The SD Stands For Small and Daunting-kai?!

• Needless to say, the whole duel between SD Wald. Zocks goes on the assault against the monster, each trading blows. Then as Zocks is left open for the Wald to shrink...his siblings jump into the attack...and nothing happens to them. Turns out, they're already shrunken so it won't work a second time.
• Kaito barges in and offers to help out the pirate, who gratefully accepts. The two then go wailing on the robot and finally defeat it.
• Dai SD Wald is so powerful, he can shrink buildings and even Zenryoku ZenkaiOh. the Goldtsuiker family however have had enough with his shenanigans so they go charging in piloting their ship to cover the shrunken robot which still proves to be just as nimble even when shrunken.

No. 47-kai! The Palace Assault! Stand Tall Before the Boss-kai!

• Stacy's Big Damn Heroes moment by distracting Barashitara with missiles so Setchan could guide Kaito and Vroon to safety.
• Setchan gets to join the rollcall and Kaito finally gets to stick with "the six of us are" that he tried to do a few times before when Zocks fought alongside them.
• The Kikainoid smallfolk rising up against the Tozitend.
• During the battle with IjiruDestroyer Mark IV, Ijirude rants about how the Zenkaigers always get in his way. The Zenkaigers are quick to fire back, whilst delivering an epic smackdown on him:
  Kaito: You're the one who's in the way! You kidnapped my mom and dad... stole their Gear technology... locked other Worlds away! Used their power for evil! Turned my dad into a cyborg! and brainwashed him! You've been getting in everyone's way this whole time!
  Vroon: You may be an excellent study, but knowledge is best used to the benefit of all! That is what I have learned!
  Juran: For real, though... there's one thing I'm thankful for: taking us to the other world!
  Gaon: Because of that, we got to meet Kaito, Yatsude... all kinds of humans, and cute critters! And we've made important friends!
  Ijirude: You insignificant...!!
  Magine: However! Every single other thing you've done has been a super-duper, worst ever, full-power nununu, unforgivably in overdrive, PAIN IN THE BUTT!!!
• The double Zenkai-Oh finisher: Zenkai-Oh! Non-Stop Full Break! A tag-team punch where the will of all the Zenkaigers, including Setchan, adds force enough to shred through IjiruDestroyer Mark IV.

No. 48-kai! The Heavens' Judgement, Fall of the Dynasty-kai!

• Stacey and Zocks taking down Barashita together with their combined attacks.
• Setchan — having been enlarged by the Shinkenger Gear — taking on Gege, and actually holding his own.
• Boccowaus absorbing all the Toziru Gears to transform into a humanoid version of himself, which he then uses to utterly obliterate the Zenkaigers by using their representative Sentai's powers against them. He's so effective in fact, he was able to break the Zenkaiger's Sentai Gears.
• The team's utter determination strip Boccowaus of his Toziru Gear Sentai powers, granting them a Avataro form of their Sentai Gears. Regaining their powers, the team gives Boccowaus everything they got before Super Zenkaizer stabs him in the front while being Gunned down by the Kikanoid Zenkaigers and the Zenryoku Zenkai Cannon in the back, it isn't long before Boccowaus is blasted to bits.
• The Creator of Worlds uses the Tozitend's defeat to his advantage by reactivating Ijirude's Toziru Gear System, trapping every single world into a separate Toziru Gear.

Final-kai! The World that is Mine, the Worlds that are Ours-kai!

• Kaito, by the sheer force of will, forces himself to remember the Zenkaigers, despite the Creator of Worlds suppressing his memories.
• The Creator and Kaito duke it out in Kaito's consciousness for the future of the multiverse.
  • While the Creator has the advantage of sheer might and strategy, Kaito's sheer determination and belief in his friends allows him to gain the upper hand. Kaito uses all of the Zenkaigers' techniques, as well as Twokaizer's and Stacaesar's, to overpower him little by little before punching him straight in the jaw to get him to finally back down.
  • Kaito challenges the Creator to a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. If he loses, the worlds stay as they are. If he wins, the Creator has to tell him how to release the worlds. Both of them throw down their hands... and it's revealed that paper (Kaito) wins over rock (the Creator). Accepting his defeat, the Creator tells him where he put Ijirude's device - all the way on top of the Skytree.
    • It's heavily implied in this scene that the Creator was actually convinced by Kaito's thinking, allowing him to free the worlds and allowing them to mingle because of the bonds and experiences Kaito had. That's right — The Power of Friendship literally convinced God.
• Kaito uses the Zenryoku Zenkai Cannon to blast Ijirude's device, in spite of the massive recoil. Due to its sheer power, he succeeds in releasing the worlds, allowing his friends to come back to his world.
  • Mind, he did this untransformed. As in, without the Zenkaiser suit protecting him. And he was completely unharmed, despite the massive recoil. Doubly Awesome.
• In the Time Skip, it's shown the Kikanoids managed to wrangle up the rest of the Tozitend soldiers jail the Kudaiters for good, and give a chance for the Kudacks to live in peace with them.

Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger vs. Kiramager vs. Senpaiger

• Gokai Red and Lupin Red both being part of this film, reprised by the original actors. A team-up between the vigilante Sentai Reds was something fans have dreamed of, but thought would never happen.
