Summary

The second coming of Stacy! Now in more morally ambiguous purple than ever!
Setchan: Previously on… Zenkaiger!
There was an enemy who could time travel, so we ended up recapping what's happened over the last six months!
But there's still no telling where Kaito's parents, Professors Isao and Mitsuko, are!

Stacy's back, spelling bad news for the team. Ijirude makes some alterations to his robotics that increases his power, beating the team with ease. Despite this, Kaito is still hesitant on fighting Stacy, truly believing in his hidden heart. Things only escalate as Stacy debuts his new Dark Sentai Gears and mecha, hellbent on finally defeating Kaito once and for all...

Tropes

  • Big "SHUT UP!": Stacy didn't want Kaito to remind him of the fleeting happiness he had at Colorful.
  • The Cameo: Masato Tsutamune (Gaon's suit actor) makes an appearance at the beginning as an office worker.
  • Catch and Return: Dark JuraGaon summoned a portal that swallowed Zenkaiju-oh's Macross Missile Massacre and then spat it back.
  • Cliffhanger: Having heard that Mitsuko has escaped the Tozitend though a parallel world gate, Kaito scrambles all over town in search of her.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle:
    • Stacaesar delivers one to the Zenkaigers with his upgrades, nearly winning if it wasn't for their sheer determination and a Kudaiter interrupting him mid-finisher to inform him that Mitsuko has escaped.
    • Dark JuraGaon is significantly more vicious than both Battle Caesar Robos, nearly defeating TwokaiOh and ZenkaijuOh with utter ease.
  • Defeat Means Friendship: At least that's what Kaito thought. Stacy didn't think so and is now even more persistent in trying to kill him.
  • Disarm, Disassemble, Destroy: Zenkai Gaon uses Yellow Racer's Racing Mechanic Dismantling to disassemble Stacaesar's missiles.
  • It's All My Fault: Kaito apologizes to Stacy for having caused his near-death. Stacy corrects him, stating that it was his own desire to fight Kaito in the first place, which led to his prior predicament. It doesn't have anything to do with why he is trying to kill him now.
  • Moment Killer: Platonic version. Stacy's arrival is perfectly dramatic and then Kaito just completely ruins it by glomping Stacy, complimenting his clothes and being overall very silly and very happy to see him.
  • Wham Shot: Mitsuko waking up from stasis, escaping from the Tozitend palace soon after.
  • Yank the Dog's Chain: Stacy was about to receive praise from Boccowaus for almost defeating Zenkaizer, only for Ijirude to butt in front of him and boast that it was all thanks to the adjustments he gave him, getting the limelight. Stacy is less than pleased at this.
